In reply to Dolphin 7.2 Development Progress Update

launch3•5th of May 2015

Two constructive fixes:

1 - when members share links with their friends on social networks, websites or via email - visitors (non-members) get the dreaded, unchangeable "access denied" or "access is forbidden" pages. Each module has it's own lang file for this too making it worse. Please fix to allow a single, customizable page where I can add persuasive ad copy like "hey, to see this great video, photo or article - join fast & free today!". Converting non-members see more

Two more fixes, related to searching:

3 - the 'Search' functionality is awful at returning relevant results. In addition to updating this to make it useful again, please include a Search Results page to allow customization in Page Builder. I'd like to be able to include ads/banners/links around the organic results.

4 - Google Site Search mod is outdated. It does not function with the many new standards and features of Google. For instance, I cannot incorporate 'Adsense For Search' custom search see more

What prevents to make their Google search page with Adsense? It took me 10 minutes of time.

1. We have different approach in Trident, which is similar to what you suggested - there is more informative message about action which can't be performed. At some stage we maybe merge these change into 7.x branch.

2. Thank you, we will consider this.

3. Search is more flexible in Trident, at some stage we maybe merge these change into 7.x branch.

4. The fix is coming - http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/3345

Thanks for the responses Andrew & Alex! My members biggest beef is the lack of ability to conveniently share and embed content (videos, images, etc...) from THEIR favorite websites (fix #2 above). Dolphin is, after all, a social network / community. It's all about sharing these days! For instance, I have quite a few experts in my niches who I got to join my sites for the purpose of sharing/embedding their best website content onto mine and interacting with members without having to leave my site see more
