Zoints Thread Tags - GREAT for SEO

[class101]

Have been searching the rules for lighttpd in the thread and no one figured out yet to post lighttpd rewrite rules ?? OMG

[LBSources]

When trying to apply the showthread_similarthreadbit changes I'm getting the following error ..


The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '"', expecting ']' in /home/techn/public_html/tal/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3596) : eval()'d code on line 3

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

The code to remove is
<td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[left]"><if condition="$simthread['issubscribed']"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/subscribed.gif" alt="" title="$vbphrase[you_are_subscribed_to_this_thread]" />&nbsp;</if><span class="smallfont"><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$simthread[threadid]" title="$simthread[preview]">$simthread[title]</a></span></td>
The code to add is
<td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[left]"><if condition="$simthread['issubscribed']"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/subscribed.gif" alt="" title="$vbphrase[you_are_subscribed_to_this_thread]" />&nbsp;</if><span class="smallfont"><a href="<if condition="$show['zointsurl']">$simthread[zointsurl<else />showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$simthread[threadid]</if>" title="$simthread[preview]">$simthread[title]</a></span></td>

I'm running 3.6.8 PL2

Any ideas?

[Strike3ForumsMH]

I'd post it over at network.zoints.com, but I don't believe you can put an if condition within <a href="

tag system is going to be default from vb 3.7. on.
If you are runging zoints tag and wish to switch to default tag system, please support my request with comment :) here

yes we need that :)

[Strike3ForumsMH]

Please, unless you have questions pertaining to Zoints Thread Tags or need support for Zoints Thread Tags, discuss it on another thread. We need to keep this on topic for those who do need help with Zoints Thread Tags.

Thanks!

I want to uninstall this, how can I? It still shows database errors when I have removed the plugin..

[Strike3ForumsMH]

So you uninstalled the product, did you remove the files as well? Also, providing what the database error will help either myself or the engineer I notify of this as there is not a lot of information to go off from.

Thanks.

- Reid

[mtlcore]

The error is that the table does not exist.

[class101]

then try reinstalling with ovewritte and uninstall it again

Anyone figure out how to get $tagcloud working on a vbulletin custom page, plus forum home custom location?

[SBlueman]

I was just wondering if anyone had figured out how to make the post icons show in the tag results pages. This was talked about in post #741 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1379047&postcount=741) to #745 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1379047&postcount=745)

:confused::confused::confused::confused:

[SpadMan]

@ Zoints:



I have the same problem. How i fix that?
I think you fix that in October 2006?

I have the same problem. the replacement just don't work with the ajax tag saving on showthread. On newthread.php and editpost.php they work!

Here's what I did to work around the umlauts problem. I modified my Character Replacements list:

Before:
? ae
? AE
? oe
? OE
? ue
? UE
? ss

After:
? ae
? AE
? oe
? OE
? ue
? UE
? ss
u00e4 ae
u00C4 AE
u00d6 oe
u00D6 OE
u00fc ue

Hope this helps,

I still get database errors when i Uninstalled it....is it because of search engine hits???

[Amenadiel]

Have been searching the rules for lighttpd in the thread and no one figured out yet to post lighttpd rewrite rules ?? OMG

this worked for me, it has to be inserted among your other url.rewrite rules (not url.rewrite-once).

"^/foro/tags/(.+)/([0-9]+)/$" => "/foro/tags/index.php?tag=$1&page=$2",
"^/foro/tags/(.+)/$" => "/foro/tags/index.php?tag=$1",
"^/foro/tags/$" => "/foro/tags/"

of course, match /foro/ to your forum path

No guarantees, but I will have a bit of free time coming up and I will spend some time tinkering to see if I can't get that to work. I have to think there is some kind of problem with a hardcoded file, which I likely won't be able to fix, but should I figure out anything I will let you know.

Thanks for posting this Scott!

Ah, that makes sense, I was thinking of something totally different (that you or your users were somehow witnessing database errors while viewing the forum.) Tags do get linked to search engines and to your sitemap if you do a few modifications, as well as sent to Zoints.com (should you have chosen that), so they will be accessed even when uninstalled.

this worked for me, it has to be inserted among your other url.rewrite rules (not url.rewrite-once).

adding tags in showthread doesnt work

[Strike3ForumsMH]

adding tags in showthread doesnt work
There are a few simple things that could be the culprit.

First could you please disable AJAX tag submission if enabled to see if that corrects the problem? This can be done by logging into your Admin CP, clicking options for Thread Tags and selecting yes for the Disable Ajax Tag Submission option.

Merry Christmas Konstantinos.

- Reid

[Konstantinos]

merry xmas to u also. hmm in zoints thread tags settings there is no ajax settings , do u mean somewhere else ? in the screenshots it also doesnt seem to be anywhere

also how do i add forum jump in tag cloud page and in /index.php/tagname

[Strike3ForumsMH]

Thanks for the holiday wishes.

And you're right, I was mistaken on the AJAX but I sent you a PM regarding this so please check it out.

As for adding a forum jump, edit the templates zointstag_tagcloud and zointstag_viewtag.

beware this version has a critical vulnerability, my recommandation is to disable it waiting for a new fixed version if you do not wish to see all your popular tags gone

if that's about the security bug you can just disable it temporarily trough the admincp pluginmanager but else cant help you, try reinstalling it and reuninstalling it , that could solve such probs sometimes

Just so the rest of the people here know, we have not had the chance to test this yet and verify it. I moved class's post at network.zoints.com to a private forum so we can learn what he is talking about (as he mentioned). If however you want to stay on the side of caution, make sure to just disable the product and not uninstall it, and then check back to see if we have anything to report with this bug or a fix.

I uninstalled this mod, but I am getting database errors from it.
Search engines are likely trying to find pages that no longer exist (ie /tags/tagname), I imagine that is how the errors are popping up if it is like past problems. If you have a specific error to report from the log (that seems to be different than what I am saying), let me know.

Hi chadi,

Please check your PM's.

Oh and Merry Christmas everyone! I've been a bit busy over the past few days (with the holidays and my birthday), but I plan to look into SB's problem further. Oh and if anyone needs support, it'll likely be a bit slower than usual so just be patient (we all are attempting to check in on needed support though when we can break away from our families. :p)

Upgrade went OK, thanks. Saw this hole reported yesterday, so great work on the fast response.

[class101]

good job :)

[FleaBag]

My URL's on tag results all seem to work with vBSEO now aswell? Not sure if this is related or not, as I'm sure they retained standard vB format previously. The last post URL appears incorrect, but still forwards to the correct post.

What are the steps to upgrade? Nothing was mentioned in the README file. I also noticed the product xml file was titled "product-zointstags-1.2.1", even though the product is 1.2.2.

[Zoints]

What are the steps to upgrade? Nothing was mentioned in the README file. I also noticed the product xml file was titled "product-zointstags-1.2.1", even though the product is 1.2.2.

You can upgrade by re-importing the product xml file (and checking the overwrite setting during import) and just overwrite the /tags/index.php file on your server with the one included in the new zip file.

Thanks for noticing the 1.2.1 on the product files - it will be amended and we will also add an UPGRADE.txt file in the zip as well.

[class101]

Btw keep it up maintaining all the great stuffs that are not in vbulletin tag system because I think your plugin could receive lots of new users that are not very happy with the too basic system built now in vbulletin

The "Search" popular tags cloud implemented in vb3.7 is an interesting feature for example that could be implemented in the zoints plugin one :)

[class101]

yes of course 1.2.2 is ok, most important thing to do is to replace tags/index.php and reimport the product xml to add a plugin managing CSS/templates definitions for the nopermission page.

Thanks for update ..

but still it has Bug . i have many numbers in my Tags page , when i want to delete them i got this :
There are currently 0 threads tagged with the word "". Are you sure you want to delete it? This process cannot be undone.

Sure;

http://www.dragonninja.co.uk/tags/aberdare/

All links are SEO'd (at least the ones I have set to be in vBSEO). You'll see the last post link is formatted a little incorrectly, as below for example;

http://www.dragonninja.co.uk/29422/dapper-fm-tune-in-now/474487/#post474487

It correctly forwards to the correct URL though;

http://www.dragonninja.co.uk/29422/dapper-fm-tune-in-now/#post474487

I remembered I had tried an earlier plugin, but it never worked for me for some reason - this may still be present, although I remember it never worked for last post URL's.

You could check in my forum , I 've applied this patch to rewrite zoints links with vbseo and they appear and works correctly

It seems you're right. I'm sure they didn't work before lol.

I don't have to search the thread for the updated version right? He updated it in the mod post right?
Yep, whenever we update the files we just update the original post which is seen at the top of every page.

Also make sure to check your PM's xcingix.

This is still a bug Mecho, the release yesterday was to correct a permissions problem. We however are aware of the problem and I will make sure to remind the engineers of it for the next release.

I wanted to comment on this separately so it wouldn't be lost above. We appreciate the support class though and the suggestion. I am not an engineer so I can't comment on whether we can do that or not, but it would certainly be cool (I thought of the same thing quite awhile ago.)

Just installed the update and now all users can now only update their own thread tags? So admins and moderators can't even delete tags from threads.

Hi Darat,

Like I posted over at network.zoints.com, please open up a support ticket as we are not experiencing that with the forums we installed on or have heard from others with a similar problem. We would love to figure out why you are experiencing this though and solve it for you.

[Darat]

Will do - thanks.

[DJ PİSAGOR]

Thank u for all comments :)
Because my all tags is deleted.
Thank u every think.

[wraggster]

Hi all ive installed this last night and for someone who isnt that good with php it was damn easy.

The installation went perfect and i have tons of Tags now - did the option to tag old thread

I have a question :)

At DCEmu UK we use VBulletin forums as news forums for over 20 of our sites (works great too) is there a way to include tags in the newsposts and also the tag cloud on the sites .

It would be an excellent way to get new visitors to the site.

Anyway thanks for a great mod and a damn easy to install one :)

[Strike3ForumsMH]

To be honest, I am not really for sure wraggster. Unless the code was changed, I believe it uses the variables such as the tagcloud to call upon the database it's attached to... so unless the database was shared among the forums I don't know if it's possible. Then again, this is a bit beyond my expertise, if you try asking over at network.zoints.com you might get a bit more confident answer from one of our engineers... but I do believe that it is not something easily done right out the box.

Glad to hear you love the tags though. :)

Just wondering if anyone had a chance to look into this request.

You could possibly add censorship options to this or integrate with vbulletin's censorship system. I think that would be nice.

Great mod...!!!
Thank you...!!! :-)
I am using the tag system for a few days and everything seems to be ok...!!!
But Today I "tagged" one thread with key-words in Greek Language (my forum is in Greek Language) and i found out that I can't Save the tags written in Greek language...!!!
This is an issue..!!! Can this be fixed? How can I put tags in my threads both in English and Greek Language? Why is this happening?
(what I mean is that the thread is saved normally as usual without any problem but the tags themselves can't be saved because they are in Greek language) :-(

[ajm4481]

not really sure how to change the font colour of the TAG word itself.. I was hoping to change it from grey which happens to be the colour of my boards ^^ to red instead so that its more visable. Thanks for any help

Do you have AJAX turned on for the submit tags vbob? If I recall correctly, there is an issue with that and foreign characters so try disabling AJAX to see if you can then submit a tag with foreign characters.

Hi ajm,

I am pretty sure it just follows the colors you have designated as link colors in your style. If you go to your style manager, try editing some of the zointstags_ templates to see if you can't change it there, you should be able to.

[GuaRRand]

i would LUV to have this on my forum, only when i read the install instructions it kinda blew my mind.
I am no noob in forum management, but this just went straight over my head and out the window.

Any chance that someone here with more knowledge (shouldnt be that hard :D ) who can help me implement this?

[Strike3ForumsMH]

Hi there GuarRRand,

I can help you out, no problem. Let me know what step you are having trouble on or any specific things that confused you that I might be able to clarify.

Strike3ForumsMH (Thanks for your help)
but...I disabled AJAX but still don't work with Greek Characters/words....
It didn't work...!!!:(

[Strike3ForumsMH]

Hey vbob,

Foreign characters with thread tags have never been my specialization, but please open up a support ticket with us and we'll see if we can't troubleshoot it (or at least get some info so we can solve in the future.) I don't know if it's dependent on the language or not, but it seems to be hit or miss.

- Reid

[vbob]

I've got Extra information for the problem. :-)
Today, i tagged a thread with the keywords "email, e-mail, mail" (Only English)
The Tagged result was the above:
"email, e mail, mail" (it chopped the leter "-" in the word "e-mail" and replaced it with a space character)

So, because the character "-" of the word "e-mail" is not a Greek character, I believe that the problem is not in foreign Languages. I am considering that the problem's root, is something else and not a foreign language problem or maybe a language problem plus something else. :-)

(My forum is vbulletin 3.6.8 PL2 and vbadvanced v.3.00)

I hope I helped a little bit more in "decompiling" the problem. :-)
Thank you a priori for your answer.

ps. if someone use the mod and using another language than English in his boards, please give us a feedback if the mod works with other languages or not, so we can locate the problem easier. Thank you. :-)

[Strike3ForumsMH]

If you log into your vB Admin CP, click Zoints Thread Tags and then Options, there is a section called Character Replacements in which you can have a set of characters to be replaced by a safe equivalent so the URL structure isn't broken.

Then it's quite possible that at this time it won't work with Hebrew characters. I am really sorry I haven't been of more help, but I haven't experienced any tickets with a user wanting to use Thread Tags in Hebrew.... so it's uncharted waters for me.

If I think of something or stumble upon something, I'll let you know.

Are you using the public release version of 1.22 or a private beta version 1.35? If it is the one you downloaded from here, 1.22, that isn't possible at this time. In future versions, it should be though.

Are you using the public release version of 1.22 or a private beta version 1.35? If it is the one you downloaded from here, 1.22, that isn't possible at this time. In future versions, it should be though.

I have a question, and I would appreciate some very serious and honest answers


How well does this really work and does it really improve site visits and crawling?

My personal observation is it looks ascetically unappealing with all those tags at the base of your forum, but that is just me.

I am trying to start a new site and really am bent to know end to get of off the ground and search able. So I am really wondering if this is simple "Snake Oil" No offense is intended

when I had zoints tags installed all it did was add tons of duplicate content in the search engine results :(
I got little to zero traffic from the zoints network.

I think "snake oil" is a bit harsh. But it does help some with crawling, depending on your setup and how well indexed you already are.... and for some like Loco it does not. Just like any option regarding SEO improvements, it's not one size fits all or a guaranteed traffic boom and love fest with Google (many who use vBSEO can attest to that) but for many it does help some or else we wouldn't have the number of installs we do have. I personally can't say whether or not it would be for you, but if you desire it just for SEO purposes and dislike many aspects of it, it might not be the best solution for you. While SEO is a component it is not the sole component as thread tagging is also really geared at connecting threads for users with the whole web 2.0 search concept in mind.

Thanks so much for the answer, :up: I figured as much :o

Unfortunatly, there is so much out there to give your the "IMPRESSION" of such claims, I have determined that it is indeed, it is not something I will invest any time or money in. I have seen some time determined results with as you satated Zero Traffic.

Strike3ForumsMH
I make no apology for the use of snake oil, i stated very clearly "No offense is intended" I totally understand how you may take that as an attack, but that is not my issue. My issue is the question I posed, does it work? I appreciate your candid reply and hope the best with your efforts on the product and the best of luck to who ever buys the product.

[Mark.B]

If you're looking for tons of traffic from the Zoints network, in my experience that simply doesn't happen. I don't think Zoints is big enough yet.

If you are not currently very well indexed, then the tags can certainly help. They also provide a potentially more efficient means of searching the forums, depending on how well you use them.

I have stuck with them into 3.7, despite 3.7 having a built in tags system, because this one has the ability to auto-tag threads based on the thread titles....vital if, like me, you have members who would probably never tag their own threads.

The good old fashion way is content, content and more content, along with word of mouth and making it know at aother sites.

I do not believe for one moment that any one peice is the golden egg. Zoints can be a good thing, so can vbseo, I am just not convinced yet. I went as far as spednign the $300 with yahoo on another site (I guess thats hwy they call it yahoo) yahoo's like me :eek:

I know you meant no offense by it, but I stated my opinions regarding the comment as it is a free product that a lot of us believe in so I can't help but feel a little bias. Thanks the well wishes though, I wish nothing the best with the start of your new forum.

Mark makes some good points here. The traffic from Zoints.com will certainly vary, due to the size of the network itself and the popularity of the tags you have (for instance for my baseball forum, traffic rose in October from Zoints.com.) And tags are a really great way for members to search, if the forum threads are consistently and appropriately tagged of course.

Yep, Zoints Thread Tags is certainly not the golden egg but for some it can help with SEO purposes and for all it can help with internal site search for the members. Whether you use Thread Tags or not, I hope you find a solution that is right for your forums JWL.

I am a bit spaced right now due to too many exams and too much work, so I can't recall if there is a specific fix for that error number but if memory serves me right.... I believe those are due to the tags system still being indexed with search engines and those engines following up on now dead links.

We did put out a security fix, still support the product and have plans for it's future so it's not a dead idea, but to each their own. You can continue using tags on vB 3.70 over their now included take on tags, but if you prefer to go with what comes with it I hope it meets your expectations jeddah.

I can help you out, no problem. Let me know what step you are having trouble on or any specific things that confused you that I might be able to clarify.

Ok thanks alot.
I'm gonna give it a shot tomorrow evening. if i run into anything and dont knock myself out, i'll let you know.

Ok, with a bit of a delay, i installed it.

I got a question (which might already been answered, but its alot to read int his topic, so here goes)

1. when i enable the product, instead of the tags at the bottom of pages, i get my navbar, imagethumbnails (from photoplog) and such.
(see attached image)

If you could help me with this prob, i think it'll work fine.

thanks

[GuaRRand]

nvm. i disabled "automatic template update" and am now doing it manually through readme.

Only thing that doesnt work atm is this:

d) The tag entry field does not show up when editing threads through the first post

<!-- / subject field -->
==== BELOW, ADD ============================

There is an importer, I can't vouch for it, but it is here on vbulletin.org so just search for it.

As for the "same tagging," that's not entirely true as both offer some unique things. Some prefer vBulletin's take, others still prefer Zoints Thread Tags.

If so, could you please open up a support ticket with us and provide a link to your forums, a regular temporary user account and a temporary admin account (no need to worry about special permissions for now, I would just want the ability to see what it is like as a user and what it is like as an admin.)

I can't explain your SEO setup or what you have done in the past, but I do know that a quite prominent site was calling out to us in panic last month due to a problem with his .htaccess file (he moved servers IIRC) and the absence of Thread Tags working like they did was hurting him. Now of course I can't say that it will work for everyone as there are a lot of unique situations to consider, but I can assure you that many (not all) usually have fair success with it. If it proves to be too detrimental to your forums, then I apologize and I hope you can find an appropriate solution.

I know it is that the table doesn't exists.. which it shouldn't.. because it was uninstalled, however.. I have searched my styles for anything to do with zoints or tags and can not figure out why this is called.


SOLUTION: Figured it out. Needed to remove the directory '/tags/' and the files in it under the forum root directory.

Hey kube,

It sounds as if AJAX is not working. Could you please login to your Admin CP, go to Options for Zoints Thread Tags and set Disable AJAX Submission to Yes? If you do, let me know the results. I know that the AJAX has had some problems for some (and needs to be rewritten) so that might be it.

Hi nicky,

The character sets Thread Tags display are pretty limit from what I've seen (based on the problems with some) but sadly it seems like Hebrew is one of the sets that have difficulty working. Possibly someone has gotten it to work on their own, but I wouldn't know about that.

Sorry.

It seems with the introduction of security tokens in 3.7 RC4 I am unable to submit new thread tags.

[T3G4Life]

how do you set permissions for this?

[Mondi]

Just before installing this - can the tags be placed within a vbAdvanced module on my CMPS homepage?

If so, any suggestions on how to achieve this. Ideally I'd like the module to be integrated on all pages.

I'll wait for a response before proceding.

Cheers.

Yes it will be. I don't know when, but some progress has been made on it and the engineers will complete that next as it is the next item on the agenda.

Thanks for letting me know. I just informed the engineers so hopefully they can find a quick solution (I know the updates have been slow, but we have tried to put out fixes for problems as quick as we could.) I'll let you all know once I hear from them, I am frankly not aware of how complicated a fix like this would or wouldn't be.

how do you set permissions for this?
For this version, there really aren't any. The beta version which has floated around for some time does have it though so it will make the next release.

Alright, I just heard back from the engineers. Our engineer Danny will be working on this tonight, so hopefully he will have a new version that works with the latest 3.70 in the next day or two!

I have two problems, first in my navbar, the tag buttom is show badly, how to say, like no other button on the templeto so it looks ugly.. its a bigger sqare than the others.

Second when you click a tag in the popular tag or any tag, it dont shows you any thread.. it goes to other page , and shows you the search tag box...

[Zoints]

Version 1.2.3 has been uploaded. Adding new tags should now work with the CSRF protocol. Please post if you have any issues.

Also...some reported problems with the AJAX addition/deletion of tags on showthread form for vB 3.7...this was working fine for me with 3.7 Gold. If you are still having issues with vB 3.7 gold, please let us know.

You can add and delete tags ok on 3.7, but the AJAX part does not work...it simply does a full page reload.

PS the file attached is still 1.2.2.

Sorry - I am rewriting the JS and then will reupload

Excellent - thanks. It'll be good to get the AJAX working again, gives it a professional edge.

I'm afraid the default tag system in vb 3.7 is simply not as effective as the Zoints one. Primarily it lacks the ability to automatically tag old threads, vital if you have users who would never add tags themselves in a million years.

IM Still with the problem , i upgrade the zoint xml. But when i click on a tag it dont shows me the related threads...

Hi balance,

Log-in to your vB Admin CP. From there go into the style manager and select to Edit Templates of your desired style. Scroll to the bottom of the templates to $zointstags_searchform

At this line:
<div><input type="text" class="bginput" name="search" size="25" />$gobutton</div>

Edit the 25 number until you hit upon the right size. I can't tell you want that number is as I don't know what it looks like (and even then, it would be guesswork. But just play with it until you get it.

IM Still with the problem , i upgrade the zoint xml. But when i click on a tag it dont shows me the related threads...
Your problem is unrelated to the need for an upgrade. Please submit a ticket at http://zoints.com/support.z and we can then try to poke around to help you out and see what is wrong.

Thanks for the feedback Mark, we appreciate it. If you have any ideas of how to make Thread Tags better, don't hesitate to share them with us at network.zoints.com in our Feedback forum. Like I mentioned, we will likely be putting out a small features upgrade after we complete our current project, but we're always looking for what is truly needed by the average forum admin and what he would need to make his forum better with tags.

Thanks for the Quick help , I have created a support ticket.

But related to the button, whatever the number I put, nothing change in the button, even if i put 0....

[Strike3ForumsMH]

Hmm. Maybe I am a bit fuzzy on that. It would be best if someone other than myself helped you with the ticket you opened, but I usually resolve most style issues so if you opened up a separate ticket that also provided account details for a temporary admin account with style permissions, I could try to resolve that for you later today.

Uhm, where ist 1.2.3 could only find 1.2.2, so i can't upgrade to vbulletin 3.6.10 or 3.7

Is there a Howto to fix Threadtags anyway?

regards, Masterix

[Mark.B]

1.2.3 needs some work on the AJAX so it's not up yet.

You *can* upgrade to 3.6.10 or 3.7.0....if the security token stuff isn't added to the tag templates automatically (mine was!) you can add it yourself. Other than that, the only thing that doesn't work is adding and removing tags using AJAX....however, you can still add and remove them as normal, it's just that the whole page will reload when you do it, no big problem really. It would just be the same sort of thing as if you turned off AJAX on quick reply and then submitted a reply.

[jacki]

Version: 1.2.3 !!!!
downlaod version 1.2.2 ?

[Mark.B]

1.2.3 isn't out yet....they put it up briefly but the AJAX still wasn't done, I understand it's being worked on currently.

Just upgraded VB to 3.7.0 and latest Zoints tag (as of today).

I now get this error when submitting new tags:

I get the same problem as chadi above~ :) Any input would be highly appreciated.

[Chadi]

After doing the upgrade to 3.7 and playing around with the new functions, is Zoints tag mod even necessary anymore? Perhaps I'm missing something, but the default new vbulletin tags feature is pretty much the same. If that's 100% true, any possible import from Zoints to the default tag system?

I'm also getting this error after upgrading to 3.7.0

Will a Zoints update be released? I'd like to keep the Zoints thread tags if at all possible, as I prefer them to the vB tag system.

How do I get the subject field and zoints tag field in one row? I cannot find the code in the newreply / newthread templates.

Also, it would be nice if Zoints once and for all finally supported global tags (custom locations), especially various font sizes.

Where is it (instructions)? I cannot find it, sorry. I'm only aware of the official tags.php page

the default tag clouds that show up on forum display and thread display.

How about change to utf-8? I want to type vietnamese language. Thanks for support!

[SBlueman]

Ok...so I am looking at the tags/index.pho file looking for ways to edit the order posts are displayed. I want to display them in order by first post with the newest listed first. By default the threads are listed by last post. So I am looking at the code and find some places this can be edited in the file.....

This spot in the file:
$count = $count['count'];
$orderby = 'lastpost';
$direction = 'DESC';

I bet if I change 'lastpost' it will pop out the results I am looking for....I just don't know what it needs to be changed to....and I am wondering if this is the file that I need to edit to display the correct post icons...

So can anyone help with this? Thanks in advance.

I am not for sure what they'll do, but with Zoints Local, the upcoming version is much easier to convert to other languages so I know the engineers will look at that for the future with tags.

Hi SB,

Danny, one of our engineers, suggested to try changing $direction to 'ASC'

- Reid

[SBlueman]

Shouldn't the $orderby be changed to something that refers to the first post? I want them to descend after that, I just want it to descend in order by first post, not last post.

And any word on what to do to display the correct post icons?

[Strike3ForumsMH]

I really don't know to be honest. It would probably be best to open up a thread at network.zoints.com and talk it over with Danny.

As for the other issue, no work that I know of. I know they are about done with getting tags perfectly compatible with 3.7x so I don't think they have worked much on the features.

- why they removed the .zip and put it back?
There was some confusion at the time, but this is my understanding.

1) 3.6 users need to use the 3.6 version but I now don't know if that has CSRF in it or not. The original copy of version 1.2.2 obviously didn't, but I don't know if the copy that's up there now has changed.

2) 3.7 users like myself who DON'T want to convert to the vB tagging system found that although Zoints tags still worked in 3.7, the AJAX was broken, causing full page reloads whenever you submit or remove a tag. Thbe 3.7 version fixes this and presumably the CSRF.

I cannot confirm the CSRF in 3.7 since when I upgraded, vBulletin's automatic system inserted all the CSRF lines in Zoints for me without any action on my part. But I would assume it's done.

Zoints need to come and clear this up really.

[Zoints]

3.6.10 users - apply this patch, and the CSRF issues should be fixed.

The 1.2.2 zip included in this thread is only for 3.6.9 and LOWER as per the changelog.

[iogames]

Aaah! some closure!

[Strike3ForumsMH]

Just to clear up a few other things. Yes, vBulletin does have their own tag system for 3.7 but each system does provide some different things of interest for forum owners. I apologize I couldn't be of much help but frankly after the ensuing posts, I was a bit confused myself.

As for the file removal, I am not sure how that happened to be honest and no one else is. When I saw your post io, I rushed to get that back up as it definitely is still a viable solution to tagging.

Sorry about the difficulty and I'll make sure to get someone to post the patch in the first post (or in the zip itself) to avoid further confusion. Thanks for being patient.

We're gearing up to release another modification this week, but we have had a beta version of tags floating around for quite some time with that feature. I would expect on the next update to Thread Tags that this will be included. I can't guarantee it, but there is a very good chance.

If you have vB Advanced, you can search out a module for tags that allows you to have it on your portal.

If those messages are coming by email, as opposed to you yourself seeing them when browsing the forums, then what's probably happening is that people are finding links to your site in Zoints tag format on Google, but when they click them, they generate a database error as you've uninstalled the modification.

I have been thinking about this issue for if I ever moved to the built in tags, and I reckon the only way to solve this without having dead links in search engines would be to keep Zoints Tags installed but edit the templates/plugins so that the tag boxes etc don't show up. That way all new tags would be done via the vB system, but any old Zoints tags links in Google etc would still work.

After a time Google should start indexing the new tag links and then you'd be able to fully uninstall.

Possibly an alternative might be some kind of mod rewrite but it'd be messy, if it was even possible.

[Strike3ForumsMH]

Mark is correct. If you are getting that through email notifications of errors, then likely that is what is happening. Zoints Thread Tags were designed to help with your SEO efforts and on any decently large site, those tag pages often get indexed and Google will check for them later. Based on our understanding of it, there is not much we can help you with in that regard.

This is exactly what I have done - we'd been using Zoints tags since it was released so it has been well indexed by the various search engines. Overall I've been quite pleased with Zoints tags but I always prefer, if at all possible, to use a built-in version of a feature so I decided to move over to the built-in version. (I still prefer Zoints tags, if I was rating it I'd give it a 7 out of 10 for ease of use and features and the built-in one only a 5.)

I've stripped Zoints tags out of all the templates and removed all direct links to it but left it working in the background and it appears to work fine, old indexed links via Zoints tags are still valid so no page errors.

eval('$tagcloudbits .= "' . fetch_template('zointstags_forumdisplay_tagbit') . '";');
$firsttag = false;
}

Replace with:
foreach ($tags as $tag => $tagcount)
{
$size = 50 + round(($tagcount-$min) / $max * 100);

$zointstag_link = str_replace(' ', '-', $tag);

eval('$tagcloudbits .= "' . fetch_template('zointstags_forumdisplay_tagbit') . '";');
$firsttag = false;
}


Also, you can replace the "50" in:
$size = 50 + round(($tagcount-$min) / $max * 100);
to make the clouded tags smaller or larger


Step 2:
Go to: AdminCP >> Style Manager >> Edit Templates

Customize this template: zointstags_forumdisplay_tagbit

Find:
<a href="$tagsurl/$zointstag_link/" rel="tag">$tag</a>

Replace with:
<a href="$tagsurl/$zointstag_link/" rel="tag" style="font-size: $size%">$tag</a>


And that's it.. you're done!

Happy hacking.

Thanks a lot for sharing that Remulon. I am on the 3.6x version myself so I might check that out. :)

I am looking to make some changes:

1. I'd like to remove the thread author name from appearing under the headline
2. I'd like to change the header of the third column to read "Posted" instead of "Last Post"
3. I'd like to display the thread author and thread creation date and time instead of the last post date and time and last post author.

Example: http://gridironfans.com/forums/tags/topstory/
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

What needs to be changed in /forums/tags/index.php to make this happen?

I have a question. Zoints has a character replacement system but I don't want to character replacements. I want to use turkish character in tags.

just like this thread's tags

http://www.rehberim.net/forum/temel-hastaliklar-ve-tavsiyeler-353/98835-kan-sekeri-dustugunde-neler-yapilmalidir.html

but when I click the tag, special characters disappear.

kan ekeri dtnde neler yaplmaldr

actually, thera are some character in url. >

http://www.rehberim.net/forum/tags/index.php/kan-%C5%9Fekeri-d%C3%BC%C5%9Ft%C3%BC%C4%9F%C3%BCnde-neler-yap%C4%B1lmal%C4%B1d%C4%B1r/


how can I replace the characters with the turkish ones,

%C5%9Fekeri to şekeri.... no sekeri


Waiting for your answer.

Has anyone an idea ? The error is not adjustable !

[SBlueman]

I am having some major problems out of the blue....

When I go to a thread tag page like: http://gridironfans.com/forums/tags/Bills/

I am getting a white screen with this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 61324495 bytes) in /home/gridiron/public_html/forums/tags/index.php(429) : eval()'d code on line 63

I run a movie web site and the zoints tags keeps deleting much needed special characters " - , ' " which makes it darn difficult for users to find movie pages unless they know to strip out the special characters when doing a search. Is There a fix for this?

[firattetik]

thanks :)

Hi guys, i have vbulletin 3.6.4, Zoints 1.2.1 and VBAdvanced 2.0.2.
I am currently having an issue with the tag's cloud in my homepage, as for every visitor, it generates again, genertaing lots and lots of very heavy queries, that kill my mysql.
Do you know how could i make a cache of the cloud content, and generate it, for example, every 6 hours ? I just want to cache the tag cloud, not generate it again for every user

Thanks
