Not every one wants to run a community websites...
I suggest Boonex to branch out products based on Trident core
1.D8 Fanbase Portal [$999]
- Separate Unity member group
- Separate Unity Market
- Separate Unity Jobs/Support
Sports,celebrities,heroes,veterans etc a site with all in one fan base would be great and rocking
2.D8 Social Active Portal[$999]
- Separate Unity member group
- Separate Unity Market
- Separate Unity Jobs/Support
Social shopping, social gifting, social jobs, social games, social events
3.D8 Portal like Yahoo.com[All Portals in one] [$2499]
- Separate Unity member group
- Separate Unity Market
- Separate Unity Jobs/Support
All the portal features in One Package, ready to start business from day one.
If Dolphin is delivered as a product in future, i can buy mods as a service for a long run.
Definitely Boonex needs to conceptualize a new strategy instead of hooking onto others for help.
if this sounds illogical run a survey to all the Dolphin site owners and statistically analyze the hardships faced by the owners in choosing the mods, upgrades etc onto the empty Dolphin CMS.
D7 is a social networking CMS
Today all the portals require social plugins to survive...
I see Dolphin is "empty" inside[no offence]
if you look Dolphin as a "xyz website" and not as a CMS
xyz = Social NEWS Community? - it doesnt suit that name
xyz = Social FanBase Community? - it doesnt suit that name
xyz = Social Job Community? - it doesnt suit that name
the point is
I dont want to download "Dolphin cms"
and run it as "Dolphin cms" modified for xyz
it would be nice for a hobbyist
for a serious webmaster, it means business...
I download "Dolphin Portal"
and run "MyOwn Portal"
here i should trust Dolphin and work on the marketting...
I recommend seriously that Boonex Should try to implement
http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php in Dolphin 7.1[doesnt matter if its buggy]
For sure, D8 will be Phenomenal Product.
running a feature as website is not a good point in business perspective.
i suggest you run a travel portal with community feature or a job portal with community feature
there are
525476 downloads
103874 webmasters in boonex
all running a community-only website?
not good...
webmasters need a better strategy...
I've even managed to integrate other software packages into the website and used Dolphin's see more
your site is cool. as a webmaster you would have fueled a great amount of effort to start this website...
calculate that in a newbies perspective...
say, if i want to run a real estate community website...
i can install joomla
and install realtor plugin
and the effort here is
Joomla installation 30 mins
plugin installation 30 mins
to the max i can go live in the most max 24 hrs
in case of dolphin, i say it is not mature enough to be "the ultimate platform"
just see more
