Dolphin 6.1RC + Ray 3.5RC Combo!

Getting closer to the release stage! It's amazing how much progress each pre-release version makes, and, today, we show you the Mighty, the Incredible and the Super... Pages Builder! Not like we didn't have one, but now it's a lot more powerful and it actually changes the overall Dolphin experience.


Pages Builder

Now, you're not limited to just two site width options. Instead, you can set any width for your site or individual page types. And, it can be anything from the mere 760px up to stretchy 100% width! And, you do it with Dolphin style!


On top of that - you can now create your own pages! (should I have added more exclamation marks in this post?) Read it again. And again. And now.. once again :) Create your own pages and launch them within your Dolphin-based community adding all the blocks you see in standard pages builders. When you think about it - it's a huge starting point for an imagination workout... How about, say, adding a small Amazon-powered mini-store with RSS from one of your forum threads, news-line and a custom block with a little bit of your talented marketing blurb text. Sounds cool!


Now the builder gives you really tight control over page columns, properly warning you when you narrow things down a bit too aggressively. And don't forget that all changes are instant (albeit there's a "Restore" link for overly-too-joyful souls) and what you see is what your members get ;)


New Comments


.. in other words - GREAT new comments. Now it has the totally coolest comments system available in any community script out there. With multi-step nesting, voting, delayed editing and deleting, all AJAXish and sleeeeek! Don't underestimate comments - this is where 50% of the community life goes. And now they're better than ever.


And...

We almost always have that "and...". Now it's a new homepage promo, which is now not Flash-based, but a JS-based script that lets you load large pictures, resizes them according to your homepage width and rotates them smoothly. No more problems with squeezing your lengthy "Aloha" into the message box. Just prepare a set of nice images - and enjoy the party.

Oh, and tags are now SEO-friendly. And a bunch of bugs have been kissed a sweet goodbye.


Now, to the links galore:

This looks great! And I am going to update as soon as I get to my computer. I logged into the admin demo to see and I noticed that you still cant update the fields when you update the profile.
Like for example. Lets say I dont want the "Looking For" Field. I cant find a way to remove it or change it. And it shows up in both admin and on the user under my settings.

Wow !!! Thank you for this nice work :-)

To reach the perfection, the page builders just need to allow the horizontal division of any page in parts which will be able to contain a different number of columns ;-)

Hello Andrey :-)

I'm talking about the possibility to have areas with different number of columns on the same page ;-)
Just a dream for me, but possible to do for guys like you who did already much more difficult things :-))

Anyway Dolphin is already a great script !!! Congratulations again for the new comments system :-)

First of all i want to say how amazing is this new dolphin. I only will say team well done!

Some small things i saw till now:

1. Again with orca :(

After creating a new group i am trying to make the first post as owner (from the button post topic (that in the purple up box) and i am getting:
Orca :: Interactive Forum Script
Access denied. You must have special permissions to access this area or you are not logged in.

2. From the admin when i want to create (add) a profile---> i am geting Profile not specified (in pedit.php page).

... thats for now --> i 'll be back :)


Team you are the best :)

p.s also the orca group Access denied message i have tried in boonex.us. It is there too.
I can post as member but not as group owner from the up button.
If i try to use Post a new topic choice, just above the "Please follow to the forum to view all forum topics", i can post.

Unfortunately, what is not so good is the old sprachfiles no longer import, this should be a possibility, which the user can create their own languagefiles.

At least it should be possible to the dual languages to be able to use without the whole sql needs to be changed.


Continue to be here as an add-free version offered (without advertising)

Wow, the page builder is amazing! Still has some bugs when trying to place new boxes, but overall a great advance! Also the tinyMCE integration has some bugs.

But what is desperately needed is the ability to upload files in Orca and groups and the ability to get notified on new Orca, Blog and homepage posts.

Of course also an option for complete privacy, i.e. turning off all notifications and mails

I hope you don't get tired of me commenting on your blog. You are doing a great job and if I may I am going to keep my eye on you. Your enthusiasm is contageous.

I need you to upgrade the calendar to include recurring events and the option to list all events on one line per each event (Condensed Listings)

Thanks Bro,

Juker
