Make meaning or die - by Andrey Sivtsov
First off, Andrey & Co. Excellent product. Keep the good things coming. My issue (couldn’t find it addressed in forumz) is my RSS feeds have the time stamp “December 31, 1969″.
Have have installed 3 mods
youtubed gold
3 columns
extra page builder
Has anyone else run across this particular issue?

Hey all, I am testing a new hack and thought I would post it here. It is a mod that will allow you to send an SMS (or text messgae or pic) from your mobile phone to your dolphin site. The message or link to the pic is then posted in the RSS feed boxes on your homepage or anywhere on the site. I don’t want to get too spammed, so if you are interested in helping me test it, Private email at my user name and I will send you the email address. I am in the US, so you might not want to try it if you are outside the US and pay per text message that you send. Disclaimer! Make sure you have a txt/mms message plan. I am not responsible if you rack up txt charges for testing this!

Did some mods and came up with a pretty decent 3 column display for the homepage. ALthough i would like to make the third column (first coulmn left to right) modular. Has anyone accomplished this?

If you are interested I will setup how I did it.
Andrey, will Dolphin support this?

To sum up, eye.fi is a wireless SD card. you set it up to upload to your fav SMS site and then it will automatically upload the images, no wires, etc.
This could be a huge boon for those of us with middle/low-sized sms.
(This is a repost of a response to another’s post. I am posting it here because peeps contacted me that it might be a good idea….I have kept the post the same, errors in spelling, etc.)
Hey Andrey:
I feel for you bro! As a Pm for software Dev. it suks to release something, thing you have done a good thing, hit the milestones, grind out the code, check it as best you can, take that breather, then come back refreshed all to be hit by angry comments, some warranted, some not.
All software is buggy and reaching the coveted x.0 is part of the process of improvement, not perfection.
I mean honestly, how many people have upgraded to Vista from XP before SP1 will come out Microsoft threw billions of dollars at the new OS and it is raked over the coals!
And Dolphin is free! (sorry detractors but license/ping servers and “ugly” ads is not a violation of your internet right for free everything.)
Ok off my high horse…
To address your question about price packages, I have a suggestion. (Perhaps this exists, but If so I don;t know about it…)
What about hosting the entire community on your servers at a per month/quarter cost. By hosted I don;t mean the pinging and license servers, I am talking about the whole ball of wax - dolphin ray orca etc. on a server space. Allow folks to point their Domain to boonex so they can then build their site.
Keep the price low to encourage people to signup.
These “hosted” spaces would have the latest stable release. (people that want to build on their own server can of course go out on the bleeding edge.)
You can give people the option to continue using the boonex hosted option OR for (a small fee ) download their current user database from your servers which would allow them to setup their own site once they are ready and feel they have mastered the setup and created the space they want. Then when they move off you can give them a price point reduction on the “package deal” for being faithful to the boonex community.
This gives users:
1. security knowing that there will be a minimum of errors in the build package (that is hosted by boonex)
2. the experience to use the community software without boonex ads (which will compell most successful users to buy when they go on their own)
3. Give them time to create their site they way they want (self train) and after a few months move off to their own server (I bet at least 75% of the people who eventually move off would by the package instead of the free/ad version
4. This Generates revenue for boonex from people who would otherwise download the package themselves attempt a self install and grow disenfranchised from the product.
The truth of the explosion of the cms world is that all most of us can hope for is a small portion of the Facebook pie. Most CMS’ers get frustrated not so much by the software per se, but that their communities never get past they and their friends as members which tends to get them frustrated, berate the software as overly buggy, and pin it as the reason their community failed and then they go away - a hard point but a true one.
I say may 75% interested in hosted a community give up before 6 months due to lack of interest by either themselves or their target community.
Ok that’s it I guess.

I want to say congratulations and happy birthday to Andrey and the whole Boonex team. I dont think I have ever experienced such hardwork and dedication and singlemindedness to any software project from the developer team (and I have PM’d a few). I hope you all get rested and take some very well deserved time off. Dolphin has exceeded my expetations (beating out in my opinion the off the shelf and even custom made scripts.). And to top it all off it’s free.
I also want to say how much i enjoyed being part of the development (in my very small-teeny-tiny way) and how much i enjoyed reading other’s posts, tips, tricks, queries, pleadings and yes even the occasional arguement. But we all made it through together. I am psyched that 6.0 is out, but sad in a way, because boonex.com has become my home page and every day i look forward to seeing what is going on in the world of Dolphin dev. I hope the posts continue at the same rate cause all you guys are kinda like my extended online family now.
Rock on Gang and let’s get busy getting our online communities out the door!
Go Dolphin!
Removed mp3 menu blocks from menu builder. It appears to have worked successfully but i got this pop-up box after i removed it.
First off, as always, thank to andrey and the boonex team. Kick butt software. Just keeps getting better
My question is: (possibly a naive one)
Is it possible to put an rss feed into a “new item” object? I have tried putting a feed in and html formatting for that matter and no luck. Of course images and text from the editor appear fine.
Anyone? Bueller?
Personally I think the new item objects for the index page are perfect for front page customization!
!
Clicking on the link to “photo page builder” (photoCompose.php ) in the admin section gave me the error below
This is the latest version.
Again thanks to boonex for all the hard work!

I perused the Mods for purchase section. Looks like there is a ton of stuff. I am curious as to what people have purchased for mods for their site. I know this is probably more of a forum site question, but i consider the people here on the leading (bleeding) edge of Dolphin and therefore in my opinion probably more discriminating in what they would consider a worthwhile mod.
I looked at the Youtube lite and pro mod. the price was way steep but it looked like it might have a place on my site.
Anyone else?
Got this error in my in box from my beta version of dolphin. Not sure what it pertains to, (the site has no active users and I did not use the site today) but i am posting it here for fhe powers that be.
