My disappointment (and unconformity) with the Dolphin grows by the minute...
(Translated with Google)
Here are the main reasons:
Apparently, the Dolphin doesn't have a strong and united community such as happens with Joomla or Wordpress.
Seemingly, who learns to use Dolphin doesn't return to help beginners. Why does this happen? And I wonder if I will be willing to do it...
Also apparently, the Dolphin has too much flaws in the system. And the fact of in the own site of the dolphin, too often, open pages with errors, doesn't also cause good impression on the system. And we didn't avoid to wonder if it will be worthwhile to believe in such a system.
It seems that the Dolphin was designed for people little interested in the utility of the system. This also explains, for instance, the form how the photos are visualized in the album. We have to click in the arrow to see the next picture and then we have to go down the page to see the picture... Clearly, this discourages users to continue visualizing the photos ... And from what I saw, the albums sold in MARKET are not very different.
Also, some MODs for sale (in Market) don't offer any type of assistance or even provide a demo, nor enough information to understand (without the possibility of misunderstandings) the usefulness of the same ones, inducing us into error, and leading us to buy (as was my case) MODs that don't correspond minimally to what we needed.
It seems that the policy of license sales of Dolphin was done thinking just in Australians (I suppose that there the dollars don't worth much!).
The cheaper license costs a sum superior to the minimum wage of some Third World countries, and even many of the Second. So, I keep wonder, what's the utility of such license.
Apparently, the MODs sold on the site are intended only to Australians and rich people... I'm convinced that if they were sold for a more accessible price (that took into attention the purchasing possibilities of most of the people) that would be compensated by a higher number of sales, and we'd all benefit from it.

MARMELADA
A minha decepção (e inconformismo) com o Dolphin crescem a cada minuto. Eis os principais motivos:
Aparentemente, o Dolphin não possui uma comunidade tão forte e unida, como por exemplo, acontece com o Joomla ou o Wordpres
Aparentemente, quem aprende a usar o Dolphin não volta para ajudar principiantes. Porque será que isto acontece ? E pergunto-me se eu próprio irei ter vontade de faze-lo...
Aparentemente, o Dolphin tem demasiadas falhas no sistema. E o fato de no próprio site do dolphin, demasiadas vezes, abrirem páginas com erros, também não causa nada boa impressão sobre o sistema. E não conseguimos deixar de nos perguntar se valerá mesmo a pena acreditar num sistema destes.
Aparentemente, o Dolpin é concebido por pessoas pouco interesadas na utilidade do sistema. Só assim se explica, por exemplo, a forma como se vizualiza as fotos no álbum. Temos de clicar na seta para ver a próxima foto e depois temos de descer a página para ver a foto... E é evidente que Isto desmotiva os usuários de continuarem a visualizar as fotos...
Aparentemente, alguns mods á venda (em MARKET) não oferecem qualquer tipo de assistência, e nem sequer disponibilizam uma demo, nem informação suficiente para se perceber (sem a possibilidade de equivocos) a utilidade dos mesmos, induzindo-nos em erro, e levando-nos a comprar (como foi o meu caso) mods que não corespondem minimamente aquilo que precisamos.
Aparentemente, a politica de venda das licenças do Dolpin parece ser feita apenas a pensar nos australianos (suponho, que por lá os dólares devem valer muito pouco!). A licença mais barata custa uma soma superior ao salário minimo em alguns países do terceiro, e até mesmo do segundo, mundo. E pergunto-me, ainda, sobre a utilidade dessa licença...
Aparentemente, os mods vendidos no site destimam-se apenas a autralianos e a povos ricos... Estou convencido de que se fossem vendidos por um preço mais acessivel (tendo em conta o poder de compra da maioria dos povos) isso seria largamente compensado por um numero muito superior de vendas, e ficavamos todos a ganhar com isso.
I have different mods from several developers and I'am happy with them.
As far as the support here goes:
1. The community is not here to support a 3rd party mod. We couldn't unless we had the source files and we're not all going to run out and buy it just to provide you with support.
2. It takes time to properly develop a mod, those who develop see more
Who sells a mod has an obligation to support
I bought the mod in the Dolphin Market, so the responsibility and the Dolphin. I do not care who created the mod. When you buy a product in a store if not satisfied with the product you must submit your complaint to the head of the store, not the one who created the product ...
And where is written that the site of the Dolphin is not responsible for products sold in Market?
I do not know Australian laws but here in Europe this see more
Im in Europe too, well UK, and this is how its always worked, the emphasis is on YOU to do some market see more
That said, the issue you are having is not with the modification, but with the fact that you are unwilling to learn how to use this script. I know this, because you cannot even figure out how to add an HTML block, even when it was right under your nose.
We cannot hold your hand, as we have said to many before you, as you must learn this see more
I think that the crux of the issue is that Dolphin is in essence a commercial product, but being labeled as 'open source', is often thought of as free. (as in free-beer).
Nowadays, many of the users of Dolphin are from a community background - users like myself, who run see more
Wordpress: mainly for blogging, you do have to pay if you want the multi-blogger version.
PHPBB: Mainly for Forums with a weak IM and E-mail system integrated see more
Everything else, spot on.
I know that Wordypress etc are very different products from Dolphin, it's not the features that I am comparing, just the expectations that new users of Dolphin have of support - perhaps as you say wrongly. I know that when I first started using Dolphin I had these same expectations see more
The best way I see is to comment directly on a modders profile and then have the newbies check those comments. Harder to get rid of profile comments. Actually, I haven't found a way yet.

This information proves that the relationship between the seller and the site BoonEx is not just casual and they both work in association

Maybe someday, you'll explain this blog's title. I don't get it.
Yay, riddle time.
But it can be understood as: Promiscuity, lack of clarity, confusion, orgy, etc..
BTW, I think your screen cap of the issue pretty much puts an end to the Dolphin/Mods issue. Your posts seem to indicate that you were trying to get support for the Mod itself, without much success. Did Dolphin work as you expected without this mod? Why did you purchase something that you didn't even have an idea of its' "utility"? And I agree that you see more
I understand why Pedrox might be upset over this particular mod not working (among others), since multi-language extensions see more
I thought it was a translator. I thought it was the same as it is on site http://www.asienladyboys.com/
