Comments on: Boonex – bad programming example http://www.majauskas.com/boonex-bad-programming-example Wed, 18 Jan 2012 03:56:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Paul http://www.majauskas.com/boonex-bad-programming-example#comment-19336 Paul Wed, 03 Aug 2011 12:08:13 +0000 http://www.majauskas.com/?p=68#comment-19336 Got Dolphin 7.6 and so far so good. into final testing phase now. Only minor issue i have come across is with recording own videos. now for the real work to see if it can handle what i need. and i may consider buying it. a lot of tweaking server side is needed to get this script going and many hosts are just not up to it. This certainly is not the script for you unless you have a minimum of a VPS. The OP is dead right when he says dolphin is a mish mash and a little buggy, hey but it is fun! All the info is there to tweak it if you can't code; you just have to dig. Got Dolphin 7.6 and so far so good.

The script is now fully installed and EVRYTHING works very well. We did have a problem with videos uploads. This was a server issue due to crons not picking up the command. easily resolved. Apart from that all is perfect. We are now customizing the site and developing too. So far i would say this new 7.06 script is pretty much perfect. More later as we proceed. An Update.

Boonex free has been downloaded and set up. So far we have not found a single bug in the script. Ok the tests i have carried out have been very basic and we have as yet to start the customization, but so far all is 100% The next step is to customize, apply the license and remove all boonex ads etc and add a couple of extra features not in the script. At this point i am very impressed with how it all works. This may, however change as we proceed. An interim report.

I cannot quote on code exetra, out of my league sorry to say, but from an operational view it appears to work very well indeed. Many people do not seem to realise that the greater majority of script buyers are novices like myself and can only refer to how a script responds to our needs. Certainly this version of boonex appears to work quite well and apart from the store which i believe personally is quite basic, it is good value for money. I really have no option now so will give this a try and certainly will report back. If it doesnt work then all my plans for a decent social network site will have to die with me cause i dont have the money for a third attempt. So boonex, i am relying on you and a lot of help from that man upstairs. hehehehe I agree.

At first we thought that it is perfect for our requirements... but after starting developing we started seeing bugs, code inconsistencies and non-efficient behavior. While we had skills to handle anything Boonex threw at us (optimized the site speed multiple times, implemented things that weren't in boonex core and so on), it was no good. None of programmers that worked with Boonex at that point would like to develop a custom site with it again. However, I believe that code has been changed. I do not want to bash Boonex as it is now - I haven't seen the code. I just want to point out one thing: If stuff looks close to what one wants it does not mean it is close.

I am retired and living off a quite smal pension. I saved for over a year to buy a decent script that i as a relative novice could get customized and run. I had two choices. I aparently chose the wrong one and wasted 697 usd and now have a site that is very poor andfull of bugs. From what i am told these are mostly ajax based and browser compatibility. The only option i now have is spend an untold sum on getting a programmer to rectify the errors or take the boonex 99usd package and find someone who can customize the site for me. I have tried the boonex demo which fills almost all of my requirements and its appears to be relatively stable and quite good. A friend of mine is going to download the free version for me so i can give the script a good test under real time usage. Then if that script works for me, i will look for someone to customize the site and hopefully i will be up and running. What i do like is the free script for trial purposes so in one sense boonex does offer some hope for a novice like myself especially when the script has just about all i need. If theres a decent programmer who can design my sites theme, then please leave a link here for me to contact. But be aware. I have been scammed once (Now subject to an FBI investigation) so i will only pay the cost when i have a desing that works. Let me explain please. I am retired and living off a quite smal pension.

I have to agree on one: it depends on how much you expect to pay. Both for modules and/or for development time. Boonex was not a good choice for us, as it requires quite a lot of work for our goals (custom multiple profile sets and relationships) together with bad template structure (at that point). Maybe things have changed... Chris: Haven’t seen boonex code in a while (the post is quite old). I have to agree on one: it depends on how much you expect to pay.

To put it bluntly, its a complete mess and now the subject of a full IC3 investigation. As for other posts on here, how many promoting other scripts work for those companies. As for boonex, i have taken the free trial and whilst there are some minor issues overall its not too bad a script. It all comes down to what you want, how much you are prepared to pay and whether you have the skills to work on the site to make it how you want. I bought able soft oryx with unique design.

It seems like a nice script, but I get a error when you click some of the photos and there's a change I'd like to make when you click the Featured artists. I've written to the script developer several times and no response. If there's anyone who could help me with this, pls send me an email. Thx!
