What is Zoints Local?

Installed on your forum and under your control, Zoints Local is what you want it to be. If you want to provide your members with a homepage they can personalize, you can. If you want members to share more about themselves via greatly enhanced profiles, you can. Blogs? Networking? Resumes? Photos? Video sharing? No problem. Via Zoints' page and block management system, you can do what you want, how you want, with ease. Learn more about pages and blocks (http://zoints.com/tour/blocks-and-pages/)

Zoints Local takes your forum's basic profile and turns it into a portal where a whole new world opens up, all on your website. As you can see below, your members can have everything from a personal homepage to enhanced profile, blog, network, pages to show off their vehicle (pictured) and anything else that can be dreamed up. And don't worry, we even include a page that shows the entire default vBulletin profile if you want it.

If you would like your forum featured above, please PM me!

What will Zoints local bring to my forum?

Zoints Local brings a new level of possibilities to your website. There are so many features and options that it?s impossible for us to list them all here. As a community based platform that allows forum owners to share blocks, the opportunities to expand your site with Zoints Local continue to grow every day ? there?s just no telling what feature, block or idea will come out next. At the Zoints Development Forum (http://dev.zoints.com) you can download blocks posted by other community owners and developers. This way, if you own a writing forum, a software forum, a nursing forum, or a forum dedicated to any other topic, you can contour pages and blocks to specifically fit the needs of your community. Learn more about sharing blocks (http://zoints.com/tour/block-sharing/)

A few of the blocks and pages packaged with Zoints Local:

About Me, My Discussions, My Links, Instant Chat, My Photos My Interests, My Communities, My Network, Quick Comments, Ratings, My Blog, RSS Feeds, Social Actions and many more. Virtually any existing "widget" shared on the internet can quickly be converted into a block, many in just a few minutes.

What else does Zoints Local offer?

Zoints Local is a state of the art product with all sorts of amazing features that go beyond the normal website.

Drag and Drop technology - Do you want to move a block from one part of your profile to another? Do you want to change the order of your pages? No problem, just drag and drop!

http://img3.zoints.com/zthread/zoints2_lg.png

Social Networking - Forget just friends, Zoints Local allows your members to create as many "Groups" as they want. We all have friends, family, colleagues, forum friends, and various other people in our lives.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2006/11/4.png

Comprehensive privacy controls - Your members can create a variety of groups and show each group different content on a page by page basis. Zoints allows you to show what you want, when you want, to whom you want. Learn more about Zoints' Privacy Controls (http://zoints.com/tour/privacy/)

Style Sharing - When your members create custom styles, they can easily share them with other members of your community via the Styles Database.

Global Search - Zoints Local includes a global search that bridges that crerates a virtual freeway between the forums of the internet. Searches conducted through Zoints return results from every community that uses Zoints Local. Think of it as Google, for people. Google sends you a lot of traffic, and so can Zoints People Search.

http://img3.zoints.com/zthread/zoints8_sm.png

The best part about Zoints Local is that you pick what to let your members use and what not to let them use.

What sort of administration options exist?

The Zoints Local system gives you extensive control of how your Zoints profiles should behave. You can turn features on and off, determine if you want your members to be able to edit/create/manage styles of their own, define default styles, add your own customized header and logo to the pages and much more.

Here?s a couple screenshots from the admin control panel:

Once you have the system setup, it?s completely up to you to decide how you want things to work. Customize, add on or leave the system exactly as it comes out of the box ?

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. This is all installed on MY forum?

A. Correct :)

Q. Is there a demo?

A. Demo Information

Forum: http://zointsdemo.com/vbulletin/
Admin Panel: http://zointsdemo.com/vbulletin/z/zadmin.php
Login info: admin/admin

You can also create your own account and play with the profile system :)

To see how well people are starting to integrate vbulletin and profiles, see here:

Forum: http://www.writersbeat.com
Profile: http://www.writersbeat.com/z/DFischer/

Q. I would prefer to utilize the centralized version of Zoints. Can I?

A. No, sorry. Not until we standardize the Zoints Local and Zoints.com code. We do not have an ETA for this.

Q. How do I create a default style for my members?

A. Creating a default style is easy. Using the Zoints Style Editor, create styles as you normally would. As an admin, your custom styles will be automatically listed in the zadmin.php control panel. You can specify the same or different styles for each page by going to zadmin > pages > edit name/style as shown in the image below.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2006/11/5.png

The style dropdown menu will then be populated with all your custom styles.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

You can also add a logo and header to the top of all /z/ pages on zadmin > settings.

Q. Why do I have to register my community with Zoints and get a forum token and authentication key?

A. Zoints Local provides (and will add many more) features that require secure authentication between Zoints and your forum.

Q. My forum uses the Zoints centralized system. Can I switch?

A. Absolutely! The system does it automatically. Please note, you cannot run both.

Q. What browsers do you code for?

A. Firefox 1.x+, IE 6.x+, and Opera 8.x+. Other browsers may or may not work, however, we do not officially support them at this time.

Q. The images in the navigation bar don't fit well with the style I created, can I change them?

A. Yes, you may overwrite those images with your own as long as they are named the same and are easily readable.

Q. Are there any vBadvanced modules that work with this?

A. Of course. Currently there are Recent blog entries (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=130948) and random members (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=130947).

Q. I have custom profile fields I don't want to lose. What about those?

A. No problem, we created a block that automatically pulls all the custom profile fields. See it here (http://dev.zoints.com/showthread.php?t=28). Blocks can be made to do pretty much anything :)

wow...this looks PHAT, this isn't relying on existing plugins is it i.e vbjournal and so forth unlike other alterations, it seems to be an all in one beast :).

My users currently use the myspace hack from here with the old and now pulled comment system. This integrates into vbphotopost gallery and vbjournal.

My questions are 1. will this be able to work with vbphotopost and 2. is there anyway of converting vbjournal posts to the blog entries and keeping the private entries private?

I'm hoping that I can migrate to a new solution!

We're looking into making it work with Photopost.

Unfortunately the vbjournal stuff isn't something we can do for you. However, I wouldn't be surprised if our blog can be turned off and vbjournal can be used instead somehow.

My guess is you're stuck on 3.5.x because of all this? This solution is infinitely more powerful than what you're currently running.

...man this looks really great...

I'm running 3.5.4 with aprox. 90 hacks. My question is... might this work flawless ? ...and if not can I uninstall and have my forum intact again?

Best regards

/Mike
It will almost definitely work flawlessly. We designed it to integrate very well, yes be separate enough so that it doesn't cause any issues. Uninstalling will leave your forum as it was. :)

I'd like to see this being phrased. At the moment all strings seem to be hardcoded in the templates, unless I'm not looking in the right direction. Is this being considered for the very near future (and if so, could you please comment on a timescale).
I'm very interested in this and have some great ideas already, but it needs to be translated first. Since it's all hardcoded, I'm a little hesitant to start already.

I also read that the standard vBulletin profile will be completely replaced by Zoints Local. Is that correct? There's alot of functionality for mods and admins tied to the default vB profile, so that sounds like a really bad idea to me (e.g. infractions, user notes, search for all posts, etc). If this is true I sadly have to refrain from using this.

Thanks! This looks very promising and I really want to use this.

The only thing that stops me from fully going the zoints way is the language issue, I hope you offer soon a multi-language version, I think I will give a try to the english version and explain to my users that we will have soon a version in our own language. I hope that soon will not become years :D

BTW, will this work in 3.6.2?
We'll have the multi-language support available in the first new feature release. :)

Hi,

This looks great and possibley something I'd implement on my forum, but I am just curious to know if this is totally self contained or if it merges our database with the Zoints one?

The test sites that I've seen all have a Join Zoints button on the top of the profiles and when looking at user's profiles it takes me to a Zoints.com page.

Are these profiles /pages created and kept on our own server and database or do they just link to the Zoints.com site and database?

And can the global search be turned off on a site so that users of that site can only search for users of that site and not all other sites using Zoints Local?

Ack, please accept my apologies for the delay in replying!

This looks great and possibley something I'd implement on my forum, but I am just curious to know if this is totally self contained or if it merges our database with the Zoints one?

This is self contained. It is installed on your forum and under your control and you do not in any way merge your database with Zoints.

The test sites that I've seen all have a Join Zoints button on the top of the profiles and when looking at user's profiles it takes me to a Zoints.com page.

Hmm, can you link me to that please? There should not be such a button on Zoints Local. You may have seen people using Zoints Central which is a totally different system.

Are these profiles /pages created and kept on our own server and database or do they just link to the Zoints.com site and database?
They are created and kept on your server and in your database.

And can the global search be turned off on a site so that users of that site can only search for users of that site and not all other sites using Zoints Local?
Only with an "autonomy license". However, we're improving the global search system in a manner where your site and your partners will always be listed first. I realize that having a global search may be bothersome to some, but it works both ways. The more forums that utilize this system, the more traffic everyone gets, which, in the end, benefits all forums involved. Think of it as Google Search in its infancy. When Google first started, you might have been weary of adding this new company's search to your website since it leads your members elsewhere. But in the end, it benefits you and Google sends you additional traffic.

We wanted to put our more than a cool modification. We wanted to put out a modification that can help solve the three salient problems most forum owners face:

1. Member acquisition
2. Member retention
3. Profitability

As time moves forward and we continually improve this system, I have little doubt that we will accomplish just that. :)

If you ended up with two after doing the edits, that means you didn't need to do the edits. The automated installer attempts to place those links automatically. Go ahead and reverse the manual edits you did and all will be well :)

Great stuff and well done, DChapman!

One issue, may be i didn´t notice that chapter.

We have several usergroups in our community, so i need to specify the permissions for each usergroups. Let´s say "vip"-members have access, registered not.

Any solution for this?

Thanks!

Is there anyway to set this so that it is off by default to everyone except those that choose to use it? I would like it so that when someone goes to the default profile instead of automatically being taken to the Zoints profile they get the old profile and a link like Admins get. This would be set by the member options page.

By forum owner request, we are releasing a new vBulletin product (2.1.2) with some great options. And since we're doing that, we decided to release Zoints Local 1.0.1 to deal with a few bugs too. Let's talk about the vBulletin product first:

We were using "Zoints" all over the place, and you folks didn't like it. No problem, with the new vBulletin product, you can change the name of your profile system MUCH easier. In addition, you can change the postbit links and link to member blogs in the navbar as you can see with the below screenshot.

http://img3.zoints.com/zthread/zprofile-options.png

Upgrade Instructions

1. Unzip the file.
2. Access your vbulletin admincp
3. Import the .xml product via the product manager (set overwrite to yes)

As stated above, we decided to release Zoints Local 1.0.1. There aren't any critical bugs, just a few annoyances, the biggest being the media block decided to die on us. In addition, we removed some references to Zoints from the profile side of things so you can continue to brand everything as yours :)

1. Download the new zip file and overwrite the existing files

2. After uploading the new files, access /z/install/manager.php in your browser

Zoints

Not the free version, no. There is a paid version that allows for that. This modification is designed to help interconnect forums which we feel will be important to the future success of many communities on the net.

I've uploaded version 2.1.3 of the vBulletin product. A few people who were performing the navbar edit manually where having trouble with 2.1.2. You only need to upgrade to it if you were having issues with the manual edit of the navbar.

If you utilize vbjournal and would like to import the old vbjournal entries into our blog system, we now have an importer here (http://network.zoints.com/showthread.php?t=2179).

I have a user by the name bubblez#1 and for some reason when going to this person profile I get the follow error.

Anyway I can fix this?

That is because of the # in their name. Since Zoints Local displays usernames in the url and special characters are not able to be used, the first time that person accesses their profile they will be asked to make a different profile name by the system. It will then function properly from that point forward.

I had this version installed on my forum a while ago and I have since deleted it.... Today I am going through my database and cleaning out un used files.... so I have this whole section of zp_XXXXXXX files names ... I am pretty sure they are from this having been installed but I am not 100%, Could you please verify that the zp_ files in my database in fact do come from this so that I can delete them???

Thanks so much!
