Dolphin Config Questions

You will have much better luck here if you do a search first, and then ask one question at a time.  No one wants to answer a whole list.  Here is the answer to your site name question: http://www.dialme.com/articles/entry/Change-your-site-title-and-site-email-address Try carefully reviewing settings/advanced settings to find the answer to a few others.

 I certiainly hope that isn't an option somewhere.  Having that geek Tom automatically added to my friends list was annoying.  It's just another way to spam members.  

.

Why would you assume that your members want you on their friends list?  It's just another invasion of privacy if you ask me.

.

.

For your other questions, I'd suggest you spend some time familiarizing yourself with the admin panel.

"As for the option to be added as a friend right away, what's so intruding about it?"

.

.

Because the people that join your site have no desire to add a complete stranger to their friends list.  You answered your own question, in that you only want to do it to see what kind of content they are posting.  Unless that content is posted in a public place for all to see, it's none of the admin's business.  Of course, that's only my opinion..

.

As for your other question about people getting treated like morons, it's usually due to one of two things:

.

1. They are a moron.

.

2. They haven't bothered to search the forums, for an answer to their question, which in most cases has been asked hundreds of times before.

.

.

Having been a member of this community for as long as you have been, you should know by now that some of what you ask can be found in header.inc.php   Good luck

We obviously have different opinions.  Don't get your pantyhose in a knot.  I've only used this script for a very short time and I guess I just have amazing searching skills.  I've alway found answers by searching these forums, or using google.

I just tried this and it worked.


Find this line in join.php (approx Line 391):



list( $iMemID, $sStatus ) = $oPC -> createProfile( $aProfile );





Insert this line after it:



$dump = db_res("INSERT INTO FriendList SET `ID` = '{$iMemID}', `Profile` = 1, `Check` = 1");



The profile number needs to be whatever number your "Tom profile" number is.

This works for new members only!!! It is not retroactive!!!



If you have members already and want to add your "Tom profile" to current members, run an SQL query on your database as such:



INSERT INTO FriendList SET `ID` = '2', `Profile` = 1, `Check` = 1"),

INSERT INTO FriendList SET `ID` = '3', `Profile` = 1, `Check` = 1"),

INSERT INTO FriendList SET `ID` = '4', `Profile` = 1, `Check` = 1"),

INSERT INTO FriendList SET `ID` = '5', `Profile` = 1, `Check` = 1"),

INSERT INTO FriendList SET `ID` = '6', `Profile` = 1, `Check` = 1"),

INSERT INTO FriendList SET `ID` = '7', `Profile` = 1, `Check` = 1");


This is an example of inserting your "Tom profile" into members 2 to 7. Make sure that your ID numbers match actual member ID numbers and that the profile number match your "Tom profile" or you will get an SQL error or improper database additions.

 I just like getting under people's skin..... you seemed like an easy mark.

Oh well..... I guess everyone should have an imaginary friend like Tom.

Houston, are you saying that Tom is not real?  He is my only friend on MySpace!

A bit like this you mean, doing a search on the forum, hey presto in 2 seconds flat

Search is a wonderful thing you know. (sarc)

Tyke, you are a genius! 

I think I hurt alph's itty bitty feelings.  I should sign up for some sensitivity training.

I just noticed that line breaks are appearing correctly in forum posts (sob) .... I'm getting all teary-eyed.

Ya know, After spending years online I still fail to see why some people have to act like complete jerks torwards people and just waste time instead of actually helping. Really makes you wonder....

Anyway... Glad I could help.

Yeah....... people around here are real assholes.

 Don't worry.  The doctor sez I'm much better now.  I was having recurring dreams about all the numbnuts in the Boonex forums that don't know how to use a search form.  The medication seems to be helping. 

Good lord!  Alpha, the LAST thing this forum needs is another drama queen!
