Friday, 13th - perfect time for... Dolphin 7 RC!

What's your favorite way to spend a Friday night? Glass of wine? Romantic dinner? Crazy clubbing? Whatever... we've got a major spoiler for you right here...

Dolphin 7 RC

This means that you can download the files and start some big-boy playing right now! And if, for whatever reason, BoonEx comes up with RC2, you'd have an upgrade pack. I know that for many this means a "Go!", and with all the waiting and delays, and Alphas and Betas, I don't blame you ... if you think it's a "Go!" so be it. We'll try to be VERY nice and helpful if you have to upgrade soon.

Okey-dokey, let's see:

Check out the list of bugs fixed in RC

Download Dolphin 7 RC

Download RMS RC

Online Demo (fresh install again)

Report bugs, post suggestions in Forums

Check out Trac for the progress of the next milestone.

And yeah, don't forget to comment in comments and discuss in forums. Not the other way around.

Great news! But, I will lean on the side of caution until it has been out for a while. Will continue testing as a beta until the final version.

My first comment. Thank you boonex. I can't wait to get started :) After playing with the beta version I went back to the 6x version last night and it blowed lol. So im glad i have an RC to play with. My only draw back is, is it really that hard to have a couple of free basic templets (say a basic black for instance) for people to start off with?

sonic,
good question, but trying to design a template for 100k+ users would be a cat fight. the template you have now is fully customizable, and the templates directory with all of the css files that control the aesthetics of the site are very well written.

im sure gorpus will have something our soon, and there was one other fella who was releasing some free templates, only problem was that they were not ported to orca, so they didnt work out too well.

DosDawg

Awesome. I have a question about scalability. MySql with ext2 or ext3 has a 32k folder limit. In older versions, Dolphin creates a picture folder for each unique member who uploads profile photos. If you have more than 32k members with photos, number 33k+ can't upload photos. This sql limit is extended to other folders like music or videos.

Has there been any change in Dolphin's infrastructure which would split the way it stores member data via folders? For example, code looks at the first 2 characters of the unique ID and creates a tiered folder structure to distribute the number of overall folders needed in a large membership account environment/site?

I am excited to start working with the RC and hopeful of it being stable enough to about go live. :) (I know, don't do it haha but I may)

good question, and being that you know about the 32k directory limitation, not file limitation, there are a few work arounds for this, or you can build on 64bit and miss it altogether. so most specifically if you are on a shared environment, this can prove tough for you, but if you are on a dedicated machine, then you can do what is needed whichever avenue you choose to take.

Haha, true dat Mr. DosDawg. I suppose if you have a site with over 32k profiles, its time to get a dedicated machine to host your site. I was just curious if the Boonex crew (or external coder) had created a clever directory hierarchy scheme to minimize the folder limit.

I thought about writing something but thought I would ask the community before I invested time in it (I can code but I'm really slow at it). 'Course, I may just upgrade my hosting package and go from there as you suggest.

Hello goodguyndfw!

Now profile pictures are part of photos modules (so old profile and shared photo systems were united). And all files are kept in folder modules/boonex/photos/data/files. so you can forget about "32K limit".

are you trying to install RMS on a windows environment? i dont even know that there is a RED5 for windows. there is an alternative here, you can hit ray up about the wowsa media server.

more fluid and not bound to only streaming ray/apps stuff.

Hi i would like to download and install this newer update version however need some feedback about something, the beta 7 dolphin i downloaded and installed however when I removed the install file it said i needed shell and had to go to dolphin to find out, the web page i installed could not be viewed, i immediately uninstalled it, was upset because I lost the previous site, i backed it up but the site would not return as it should. So i in a position in wanting the new version but do not want to end up with another down fall, any ideas on this,? and how do i get shell is it from the host that has to switch it on?
thanks

you get shell from your hosting service provider. not sure why the script told you that you needed shell for the install. the files permissions can all be changed from FTP, and there is really no other reason to be in shell other than to install RMS, but if you are not on a dedicated machine or minimum /vps, then you will need to get a third party provider for your RMS.

DosDawg

Hi.

Dolphin 7 RC - Woo hoo!

I have been waiting on this RC to begin working with Dolphin for the first time for a new community site.

Are there instructions for installing this RC specifically, or do the Dolphin 6 instructions apply and I just should use them?

Thanks in advance.

min3char,
yeah basically you would follow the same instructions as 6, 7 installs a little differently and is more user friendly than 6 or previous versions. just need to make sure that the host where you are going to install has the server configured correctly.

Thanks DosDawg.

So if I open an account with any one of the Dolphin 6 hosting companies, who run a single RMS, and do an upgrade of our accounts software from 6 to 7, then all could be okay? Or would they need to have RMS version installed matching Dolphin 7?

jordan,
you will need a dedicated machine or minimum /vps to install RMS, and RMS gets installed in the /opt directory according to the wiki files.

otherwise you will need to seek out a third party stand alone RMS provider.

Since you are on Arvixe, I would suggest asking them to do an install of the RMS for you. :) Since you are on a shared server, they won't allow an install just for you, it will be for everyone.

Wow that was quick getting the RC out. Nice!

I do have one question, I never can get an answer for.

How, Exactly do I create a profile field using Predefined values, that actually works?

I have tried 10 different ways, to make the profile field work the way I want and they never do.
Here is what I have done: this time
I made a new list in Predefined values
i went into profile field builder, made a new block, make a new field, made it a selector set it to #!listname

I recompiled the language
I used other pred lists as examples
I put __New Item

(because that is what I saw in the ones already listed)

in pred list on all my items just like in the examples pred lists
when I edit my profile and select an item, and view profile i see __New Item
not New Item
like it would supposed to be.
and when I go back to edit my profile the list is reset to the first one in the list order. So if I have 100 things listed, i would have to rescroll to reselect it.

If I didnt it would select the first one for me.

So I guess what I am asking, is there a 100% working tutorial for dolp 7 that I can use from start to finish to make profile fields.

i still do not get it to install correctly at all, i have tried everything suggested, tried all the docs, instructions, hacks, etc. My hosting company says they host many dolphin sites, but yet mine never works. I don't know if its permissions or not. I never can upload videos, music, etc. I have the RMS installed on the server, the host went through alot to get it setup, and nothing there either.
