Hmmmm ...... I agree that working with Boonex stuff can be a pain in the you-know-what. I've been wrestling with it now for a couple of weeks and yes, I have my share of daily headaches.

Having said that .... this is open source software for you. Welcome to world of many different people developing different things and more or less nailing, glueing and duct-taping it together.

Being a webmaster myself I am a complete PHP-idiot (most of it sounds like Vulcan to me). My terrain is lay-out, content see more production, user friendlyness, ease of use and that sort of stuff.

And I think I have some good advice for you: The options within the Dolphin/Ray combination are huge and you seem to be doing what most eager - inexperienced - webmaster do: grab all of it and try to get it all to work at once. Well guess what, it doesn't work that way. If you take driving lessons they teach you to open the door first before you try to dash off at 150MpH.

I've been a full time webmaster for 15 years now and everything work by trial and error. get to know you stuff, understand it and more importantly: understand your users.

I've got probably only 25 percent of the entire Dolphin/Ray options up currently and allready people are overwhelmed by the options (and that really isn't that much).

Yeah, it may seem messy (and yes, it probably is). On the other hand: do the math - how much do you expect for a louse few hundred bugs?
