Is it okay if i test 7.1

Hello all,

I downloaded the 7.1 from the SVN and installed it on my localhost. So, is it fine if i play with it on my localhost. I am not breaking any laws right? If yes i can remove it.

btw i love it. Its stunning. Awesome job Boonex  

Nice improvement. Its quite fast and page speed score of 65 from 44 i guess. Second time. I love it.

The code is on a public SVN repo.  If BoonEx wanted to keep it to themselves, they wouldn't have it out in the open.

 Nice 

It is much better looking.

Prashank, did your username show up in "Russian?"

Instead of my name in English as default, it's "Я думаю, что"

 yup, its showing in russian. :)

 Я есть admin 

Check out the sitemap feature, finally!

 yup, looks good and the bottom menu manager is a needed thing.

The new version is very optimized. They added header cache option for images. It scores 94 in page speed. Isn't it amazing for our dolphin. No more complains for slow dolphin.

Yes, liking it a lot!

For the curious and those that don't want to install right away..

http://mynewbeetle.net/7.1/index.php

 thanks for creating a preview, i was thinking about it :)

They way it uploads media is a MAJOR improvement guys!!

This is fantastic!

[edit] It's a real "Christmas in July" for me.. lol

The new features are crazy!

 lol exact same feeling...:)

A working TIMELINE.

Sorry to gloat, this is just such an improvement!!

Well done Boonex!!

I will faint with excitement..lol 

I have enable the Facebook connect, it also works PERFECT!

Setting to the module to redirect to "avatar" page after join, my FB avatar actually came over!

ouch,

not sure what I did, it's gone...

I think you deleted 7.1 directory lol

I was going to say Newton's didn't look much different from 7.0.9 lol. 

Here's another sandbox to get a sneak peak:

http://sevenone.d7tuts.com/

 I did, its back.. oh well. lol

Dolphin 7.1 is looking very promising. Definitely a nice temporary version to use until 8 comes out. I am about to install it on one of my test bed servers.

 nothing new for me the 7.1 vanilla install...is still slower then my modified 7.9

 I would definitely look into your host configuration then - I have a brand new VPS with zero php ini configurations made (values are at or below minimum recommended). 7.1 is running incredibly fast compared to 7.9 on an optimized server.

no need to its running at peak performance, just saying not to impressed with what they got so far for 7.1

Were you guys missing files after downloading and trying to install and setup file permissions? Folders under media were not there....HTMLPurifier is missing some files....

Resolution? Can I copy the missing files over from my 7.0.9 install?

 My procedure was to take a fresh 7.0.9 extraction and copy/replace the 7.1 files into it. This alleviated all missing files issues for me, and saves a lot of trouble pulling one file at a time from 7.0.9 into 7.1. 

Yeah...its not missing much...just the apps and HTMLPurifier files. I elected the other way. Its working now.

I created the missing directories and had to apply permissions.

I'm not saying it take the cake, but so far, it's almost like a totally different program from looking at the improvements.

 Ok. I really like the look and usability of 7.1.

Questions that need to be answered if I'm not going to abandon Dolphin.

• When can we expect a beta of this?
• How much focus will be given to it's development over the other projects (like 8) or previous projects (like 6)
• Will version upgrades still create havoc with site fixes that were required and mod installations or will we still have to spend weeks fixing our sites each time we upgrade?
• How much has been done to circumvent all the problems that were initially in the previous releases?
• Is 7.1 it or will there be 7.11 and 7.12 and 7.13?
• Is there plans for a 7.2 or is this the final version of 7?

I like Dolphin. If I didn't, I would not have stayed so long but you guys make it hard even for the believers to continue to follow your erratic and sometimes pointless path.

With more than ten years worth of information on my chosen topic, I have what I need to put it all in place and become the number one towing and recovery forum in the world. So far, I have not been able to get a satisfactory platform to do that because of endless issues and bugs. In fact, one could say I have lost faith that this will ever result in a finished product. Can I expect 7.1 to finally be that platform?

I've been studying my Joomla lately.

@SkyForum

• I have no idea about the beta or how many more changes they gonna do in 7.1 but expect a beta few weeks away.
• Looks like currently they are working more on 7.1.
• As everytime updates will come and few files have to be replaced and if you have modified it you have to do your changes again. I think its a feature upgrade not a service upgrade. So, its shouldn't be necessary to upgrade to 7.1 but i don't know what bugs or security fixes are done.
• Have to check timeline. lol
• Yes i am 90% sure more updates will come. There is always room for improvements.
• As i said before. 7.1 is final.

I have created another 7.1 site lol

http://d71.modmydolphin.com/

so its 3 sites now

It looks better, whats the admin like, same or any difference?

 noticed a glitch, not sure if its your install, or script...

on timeline, I can post text direct,but if I try to post a photo direct to timeline, it doesnt work.

It will add photos to timeline that I add elsewhere though, just not by direct post.

same with video and sound.

 Joined for testing. 

Added a website to 'sites' which all works fine. 

Noticed all the sites thumbnails though are broken???

The admin section is fine and seems to be working. Looks the same to me as it does in 7.0.9. I am trying to get  rid of the box that has the Home link in it. The box I am referring to sits above the bottom menu about us privacy terms of use bookmarks...etc.

This could be a licensing thing as I am just using a free license for this test site...not my paid license.

Other than that, its looking pretty good so far...definitely seems to be much faster. I have both of my dolphin sites on my same server so I can do a comparison and I am much happier with the speed thus far.

@Daihlo...I haven't come across the issues you mentioned as of yet, but will see if I can duplicate them.

The one thing I do notice is that the russian translations and adding of characters. Also...if you view the blogs page...at the top it says {Profile-Nick} instead of user name in a few places.

Much work to be done but definitely making progress.

"Я есть" = "I am"

Я есть newton27

 I'm almost sure that was done to keep us from using the demo live.

It's not a bug.

Also...if you view the blogs page...at the top it says {Profile-Nick} instead of user name in a few places.I cannot duplicate that one..

I do have duplication of the Profile, Account, Logout menu top right..

I have attached the profile-nick issue. Not worried about it but just pointing it out in case there is a bug. Have a look.

I am currently working on the Я есть issue. I see that it doesn't reside in the database but there is a I am and I am a entry in the database. My guess is that the code is translating it somewhere and the injecting it in to display Я есть Username.

To be continued....

hahaha sometimes things are lot simpler in dolphin.

take a look at templates/base/script/BxBaseFunction.php

getUserTitle and getUserInfo functions..:)

Good luck

You are too quick Prashank25. Thanks! Working like a champ now.

 You're welcome. Enjoy 7.1

The 7.1 download from trac, is missing a lot of files.  If you download from the svn repository, you'll get all the files.   The attached BxBaseFunctions.php has the Russian artifacts removed.

The download from svn, has one problem I noticed, in that the install sql for the events module is AFU.  Replacing it with 7.0.9 sql seems to work OK.

I'm not sure what all the excitement is about.  So far, 7.1 kinda reminds me of that old saying, "Let's put some lipstick on this pig, and try to sell it".  It's a major template change, and a few refinements, but when all the smoke clears, you'll be left with many of the same nagging issues you've always had.   You still won't be able to skin the flash apps, the ugly blue padlock issue won't be resolved (might have some lipstick on it), A/V chat still won't have flood control and a lot of other features.  All the custom templates you purchased will be useless, and don't expect any of the vendors to give you a free template that is updated to 7.1.

There's some improvement here, but nothing to excite me to the point of peeing my pants.

sei mitico prashank

 guys take it from someone who knows what they are talking about, i couldn't agree more on your statment.

 I changed up the colors and text, getting ready for the release I will know what to change.

Being color blind to certain shades of color does not make that easy..

It's really encouraging to see that many people like it.

As for "lipstick on a pig..." - well you'd notice that lots of work gone into improved layout and design, no so much into new functionality. This, however, isn't just a lipstick - some use-cases have improved a lot thanks to the tweaks and the whole platform has become significantly more usable. As an example - just a simple case of establishing a "friends" connection now works so much better - buttons appears where they should and as they should. Also the Timeline, Account and Mailbox - being features that basically form the core of social networking system they have improved dramatically and that will definitely please site members a lot more than a few new features. Still, there's a lot to do, and with this release, more than anything, we wanted to show that we are very committed to continued development of Dolphin 7, desperate upcoming release of Dolphin 8. They will co-exist for many years ahead.

The "Я есть " thing is a just a temporary plug that we used to test spaces in usernames (to allow Full Names as usernames) and apparently you could the build with it. You're most welcome to play with development builds, but don't' be alarmed when you see some bits in a semi-ripped condition. 

• When can we expect a beta of this?

• How much focus will be given to it's development over the other projects (like 8) or previous projects (like 6)

• Will version upgrades still create havoc with site fixes that were required and mod installations or will we still have to spend weeks fixing our sites each time we upgrade?

• How much has been done to circumvent all the problems that were initially in the previous releases?

• Is 7.1 it or will there be 7.11 and 7.12 and 7.13?

• Is there plans for a 7.2 or is this the final version of 7?

Definitely 7.2 (even if HL's patiently runs off before then, we still hope to make his dream come true [padlocks  + flood control ;) ]) will happen. We're keeping D7 alive.

Again, thank you for heads up! Love you, guys!

(special thanks to HL for continued perseverance in regards to the gravest of the issues, despite of our seemingly absolute lack of care about them )

HA!  Got his attention.

Now.. Let's run this baby up a flag pole and see who salutes it!

 lol this is getting funny.

hl is the voice of truth with no filter

I am passionate about reading his comments, is one of the few that puts a bit of spice to the forum and also makes interesting the various important points.

 Grazie, Lei e molto gentile!

 is my truth huston

As an example - just a simple case of establishing a "friends" connection now works so much better - buttons appears where they should and as they should. Also the Timeline, Account and Mailbox - being features that basically form the core of social networking system they have improved dramatically and that will definitely please site members a lot more than a few new features.That part is very true, all the demo members quickly befriended each other right off, no digging for request!

Simple changes; major improvements for site users.

Here's a thought and I have spoken of this before.

For a lot of site models, being forced to 'friend' everyone SUCKS!

One of the best things you could do it=s give us the capability to turn off the 'friends' mod completely and leave us to control content the old fashioned way, with permissions.

my members be asking for a way to make their full profile private, i was hoping 7.1 would have something like that

 It does.. go to demo site your account, select your "Account," then edit, look top right.

Drop down selection for who see your account.

 you know this option was included in 7.08 if not 7.07 ?..

I think by 'Full Profile', they probably mean all their content as well, which means they have to set the privacy for every single module on the account > privacy settings.  I don't have all the modules installed, and I have 33 selector lists on that page.  Add in the basic profile privacy, and all those stupid key on page blocks, and it no wonder why people might get confused. 

There's a lot of room for improvement

I guess I should have set the demo up on my home server....

My VPS is being tasked a bit from all the curious browsers..

I get up today and my server resources  

load average:   31.42, 47.32, 30.47

So if you get database errors and slow site speed, come back later.. lol

I have to say the most favorite and liked improvement to me, the "Timeline."

i think you should restart your linux box ... linux got problems with the leap seconds ...

Beating Andrew to the punch...

Pulled the most recent trac updates, it appears the dashboard got a sek-z makeover:

ah! yum yum. I will update it soon..:)

Yeah, the new design on the admin side needs some work.  The icons look like they were taken off a white background with the magic wand tool.

The images aren't badly magic'ed, they're just huge:

 retina display support?

That was my guess.  Looks like crap on a desktop.

Those icons aren't the final set. We do think about retina support, but this isn't it yet - what you see is a quick save of blown-up fontawesome text icons. 

And overnight we have an easier on the eye admin panel.

OMG super dolphin coming :-D 

I really like this new design fresh and clean

nice, but do you can browse the pages?

I receive the error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function check() on a non-object in /home/mynewbee/public_html/7.1/inc/classes/BxDolTwigModule.php on line 979

 i am getting this from yesterday. Where are you newton27

Has anyone tested any themes? Or has anyone developed any themes for it yet?

I'm guessing all the 7.0.9 themes are doomed to failed?

I tried using my faceslook one by derartmedia and ended up with a blank page. And since he banned now I guess there's no hope in getting a 7.1 version :(

I'm assuming that all current 3rd-party templates will be rendered obsolete with the coming of 7.1 

On my current project, I've made so many changes to D 7.0.9 core code, fixing and customizing, that I'm not going to invest any time trying to upgrade to D7.1 

It would be nice if some of the more important fixes & upgrades found in D7.1 were made available to those sticking with D7.0.9

 Yes for some reason, when trying to visit index directly, some are getting that error.

to see the page with out the error, http://mynewbeetle.net/7.1/browse.php

I have another fresh demo running today's trunk, 7/18/2012 http://duvallocals.info/7.1/

 The facebook module is very iffy, of course it always has been.

I was able to import my Facebook events as before so that is a good thing as that was all I used it for.

During the day, when Facebook it active is when it has problems, middle of the night I can get in.

Great to find small changes that make D look so much more professional!!!

The changes just keep coming..

This is not on the older demo site "mynewbeetle.net"

it is here now http://duvallocals.info/7.1/

I have installed 7.1.0

I will be starting to test all of my modules soon. This time i intend to make sure they are all 7.1 compatable before 7.1 is released.

With the exception of the templates which i think i may have to start over on. Not sure how bad that will be yet.

 Your Tools module works great so far.

me not able to view profiles as a guest :( blank page

For me the tools failed to install. Could not insert the admin menu item.

Have you tried installing the tools on the latest SVN of 7.1 since they changed the admin section around?

Found the problem there. Boonex changed the admin menu item that was named "extensions" to "modules" So any module that looks things up by the name will fail to install. Several of my modules do this, so i will need to fix them all.

And with the changes in the admin panal design, i now have some cosmetic problems to fix as well.

Ok, looks like i am going to be busy.

 I tried the Tools.

Installation of: Deanos Tools Failed

INSERT INTO `sys_menu_admin`****

As i thought.

I have over 15 modules i have to fix due to that change. At least that one is easy.

But they have also changed CSS for text input boxes which is going to create a lot of problems for me as well.

Arggg.

@Deano - damn, at least your in here right now. I guess other creators are testing on there own perhaps without input from us.

Your going to be somewhat ready for the release. 

I can see a need arising for the mod pages in the market to support multiple downloads for different product versions, ie, 7.0.9... 7.1.

 they can put many versions module in a single zip.

I know I didn't do a template, but I did change colors on the DEMO at 

http://mynewbeetle.net/7.1/index.php

I'm not a designer, I don't mix colors well.

The reason for the posting is to show that it is easy to change colors and different background colors.

Now as far as the actual way the page is laid out I'm clueless.

I think I'm going to call the template police

hahahahaahaahaahahaahahahahahahahh

Easy on the "Submit" button.

I agree, that template is bad.

I'm not a designer, I don't mix colors well.Geez, I'm also color blind.

The point was to show simple changes can be made.

But as usual.

I also posted this to get away from the boring topics of here late.

Everyone has there own taste as well.

Got to do something, I have a feeling templates are not going to be free, or anything I want to buy.

To be fair, this is like zombie Steve Jobs showcasing color themes with an iPaq and choosing a hideous light-blue theme for his demonstration.

I'd call the template "Myspace---The early years"

I'm just exxxxxxtremly bored...

will the layout of the top be easy to change around?

I think I'm going to read the tutorials that are with my Dreamweaver about how CSS is done.

I just have not had a reason to understand much of it, just how to change fonts and their sizes.

I just hate that blue cardboard background, I need contrast to see well.

Thanks, that has helped to get a better grasp on it.

 this is an interesting concept, one which i considered to be true on any public forum post eh>

can someone post the download link i cant find it :)

new install of dolphin 7.1 with update at ultimate changeset 16579 of today on the test site http://test.woodpub.it

insert all the new Changeset and new Alternative template was added on dolphin 7.1 Changeset 16580 on the test site http://test.woodpub.it

This is the new additional template was released in the new changset for the dolphin 7.1

How can I update the admin section? I tried copying the files and replacing existing files but that didn't work. I try recompiling language files, clearing caches...

Any idea?

Thanks

I think it's better to just do a fresh install if yer gonna test. Don't try and overwrite .09. The folders that are missing you can just create during the install process. It'll work good enough for testing.

I do want to thank the Boonex team for one small thing.

I CAN DELETE AN HTML BLOCK NOW! WOOHOO!

Such a small thing but makes me feel like someone actually listened ... for a sec.

I like the cleaner look. Don't know if I can handle that Russian symbol next to my profile name though (lol)

 Reading the notes section will keep you updated on the release. Looks like it might be the end of the month or next.

http://www.boonex.com/n/the-lost-and-found-caches-controls-in-dolphin-7

For now, we plan just a couple more things in Admin panel and a few minor improvements in User part, and we should be able to proceed to beta testing. This time we don't plan to release any "Alpha" versions (technically, you can just grab them from SVN), so expect Betas with interim upgrade packs.

 If you used the SVN, navigate to your 7.1 folder in SSH and use "SVN update" this will update your current version.

Keep in mind the install folder will be re-installed and will need to be removed.

I may not be doing it completely right, but it's what I've done for the past week.

 you not updating DB if there are any

 you not updating DB if there are any

Please elaborate more..

Thank you Newton27, i just had a look at your NewBeetle website and also the one made by Giovanni, but i am still puzzled by this "timeline", there is any ways to have it as the main page in Dolphin?

Right now i had the impression that looks as a function that a user need to specifically go and dig for it, i had difficulties locating it even if i was specifically looking for it, so i can't imagine how a random user just passing by could possibly end up there....

Thanks again

 Timeline. Similar to the facebook timeline. It's a profile thing, and shows up on peoples profile page.

Deano,

Your 7.1 tools module; this will allow the timeline to be moved to the index page?

Then marked as member view only, should be all we need.

 ^ This would be awesome.

This would be really "FaceBook" ... 

...but with all the added modules which FB won't give you.

What i would like to achieve, rather then a timeline restricted to people browsing a specific member's profile, is a main page, where everybody can post whatever they like (even non-members), and see all that stuff(pics,videos, status updates, rants, whatever else) in a timeline's manner.

 You are speaking about what I was intending, I see a lot of potential in the ability to show an active site feed on the main page, in timeline format. Spy just does not cut it. 

I also see the value in keeping a private feed within the member's profile too, a way they can stay in touch with their closest friend's happenings (but sadly, this is the facebook). 

The timeline on your site would only reflect what your friends are doing as a regular member. You will not see "all" site activity.

That is still in the spy.

I just updated my demo too.

Ohh dear, that would be really disappointing if there is no way to make this homepage a bit more of a socialite...

Ok, i'll see if i can make it happen somehow, maybe by using another cms for the wall and keeping Dolphin for the rest.

I already made something similar by removing the default forum and creating a page for a forum from another brand, but what people around here really really want (as the Spice's Girls used to say), it's an OPEN page where they can stick on it all the things they want, without too many strings.

I hope it will be possible at some point, maybe we should all really wait for Dolphin 12 ?

Whats anyones verdict so far on 7.1, considering its pre-release version and all that.

Here's the code from the timeline block:

return BxDolService::call('wall', 'view_block_account', array($this->iMember));

hmmm.....

i think boonex should remove the word "wall" and change it to "timeline", complete rename would be better.

I just deleted the db and reinstalled. It is working now. Now that I see the new admin section, I think I rather the old one....however, just like anything else, I think it will grow on us.

Thanks

Hello to all,

I am testing Dolphin 7.1 on my hosting and if I use IE8 on Windows XP SP3 I can not see the icon fonts (compatibility mode is set to OFF). But if I use any other browser like Chrome or Firefox I have no problem. Has anyone encountered the same problem with IE8?

AlexT told me he could not reproduce the issue, so I would like to understand if it is a problem of my pc or someone else had the same problem with IE8.

Wonder how long it would take for one of the Boonex coders to add pagination to these forums?? Some of these threads get a little rediculous...

 same here

It's part of the new Metro-styled interface BoonEx is experimenting with.

 yup, and i don't like it how about you?.

 I am not interested in viewing what others are doing on the site, what i was meaning, is a wall page where everybody can post messages/pics and whoever is looking at that page can see it too.

The "Spy" module it's something complitely different of what i am looking for.

I thought this last release would include a mod like that, perhaps not, i think some of the modules for sale in the market can do that, but i also found some other cms with free modules doing just that...

Wow, the spammers have attacked the demo site.. lol

Our Dolphin has great SEO built in, do a google search for "dolphin 7.1 demo"

Does not take long for the bot.. and the spammers that follow.

The join form is split as well on the demo.

 It is incredible how quick they found mine too, 300 registrations in less than 24 hours. Wish my production site would see that kind of growth (real members)! lol

 did you split the join form too?

Having issues with page builder - any time I create a new page I can't move the HTML block once columns are created. This is in IE, Chrome & Firefox. This build was pulled from the SVN about a week ago though...

 yes, was same with mine prior to my demo SVN 16619.

 They load Linux on cars, maybe someone loaded Dolphin on a washing machine or a nuclear's reactor???

Well, figured out the issue with the template I've been developing for 7.1. 

Looks like they added a new script file:

tmpl_uni/scripts/BxTemplMenuSimple.php

Found it missing after reviewing my apache logs. After adding the above file to my new template, everything works again.

Online indicators are no longer showing though (the little colored boxes on the bottom right of the avatar image), this appears to be true with the UNI template as well as my own.

 Umm, care to share that template?

The one I'm working on?

http://sevenone.d7tuts.com/

I'll send it over to you if you are interested, it's really nothing special though.

 Great earth tones! I like it. Especially the links at the bottom.

Still tweaking, but finally got the three footer columns aligned. Here's a link to the CSS & HTML codes:

For anyone that's interested. Deanos Tools updated today. http://www.boonex.com/m/Deanos_Tools_V1_6_Dolphin_7_0_Version

The current archive not only contains the version for D7.0.0-7.0.9 but also contains a beta version for D7.1.0

Feel free to test.

 Most excellent!

 Working great on my 7.1 test site, thank you!

 Yea, now i wish they would update the actual version number in the SVN to 7.1.0

It's a good thing i noticed the default page width was changed from 998px to 1140px.

I felt a great disturbance in the Forums, as if millions of netbook users suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

I started installing most of my modzzz mods last night, happy to say that most of the functionality is there in 7.1 and they actually work.

This gives me hope for a smooth transition. I suspect little work, if any, will need to be done to update his modules. 

Anyone own 'Extended Video Page' by ue30?

Need to confirm it works on 7.1 before I buy it!

Unless 7.1 offers a Video Category block on Vid home page which so far is not showing on any test sites...

 [edit] do you have your own 7.1 demo running?

 I would think most popular vendors are actively working on compatibility with 7.1, soon as we get a release on it the market products will be updated.

i.e.

Deanos Tools ( IMO the most useful module there is ) didn't work, but he discovered this a while back while playing with the DEMO.

I think we talked about it here in this thread, and he has fixed it to work with 7.1 but I don't know if he posted that it does work, or released the version onto the market yet.

Most of my older modules still are working up to this point, my facebook module from deartmedia has some issues, but it always did.

Yummy, just plain yummy!

Over look the un compiled language files, sorry.

I think the 'add new' link will need to be added to a more prolific place than that bottom nav bar...?

Can see users overlooking it. Is it also added to the top menu or under profile links?

 I see it in the member menu only so far.

Wow, hats off to STW module creator winner! The STW thumbnail option works flawlessly now!

 I also have - facebook module, and the PAC module that will not install without an error.

I suspect those two are being worked on now.

After the complete removal of old 7.1 and updated to 16863, NONE of the older 7.0.9 modules work.. none.

As Deano stated before, they changed the way modules are installed and this proves it. All I see is a faster performing site.

But, as you see in the demo, the spammers have attacked overnight.

Looks like the reCAPTCHA is not blocking much, I added my Akismet just a few minutes ago, they attacked the blogs already.

 I just did that, but something it's not working as it should

 I pulled the last SVN, only missing a folder, no need to merge anything if you pull the svn as suggested again by Deano.

I just update today, there were two changes last night. now at SVN16866

I still don't see the "embed" feature for the sounds or the videos....

 The database between 7.0.9 and 7.1 are not compatible..

Your going to have to start fresh. do not merge anything now

Where is the "Main Sounds/Videos" info box that has the "URL" link and the "Embed" link for sharing?

It is not to be found anywhere..

[EDIT]

MY BAD, THAT WAS ADDED TODAY!!! THANKS!

Ouch! am i going to loose all my data again????

 Yes, I've done this many times, but that is what testing is all about.

[edit]No reason to back up Profile table, it will break the site if you try to use on your next update.. I tried everything not to remove all the data built up on my last demo.

Great....ok, thanks for the answer, i am going to restart it from scratch as usual...

 How so?

I'm pulling my production profile table into my test 710 environment & so far hasn't broke anything. Haven't tried the latest SVN though, curious to know what you ran into?

 Don't know if you installed any modules that were for 7.0.9, that did work i.e. for me, my facebook module.

It added something to the database, and when trying to recover, that it went bezerk

Good call, I hadn't tried adding the facebook module back yet. I am using deanos on my production site though. 

 Not the Dolphin facebook module(or PAC module), it's still broke today..

I'm talking about my 3rd party facebook module. Another example was the RPX login module, it worked last week, as of current SVN it does not.

Deano can explain this better than I, perhaps he will enlighten us later.

I'm just starting this new installation, again, but now it tells me that lots of stuff do not exist.

Before i go any further, i would like to hear your suggestions about this problem, i guess to copy and paste the missing files from 7.09 it's not an option anymore....how did you get past over this???

Thank youuu

 Can't really go into technicals details, but the feeling it's like trying to swim against the flow of the rapids into the Volga, with at least a few thousands Salmons hitting you while you try to stay afloat....

Now you know it.

 something went wrong with your install then.

My only problem was .../Serializer/HTML directory was not made, I had to make it and assign permission 777

Did you use the SVN, the http download is not complete, and I don't suggest a merge.

I zipped up the SVN and put over on mynewbeetle demo site for download, (see signature for login info) it's complete except for the above mentioned, you have to change the sitemap.xml file permission to 777

Keep in mind to, you need to SSH into your server and do the change permissions there, and for the modules permissions.

USING SHELL CLIENT

1. If PHP is running as an Apache module on Unix systems - log into your shell account using your favorite shell client and change directories to that containing your Dolphin script files. Now run the following commands under your SSH prompt:

chmod 777 ./inc ./backup ./cache ./cache_public ./langs ./media/app ./media/images ./media/images/banners ./media/images/blog ./media/images/classifieds ./media/images/membership ./media/images/profile ./media/images/profile_bg ./media/images/promo ./media/images/promo/original ./tmp ./plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer ./plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer/HTML ./plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer/CSS ./plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer/Test ./plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer/URI 

chmod 777 ./flash/modules/board/files ./flash/modules/chat/files ./flash/modules/photo/files ./flash/modules/im/files ./flash/modules/mp3/files ./flash/modules/video/files ./flash/modules/video_comments/files

chmod 666 inc/prof.inc.php

chmod 666 ./flash/modules/global/data/integration.dat ./flash/modules/board/xml/config.xml ./flash/modules/board/xml/langs.xml ./flash/modules/board/xml/main.xml ./flash/modules/board/xml/skins.xml ./flash/modules/chat/xml/config.xml ./flash/modules/chat/xml/langs.xml ./flash/modules/chat/xml/main.xml ./flash/modules/chat/xml/skins.xml ./flash/modules/desktop/xml/config.xml ./flash/modules/desktop/xml/langs.xml ./flash/modules/desktop/xml/main.xml ./flash/modules/desktop/xml/skins.xml ./flash/modules/global/xml/config.xml ./flash/modules/global/xml/main.xml ./flash/modules/im/xml/config.xml ./flash/modules/im/xml/langs.xml ./flash/modules/im/xml/main.xml ./flash/modules/im/xml/skins.xml ./flash/modules/mp3/xml/config.xml ./flash/modules/mp3/xml/langs.xml ./flash/modules/mp3/xml/main.xml ./flash/modules/mp3/xml/skins.xml ./flash/modules/photo/xml/config.xml ./flash/modules/photo/xml/langs.xml ./flash/modules/photo/xml/main.xml ./flash/modules/photo/xml/skins.xml ./flash/modules/video/xml/config.xml ./flash/modules/video/xml/langs.xml ./flash/modules/video/xml/main.xml ./flash/modules/video/xml/skins.xml ./flash/modules/video_comments/xml/config.xml ./flash/modules/video_comments/xml/langs.xml ./flash/modules/video_comments/xml/main.xml ./flash/modules/video_comments/xml/skins.xml
chmod 777 flash/modules/global/app/ffmpeg.exe

Note: all the other files in the Dolphin installation folder should have 644 permissions, and subfolders should have 755 permissions.

and then for the modules,

Install the modules

Go to Tools -> Modules where you can find modules that are installed and not installed. By default, there are no installed modules, and you have to do it manually.

If your web server is running PHP as an Apache module, you will have to change some permissions to be able to install some modules. Here is the whole list of the correct permissions:

chmod 777 modules/boonex/avatar/data/images/ modules/boonex/avatar/data/tmp/
chmod 777 modules/boonex/forum/classes modules/boonex/forum/conf modules/boonex/forum/layout modules/boonex/forum/log modules/boonex/forum/js modules/boonex/forum/cachejs modules/boonex/forum/data/attachments
chmod 777 modules/boonex/photos/data/files
chmod 777 modules/boonex/files/data/files
chmod 777 modules/boonex/desktop/file
chmod 777 modules/boonex/profile_customize/data/images
chmod 666 modules/boonex/profiler/log/profiler.log
chmod 777 modules/boonex/smtpmailer/data/logs

You can skip the above paragraph if PHP on your server is running in CGI mode.

You may see something about missing folders there but ignore them.

 Did you use the SVN, the http download is not complete, and I don't suggest a merge.

 That might explain it, i did take the files from http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/browser/branches/7.1  , but why to put an incompleted version of Dolphin for download???  I thought i was "safe" to get it from here...mmm

I am going to use your link and see if i can start from there, thanks Newton.

I read a while back that they would stop adding stuff to the http download and only to the SVN.

Okay it went all well, apart from a few issues:

1)

Yes, I posted about those two modules not installing.

I checked out the SVN today and they worked/fixed the facebook module and are up to 16868.

Due to possible damage to my database, I will not add those yet.

When doing updates this way I have to make sure they have not changed the d70.sql file, that was my last mistake.

I uploaded the changed files but what they changed did not work with the "older" database.

I'm reviewing the changes and will move the easy ones over today, most are cosmetic changes.

Just updated  to 16868 2012-09-12 14:41:42

some css changes here and there, embed for media files is back.. yay

[edit]Sorry guys, any content you added had to be removed to re install the updated modules which was half of them.

Those are the only two modules that boonex has that uses a ALTER TABLE in the uninstall sql file.

This issue will affect any module that does this.

Meaning it also affects both my facebook connect module and my google connect module.

I will affect any module that adds any new fields to a members profile.

At first i thought it was a change to the module installer and they were running the uninstall.sql before running the install. But dolphin 7.0.9 does the same thing.

So i am now thinking these errors were not showing up before because boonex was handling error differently. I have noticed that are working on a new error logging system for 7.1 which does not appear to be complete.

Not sure what is going on with that, but it is slowing down my testing. I had both of my connect modules updated to support 7.1 before this issue cropped up. And now i am not sure how to deal with it because i do not know what boonex is going to do. So my updates are on hold until 7.1 hits beta. or they deal with this. Which ever comes first.

Each person has their own preference.

You see, you may like it, but i hate that popup. I find it extremely annoying. I know it's unregistered. I do not need them to tell me every 30 seconds.

 Thanks for the clarification on that, which goes over my head lol, I was curious and now I know!

 I suggest a radical name change : Holdphin 7.1

Edit:

photografic evidence of an earlier's time user, clearly on hold.

 Hey wait a minute, i am not aware of any studies being made, to find out what would be the average age of the Dolphin's user, if it's for example, 95 y.o., that would be a great feature, lets see the bright's side of it, maybe somebody it's being holding there for much longer than we have ever thought...no wonder in some other threads, somebody was suggesting to check the pulse

Having been charged to get this software as a solution for a friends business, I was quite impressed when I began researching it.

Come to find very recent news on a new version coming out and I salivated on the first site I saw (newtons).

I have this test version running on our server and plan to skip over 7.0.9 entirely.

I'm a passionate programmer and I will see you all around this site :]

Especially any plugin dev related areas

installed my test site, working though half the market of modules now...

Will post as results come in!

Modzzz - Ultimate Article install fine. Runs fine also! Has a couple of minor changes needed in CSS with slight overlaps but other than that works fine! Good sign for first install...

ps - anybody tell me how to get outline and timeline to actually show up! media added, no outline or timeline in pageblocks... 16872 installed...

Modzzz - Premium Clubs - install fine. Works fine. Again, couple of very slight CSS overlaps, all functions working though!

Esase - Crawl Line - installs but wont show. Most likely template issue.

Modules2Buy - Who Viewed Me + Who I viewed blocks. Install and work fine :-)

then just for the heck of it, I installed a template. It didn't work :-)

 I moved my "Timeline" to my index manually..

outline not showing even with content added though!

 The comment for the Dolphin's file for download on your site still say "SVN 16863", where can we dowload the newer version? Thanks

16873 just downloaded and installed. 

Media content added, still no sign of outline or timeline anywhere!..?

No page blocks for them either in page builder. Do they need to be enabled anywhere?

Anyone else not getting outline block to appear or timeline, you have to install the module 'Wall'!

This is the new wall module... 

Content uploaded before Wall installed will not appear, only content added after Wall installed 

 Registering works, input your license now.

 Wall Module = Timeline/Outline two separate blocks

When you install the "wall" module, it called "timeline" under the modules list

Does anyone have an upgrade patch that will take us from 7.0.9 to the development version of 7.1.

We have setup a test clone of our site and would like to test 7.1.

 wait for 7.1 beta release.

I too found this unknown profile {profileNick}'s Wall can someone help please!

 The easiest way is to unzip a fresh copy of 7.09, then overwrite it with the 7.1 zip file. Then just proceed as normal to install

Ok, I see the work that's being done. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it seems like we're driving down the highway in a clump of cars never really making any progress even tho we seem to be goin 70.

Any idea on 7.1 launch date yet?

I'm really gettin antsy and tired of installing test sites. I want to install and configure the real thing now!

Just finished fresh install at mynewbeetle demo site. SVN 17041, I must say, it is beautiful!

The install process ending admin panel is too cool!! "It's so easy, a cave man can do this"

 The video uploads are fixed as well, I am able to install some older modules by changing the config.php version from 7.0.x to 7.1.x and so far my "facebook wall module" works perfect..

now on to more 3rd party module test..

 When I click on one of your personal profiles, I get this error message on your demo site:

Fatal error: Call to a member function check() on a non-object in /home/xxxx/public_html/7.1/inc/classes/BxDolTwigModule.php on line 991

 could you send link? I cannot dup.
