My D7 Suggestions

Don't know if anyone has already suggested the following fixes / improvements for D7?

Just my 02c's worth ;)

.

1/ Change all short tags to long tags - it's not very good coding practice and it would increase Dolphin compatibility. My WSP does not use them and after one update I am already bored with having to a search and destroy to change them. Short tags also cause issues for XML coding (they both use '<?') which is why many hosts disable the short tags function. Increasing compatibility is a good thing.

.

2/ Change the RSS feature used for aggregating forum posts to utilise either a local function call to get the RSS data or at worst case a relative path. The RSS issue that many experience (constantly spinning icon for forum posts) is due to WSP's disabling loop-backs. Again - this increases Dolphin compatibility and is both worthwhile and an easy fix.

.

3/ Fix the issue with Tiny MCE where CRLF is not translated into BR tag (whitespace is not maintained). Not 100% sure if this issue applies to all browser / platforms. It is not a Tiny MCE issue as I use this on my own CMS and the issue is not present.

.

4/ Change the way that icons (image thumbnails) are handled. Currently the same CSS is used to both the forum avatars and the thumbnails in the profile photos. It would be good to add additional CSS + admin fields for forum avatars so that different sizes can be applied to each field. Additionally this could be taken one step further and icon / avatar admin could be made a separate function.

.

5/ Individual forums should have a setting to enable / disable inclusion from latest posts block on front page.

.

6/ 'Flag / Unflag' should be changed to 'Subscribe'

.

7/ Subscribe | Post reply | New Topic  buttons should be added to bottom of forum - you invariably want to reply after reading the posts and this means scrolling back up to the top to get to the buttons.

.

8/ 'Number of views' should be added to forum topics

.

9/ Pages links at bottom of page should be reformatted to display something similar to...

< 1 2 3 ... 11 12 13 ... 22 23 24 >

...it looks untidy to display all pages.

.

Regards.

Hi Everyone,

I'm new with the Dolphin, Script,  just 1 month.

I have test the last version and i would suggest some add , for the new version

1)  Have more than 1 admin for the chat.


2) Possibilities to see IP of the user, with a ban IP, Ban User,  and

module to set many options for moderator or admin. having a module to unban user in administration for the chat

3) Make Ignore user , so an user can be ignored, and the person dont see message for the ignored person

ex.  They are 6 users , user1, user2, ....  user6,  the uiser 1 decide to ignore user 6, when user 6 send a

message,   all can see it except user 1 who has ignored user6. This option can be toggled on or off

4) Have a Friend list, so the user can add some other  in the list and see where is he on the chat. with possibilities to send chat request, private, whisper etc.

5) For admin in chat,  possibilties to have invisible status on the chat

6) Possibilities to view a log of conversation Public and Private.  for admins only

7) The possibilities for user to accept or not to be viewed from an user on cam.  (Asking to the user to see her/his cam)

8)  The admins, and modo can view all cam without asking it.

THanks

Benoit
