Dolphin 6.2, Ray 3.6, Orca 2.1 Now In Works

First and most important will be the Quick Search Block from the Home Page.Let users add their own fields. There are many who needs it. For example add Country and City Search to be an option for people. There is one mod for that i already seen in most dating website, but Dolphin doesn't have it.
When user is filling the Join Form, after he selected his Country, another
City field will drop down under it, which will let him select his city or region. I know that for this you need a quite large geo database with cities around the world and you don't find it for free. But later you can add it as a mod for someone who wants it and to buy it. Or just integrate it into Quick Search, so that the user can add his own cities related to a country. This can be very useful and more appropriate mod for a community script like Dolphin.

2nd and also annoying, is that the user CAN add Articles. So everyone can spam it without any problem.

3rd would be the chat admin. The admin cannot moderate any chat room and has no controle over it, so all you have left is to hope he will leave.

On previous post, i wanted to say "let admins add their own fields in the Quick Search" (...) "so that the admin can add his own cities related to a country" not the users, sorry :)

In Builders/New Page I would like to be able to add horizontal rows as well as vertical columns.

In forums (via Admin) I would like to be able to transfer selected forum entries to chosen Groups.

In Chat I would really appreciate a Moderator facility

Shoutbox: via Admin, edit/delete comments (this is available as an free addon but should be a part of Dolphin.

For me the ability to add new pages and have a multi column ability was the missing 'ingredient' all in all Dolphin 'rocks' Congrats guy's

My suggestion is power through the admin dolphin, enable and disable items, sitelinks stat.
It would also be good if in the user's profile showed the number of friends and numbers of scraps, I know that this detail is not the focus now, but users like to display the numbers and that would be good if it were not native of dolphin mods ... what to boonex would not be so difficult to enter this data to future versions.

1/ ray chat flood filter (kick user that flood posts at 4 lines in 3 seconds)
2/ ip look up, ban (list all accounts with same ip log last 2 ip's used by same member)
3/ admin sets access for moderator permissions ( so we can have different staff to do different functions, i.e. media moderators, profile/ forum and global moderators

4/ admin login i understand. but moderator login on different page is senseless to me. can we have moderator permissions linked to their user accounts?

*page builder
*optional package install /orca /ray some dont need to install the full package.
*more functionality from the menu instead of just the horizontal, would like to see vertical options.

* allow comments by members only
* allow for the default memberships to be deleted the standard and promotional

well thats all i have

I don't have many demands :-)
So just Scrapbook functionality.

Top 3:
1. Categories for Pictures (both personal and public albums), and Videos so they can be more organized. Many people have requested this.

2. Privacy. Users should be able decide who is allowed to view their profile, comment on their profile, and see their birthdate. See Facebook/Myspace for examples of good implementation of privacy.

3. Ratings should be traced by user, not ip so we know who rated what and they can't vote multiple times.

Is it possible to add a mod that allows you to put in local time? I am based in Thailand and my server shows US time.

1)The profile photo should be a block. and should be able to make the block smaller. It takes up to much space on profiles.

2:)ip look up, ban (list all accounts with same ip log last 2 ip's used by same member)

3 :) Video
*Nicer interface for video player (not so blocky, more elegance)
*categories for videos
*ability to put youtube vid instead of uploading your own and then youtube vid gets embedded instead of dolphin player, with same comment functionality and the rest..

4:) Better spam protection, IE let members report spam and if more than X amount of members report a spammer then they get put into quarantine Automagicly.

Love you work guys and gals!

SPEED? AND I'M NOT TALKIN ABOUT THE DRUG!

1) Publish bug fix or improvement as soon as known with a short description of the problem, a short description of the solution and the code of the fix/improvement
rather than collect that staff and publish hudge upgrade patches that could content 80% of code that is related to features not used by some of your "clients".

2) same like 1)

3) same like 2)

4) same like 3)

5) Create a searchable repository for these fixes/improvement

:-)

fix couples profiles to show only primary photo like singles, not two photos for a couple.

Desperately needed: file upload in Orca and groups!

1. Captcha for guestbook and comments side wide!!
2. Page builder
3. Possiblity to add "actions" to membership levels. This means, specifying which features
memberships are allowed, at the moment its only the standard rules
4. Fix the polls as my post "All polls - SOLVED" said but with pagination
5. Pagination on contacts side and everywhere where you could need it!

Just my ideas ;)

Greets,
Jerry

1. Only members are allowed to give some comments on videos/music and profile.
2. Merge the profile and photo album.
3. Allow multiple uploads of pictures so that it is not annoying for some beginners. .

Thats all my suggestion :) . . not a demand,. hehehe *cheers*

"New comments notify" in member.php,I ithink it is simple and must have, Option to be notified by email when new comment is notified will be a gem.

Comments by everyone or friends only

Option that admin can decide wheather to show age or DOB on profile age,Showing DOB is security issue.

Uploading multiple photos in one go

Making profile visible to everyone or friends only

Email notification when added as a friend

multi friend invite/import address book from msn yahoo hotmail gmail facebook myspace

Make us able to change the upload video and music process to open more the mod range :-)
More stability, after for new fonction, as I already tell : we have mod, if people want this or this fonction, they have to buy it, you can't do every fonction for everybody

Here is my cents. Before doing it all. You guys should make critical patches out right now, cos they really are critical.

Current hackable remote bugs for 6.1.2

Look at:

http://www.astalavista.com/index.php?section=exploits&cmd=details&id=6128

http://www.astalavista.com/index.php?section=exploits&cmd=details&id=6132

Hi all
I believe private photos shoeld be a standard future in dolphin.

Thanks

Please fix the IM issue in Ray Desktop - it's the only thing that doesnt work as it says 'LOADING' and nothing else.

Also if more financial features could be added. Also making the site more faster loading if possible.

Multi friend invite/import address book from msn yahoo hotmail gmail facebook myspace, someone who joins with that invitation as automatically added to friend list of person who sent invitation, email notification when added as a friend.

Categories for Pictures, Videos and Photos (both personal and public albums) so they can be more organized.

Site Stats Builder, active items/all items, plus be able to add new item and change the order easy. (Like Navigation Menu Builder)

Allow member to set private photos(should be a standard future in dolphin).

Publish bug fix or improvement as soon as known with a short description of the problem in member area.

1) Improve/simplify photo uploading functionality. Users should be able to browse/select multiple photo and upload once.

2) Users ability to create photo categories/album (private and public). Same with video and music.

3) Automatic email notification when user's friend receives comments, added new photos, blogs, forum or any updates, etc.

4) Improve "invite a friend" link/module.

5) User's activity/reward points system.

1. multiple photo upload
2. photos put into groups / albums
3. captcha on comments / posts
4. moderators connected to profiles ( no seperate login )
5. multiple friend invitation from other social networking sites
6. Private or public profiles (privacy must)
7. better administration of orca
8. Report, abuse options ( already there but you dont get any input why from the person)
9. enable / disable site stats
10. Disable anyone adding articles

Thankyou for an already great script.

1. Multi-Server Load Balancing Plugin Store / Convert video /music / images / database on an Unlimited Number of Servers

video /music / images / database queries Conversion is a CPU / Memory resource-intensive process. Video Streaming is a Bandwidth / Hard-Disk drive resource-intensive process. Therefore, Scalability is crucial for a successful social community website.

I suggested a Plugin that allows you to:use unlimited servers for video /music / images / database conversion / storage.

Also documentation is needed. I read a service that you provided true HostToweb, but thats not the best solution!

2. Database cleaning, I came across a lot of unneeded queries that slow down your website when you have 10.000 + users using it.

3. Design Improvement. Redesign the home page, video and user profile are needed. I imagined Dolphin always as a slicked and web 2.0 designed script. Facebook has a nice design, the combination of those will make it the best of both worlds!

hello to everyone, even from me some things: (simple improvements to Ray):
1) Ability to customize forms/modules of chat, (I believe that even just a file fla. Giving more customization options)
2) How can improve quality audio / video?
3) Im more fictional, now not much ... (If you're not chatting the messanger not work)
4) Automatic user exit from the chat rooms (now you can be present in several rooms simultaneously)
5) Option creating new rooms only for users with membership option, and not free for all as it is now...
6) when a user is chatting, research members online, appears as offline ...

An unsubscribe option for newsletters.

In Builders/New Page I would like to be able to add horizontal rows as well as vertical columns.

Categories for Pictures (both personal and public albums), and Videos so they can be more organized.

When registering a couple would be great if users could associate their normal profile to their couples profile

1. Query Caching: http://www.petefreitag.com/item/390.cfm
2. Template caching options are useful for speeding up response times when assembling elements of a template on a page that is based on the template or dynamically assembling a Portal Template for items.
3. Database Caching: Source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_caching

Well there are so many things one can ad to develop a multi purpose framework.

1. Moderators and admin able to upload photos etc to profiles
2. Abuse options - enable or request input from the accused person
3. Option to select which site stats to be displayed
4. Most important - A multilevel membership application option before completing the application form - Some members need access to site but don't want to risk being exposed. Must also have a different set of application form fields and must also have the option to enable or disable being found by the search option.

Anyway.... Keep up the good work
Rusty

"Registration by invitation only" feature more improved. Because the user can type in his browser directly ANY ID, even if does'nt exists he can join the site, and this makes it useless. whatever ID you type in your browser you can still join. Test and try something like http://www.mysite.com/?idFriend=99999 . That means the user with id 99999 invited you. You can type even 999999999, and you can still join, even if user with id 999999 doesn't exist.

an IQ test to see if your smart enough to download and install Dolphin the script?



humor guys

moderators who can ban users and delete photos ...

Oh well, I guess an admin & user manual are too much to ask for. After all, if you have enough bells and whistles, it doesn't matter if everything works, you just point them to another neat item elsewhere and they will forget about the problem they were having at first.

1. It will be nice to have a section inside Admin with different RSS feeds to choose from and enable them on the site

2. To create an email option for users, if they want to have something like username@dolphinsite.com - for those who want this function

3. To have more interaction from Admin with the Front, in terms of redesign appearence

4. To develop a small application for users, to be downloaded and used from the desktop, in order to keep contact with their account and things on the site

5. For the paid membership sites, to include an option for highlighting the payment day to the users, by sending them an automatically reminder email

6. Also, for the paid membership sites, to include an option for SMS subscription through a list of operators from their location

7. To include a geolocation script that allows the users to see who is near them

8. For the RSS part I mentioned before, to include an option to autoselect RSS feeds based on the geolocation of the users, based somehow on the AdSense model

9. To include in the chat application the option of environment change (like in Yahoo Messenger)

10. To analyze a little bit the facilities from other scripts (i.e. AbleSpace 1.0 or AbleDating 2.4) and get inspired for some nice widgets, like 3D Chat

11. An option into the Admin area, to highlight the IP's per user and filter same accounts based on IP as a warning for the Admin, with a status changing to normal in case there are 2 or more coming from the same IP

12. Continuing the previous idea, you can add an account maturity analyzer, to see the status of activity for accounts, and in case of dead accounts for more than a defined period of time, to send automatically / manually an alert to the user with a deadline, and in case of no response to suspend the account immediately (as a measure to free up the database)

I hope that maybe some of the up-mentioned things will be usefull :)

Regards and best wishes to all Boonex Community !

In smart-pro we must be able to insert adsense or any other codes into IM.

I would like to add 3 more points :)

13. A shopping chart script included for those who want to combine the community site with a shopping option for members (books, dvd's, etc)

14. Also, continuing the above idea, to include an option, similar with the send kisses, to send flowers or other gifts between members - in this way the site will gather some revenues from the in-site transactions

15. In the Admin panel, to include options for integrating other scripts from different vendors, similar with Ray and Orca

That all for now :)

Regards !

Hello,

I hope that in the next Dolphin updates there will be an option where profiles can be customized by members similar to friendster where you can edits the css and it also gives the chance for other programmers and designers to make their own designs which means there will be millions of pre-made profiles available in the net and ita also a good advertising stint for Dolphin hehehehehe. One more thing as what I have read above in the earlier post I also like the integrated shopping page where it will be similar to ebay or other online auction store so my members can sell or auction their products.

Thanks!!
God Bless.

1 - Ability to create subcategories for orca, groups, articles etc.
2 - Ability to translate Email templates to different languages.
3 - Ability to write title, description to group gallery and group home needs some visual improvements.
4 - You can specify some criteria for RSS news section. For example if user change language from English to German
read this RSS, if user change language from German to Russian display this RSS something like that.
5 - Sure we need video music photo categories.

Ray widgets languages should automatically load corresponding to user's language like Orca if language already present in lang folder.

1..SEARCH FORM FOR MUSIC,VIDEO AND PHOTOS..

2.. ADSENSE BLOCKS

3..CUSTOMIZABLE BLOCKS

4..ABLE TO AD MUSIC OR VIDEO TO PROFILE FROM GALLERY WITH A CLICK.

a mod for uploading and sharing presentations of power point, word, excel, PDF etc.. something like the current video feature but for documents.. you know something like the http://www.slideshare.net/kaa/manga-conquers-us, feature , provided by http://www.slideshare.net...

I wish to:

1) have more attention to multi language implementation: now there are a lot of fixed strings inside php code not managed by key language;
2) choose the membership level given to members at their first registration: this is to have the chance to have different promotional levels in different periods;
3) have a pre configured matching profile fields like meetic or similar;
4) block backgrounds view untill moderator approval;
5) have a better upgrade procedure, with a single script, automatic and save.

:-)

-- A member may have its own newsletter html.
-- Builder lack function audio - video in the bar tools
-- Commentary Video
-- Sent an audio kisses a friend (s)
-- Function admin change the plan arrier

Dolphin:

1: Greater modeartor functionality
2: Improve builders, you cant change every single page
3: Admin Panel: Ban IP
4: Privacy, Users should be able to block people from contacting them via messaging, and also block people from viewing there profiles
5: Installation, more granular, select options to be installed as some dont need the whole package.

Ray:

1: Ability to block someone from viewing your video feed.
2: IP BAN function
3: Greater admin controls, delete rooms / moderate etc / invisible mode, so admin cant be seen in chat
4: General asthetics, make the cam blocks more rounded and professional looking, it all looks a bit clunky at the moment.
5: Default room creating, when first launched the chat should have a room, it currently doesnt.

Im sure I could think of 100's more little things, but these are the nuts and bolts.

I am back with some more suggestions:

16. When a community member unsubscribe, the system to send him an email on the registered email thanking him for his presence and asking him to answer a short poll in order to identify reasons of leave

17. At the begining of the subscription process, to have like a profiler of customer interest, where the future community member is selecting areas of interest - the idea behind this profiler is to create an engine that sends specific Ads (like AdSense) based on predicted customer perference (these Ads can be personalized RSS feeds or banners)

18. To include in the mail section the option for voice / video mail

19. To introduce a tracking points system for the members, where based on a predefined or specific matrix, they can accumulate or loose points - and also to consider a conversion between points and money value (in this way, based on writing in Forum, Blogging, posting interesting A/V material, they can even pay for there subscription or win real money as contributors)

20. In order to expand the Boonex Community, you can think at a system for generating a sub-site into the master site (where the member belongs to) - so practically you give the freedom to the users to generate their own community and start using it under the master site umbrella - in this way you can think at a pyramid system of sharing profits between the master site and sub-sites (if you need more info about this last issue, we can discuss in detail)

If I will have new ideas, I will come back and post them.

Greetings all !

1. Age instead of date of birth in profile view
2. Deprecated events should automatically disappear from homepage and events page
3. Date in "my contacs" should be dd/mm/yyy
4. When answering a members' mail, original mail should be shown
5. Members' name should be mentioned on homepage in "topmembers" and "leaders"
6. On the "search profiles" page, members should list alphabetically
7. Latest feedback should always be shown on homepage, not randomnly

Add a payment option where admin can insert own options instead of standard paypal and other creditcard options.
Just add an option which mentions a bankaccount number for members to make money transfer through (online) banking.
