Dolphin 6.1b1 + Ray Chat 3.5b1. With quite a few goodies.

Andrew Boon posted 10th of April 2008 in . 99 comments.

The dev train is moving on. Now the pack is feature-complete (ok, almost). Today we're moving to the point where we'll be testing and fixing, polishing and improving, cleaning and... ok, you've got it.

What's in:


  • BoonEx put Dolphin on a fatty diet and now it's gotten a little wider. Optionally wider. It's either 700 or 900px wide - up to ya.
  • Pages builders are now so much more powerful. Now you can change your site layout with absolutely unmatched flexibility. Instead of the default 2 columns you can create 1-4 columns and adjust their width. This gives you HUGE customization opportunities.
  • The login system has been improved. Now we've got a new pop-up login window here and there and that fancy 'remember me' feature.
  • Massive code optimization. Large amounts of code have been re-written to a classes-based structure.
  • And a load of closed tickets.

  • Ray Suite now boasts a new IM, really new - more like the new Chat.

  • Orca 2.0 Beta is integrated in this beta release. Use these instructions after installation to let it operate correctly.


     

But, hey!


.. yeah, yeah - after all this surgery Dolphin still needs some treatment. We see bugs here and there, spot them and kill them, but we need your help. It's a bug makeover and needs extensive testing. Play with it and comment. Pundits - please, create tickets. All guns are ready to fire up with a bug-free, fast and cool Dolphin 6.1 + Ray 3.5.


Dolphin


Ray

  • For now it's only an online preview of new Chat and IM - here.

My GOD, those ARE major changes... the profile fields editor is amazing! The page builder looks like it will be great, but it doesn't seem to be working on the demo.

Thanks!

The new builders are amazing.

BTW, You said that the pack is feature-complete, so I'm wondering if the 105 tickets that are still active will be ready or not in the final 6.1 version. http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/milestone/6.1

BUG 2.1
I saw now, that im getting these match mails (5 times) every 10 minutes.
With these mails im getting once Cron mail. Content (first time from my post):
- Start email send -
Total queued emails: 14
Ready for send: 5
Processed emails: 5
Processed emails with errors: 0

Now when i got 10 minutes later the other match mails, also one cron mail with content:
- Start email send -
Total queued emails: 27
Ready for send: 5
Processed emails: 5
Processed emails with errors: 0

Total see more mails 27? In 10 minutes this grows from 14 to 27... how is that possible? I only have 2 test users...

Greets,

thx

Please clear your cache and try to use chat again. We have checked it and there were no any interruptions in Chat and IM operations.
web
i have this problem too, the chat is loading and loading, never stop! what issue?
aliwin
I have commented this before but trying once more:
1. There is no membership action for the admin to decide allowances/restrictions to "GROUPS" and "EVENTS" for membership types.

Example:
We have created a membership type called "FREE" and set the allowances to "search, view profile, view photo gallery, send greetings and view photos". Everything else is prohibited.

However, since there are no "membership actions" for "GROUPS" and see more "EVENT" in the admin part, every membership types have full access to "GROUPS" and/or "EVENTS".

"membership actions" for those 2 (GROUPS & EVENTS) ought to be added

thanks

But I cannot register the chat widget. Already genererated a new ad code but it keeps saying 'product not found'

I've been taking a look and looks good.

I just joined a group, but when trying to make a post in the group, I got this:

Hello!

Error was fixed - groups were changed to classes, but links to old files groups.php and group_home.php were left.

partytymekaraoke
dont no if i did something wrong on the install of the new demo or not. but when i use explorer to view my site i notice that when i click on a link as in lets say Members
then the Members thing pops up under it where you have the option to click on All members, online, search, myfriends, or hot or not... well you cant click on them with exlporer. now if i use firefox then it works the way its supposed to... so you may want to check and see if thats a bug.

And i did try to submit a ticket but see more it seams to me just like everthing else that doesnt work with dolphin that took me to an error page. as long as dolphin has been around and there is still so many errors makes me wonder if its worth having.

How do we upgrade from 6.0 please?????

I love the addition of the fields builder, but two that are missing that I was really hoping for are field builders for "add event" form and "search" event. Can they be included in this version too?

Thanks for all the hard work!

Please improve the groups: add page builder foe group, rate group.

Explorer crashes when I try to go to pagebuilder/homepagebuilder

I am still getting java errors in pagebuilder/homepagebuilder, I guess I have to live with it. that was the first thing I tested in this beta because that is still my issue in the current release.

WOW!
But I still love Dolphin, just need this issue fixed.

Thank You

Hi

I'm tired here. Haven't read above! But will clickable LINKS directly in the cam window be included?

Also I would LOVE to see a drop down custom webradio at the top of this... Would be freaking brilliant!

Starting to like this ap. more and more.
aliwin
Three things

1. The statistics on my profile says 8 articles, but there are none.
2. Where can one delete sent messages that has been replied?
3. Searched "all members", which viewed, but the layout cuts photos on the right side
LeonidS
Hello!
1. Plz provide access to test profile in your site. But don't forget that this stat relates to all site content, not only for activity of this user.

2. You can do it in mailbox (my mail section).

3. It was called by old browse.php system, which was directed to show 6 column area. Now you should delete this fragment from your browse.php -

if( $iI == 6 )
$cont = '<div class="browse_thumb_thin">';
else

MichelSwiss
Nice work !!! :-)

There is a display problem for photos from gallery...
i.e.: http://www.demozzz.com/dolphin/demo/beta/photo/gallery/Hi-thereeeee
The width of the second column containing the photo is too small...
MichelSwiss
The is a display problem on browse.php... Too many thumbnails on each line.
The drop down menu to select the country is not on the same line as the label Country. The flag for the default country (All) of course cannot display !

I'm using IE7
MichelSwiss
The is a display problem on browse.php... Too many thumbnails on each line.

I think this problem is due to couples thumbnails... There are 2 thumbnails for a couple but Dolphin counts only one.
MichelSwiss
Another display problem in http://www.demozzz.com/dolphin/admindemo/admin/profiles.php?profiles=Approval

The label Ban Time In Hours is written on 3 lines (IE7)

Does anyone know what happend to having the terms agreement checkbox during registration. I can't even find where to activate it in the admin side.
maddy1
Great features. But where are the Top/Random tabs in the box headers? And in Admin builders when all items are active it is not possible to drag one to inactive. Must go in database and make one inactive there. Than it works.
I am having trouble registering and installing the chat. The install tells me that it can install the sql. Is it somethign I have done wrong? I have installed all versions of Dolphin since incepted and never had an issue with the Ray Plugin Installs. Am wondering if there is a rpoblem.

i have same problem rui1014
when i install it at last i get this message

Lots of good features and thats what am waiting for since a long time.

I checked the demo and found something missing. May be I am wrong be not able to do it.

1- Homepage Builder doens't load on my computer. I am using IE 7.0

2- There should be option of "Auto Login" to any user account for Admin so that admin can edit, delete anything for particular user.
Its required because admin interface cannot include everything to be edited.
Eg. user comments.

3- Didn't found the see more way to delete or edit tags and pictures of any user whose photo is moderated earlier.

4- At closed tickets i found that user thumbnail can be included when users sends mail to other users. But I didn't found any special tag to include at "Email Templates "

5- Photo gallary system to be still complicated. It has all the features but not good organized as we can see in other social networking websites.

Thanks for 6.1
AndreyP
1. was fixed (next demo will available in Monday)
2. Very strange offer about autologin,
.. You can browse at site as admin (you always can see this in Hello Block)
So about editing profile comments - comments system will improved soon
3. At this moment user can edit all his tags (and in pictures and at another sections)
4. Your understanding wrong :) . I just put image thumbnail (icon) at inbox/outbox at site mail (this icons not included into emails)
5. Yes, it important for us, but please see more offer to us your proposals (features that you know at another websites)
pornovue
i installed it but when i click on builders it says loading, loading, loading

Any tips?
LightWolf
I LOVE the new Dolphin,you guys rock,but i have 2 issues. with Dolphin-v.6.1.0b1, one i can't seem to register my chat,it says "Product not found" Is this because they have not released it yet? Also i can not get my dropdown menu for my font size and color in my html builder to work. It places a trans[parent dotted box to the right of the menu.

Guys.. I love you and I hate you,, I've spent atleast two three weeks to change my template from two to three columns... And now you came up with this new Dolphin just couple of days before lunching my site.... GREEAATT,,,
It's amazing... I love the 3-4 column with changable witdh..
But seems like the 3-4 column is not working at
http://www.demozzz.com/dolphin
you can change the columns but when you are back to the site nothing happens if you visit the site from DASHBOARD then you can see the see more changes...

Great job you guys

Hello!

Thnx for warm words :-)
About demozzz site:

1) Admin demo locates in

2) It was rested every 10 minutes. Seems after your changes system made reset and you saw from user site default version of Dolphin. Now we increase this interval to 30 minutes.

Thank you Andrey for your personal response.

1- Well "Auto Login" features seems very strange for you but belive me in near future you will definetly feel it to have it included.
Its becuase due to it Admin can have total control over a user on each n every part which are not yet included in admin interface.
Like in admin interface there is no good option of editing user groups, blogs, comments.
Its not time consuming job, just need to start a new temp session on particular username. see more
Currently admin and user is running on same session name. It should be different so that after login on user account admin section shouldn't get logout.

2- Still I didn't found the way to delete or modifiy photos uploded by the user after it is already moderated.
It is required when mistakely some pictures get approved.
Yes, user can modify n delete but admin cannot.

3- When any user forget its password, he/she tries to "Forgot Password ?", then I found that password get reset with new one and mail sent.
But due to this in my site some users are getting problems, because someone else just reset password of known user and daily need to get new password.
For this solution, email should be sent with reset password link on registered email so that it is totally authorize.

4- Photo gallary system should be like in hi5, orkut, friendster.
I mean to say to see next picture or to check profile, navigation are not properly organized.

For eg. After viewing the photo from the index page, if user need to see his/her profile then on nick name to be clicked. There should be something like "View Profile", "View Other Pictures"

5- There is no album option for user to group set of pictures.

6- When user sends mail to other user then at email template there should be :

a) Senders photo thumbnail with profile link.
b) Should have one unique private link so that receivers can directly go to inbox page without giving username and password.
This can be achived if above "Auto Login" system can be implemented.
Currently this system is used by hi5 and many others.

7- I know "Contact import" from yahoo and msn are not logically possible to implement because crul script need to be updated very timely as soon as anything get changed at yahoo.

But one thing can be done as it is done on orkut.
Like letting registered user to invite to their fav email addresses. And as soon as invited user get registered then get added in friendlist automatically.

And if user is already in database then picture is shown of that user and invitation is sent to accept as friend.

I have done it and can be checked on lovelynepal.com for your refrence. But it is made on JSP.

Must of the above parts like auto login and invite i have done for myself but I want to be it included in new 6.1 so that everyone can use it in proper way.

Don't took me wrong that I am only takeing out the negetive part of dolphin.
I want dolphin 6.1 to be best.

Thanks.

Don't know if it is a choice or a problem...

Can anybody confirm whether the following features come with 6.1
1. Private photos
2. Points/credits system
I did post the same when alpha was released, but did not see any response to it. Please let me know about this, should I wait for these two till 6.1 final release or should I proceed with private mods offered by some expertzzz.

I'm having a problem trying to register A\V Chat for Dolphin 6.1b1; I'm getting a Product not found! Also when I goto admin -> Orca and click on EN it tells me there's a javascript error. How do I fix those things other than that the new Dolphin is pretty good! Keep up the good work and let us know when the final release is out. Thanks!

Unoboonex,

Seriously I took off Dolphin 6.1b because of two error 1) can't register ray widget. 2) Forum displays a [L] and when I create something then a user goes to that topic is says Access Denies.

However the uploading files went fine after alittle adjustments to the php.ini and the ,htaccess file. I assmume you fixed the uploading crap. I right now am freshly uploading the Dolphin 6.1b again because I think I copied over Dolphin 6.1a and that may be the reason why it wasn't working. see more I had to notify all my users of the change and back up the sql file-but still the users have to re-register to my site again.

I really like this software and I think it's the best there is but come on guys! My server is fine also and if it was working with 6.1b then it should work again. I'll keep you posted on any more errors that I find.

Hi,

Did you remove the "chicks for free" feature in this version? I couldn't see it in the advanced settings anymore.

Can't you put it back... And preferably allow us to set different memberships for the different choices? For example, males get subscription 1, females subscription 2, couple subscription 3 etc automatically?

Hello,
First I would like to thank you for this excellent software.
I am building a social network website for the senior citizens in Israel and I will use Dolphin.
I am a newbie in Dolphin and into this community.
I am testing this version ,as well as building Hebrew language and RTL template.
I have found a few bugs:
1. Orca forum to groups gives [L[[Access Denied]] though I compiled the language.
2. Where do I add a language file for Orca?
3. =>Wierdest bug: each change on the user's see more profile makes the user inactive. Why?
4. Nor FF or IE7 can reach to read the posts in the blogs
AndreyP
1. You should recompile Lang file for Orca (go to your orca due logged as admin, here will lint 'en' to recompile orca language)
3. after changing profile settings profile become 'approval', then Admin review him, and can change status to 'Active'
4. Are you sure? Blogs works even at IE6 .. describe more detailed please
szadok
Hey Andrey thanks for your reply.
1. I recompiled the Orca Lang File. and it works when I go directly to /orca. it is not working when I go to /groups/orca/?action=goto&forum_id=1#action=goto&new_topic=1
2. All my members are Active, yet when a member changes his profile (for instance birth date or male / female) he becomes inactive again.
3.Funny enough, when the Language is English I can read the blog posts, But when I switch to Hebrew NOT :-(
If you want to take a look, My dev server see more is at:
http://84.110.159.101/cc50-dev/
Thanks.
AndreyP
Recompile Group orca too :) (same actions)
AndreyP
I checked
http://84.110.159.101/cc50-dev/
.. are here was installed fresh 6.1 alpha ?
szadok
yes. 6.1 alpha. A mistake? :-)
btw, also on the demo site blogs are problematic.
AndreyP
no, just interesting ..
strange this problem .. need debug locally
szadok
very wierd huh?
No I also get another issue with the Group forum:
I get the following error while logged in:
"Access denied. You must have special permissions to access this area or you are not logged in."
cofelice
I think the add link feature needs tweaked. It's adding the webite domain in front of the created URL. Example: If I add a URL cool.com, dolphin adds my sites name in the front of the created URL making it mysitedomain/cool.com. This causes the site not to link correctly.
