Dolphin 7.1 (Osho) - Sites
One of the last in line of the Dolphin 7.1 updates is the Sites module. Just as all other modules it has received the new design, layout, cleaned-up blocks and page elements...
Individual website page also got the new block with social sharing/voting buttons...
Besides our own improvements, the new integration of site thumbnails from ShrinkTheWeb was included. You may remember the contest they ran some time ago - collaboration with STW team and misterpopper resulted in a much better integration as well as the new admin settings page:
So it is now a lot more easy and convenient to make use of STW's service - just get the key and off you go.

"Sites" module is rarely used as a forefront part of a Dolphin-based community, but it is still very important - more and more people now have some sort of website of their own or represent certain web-entities. Professional communities often reply on Sites heavily as members want to feature their sites without littering forums, blogs or comments.
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
I removed the Sites module on D7.x due to the need to employ an outside server, a security risk I do not need. Even if it wasn't a security risk, I would not use it, I do not like the idea of using up my bandwidth for something that could be done within Dolphin itself.
I would like to make a serious consideration.
an interesting feature is to highlight if the site offers promotions to users of the site.
So, does it?
[had to remove your own reply to your comment, just though I had a better one]
Let's just call this for what it is. The shrinktheweb guy wants to make sure that every single person that clicks a thumbnail on a dolphin site, knows that stw made that thumbnail by redirecting them to stw, before the link that the thumbnail see more
Then the current empty pics are replaced with pics that are linked "wrong". Improvement but a dissapointment and not good.
There will be new threads on "How to solve the problem with..."
- you can disable STW and use manual upload
- you can get paid account from STW it is about $5 per month
- when user is redirected to STW website, there is an option to skip preview in the future, then, upon click, user is redirected to the site immediately, without seeing yellow STW website
While the concept of stw is fabulous, if it doesn't work for my site, I want to disable it and simply have the sites module work as it is described: a place on my site for links to other sites. At the core of the issue is just this - the module is supposed to work for the dolphin site, if the stw integration interferes see more

I cannot fully understand why you would want to send traffic away from your site. Unless of course you wanted to showcase your work if you were a web designer.
can be used to make good money with affiliate.
each site to make money is to live.
because having a module site, what the traffic remains on the site may have several kinds of margins for advertising, ease of site changed rapidly, returning to the home page of any site browsing, BoonEx is made why is that the video module does not allow us to have the videos on sites without taking it but also put the videos on see more
One thing that you don't mention is if there is going to be any improvement and having the Description capturing work better than it does today.
Anyone using third part modile for Sites please share your experience.
If you don't like the "mod" and want just user created link data, rewrite it. That's why the code is unencrypted - opensrc with limitations for the totally free version.
Many people use STW and some will find the mod a great addition.
(Andrew.. seeing you get paid so handsomely for integrating third party concepts.. you can share your next check with me ... I said what I said so I must be getting kickbacks see more
Do they really have classes that teach you how to make horse sounds?
When I play with Dolphin, if I can't fix what I don't like, then - that's my problem. $$$$ take that to your local bank and ask them what it's worth. $ 00.0000
I'll try not to hit below the belt next time.. I see it woke up the dead. (g) Impediment or part parrot? LMAO

I suggest you can create sub categories in the directory of sites.
the advantage is to have fewer entries and more logical order
