The Achilles heel for Dolphin 7 is Privacy..
Private folders, everything inside, locked if user wants that, and he can grant access to public only if flagged public.. if the photo/video/audio file is flagged as private then allow access only to a selected group of users or individual users selected one by one.. simple and most of all secure..
--
How privacy settings should be:
--
Types of groups: Registered users, Friends, Custom Group with users chosen by the member.

Advanced privacy settings see more - A MUST!

P.S. Now I wish I was a genius to try to convince people more easily about the importance of this thing called p-r-i-v-a-c-y.. I really don't mind if December will be the date of the release, just fix this big error before is not too late.. I will not post anything more about privacy, I already said enough and I'm tired with this..

I don't want to sound like a jerk, but I must say that I will think twice if I will go with Dolphin considering the unbelievable lack of privacy control.. I really don't want to hear a thousand complaints once the site is up..
Too bad that the boonex team doesn't take this serious.. I mean are we the only ones (me, houston, michel and sammie) who considers that privacy is the most important thing in the whole script? but in dolphin 7 so far is a mess?

It is a mess. It's a mess because Boonex is mistakenly trying to keep all the shared media intact while introducing member albums and privacy controls. Shared media has to go.. period. It's the only way the whole privacy concept is going to gel. It should be a fairly easy matter to convert all existing shared photos and media on existing sites to an album system. All of the ownership info for the pool of images in the 6.1.4 sharingImages directory is stored in a database table, so it should see more be fairly easy to write an upgrade script to rearrange al of those photos into new directories that belong to individual members..... POOF!..... no more shared inages.

Without privacy there should be no boonex. Privacy most important, should have been the key thing for tis new version.

I am in complete agreement. I will take it a step further though. Not only should members have privacy controls over each and every thing posted....but admin should too.

Depending on what type of site we build, admin needs complete control as well. There are dating sites, community sites, dating/community sites, etc...

If I (as admin) want to make a photo folder public...and another folder set as private for each one of my members...I should be able to do that. I should (as Admin) also have see more the ability to control what material my members can mark as private.

In short....members should be able to mark everything individually as private......but admin should as well. Some of us (admins) may never need to enable private material....but we should at least have the ability to do so.
