Well this weekend is going to be fun... How do I know..? Well for starters that DOLPHIN ICON is looking REALLY nice NOW. LOVE the shading, extension in the face, much more Joyous w/PURPOSE!!! Nice JOB Art TEAM!

 

Now we are looking at some nice Module add-ons and some major script clean up so I am excited to get started -->

This Blog is following the Latest TRUNK build 10948 provided TODAY from BoonEx of the Dolphin 7: 'Hookie" Alpha Smart Community Builder Software.

I am loading on a UNIX Stack: Centos5, Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2.9, mySQL 5.0

Additional to the stack: JRE1.6Dev, ImageMagick

That's it: Playing on a cPanel - Release ;)

Built my own Zip from the TRUNK zip: I have added AVATARS at default for my purpose: Total 99

FileZilla my ZIP

cPanel Extract

FileZilla: Permission/Install

cPanel: SQL creation among other things

----------------------------------------------------------------->

 

I be back soon. I hope this weekend helps some of you get more comfortable for what is going on. I do not like to see distress amongst Unity Members.

 

:)

BROWSER(s) TESTING: CHROME | SAFARI | FIREFOX | IE8
All Browsers are in thier LATEST avaliable buiilds: CHROME does NOT have GEARs activated.

Install: Excellent
1) Like: How you indentify missing directories and files
2) Like: How you have a drill down upon selecting 'check' at first I thought I was seeing Double :)
3)Viewable in ALL Browsers! Functional in ALL Browsers.
4) No 'errors' , No 'reversal' errors
5) Like the FYI at the end towards what next 'Modules' after removal of install directory.

----> Well then I logged In...

Admin Dashboard:

1) Don't forget to clean up the URLs on the Top Header Menu back to you -> Maybe OpenNewWindow ;)

2) Yep: PageBuilder(s) nice direction in the per page / drop down

3) Settings: Basic Settings and Advanced Settings are looking Excellent. I really like the Dril Down / Drop Down Menus: Organized.

4) ALL BROWSERs GRooVy:Excellent

5) I like how: Modules and Extensions are Steps 2 & 3 to the Install Process. Everything is setting itself up for a nice (MANUAL:Jtaedo???:)

More see more to come...

Modules & Extensions:

1) Even though they are 'disconnected' I like how they are positioned. If NOT installed AUTOMATICALY then it provides an opportunity for the Community Developer to scale/model their community quickly without gettiing overwhelmed. Then when ready they can install Mods depending on Community Needs and Extensions depending on Community Needs. I Like it.

2) So....I have really enjoyed reviewing the CORE of HOOKIE per say.

3) The MAIN TAB Menu and the subNAV Menu anyway see more we could make the Drop Down in TAB an option? Granted '+' must continue AS IS ;)

4) Even starting to enjoy the lower Floating Member Nav Bar... WHo knew :)

5) On my orginal BUILD of Alpha, I went ahead and loaded the new MOD (FileZilla & Admin Dashboard) everything went fine. I am going to try only Admin Dashboard next. Also expanded the AVATAR images to 99 just to see, easy :)

more tomorrow...

BUIILDERs:

TEAM: I was working in myNoodle last night while sleeping :)

Can we take Nav Menu in Builders an lay it out Vertically instead of Horizontally. When I do this: It expands the Browser Page properly in an Up/Down Scroll however it also utilizes subMenu (DropDown) by placing them Horizontally next to their Vertical Main parts.

In my Brain, ;) I even had Active and Inactive sidebyside vertically which allowed drag and drop w/ far greater ease: Granted I still had to jump some blocks see more around as the Vertical Window is rather large but far easier to manage then the Horizontal w/ Dual HorzSliders.

Just was far easier working in an Up and Down motion rather right to left and losing the 'visual' of inactive blocks.

...in my Dreams, right ;) lol

MEMBERs:

Expand/input the 'pink section' w/Moderator,Affilate -> functionaility. Could really treat these 2 as SUBs to the ADMIN which you have done SO NICELY! Titles,Icons,Profiles: SEAMLESS :)

(( Simple,Extended,Geeky )) PERFECT. It really does lend itself to quick: Admin, REVIEW and MODERATION of the Overall Community Environment. I LIKE 'order by': is it expandable?

single? maybe 'individual' = Individual Profile

couple? maybe 'business' AND 'family'

because let US all face see more the FACTs 'the SINGLE, NEED to HOOKup and PARTY Profiles' ARE WIDLY COVERED on th NET in its CURRENT state. LET US just do something different but far more encompassing to the real reality of GLOBAL COMMUNITY whether Digital or Flesh!

There are More Families, Individuals and Business in the WORLD than there are single and couples ;)

And then it almost is complete Community = Admin,Mods,Aff,Individuals,Business,Family w/Community Membership Levels... I think that about covers any and every option.

Anyone...

Really enjoying it. Thank you :)
Have a fun, productive week :)

Thank you for detailed "hands on"... Some of your points give good insight... As for single/couple/family profile - this is one of the last remaining big changes we work on right now, trying to create a "group" functionality, which could work for anything 1+.
theGhost
U ALL (myTEAM) are very welcome!
theGhost
Okay :) Just makes me smile :) ->

MOVING ON: ookie_RIA.zip / Just got done w/it basically it is SVN 10890 trunk (what VictorT released a week ago) w/ALL the changes as of 10949. This is what working with SVN can provide.

Simply put: It's almost daily updates til release. So if you want to follow BoonEx here is were they are at currently:

PRICING:

Well I have done alot of thinking about this...
-------------------------------------------------
Free - BoonEx logo and links must be displayed on your site.
$90 - 90 days link-free license for 1 domain.
$290 - 400 days (1year + 1 month) link-free license for 1 domain.
$790 - lifetime link-free license for 1 domain.
$2900 - SmartPro: lifetime link-free license for 5 domains, plus re-brandable Mobile Apps for up to 5 sites, plus 5 installations
-------------------------------------------------

I see more feel for Dolphin 6: codeNAME: Spunkie this PRICING is off.

I feel for Dolphin 7: codeNAME: Hookie this PRICING is perfect!
----------------------------------------

What is my single foundation:

Over 13 years ago I purchased my first COPY of MACROMEDIA FLASH at a nice pinch of $899. Today that pinch is more like $1200 for CS3,etc

Today for a nice pinch of $790, I would have far MORE FUN then I ever did w/MACROMEDIA HANDS down. I even acknowledge the fact that RAY is MACROMEDIA per say, but again that is my POINT...Only RAY is MACROMEDIA there is still a whole lot of FISH EVEN without FlashApps activated...

And OpenSocial w/OpenID... I'll PM you a couple of quotes I got on it :) LOL and people give you a 'hard-time' my Open Source TEAM.

YEP, Got me a pinch of about $800 donuts ready to get me some HOOKIE, word on the NET is... this FISH is GOODstuff: Boon Boon POW, kinda SCB FUN!

MEMBER MENU BAR:

1) I like how WE can float either 'top' or 'bottom'
2) Instead of STATIC can we ADD 'right' and 'left' vertical floating options ;)
3)Definately a Fan of this NOW. Love choices, Choices are good!
theGhost
Manage Languages:

Well confusing 'apply' but very slick :) Default tendency is 'enter' / 'return' BUT I believe that is connected to the 'save' option.?!
Looking and Feeling like a LANGUAGE master GUI
