Hello dear Victor,

Thanks very much your reply and for openning a ticket.

I followed the link you posted here and I saw you mentionned access restrictions to photo, music and video only.

The fact is the following restrictions do work for standard Membership:

can add_delete classifieds
get other members’ emails
make search
rate photos
send greetings
send messages
use Blog
use chat
use forum
use gallery
use guestbook
use instant messenger
use Ray chat
use Ray instant messenger
use Ray mp3 player
use Ray presence
use Ray video player
use Ray video recorder
view other members’ Blog
view other members’ galleries
view other members’ guestbooks
view photos
view profiles
vote

Please, would you like to update the ticket and add the actions above?

Thanks for helping.

@Dotnet and @zmoos

Agreed. We have added the ticket for the .0004 patch to fix (improve) these issues.

You can find it here.

These are first steps which will be taken care of in order to improve “Membership Levels” functionality.

Your comments and feedback are welcome.

Yeah, most sites have just a few members, and don’t even have enough use to find out if features work or not…. a lot of hobbyists I guess.

Yeah zmoos, you are right and it’s too sad. Boonex the manufacture is quite too. Well, maybe people do not care because few are those who are planning to use Dolphin for business, in other words who are seeing in dolphin a great opportunity to make money. I’ve noticed that over 80% of Boonex users are running free and personal sites. Most of them are not too serious with their websites and they are just doing it for fun. It isn’t bad but IMHO Dolphin should completely meet both personal and business needs.

Now let’s cross fingers and wait a little bit more to hear (read) from Boonex.

Yes Dotnet,

I totally agree; it’s a NON-solution… It is not practical for a live site, with real traffic and services. It just didnt seem like anybody cares about this one.

But I agree, it IS a critical issue.

Hello zmoos,

The solution you are talking about will not solve the problem because advanced and Premium members will be unable to use features that will be removed from the Menu Builder.

This is an emergency. It’s critical issue that needs a quick fix.

If a site is based upon Free and Paid memberships, this membership level misfunction is making Dolphin unusable.

I greatly hope Boonex team will understand that and provide a fix ASAP. Thx in advance.

Yes, I have the same experience. For examaple. My non-members are not supposed to have access to photo galleries… but the do. And the solution (a non-solution) in the forumz was to use the MENU builder to limit the menu items to members only… well.. um… that SORT OF solves part of the problem, but doesn’t really solve the issue.

On the same topic. it would be REALLY nice if we could limit profiled viewd or searched to s certain quantity for NON-members. Right now, its either all or nothing.
