DOLPHIN 6.1 - USELESS FOR BUSINESS?

p.s. Does anyone even know how to contact those guys- I couldn't even get a quote from them.

Well then maybe you can help me, because after suffering COUNTLESS hours trying to get rid of the tightly integrated dating functions (and completely trashing my database several times) I finally threw in the towel and deleted the entire thing and re-installed 6.1. I was extremely hopeful that with the heavily hyped new version, I would FINALLY be able to use Dolphin for my business application- and it does have some cool features for business if there were a way to get rid of it. Now the VERY FIRST thing I tried was to get rid of that "Profile Type" feature, and the developers strange obsession with couples dating- and I found that THIS CANNOT BE DONE - at least without modifying the code and probably producing another unstable system. I'm extremely disappointed that they did this in 6.1 as it has made the software all but useless for business, and I have to assume that the developers do not want their software used for business for some reason.

The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
Well I think if you read what dolphin is, it sure isnt a business application.
Although, we have done many customizations to allow for the system to be used for almost any type of application.

Please read what Dolphin is or in which way it is going. Well, im also missing some things which were announced for 6.1 BUT youll never find such a script like dolphin for FREE!!
How customizable is Dolphin? Can I add business logic into it? can I modify the source code to fit my needs?
Or can I get the hell out with my questions and use a framework?
I am also TRYING to set up several business sites...
I have one community site running as my test site locally in So Cal.
The other....I am trying to mod some of the search features (the dating items) to work.
Then I tried to install V6.1.3 AND added the bug fix they found today. I am getting the same "language compile" error as you....
See my entry under Orca....
Let me know if you can find a fix...
BTW Cool concept for California and don't we need all see more
BTW I tested ELGG before discovering Dolphin and I can tell you there is zero support and documentation for it, I had quite a few emails from people you had tried installing elgg and had lots of problems with and my forum posts went unanswered!
I have just installed D, O & R and find the amount of control overwhelming - where do I start....
I'd be interested in viewing other business sites out there.
