Dolphin 7.0.7 Released! Better Mobile Apps, Access Control and More.
Dolphin 7.0.7 is ready for download with over 100 improvements, fixes and new features. Along with being a generally improved package it brings some substantial additions: support for 3rd-party mobile apps and Page Access Control.
Two More Weeks of Mobile Special
Dolphin 7.0.7 makes our Mobile Apps a lot more valuable and many current Dolphin license holders may want to consider getting a license for Mobile Apps rebranding. This license may only be purchased with Prime, but we decided to extend our Special for two more weeks and let anyone buy a Mobile License separately. We highly recommend taking advantage of the offer if you already have a Permanent license and don't need Prime, but still want the Mobile Apps license.
What's New in Dolphin 7.0.7
A geeky way to get a load of new features and fixes is to browse processed tickets. Otherwise, read on...
Mobile Apps Update and Mobile Builder
The new breed of BoonEx Mobile Apps now support integration of 3rd party Modules in the most elegant manner. Executed properly this implementation allows 3rd party modules look and feel like part of native application experience. In effect, users won't be able to tell the difference between native parts of the app and HTML-based UIs of 3rd-party modules. Just look at how we've integrated a sample "News" module:
This is not all! The real magic begins when you open up the new "Mobile Pages Builder" in your Dolphin site Admin Panel and start moving blocks for your apps. Add/remove/sort them and you'll see your changes seamlessly cause iPhone and Android apps on the phones of your site members change accordingly, without need to update, reinstall or even re-login! It just happens!
Page Access Control
This system has been around for some time as a commercial modules by AntonLV. We've purchased, integrated, updated and packed it in for you for free. Why? Put simply, because it brings control over your site to a whole new level.
Now you can control visibility of site components for all your custom membership levels. Thus you can mix and match your site settings and create all sorts of membership benefits combinations.
ZIP Code Search
Old support of ZIP codes used to be clunky and problematic, to say the least. One would have to go through all sorts of trouble finding ZIP databases, uploading it, debugging and rinse/repeat every time they need an update (which is often). Not anymore. Again, we've taken a commercial mod by kolimarfey, patted him on the back and added it to the bundle. New ZIP Code Search has an auto-updating support of ZIP-code services and basically keeps troubles at bay.
SMTP Mailer
Windows and sometimes other servers often have lots of issues with email processing... servers setup, marking as spam, etc. This nifty mod gives an opportunity to use any external SMTP server for your site needs. Again, hat tip goes to kolimarfey.
Server Audit Script
Ofttimes your hosting server is the root of all troubles, while it may well be a source of joy. Our Server Audit service is the way to get help with it, but it's only available with Enterprise licenses or for some $199. So, we've added a testing tool that runs a basic automated audit procedures and helps with DIY optimisation, free of charge.
Ready? Set! ...
Since this is a final, production version, you're good to go with updating your live sites. Upgrade script for those already in the club is ready and demo is being re-installed as we speak. All the general site download links are now updated and can be used. Good luck and stay tuned!
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
I'm going to install this on my AOLserver server. I don't know why.
Best wishes from Bulgaria: Bozhidar
Your zip code upgrade.
WOW!
the mobile apps is avalable only on prime package ???
It means that if you don't have a license that the BoonEx and Dolphin logo are on the app. If you have a license then your logo is on the apps :-)
This is life!
Wish you well :-)
well done :-)
I did upgrade 2 sites already and testing this smooth ride!
Well done :-)
It is really something if another goal is achieved!
I think we all can be happy and I'm sure its getting better by the day :-)
Great job thanks.
Need to test it.
one is database query error with profile map module as stated @ http://www.boonex.com/forums/#topic/D707-world-map-is-updating-for-long-time.htm.
and the other is sending mail from mass-mailer after smtp mailer installation:
The SMTP mailer does send the test email nicely. But at the massmailer there is the website title in the subject at the beginning saying Messege from "title".
http://www.boonex.com/forums/#topic/D707-smtp-mailer-sending-site-title-.htm
mbstring extension not installed. Warning! Dolphin cannot work without mbstring extension.
Please go to the
Dolphin Troubleshooter
and solve the problem.
I'll have to play with it & have some fun. Great job getting this out so quickly & even on time Boonex! 8 )
when i have 100s of mods, how will i know after upgrading to this release all the mods WILL WORK?
i must today reinstall some mods to find a bug. it was really hard. i think many people have this problem. better way is a report / or manuell upgrade instruction. i know its hard work but easier than to find little bugs.
anything good with Adobe Edge? in future...
ps: where can i post bugs? or pls check forum for the threads....
pps: your readme file in upgrade is not correct. i mean the hyperlinks to the threads. the most are dead-links!
Premium members can also post bugs and feature suggestions directly to Trac.
Will my current license valid for up gradation to 7.0.7
Enjoy!
One more thing can we go( upgrade ) from 7.0.2 to 7.07 in one shot or we have to go step by step ?
Here you find all :-)
