Just thought this might help with a few problems that might pop up.

  Blogs workable (with the design not altered in anyway) - this is likely a change to the related php file. It sounds like the page is missing the name of the php file in the link (the form’s submit action) - 5mins to fix. Either way it could only be related to at most 3 functions… wont take long at all - no matter what the problem.

Groups workable (” “) - A careful restore of the orca (group orca) files and related dbase tables to their original state from a fresh install of dolphin will bring this back to life. Half hour.. an hour for a junior.

Banners active in admin section - this has likely been altered in the php code to allow for your rotating banner (an add-on) - problem could be in the __top_banner__ (etc) functions or the CSS…

link top banner to diffrent place other than join.php - this is likely a 30second change to one of the header files in your templates/* directory

Here’s how you can change it.

Problem: Someone added a rotating banner for me that scrolls through 5 diffrent banners if I had them. I want to link these banners to seperate places but cannot find where to do this.

Solution: To locate the URL your rotating banner has, open the files /templates/base/_header.html and /templates/tmpl_UNI(??)/_header.html Look for the link (where to send the click on the banner) and change it to your new page.. 

Open :: /group_actions.php

Find:::

switch( $action )

{

After it paste:::

case ‘delete’:

$_page['header'] = _t( “_Group Delete” );

$_page['header_text'] = _t( “_Group Delete” );

$oGroups->deleteGroupNow( $groupID );

$_page_cont[$_ni]['page_main_code'] = MsgBox(_t( “_You have successfully deleted the group” ));

break;

Open :: /inc/classes/BxDolGroups.php

Replace the function PCGroupActions with

function PCGroupActions($aGroupInfo, $iGroupID, $iMemberID) {

global $site;

global $logged;

 

$sRetHtml = ”;

 

if ( $logged['member'] ) {

if ( $this->isGroupMember( $iMemberID, $iGroupID, false ) ) {

if ( $this->isGroupMember( $iMemberID, $iGroupID ) ) { //if Active member

if( (int)$aGroupInfo['members_invite'] or $aGroupInfo['creatorID'] == $iMemberID )

$sRetHtml .= $this->genGroupActionBtn( ‘Invite others’, “group_actions.php?a=invite&ID={$iGroupID}” );

if( (int)$aGroupInfo['members_post_images'] or $aGroupInfo['creatorID'] == $iMemberID )

$sRetHtml .= $this->genGroupActionBtn( ‘Upload image’, “group_actions.php?a=upload&ID={$iGroupID}” );

//$sRetHtml .= $this->genGroupActionBtn( ‘Post topic’, “{$this->sSubGrpPath}orca/?action=goto&forum_id={$iGroupID}#action=goto&new_topic={$iGroupID}” );

$sForumUri = db_value(”SELECT `forum_uri` FROM `grp_forum` WHERE `forum_id` = ‘{$iGroupID}’ LIMIT 1″);

$sRetHtml .= $this->genGroupActionBtn( ‘Post topic’, “groups/orca/forum/{$sForumUri}-0.htm#action=goto&new_topic={$sForumUri}” );

}

if ( $aGroupInfo['creatorID'] == $iMemberID ){

$sRetHtml .= $this->genGroupActionBtn( ‘Edit group’, “{$this->sCurrFile}?action=edit&ID={$iGroupID}” );

$sRetHtml .= $this->genGroupActionBtn( ‘Delete Group’, “group_actions.php?a=delete&ID={$iGroupID}”, true );

}

else{

$sRetHtml .= $this->genGroupActionBtn( ‘Resign group’, “group_actions.php?a=resign&ID={$iGroupID}”, true );

}

} else

$sRetHtml .= $this->genGroupActionBtn( ‘Join group’, “group_actions.php?a=join&ID={$iGroupID}”, true );

}

return $sRetHtml;

}

Find::

function resignGroupMember( $iMemberID, $iGroupID ) {

db_res( “DELETE FROM `GroupsMembers` WHERE `memberID`={$iMemberID} AND `groupID`={$iGroupID}” );

}

After it paste:

function deleteGroupNow( $iGroupID ) {

db_res( “DELETE FROM `Groups` WHERE `ID`={$iGroupID}” );

}

You can change the options in the actions menu (on the profile view page) by following these simple steps.

Open:

/templates/base/scripts/BxBaseProfileView.php

Find the function:

showBlockActionsMenu()

You will  find within this function are the links. Add and remove links in this area. 

BEWARE:: Make sure you keep the code entact, and follow the other links as guides. For instance - one link opens a standard page within the same browser - other links have an OnClick event - which opens a pop up window.

As long as you are careful to add a new link in the exact fashion, or remove a link by taking away the entire line (from $ret .= all the way to and including the semi-colin. ( ; ) - you will be able to completely customize this area of your dolphin community.

You can increase the number of videos each member can upload to a maximum of 50 using the Plugins/Ray area of the Dolphin admin panel.

If you want to go over 50 video uploads per user in your dolphin community follow these simple steps.

Open:
/ray/modules/movie/xml/settings.xml

Find the following reference:

key=filesCount

Shortly after that (on the same line) you will see:

range=3:50

This is a from and to value (from 3 to 50) - change the 50 to the number of videos you will allow each user to upload to your dolpin community site.

Now open your Dolphin admin panel (plugins/ray/video) and increase the maximum in the proper text box.
