In reply to Lack of Support

mydatery•17th of December 2009

1. What pconnect module in Dolphin 6.1? I've been using Dolphin for awhile now and have never seen any type of support for a PConnect Module in dolphin. If you attempted to utilize the modules section of Dolphin to add PConnect, then that is an at your own risk issue, as a search would show you that in D6.1 Modules is considered an abandoned item and all add ons are done via hard-coding of the source files and not via the Modules section. Reason: Items like PConnect change/update/upgrade way see more to often to make it even remotely reasonable to consider providing support for thos.

2. There are over 1 Million downloads of Dolphin. How would you suggest that support for that be given? A Forum & Blog system have been instituted which have a great search functionality to them, a simple search would do a great job of showing you how these things work. A database error is not something all of us are going to jump all over. Only a few of us have an indepth knowledge of SQL & Dolphin DB's to be able to interpret your error and provide a solution, that fact that it's connected to PConnect makes it even more unlikely anywhere here has dealt with it.

3. Field Errors: A search would of saved you a lot of time on this. It's such a common thing that is asked so often that you should of had the answer within seconds of hitting the search button, filling out the requested fields and then clicking to do the search, all you had to do was read.

Now, I ask again what type of support would you like? If your ponying up $998 for the SmartPro license then Boonex will give you support via Skype no problem, just read the TOS. But that does not cover customizing your site, that is up to you to do or hire someone to do. And no other CMS is going to do that for you either, whether it's Joomla, ELGG, AbleDating, AEDating, PHPBB3, IPB, PConnect (if Pconnect did then you wouldn't be here complaining) and so on.

While those of us who participate in the community do welcome you with open arms and we're more than willing to provide you with help whereever we can, keep in mind that we are not getting paid for this so to even remotely identify us as if we owe it to you is a tad on the rude side, it actually sounds more like a sense of entitlement than anything.

Suggest you take the time to do a search before you post a question, as many will ignore questions that are asked repeatedly and it will get you a quicker solution to your problem. Use a polite (not brownnosing tone) when asking for help and remember to thank those who help you. Finally, if your not familiar with php/sql code then that is a good thing. Don't get overly frustrated in it, take a little time to experiment with the files and you'll learn how it all works incredibly fast.

First off...am not giving up a grand until I am sure it is a good investment. Would you give up a grand in this economy without making sure that something suits your needs. Typically that means trying before buying. Secondly I did search and did not find any similar problems. I am slightly familiar with PHP but am quite familiar with the SQL structure (having used it in GIS applications for the last 7 years). Thirdly I do not use Skype. That is what my smartphone and global service is for. Field see more

1. Would I put up a grand in this economy? ROFLMAO. Tell ya what Mr.7 Years in the business you figure that one out. I'll give you a hint. I own a company that specializes in the Commercial aspects of Dolphin. This company was opened and initially funded out of my own pocket. I don't know if I'd put up a grand. All I know is I put up over $300K in costs to get Dolphin to be what clients wanted (that's real estate lease, building network wiring, payroll and so on. Granted, that's not a whole see more
