Dolphin 6.0.0005 and Ray 3.1.0001 Patches Released!

VictorT posted 6th of March 2008 in . 61 comments.
Due to necessity and based on your reports we have been thinking of releasing an additional HotFix for Ray. Also, we have collected and fixed a few glitches in Dolphin and Orca these days. So, finally the decision was made towards the release of a full patch for Dolphin, Ray and Orca Combo. The patch contains only fixes and improvements. It's not so big, so we hope it won't be too complicated to be applied.

So, about the fixes:

Ray*
- Bug with Video Recorder in Dolphin Administration panel. Fixed
- Video Player button visibility. Fixed
- Bug with Music files when saving them. Fixed.

Dolphin*
- Fix on Auto-activation of Flash objects in IE (thanks to MichelSwiss)
- Bug with sending messages (concerned with UTF encoding)
- Directives magic_quotes_runtime and magic_quotes_runtime are set to OFF (for those whose servers have them ON). Installation improvement.
- Check if mb_string functions are supported in PHP.

Orca*
- Topic/Post submission for not-registered members in Orca when Dolphin's "Free Mode" is Enabled. Fixed. (known as "stolen faces" problem Wink)
- Dolphin Header/Footer were generated incorrectly when having onload function defined in body tag. Fixed.
- Link to "My Presence" was giving 404 Not Found error. Fixed.

And now:

Download and Upgrade Full packaged patches (Dolphin+Ray+Orca)

Download and Upgrade Ray patch only

Please upgrade and leave your comments. If you have any questions or problems do not hesitate to contact me.

Best Regards,
VictorT.

P.S. We are moving forward heading up to a major release ;). But anyway we will be as active in the blogs as we can in spite of the development process.

Nice to see this out !! Will test this and will update you.

SUGGESTION: I think the join form page needs to be improved ! Each field must have a description.

Like Nickname field must have a description saying:

Must be unique from x to z characters long.

Etc. This is necessary. Ive seen so many members leave my site just bcs they get this stupid error ! They have to fill it again, and it only says ERROR ! DOES NOT TELL THEM WHICH FIELD CAUSED THE ERROR AND WHY ! THIS IS A MUST ! PLS DO see more SOMETHING !

Thankyou
installing on our test bed now

Thanks

"P.S. We are moving forward heading up to a major release ;). "

Any update on when this upgrade might take place?
chee

spider
Yea, Cool!
I am really new one here .. But I maked much changes in my Dolphin6.0003 like replace ever primary static text to simple image with text flash animation. I use FireFox, but I Really need that upgrade:

- Fix on Auto-activation of Flash objects in IE (thanks to MichelSwiss)

Please tell me how to upgrade with only this "function/mod"? I can upgrade all, once I tried and then I losed database, because I am still beginner.
But Now I really Need to Auto-Activation of Flash see more Objects in IE. :)
Thanks!
SergeyZ
To add this mod to your site please follow these instructions:
1. Open following file in text editor templates/base/_header.html.
Find following line:
<script src="inc/js/functions.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script>
And add this line after it:
<script src="inc/js/ie7_flash_fix.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script>

2. Download 6.0.0005 patch. Copy file inc/js/ie7_flash_fix.js see more from patch package to inc/js directory of your Dolphin.

That's all.
Regards.
Nakko
Thx..

but there are some bugs.

Rating:
1. i can rate my profile.
2. everybody can rate all profiles (visitors)
3. they can rate thousand times

ZIP codes:
1. I think it is really necessary every other Community script has a database or extern-datanbase for ZIP codes....
By Dolphin it is hard.....

and as Saks said:
I think the join form page needs to be improved ! Each field must have a description.
MaxGio
I just upgraded to full packages patches on my site. It fixed Bug with Video Recorder in Dolphin Administration panel.

Suggestion: I think it will be very good if the next version can show EXIF META DATA on the Photo Gallery and we can categorize photo, video and music in each gallery.
Thanks for great software !
myboonex
my site crashed after the upgrade with this message

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ecardsgeneratesendlink() in /home/hyefinde/public_html/inc/members.inc.php on line 458

please help ASAP

Hello.

I have already replied in your blog, but I will also comment here.

You should restore your backup and then apply the correct patch for SmartPro which can be downloaded here:

http://www.boonex.com/unity/id/smartpropack

thepcman
Great but I was hoping it would fix the editor/java error I am having in the builder section of the admin page.

Great script though, thank you very very much.

Dolphin 6.0.0005???
I have been waiting for 6.1 ANY RESPONSE IN WHEN IT'LL BE RELEASED!!!!any response would be helpful.
myboonex
I have been waiting for BoonEx to respond for 7 hours now.
Going to start looking for another product soon. how sad

Remember that these guys might not be in your time zone. You don't expect them to work 24/7 or do you?
Petro38
Please, eliminate in following release a mistake with ffmpeg and FreeBSD! Ffmpeg still does not work with FreeBSD!
The mistake repeats each time, and till now is not eliminated. It stirs to distribution Dolphin on many a server and hostings. I heard already tens complaints, and itself I can сказатьь, that for me ffmpeg did not work on two hostings with FreeBSD!
VictorT
You can download FFMPEG for FreeBSD from this page http://www.boonex.com/products/dolphin/download/
Petro38
Still the problem with display RSS is not eliminated. In news RSS from different suppliers get теги HTML. It spoils a kind of the main page.
SergeyZ
RSS feeds must be in UTF-8 encoding. This is mandatory yet.
What about tags, they are converted using html special chars. This behavior will be changed in future version.

Regards.
bambie
It fixed the video but now not showing in profiles the music that has been uploaded.
echoman74
Thank you victor t for ignoring my post.
The least you can do is give people a time frame!!
Do you all even care about you customers!!!
Nighto2007
Thank you victor

I will install this new patch then I will put other comment :)
myboonex
Petro38, Igor had fix that for me and this latest version broke the RSS. I went back to my backup and did a diff and found his fix. It was in file

inc>design.inc.php line 1296

<?= htmlspecialchars_adv( $oItem -> description ) ?>

replaced it with your prior fix of

<?= //htmlspecialchars_adv( $oItem -> description ) ?>
<?= ( $oItem -> description ) ?>

I did this and now my RSS are working fine, just like he had fixed it before.
SergeyZ
This fix is correct. HTML-tags was converted using HTML special chars. This behavior will be changed in future version.

Regards.
Nighto2007
Back ;)

I installed this patch and checked all my site after upgrade .. it's work fine without any problem and last problems corrected successfully ...
thank you victor and all boonex team

best regards

SITE :abidjanspace.com crash,can't access both admin and the site itself .logon the site this what i have seen:

Warning: main(/home2/abidjans/public_html/templates/tmpl_chr/scripts/BxTemplConfig.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/abidjans/public_html/inc/params.inc.php on line 102

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home2/abidjans/public_html/templates/tmpl_chr/scripts/BxTemplConfig.php' (include_path='.:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php') see more in /home2/abidjans/public_html/inc/params.inc.php on line 102
SergeyZ
Somehow you lost scripts/BxTemplConfig.php file from your "CHR" template. If you accidentally deleted it, restore it from the template package. If you deleted the whole "CHR" template please open your inc/params.inc.php in editor, find this line:
$tmpl = 'chr';
and replace it with this:
$tmpl = 'uni';

It should help.

SergeyZ

Even worst here at my new test install

Can someone help me. The issue is only with Ocra (for Now) and FireFox shows just codes
Robin
Hello all,

i upgraded from 6.4. to 6.5 and didnt run into any problems...
- The forum issue i had before seem to have been fixed.users can create posting without being logged in.
-i know there was an issue with non-members sending out greeting but cant remember the steps to see if its fixed so i'll thake boonex word on this.
- profile video seems to be working now.
thepcman
Have you tried going to ocra using FireFox since you upgraded.

Try it.
thepcman
Does any of the Dolphin developers come here at all?

There is an issue with the Ocra and FireFox
===================================
Try going to ocra with FireFox

I cannot believe that no one is paying attention to such a huge bug. All you can see in FireFox when you go to Ocra is a page a garbage.

Can a Dolphin developer at least let us know that you know about this.

================================
Some of the garbage
===============================
<div id="FloatDesc" see more style="position:absolute;display:none;z-index:100;"></div> <script src="AC_OETags.js" language="javascript"></script> <script src="pageear.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="http://www.aceautomobile.com/ray/modules/im/js/invite.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script> <div id="flcontainer" name="flcontainer" style="position:absolute;top:-9999px;left:0px;width:300px;height:200px;z-index:90;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"

Picture a page of this

This is an issue of Orca with client-side xslt-transformation in Firefox. To enable server-side transformation you should configure (recompile) your PHP with following options: --enable-xslt --with-xslt-sablot OR --with-dom-xslt (for PHP 4) or --with-xsl (for PHP 5).

Regards.
bambie
I have found out by mistake that the error with music in profiles is located in a template file in this patch when i done added a other template it works fine.
SergeyZ
Hello bambie!
Please specify your issue more detaily or contact us at support@boonex.com.

Regards.
petch
I got the same error as thepcman
The upgrade had the problem with Firefox
thepcman
petch, thank you, now I know I am not crazy.

So is someone from the development crew of Dolphin going to say something. This may be an open source script but I have an ADFee version meaning someone made money from it. There should be a little more care here.

WOW!
HikeMaster
My upgrade to 6.05 went smoothly, thanks Boonex Team! Could we have an update on when 6.1 may be released? I can't find any current news on that. Thanks again!

I gave it to the tech at my hosting company and I am waiting to see if it will work after they do what's suggested see more above.
dugarka
After apply 6.005 patches for Dolphin+Ray+Orca Free i've got same problem with bottons visiblity in FireFox only. In IE and Opare video player looks good.
Can anybody halp with this trouble?
silverado350
I talked to my hosting company and they said XSL (forPHP5) is already installed. What else could be causing this issue?
thepcman
The only thing I can suggest is to run a php info on the site yo confirm it is installed. My host installed it for me and now it is working fine. I am still having the java error in Admin/Builders page though no one as addressed that as yet.

I hope you get your issues solved. I know what it feels like trying to get something fixed and have no power over it.

All the best.

Any plans for:
1-Having an easier browse/search of videos/music/photos on Ray? Meaning search by keyword/ most popular etc...??
2-Any way to make some video files/pictures uploaded by users viewable only for friends? This would be very useful if you would like only family and friends to see you and not the whole world.
Can think of more.. but will :)

Keep up the good work THANK YOU!
tuba
Dolphin users please vote on my suggestions if you also think the same way.. :)
By the way maybe a Dolphin whishlist would be great:where you can put development ideas and users can vote on what they are looking for...

Does anybody...anybody whatsoever, on this site actually have audio/video buttons in chat??? I only have text chat... I have installed over 100 times every latest version possible and still no audio/video in chat.
thepcman
Are you using free Ray and the Boonex Free RMS?

If you are using ADFRee version, you need to setup and RMS sever or it might be better to have the experts do it here.

thanks in advance

I read that there is or will be a full shopping cart feature for Dolphin...

Is it out yet? I installed the latest but can't find it...

Any help or information would be appreciated.

I have migrated my website (www.amistad.com) to Dolphin and I am very happy with it. Yes, there are some bugs, but overall it is an excellent product.

Support has been good too, considering that my support person was on a totally different time-zone. I usually took a day to get things resolved, but I understood that when I was awake he was probably sleeping :-)
djmistah
I think adding categorizes would be a huge improvement to the script like Men Photos,videos etc and the same for women. This will be so helpful and easy for all members to not end up HAVING NO CHOICE but to look at the same sex. So basicly having said that,it would be good to be able to add sub categorizes under that in all areas of the media department,that way the admin can add what ever he/she wants. They can add media in each area of their choice.

I also thought it would be cool if you see more can have it where on a members profile. The main photo will show but all the rest of the pics can be blocked with members only,that will be a cool option. People will surely sign up just so they can see the rest of the photos.

I did a live upgrade from Dolphin 6.0.0004 to Dolphin 6.0.0005 and Ray 3.1.0001 Patches Released!.

<script src="inc/js/ie7_flash_fix.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script>

from templates/base/_header.html.

now works fine on see more ie7 and firefox

Dolphin is a disgrace. And a setup.
UI looks good but when, as an admin, I tried to upload my 1500 videos to the site, not one was uploaded. Not one. Just spam pop up menus -Orca and Ray- and complete and utter failure as a professional CMS.
I am disgusted and financially fcked, bcause I sold you asshls to a HUGE client and you software sucks- sneaky and not what you advertise.
You are certainly not part of the open source movement hat I am aware of.
Shame on you.
Go work for Halliburton or see more McCain, you fckwds.

i have instaleld latest dolphin Alpha 6.1a with free ray and even registered at unity and enterted license at admin panel still my music and video widgets are showing as not installed on site
www.24rocking.com
After this upgrade, when I go to upload a video, or use my "youtubes" widget, ray is stuck on the "loading" page with the circle of dots highlighting round and round - refresh, refresh, wait and wait, it refuses to load. Any suggestions?
