Zoints LOCAL. Social networking, enhanced profiles, blogs and MUCH more

[Zoints]

Thanks for this nice software

is there any way of having branding free script ?

Regards,

Yes, you can purchase an unbranded license here (http://network.zoints.com/products.php).

I can look into providing you with instructions in how exactly to allow embedded code into your blogs since your members like such a feature, but it would be at your own risk.

Any word on this?

[jdelasko]

My Media is a completely different entity, it only allows only certain embed code to prevent any malicious code that could jeopardize your forum. The blog entries are a different story though, but we implemented HTMLPurifier to protect against any exploits....the My Media block does not use HTMLPurifier.

C'mon guys. This is driving me up the wall. The HTML Purifier bundled with the zoints package has a youtube filter that is supposed to allow embedding youtube videos.

Pretty please with sugar on top, can someone tell me how to make this work for blog posts?


Oh.... one more thing. The "My Media' block only allows one video to be embedded within the block??? I wouldn't call it useless, but it's close. All the more reason to tell me how to use youtube embedding. The docs on the HTML Purifier website that discuss youtube embedding do nothing but add to my frustration. They don't seem to think it's important to tell the end user exactly how to implement the feature. I guess I'm just suppposed to print the docs out, and sit on them.... maybe the knowledge will transfer to me via assmosis.

[Zoints]

My apologies. I had assumed that Anthony had contacted you privately with that information. I'll touch base with him right now on it!

Also, while the block is limited to one item, you can use as many different instances of the Media block as you want, so you can share as many media clips as you want.

Hi jdelasko, I am sorry I haven't gotten back to you. I have been very busy with some internal Zoints work and I haven't gotten time to sit down and look at the HTML Purifier code either in order to assist you in this. I will be able to take a peek at the code later this week probably fri. or sat. Again, I am sorry.

Thanks. I'd sure appreciate it. The docs on HTLMpurifier.org aren't much help.... most of the docs assume that the person reading them somehow magically can fill in the missing pieces. Here's a good example: http://htmlpurifier.org/dev/docs/enduser-youtube.html

They give an example of youtube filter code and then they make this statement:

And the corresponding usage:
<?php $config->set('Filter', 'YouTube', true); ?>

The above code/usage is the sum total of the directions they give on the implementation.

Hi, I am unable to get it working 100% yet but this what I have so far.

Step 1:
Make sure you have YouTube.php in /z/includes/HTMLPurifier/Filter/

Step 2:
Open /z/includes/external_auth/vbulletin36.php

Find:

$this->html_purifier =& new HTMLPurifier($config);

Add After:

require_once (ZDIR . '/includes/HTMLPurifier/Filter/YouTube.php');
$this->html_purifier->addFilter(new HTMLPurifier_Filter_YouTube());


Step 3:
Make sure /z/js/tiny_mce/plugins/media/ exists.

Step 4:
Open /z/includes/template/header.php

Find:

if(defined('SIMPLE_WYSIWYG')) {
$ret .= "<script language=\"javascript\" type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"{$prefix}js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js\"></script>
<script language=\"javascript\" type=\"text/javascript\">
tinyMCE.init({
mode : \"exact\",
elements : \"z_tinymce_editor\",
theme: \"simple\",
visual: \"true\",
width: \"650\"


});
</script>";


Replace with:

if(defined('SIMPLE_WYSIWYG')) {
$ret .= "<script language=\"javascript\" type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"{$prefix}js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js\"></script>
<script language=\"javascript\" type=\"text/javascript\">
tinyMCE.init({
mode : \"exact\",
elements : \"z_tinymce_editor\",
theme: \"simple\",
visual: \"true\",
width: \"650\",
plugins : \"media\",
theme_advanced_buttons1_add : \"media\",
cleanup: true


});
</script>";


Find:

$ret .= "<script language=\"javascript\" type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"{$prefix}js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js\"></script>
<script language=\"javascript\" type=\"text/javascript\">
tinyMCE.init({
mode : \"exact\",
elements : \"z_tinymce_editor\",
theme: \"advanced\",
visual: \"true\",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : \"top\",
theme_advanced_buttons1 : \"removeformat,separator,fontselect,fontsizeselect,s eparator,forecolor,separator, undo, redo\",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : \"bold, italic,underline,separator,justifyleft,justifycent er,justifyright,separator,bullist,numlist,outdent, indent, separator,link,image,blockquote\",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : \"\",
width: \"650\"


});
</script>";


Replace With:

$ret .= "<script language=\"javascript\" type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"{$prefix}js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js\"></script>
<script language=\"javascript\" type=\"text/javascript\">
tinyMCE.init({
mode : \"exact\",
elements : \"z_tinymce_editor\",
theme: \"advanced\",
visual: \"true\",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : \"top\",
theme_advanced_buttons1 : \"removeformat,separator,fontselect,fontsizeselect,s eparator,forecolor,separator, undo, redo\",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : \"bold, italic,underline,separator,justifyleft,justifycent er,justifyright,separator,bullist,numlist,outdent, indent, separator,link,image,blockquote\",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : \"media\",
width: \"650\",
plugins: \"media\",
media_types: \"swf\",
cleanup: true


});
</script>";


This will add a media button to the editor. From there you can point the url to youtube's video player for a specific video and you should be set. While the editor will let you post any type of swf media, HTMLPurifier will only allow youtube content. Posting object/embed directly does not work for initial submission. Previewing or editing will cause tiny mce to recognize it as a media file and process accordingly. That's really the only issue which I am looking into with Tiny MCE Support.

I get php errors when I add your code to /z/includes/external_auth/vbulletin36.php

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting T_FUNCTION in /home/major/public_html/forums/z/includes/HTMLPurifier/Filter.php on line 30

Below is the edited portion of my vbulletin36.php file:



if ($this->html_purifier === null)
{
require_once(ZDIR . '/includes/HTMLPurifier.auto.php');
$config =& HTMLPurifier_Config::createDefault();
$config->set('HTML', 'DefinitionID', 'external.php parse_text');
$config->set('HTML', 'DefinitionRev', 1);
$config->set('Core', 'Encoding', 'ISO-8859-1');
$this->html_purifier =& new HTMLPurifier($config);
require_once (ZDIR . '/includes/HTMLPurifier/Filter/YouTube.php');
$this->html_purifier->addFilter(new HTMLPurifier_Filter_YouTube());
}

I had already addded the media plugin to Tinymce, as well as a few other plugins. Can you attach your vbulletin36.php, header.php, and YouTube.php files so that I can make a detailed comparison to my own files?

There are some differences between the YouTube.php file that is included in the Zoints release and the standard YouTube.php that comes with HTMLPurifier.

[AN-net]

here are my files. shouldn't be different.

[jdelasko]

OK!

I had made an edit in Filter.php that was messing things up and as soon as I reverted the file to the original version, everything was ok.

Thanks!!!!!!!!

As you can see, blog posts can have a lot more visual interest with a few options enabled: http://www.majorleaguetalk.com/forums/z/index.php?z-profile=jdelasko&tab=6

I can think of a lot more filters to add in the future, but for now, YouTube is a really good start. Do you really need that 'My Media' block? http://www.majorleaguetalk.com/forums/z/index.php?z-profile=jdelasko&&tab=1

I am trying to get the zoints blog to link up with the vBulletin blog, is this possible?

i think it serves its purpose but can be improved. That is something we, or I, have considered a focus of development as the web becomes more media laden and interactive.

No, these are two separate products. We do have an RSS feed block, which you can use to syndicate your blog posts from vbulletin blog over to Zoints, using an RSS feed.. I can't say the same for vBulletin Blog.

[Admiral Cuddles]

That'll work! Thanks!

[jdelasko]

I made a style with a page background image. I can change the image, but I can't delete it. I've tried numerous times and the jibberish below appears in the image edit popup window everytime I try to delete the image.

[Zoints]

Interesting. I'll try to duplicate it and see what I can come up with

Thanks for pointing it out :)

Also, what happens if you try to delete the whole style?

[BlitzSports]

When in the admin section I get these errors when I click on the "Blocks" link:

Warning: require_once(/home/blitzspo/public_html/forums/includes/functions_album.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /z/profile/modules/mod_my_albums.php on line 2

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/blitzspo/public_html/forums/includes/functions_album.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/blitzspo/public_html/forums/z/profile/modules/mod_my_albums.php on line 2

Any idea how to get past this?

[Zoints]

Have you confirmed whether those files are, in fact, present?

[BlitzSports]

forums/includes/functions_album.php is not present. How do I get this file?

[Zoints]

You've had Zoints installed for quite some time. When did this problem arise? What changes were made to your site prior to this problem first occurring?

[BlitzSports]

I just upgraded to your latest version and that's when I started getting these errors.

[Zoints]

I just upgraded to your latest version and that's when I started getting these errors.

I've got our engineers looking at this now :)

[Zoints]

I just upgraded to your latest version and that's when I started getting these errors.

I see you're running vB 3.6.8 - can you confirm that you've got the version of the plugin from this thread installed, and not the version for 3.7?

[BlitzSports]

I downloaded the upgrade from this thread so unless the plugin was wrong I don't know. How would I check to see which version it is?

[spirittina]

<font color="Plum">ok this looks awesome but i have three questions

1 is does it work if i have vbulletin 3.8 as my forum board and photopost as a gallery ?
2 is does it change the whole layout of my website like the ones in the demo ?
3 is can i set the usergroups i want to use it?</font>

[spirittina]

<font color="Plum">no help on this?????</font>

[credenscel]

Hi all! i keep getting an error when i try to upgrade :( can you please advise what i need to do to fix this?

Check the date of the last reply in this thread. The mod author hasn't been online in 20 months. The only reason I'm replying, is because I am evidently subscribed to this thread and got the notification.

I think this project is dead, and there's a lot better options out there. I uninstalled this mod ages ago. As a matter of fact, I lost all interest in Vbulletin. If you want a community with social networking functions, this is a great deal:
