Looking for alpha testers for Dolphin Pro

Heyo,

I am looking for someone that can do some alpha testing on a copy of their test site. I have updated "a lot" of things so i was wondering if someone could just drop the files on their test site and see whats broken.

All you need to do it download the zip and merge the files with your test site, clear all the caches, no database changes required. I would love to know what/how 3rd party mods break as well.

So... who is interested?

Hi Prashank. You've helped me in the past so I'll try and return the favour.

I'm downloading now.

What exactly should we be looking for when uploading all this on top of the current site?

What updates are there in it?

How would you like the "bugs" reported?

This is most probably will be a dolphin pro release at some point, there are a lot of changes like mysql to PDO. I am just trying to get an idea of what backward compatibility issues we should be looking at.

Copy paste whatever error messages appears. Maybe that test site address if you don't mind? Thanks

Would I need to do a reinstall on my test bed? Or can I drop the files over the top of my existing test 7.3.0 install?

Opinion?

Theres gonna be more changes soon. I suggest everyone leaving it for now, i will post here later when its more "finalised".

Sounds good. Just tag me or quote me so I can know to download and install it. Thanks.

http://dp.prashank.xyz/ is the build I worked on to make php 7 compatible.

admin password is password

anyone interested in breaking it? That will help a lot. Thank you.

If a module developer is reading this, could really use your help sir, can you pls download the source from the link above ^ and test your module(s). You will have to change all constructors to php 5 style "__construct" and

replace

$rMenu = db_res($sQuery);
while ($aMenuItem = mysql_fetch_array($rMenu)) {

with

$rMenu = db_res($sQuery);
while ($aMenuItem = $rMenu->fetch()) {

and that's it...

Using PDO binding should be optional. See if that works at all or breaks. TY :D

Hi Prashank. I'm a bit confused. What exactly do you need us to do?

I'd love to help as PHP 7 has such a massive performance reduction on most apps, but not sure what we can do.

I tried to look for the download source on the site but couldn't find it.

It's in the original post above.

oh snap lol

Agreed :)

OK great. So what we can do is download that, install it using PHP 7 and see what breaks?

Pretty much and php 5 will do as well, 3rd party modules need to be updated to work with this. I hope some vendor actually try it sooner so i can get an idea what mistake i may have made and fix it before a beta release breaks everything and then need another big update...
