== '''''I need to transfer my site to another folder on my server. What do I need to do?''''' ==

1) First of all, you need to move the whole structure of the Dolphin installation directory to the folder you like. You can use the "move" command in your FTP client or run this command

{{{
cd DOLPHIN_FOLDER
mv * DESTINATION_FOLDER
}}}

in your SSH account, where ''DOLPHIN_FOLDER'' is the folder where Dolphin is installed and ''DESTINATION_FOLDER'' is the folder where it needs to be placed.

2) Then you need to edit the paths in the file '''inc/header.inc.php''': change the values of the following variables according to your current settings:
                  
{{{$site['url']}}} and {{{$dir['root']}}}[[BR]][[BR]]
   
3) Then change the path to dolphin directory in your crons. You can do that in your host's control panel account (for example, CPanel or Plesk) or in your SSH client by running this command:
   
{{{
crontab -e
}}}

4) And the last step is to clean '''/cache/''' and '''/cache_public/''' folders.

== '''''How can I change the time zone in Dolphin?''''' ==

You may know that all actions in Dolphin have their date/time specifications, such as Spy events, Blog and Forum posts, Chat messages, etc. All these events are stored in a MySQL database which by default uses the server time zone for them. But your web server may be located in a different country, so it may be necessary to adjust Dolphin time according to your (admin) location.

You will also need to change the default time zone for PHP so it could correspond to MySQL time zone. So here's how you can do it:[[BR]][[BR]][[BR]]

'''For PHP'''

Edit the file {{{inc/header.inc.php}}}.[[BR]]
Input this line:
{{{
date_default_timezone_set( timezone_identifier );
}}}
after
{{{
mb_regex_encoding('UTF-8');
}}}

There are a plenty of ''timezone_identifiers'', but to make it simple, I will show only those that use GMT offsets.

It's strange but it's true that PHP uses these offsets in a different way: a negative offset becomes positive and on the contrary.

For example, if you live in the ''US/Central'' time zone, your GMT offset is supposed to be "-6", but you need to specify '''"Etc/GMT+6"''' as the '''''timezone_identifier''''', and if you live in ''!Europe/Berlin'' timezone, your GMT offset is supposed to be "+1" but you need to specify '''"Etc/GMT-1"'''. Those who live in ''London'', should specify '''"Etc/GMT"''' ('''please mind the quotation marks''').

Those who live in time zones with fractional GMT offsets, will need to use their areas timezones in this format: '''"!Asia/Rangoon"''', '''"!Australia/Adelaide"''', etc.

The list of supported time zones can be found [http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php here].[[BR]][[BR]][[BR]]

'''For MySQL'''

You will need to change the time zone offsets in 3 files: for Dolphin itself, for Orca and for Ray.

The ''offset'' parameter should specify your time zone offset in comparison to GMT time, for example: +6:00, -7:30. And these offsets are already the ones we got used to.

Here are these files:[[BR]]
1) For Dolphin:[[BR]]
edit {{{/inc/classes/BxDolDb.php}}}[[BR]]
find the line:
{{{
mysql_query("SET sql_mode = ''", $this->link);
}}}
and put this line right after it:
{{{
mysql_query("SET @@local.time_zone='offset';", $this->link);
}}}
2) For Ray:[[BR]]
edit {{{flash/modules/global/inc/db.inc.php}}}
and put this line
{{{
mysql_query("SET @@local.time_zone='offset';", $this->rLink);
}}}
after
{{{
mysql_query("SET @@local.connect_timeout=9000;", $this->rLink);
}}}
3) For Orca:[[BR]]
edit {{{modules/boonex/forum/classes/BxDb.php}}}
and put this line
{{{
mysql_query("SET @@local.time_zone='offset';", $this->link);
}}}
after
{{{
mysql_query ("SET NAMES 'utf8'", $this->link);
}}}

Then you need to recompile Orca languages in {{{Admin Dashboard -> Modules -> Orca Forum -> Manage Forum}}} and also clear the site cache in {{{Admin Dashboard -> Quick Overview -> Clear Cache}}}

This is it. Now the time on all pages and in all widgets should correspond to admin's local time.

== '''''How can I change admin username and/or password if I forgot it?''''' ==

If you forgot your admin access or somehow can't access your admin account, you can create a new admin account or change the password of the existing account if you remember its name ('''''admin''''' by default).

'''1)''' Log into your '''phpMyAdmin''' page (should be accessible in Cpanel or Plesk).

'''2)''' Choose the database where Dolphin is installed.

'''3)''' Click the "SQL" tab at the top.

'''4)''' Enter one of these queries:

   '''a)''' For admin account creation:
{{{
INSERT INTO `Profiles` SET `NickName`='ADMIN_NICK', `Status`='Active', `Role`='3';
UPDATE `Profiles` SET `Salt` = 'SALT_SEQUENCE' WHERE ID = last_insert_id();
UPDATE `Profiles` SET `Password` = SHA1(CONCAT(MD5('ADMIN_PASSWORD'), `Salt`)) WHERE ID = last_insert_id();

}}}
   '''Note''': '''ADMIN_NICK''' should be replaced with the desired admin account name, '''ADMIN_PASSWORD''' should be replaced with the desired password, '''SALT_SEQUENCE''' should be replaced with any sequence of alphanumeric characters)

   '''b)''' For admin password change:
{{{
UPDATE `Profiles` SET `Salt` = 'SALT_SEQUENCE' WHERE `NickName`='ADMIN_NICK';
UPDATE `Profiles` SET `Password` = SHA1(CONCAT(MD5('ADMIN_PASSWORD'), `Salt`)), `Role` = '3' WHERE `NickName`='ADMIN_NICK';
UPDATE `Profiles` SET `Role` = '3' WHERE `NickName`='ADMIN_NICK';

}}}
   '''Note''': '''ADMIN_NICK''' should be replaced with the desired admin account name, '''ADMIN_PASSWORD''' should be replaced with the desired password, '''SALT_SEQUENCE''' should be replaced with any sequence of alphanumeric characters)

'''5)''' Clear the cache in your admin account or clear the contents of the folders '''''cache''''' and '''''cache_public''''' (except for the '''''.htaccess''''' file) through FTP.
