Thank at lot !

7.1.3 when a final version?

What do we want?  7.1.3 Final.  When do we want it?  Now, LOL  Dolphin users are not a patient bunch of folks LOL.

Yes I know .. LOL

I don't know why anyone would want a Final, that would mean all development / fixing has stopped, and that would not be a good thing in my opinion. Sure less fixes, but it seems with PHP there are always some minor adjustments that need made over time.

+Upload button is not working for photos, videos and sounds.  All the permission are set correctly.  the ffmpeg is set correctly.  I can go to my profile photo album and click the 'add photo' URL link and upload photos via flash or regular just fine.  The '+Upload' button just doesn't work.  Click on it and nothing.  

I also uploaded photos with the Boonex Android Mobile app and the photos uploaded fine.

Does this have anything to do with 7.1.3 beta?

@aeustudios

Please could provide more info:

What is your browser type and version ?

Did you test on the official demo (http://www.demozzz.com/dolphin713b/) or own setup ?

I've tested on IE, Firefox, Safari and Chrome.  The official 7.1.3 Beta site works fine.  Mine is the problem.  The problem is that all the settings show as OK.  I cannot find anything wrong with any of the settings.

It is not related to 7.1.3 Beta - http://www.boonex.com/forums/topic/-Upload-button-not-working-for-Video-Sound-Photo.htm#209170

In Dolphin 7.1.3 Beta, I keep getting the error message below

[04-Jun-2013 15:19:12] PHP Warning: htmlspecialchars() [<a href='function.htmlspecialchars'>function.htmlspecialchars</a>]: Invalid multibyte sequence in argument in /home/evamodco/public_html/inc/utils.inc.php on line 273.

 Please could you describe in details how to reproduce this problem ?

Are you using an older version of php by chance ?

 PHP: 5.2.17 is installed

Dolphin 7.1.3 Beta installed, (1 member admin) added the following modules, photos, sounds, videos, timeline, avatar and HTML5 Audio/Video Player, uploaded 1 photo, 1 sound (no non latin text or symbols) and 1 embed video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi4jNNmk3Y4), error below generated every 2 hours in error log in root.

Connect forum posts is spinning and will not connect in IE Explore 10.0.9200
Everything works ok in Mozilla and Chrome.

 Can't reproduce, it maybe some problem with your local installation.

Can't reproduce on 5.3.x versions, please could you try to upload mentioned files one by one to find the file which cause the problem ? then please provide this file.

No complaints so far.

One big thanks for this!!!

Videos: Generate Thumbnail Further into Video

 I think this maybe the problem.  I am going to install 5.2.17 on one of my servers and see if i get the same results.

Would it be possible for you to compile a newer version in the 5.3.x range ?

If you can't upgrade then can you try to change line 273 from

return htmlspecialchars($string, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');

to 

return htmlspecialchars($string, ENT_COMPAT, 'ISO-8859-1');

This could make things worse for you so keep that in mind as well....   

Hi, what does the new fix below actually do?

• Allow to remove NickName from join form

Thanks

You used to be able to edit your profile name and there was no way to block this action...   now you can block this action from members so they can not change there nickname..

 ah, thanks jay ;)

From D713 it is possible to remove NickName from join form, then NickName will be automatically generated form FirstName, or just random string.

 When you say nickname will be generated from "random string" what does this mean?

And also, when you remove nickname and user types for example Tom Smith into FirstName and LastName will user appear as Tom Smith in messages/notifications etc?

Dolphin still needs a username to work - so the compromise is to be able to remove/hide the field, but a username is still created for the modules/features that don't work well with IDs (namely the forums).  I haven't seen the code in a while, but I think the random string is based on the entered name, and then some random bits at the end.

I dont really use forums haha, so ill this practically remove usernames from the site but dolphin will create a username from the FirstName field?

Lack of knowing exactly what it does, i removed the nick name from my join form to try it. This is what happened.

If nickname is not already in use on system, nick name will be the first name.

If nickname is already in use then it will be First name + date of birth.  Ex.. firstname-yyyy-mm-dd

 Hi Deano, where does this actually display when username is in use? 

Username will show up where full name has not been implemented. That i do not know. The URL is one i know of, and email templates, forums. Not sure of other locations. Use of just real names has not been implemented everywhere in dolphin yet. It's a new feature. Previous versions of dolphin were all nickname only.

ah right, boonex would be much better with no usernames "Hint" haha 

and thanks deano

 Get's my vote!

Please could you (or somebody else) specify exact places where username is used directly (except urls) instead of "full name" (which depends on admin setting), so we can correct this in future versions.

 Any chance this would be part of 7.1.4?

Regarding hardcoded usernames - if we get clear reports and will be able to reproduce it, then we will fix it, most probably in 7.1.4, I suppose it will not cause any big/structural changes.

 Hi Alex,

Notifications of messages. Sending messages, Admin 'Members' Display, Sign up and login (u can remove this box but it would be better if it was fully removed)

And every little thing like that... i will update the list when i find out fully what its appearing on.

I mean in the database - the forums associate content by username and not ID.  When I changed my username on here, you had to update all my posts (and license) to use the new username (still appreciate that!).

No it would not be better. Only a small percentage of sites run with real names. Removing it completely is like taking the nickname feature away. I want nicknames, not real names.

Dolphin should and does default to most common usage. Real Names is not common usage.

Ok then if you don't want nicknames removed, we could at least remove nicknames in admin panel ''members" and notifications?

Boonex is working on making it a option.

I am talking about full removal which i will not accept and i don't think boonex will go that far anyway.

Boonex should add an option to either use usernames/nicknames or an option to turn it off altogether

I wasn't clear about nicknames, so you didn't understand me right. 

We can't remove usernames/nicknames and they are still used heavily! 

What we did is - we added a setting option to allow to show other user's info as primary user's info, for example First and Last name. This this alternative info can be anything and isn't uniq. The inique username is still required for different things, for example you still can see it in urls or other places. 

However it looks like in emails universal user title should be used, instead of direct usage of username field:

http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/3232

So when you remove the username field, what actually happens as I really only want the network to be first name and last name? Thanks 

When the username field is removed, a random username is created by Dolphin based on the user's first and last name. Dolphin still uses usernames to some extent, and the script hasn't been designed to completely remove the feature.

You can set Dolphin to display first name, last name, or both instead of the username from Administration -> Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Profiles.

Edit: Deano corrected me, it's first name, and then first name + birth date otherwise.

so if i was to remove it and somebody entered in First and Last name John GoDaddy the username would be johngodaddy?

Actually i did what you could also easily do as well. Just drag the field off the join form into the inactive area and signup. See for yourself exactly what it does.

I already did this and had posted my results several posts back. I guess everyone missed it. Here it is.
