On my website, several tons of spammers want to register new malicious accounts every day! I think everyone's website should be the same.
In the dolphin system, you can search the "join.php" in Apache's access_log, you will see a lot of logs... spammers want to register new account records...
In the UNA system, you can search the "page.php" in Apache's access_log,
How do we completely prevent, block and kill spammers?
observe the access_log record, you will see that all spammers will not browse your website, like your website, spammers just want to register a new account!
Well, You know, spammers will directly open the registration page and paste random registration information...
so we just add this code in front of join.php for Dolphin 7.4.2:
/**
* Copyright (c) BoonEx Pty Limited - http://www.boonex.com/
* CC-BY License - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
*/
define('BX_JOIN_PAGE', 1);
require_once('check-url.php');
check-url.php :
if (!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) || substr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], 12, 7) != 'insoler') {
echo '< html >
< meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" / >
< body >Hello World< /body > //You can put any welcome words
< /html >';
exit;
}
as long as spammers don't visit your website and directly open the registration page, they would only see a blank page with "Hello World" only!
This code will not affect the real "human" at all !
Why is 99.99% not 100% ?
Well, You know, even if spammers have hands, they can still use their hands to manually register a new account, post spam by manually...
My site is 100% no spammers for more than 8 years!
Need a demo?
Please go to my website :
or try this please :
Finally I upgraded the entire website to all new version for ultimate Dolphin 7.4.2!
📌 PHP 7.4.5
📌 ffmpeg version 4.4.2
📌 PHP 7.4.5 and Zend OPcache
📌 MySQL Community Server 8.0.20
📌 Use InnoDB and utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci or utf8mb4_bin
📌 TinyMCE 5.2.2
In the next step of having the ultimate dolphin, I think I should switch to UNA. don't wait for me, I'm coming...
I just upgrading to Dolphin 7.4.1. Next step I should start to study how to use dolphin_migration for migration dolphins to UNA.
But, on the UNA website, downloaded UNA 9 with only 4 modules. So I downloaded UNA on github:
UNA installer still forgot to detect http or https, If the site is already using https, we will see a messy page after the installation is complete.
The https://d.una.io is development demo has been down for more than a week...
it say...
Mysql error:
Unknown column 'bx_timeline_events.sticked' in 'order clause'
collation_connection:
utf8mb4_unicode_ci
so, this is the use MySQL Server 8.0.15??
If BOONEX wants Dolphin and UNA to be liked by many people, I recommend not trying to design a template for BOONEX Only ! Because the number of new templates is too few, even almost equal to zero...
BOONEX Should support the world's most popular template, Such as the WordPress template.
In this case, any website that uses UNA, there are countless more templates available today. Rather than going around to find a UNA-specific template that is hard to find.
OK - DIARY OF A NEW CUSTOMER !!
Today 2nd June. AM
Just signed up for the $50 + 50 plan (Apps & Hosting)
Impressed with the slick stripe payments. Its very good btw!
But apart from a 'Red Dot" in the Licence Field, I'm totally lost as to what to do now, or where to even look / go now !
I've so many questions now. I want to get started, i'm excited for sure, but I'm not been pointed in any specific direction.
First impressions - there are no obvious instructions to follow for a new user! At least nothing apparent to me, at first glance.
Like -
Where - do I go to "see' the back end of my potential new website?
Can - I start to experiment, build an "off-line' version, get my toes wet, see how it look and feels before going live?
What - happens now?
Today 2nd June. PM
Launching the launch window!!!!
OK - Licence Bought - Go to activate / Launch said Licence, and ran into problems with the correct naming of servers, again I feel the fact that I needed to summon Help to even activate the site was not good. Should be a case of; [ imput company name here ] & Click GO!! That said, getting help here, was super quick, through the UNA site. The new message alerts on my phone were also impressive, ditto for the UNA - device APP itself.
Overall
I feel the whole UNA "shop window' is very confusing indeed. I mean - I'm never quite sure whether I'm actually on my OWN SITE, or UNA's !!!! at any one time, it's very confusing, seriously. Suggest colour code, UNA have a different back round colour to own site.
Pricing
Probably be happy paying $100 p/m ok, (if I was actually making progress building a site) I'll talk about this in a while. In my opinion, having your 'business plan" priced at $800 a month (as it stands), when you can not tell me definitively, what exactly i will get for it!!! is plain pointless, to a small business, with a budget in mind!! Mind the Gap!! Big jump from $100 p/m to $800 p/m !!! My site could take anything from a few hours, to months to implement, and there is no apparent tangible way of telling me in advance, what it's going to cost me???, come on! and that's not workable for any business. Consider offering a "white label, ready to go template, out of the box, design and implementation for a set fee, payable per month, all I need to do is change the logo, up-load some pic's turn on/off the modules i want or need, and i'm LIVE!! A "definable feature package' memberships, forum, live chat, blog, photos etc for $xx per month, designed and implemented. That would interest me!
The Software itself
For sure, there is evidence of brilliance everywhere, Seeing how the template it looks and functions on my various devices, it's very impressive, the notifications everything, (on your own site that is! - UNA!) But the Achilles heal of the software is that it is designed by; Expert Tech geeks, for Competent Tech Geeks. If your not a programmer, your lost here. Its not for any "Idea Person" in my view. It's for a Competent Tech Geek, with an idea! In short - as it currently is - the software is not 'user-friendly" enough for the mass market your after. I've stated THIS as the standard you need to aim for ;-

The CMS is as easy to edit as a word doc, and modules and pages are simple ON/OFF options, money back guarantee, and outstanding tel support.
I feel, UNA would need to offer some form of "support" at the start in order to "be at the races" as a product. Assign each new customer of UNA, to an "angel" initially as part of the deal, supported via a "P.C anywhere" type support / with chat. Get um up and running with a revenue generating prod, and you have a good shot at retention. But after 1- DAY on this, I'm so far a little disappointed, I thought I would be able to do more for myself. I'll try again tomorrow!!
Just wondering, if anyone actually got a site up an running on this platform yet? TEST POST as well!
Hey,
I was never able to use the payments-module by Boonex on both platforms (Dolphin and UNA). I get the following error after a successful payment via PayPal (sandbox): TRANSACTION VERIFICATION FAILED.
In the logfile there are entries like:
05-16 16:18:26: Finalize Checkout Failed

)
Same error on different UNA and Dolphin installations. May it be a server thing?
I added a product here on UNA and created a new profile. I purchased my test product and it displayed the following message: PAYMENT IS NOT COMPLETED.
Is there something wrong or is it intended this way?
Currently:
NOT a favorite: filled heart
In favorites: empty heart
Imo it would be better to have an empty heart for "not favorites" and a filled heart for favorites (switch them).
So, if you like something it will be filled. If you don't like it, it'll be empty.
Or is there a reason for the current state?
