Recently we wrote a tutorial on how to install Dolphin, the community builder script on your own web host. It was for version 6.0.0002.

Patch #3 for Dolphin 6.0 has been released recently which effectively closes 75 tickets. Below you can find the instructions (both text and video) we followed to upgrade our Dolphin installation from version 6.0.0002 to version 6.0.0003.

1. Download Dolphin 6 Patch 0003 Free Version

2. Upload the contents over existing contents. An intelligent FTP client like FlashFXP will automatically take care of switching the directories and replacing the files. All you need to do is just drag everything and drop on the remote server contents.

3. Upgrade the database by going to http://<Dolphin Site>/upgrade.php.

4. Edit inc/header.inc.php.

a) Replace

$site['build'] = '0002';

with

$site['build'] = '0003';

NOTE: Log into your Admin Panel -> Settings -> Profile Fields and make sure that the DescriptionMe field is located under the Description divider. If it’s not there, drag it there using the green arrow icons.

b) Find

define(’DATABASE_NAME’, $db['db']);

Add the below after it:

$aUrl = parse_url( $site['url'] );  if( isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) and $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != $aUrl['host'] ) {      header( "Location:http://{$aUrl['host']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}" );      exit;  }

That’s it! Your Dolphin installation has been successfully upgraded.

We’ve recorded the upgrade process as a 3 minute video. You can watch it by clicking on the image below:

The above tutorial is based on the official instructions.
