Yeah, do you think you can open up a ticket with us? I have never dealt with an issue like that so being able to communicate more in-depthly about it will allow us to hopefully find a solution for you.

To open up a ticket, go here and provide the link to your forum and describe the problem again (in case another staff member takes it on):

http://zoints.com/support.z
Ah ok, that's what I figured. Please remove that file (the .htaccess provided by Zoints) from your main root and place it inside the /z/ folder on your server and you should be good to go.

ya.. now it is working but a new problem..

http://mallubasil.com/forum//z/MalluBasil/

there is 2 // /forum//z/MalluBasil/

In regards to the blocks - Is there anywhere else these are available? Activity at dev.zoints.com is very very low.

Hello, I followed all installation directions etc. etc. yet when a profile is click on my forums it goes straight to a directory showing all my folders. What am I doing wrong and also, is there a way to show how many vbcredits a person has on their profle? As of right now I have it disabled so I can't show you an example but I was wondering what I was doing wrong. Thank you.:)

I have a vb set to private membership. It is invisible to outsiders and all members accounts are created by me.
Can I run zoints on my vb and keep it all completely private? I mean only our members can see each others zoints pages?
No public URLs? No access by any outsiders?

Alright basil, first go here and ensure that your forum path doesn't accidentally have a double slash inputted:

http://www.yourforums.com/forumpath/...p?cmd=settings

Block development at dev.zoints.com is the only place I know of. We are really dependent on third party developers developing blocks as it would be a never ending process for us to create blocks that would satisfy all, let alone support them. If you or anyone else is interested in block development, I would suggest starting a thread there and maybe those with the talent will come to help out and develop what the community is looking for.

Like I mentioned a few posts above, if you are using mod rewrite (with the .htaccess file), is the .htaccess file placed in the correct location? If so, could you please turn off mod rewrite and see if that corrects the problem? Typically, if mod rewrite is not enabled (on the server, not the feature in Zadmin) a 404 error will be given so I don't suspect that is it alone but the .htaccess file could certainly be placed in the wrong location.

If that fails, open up a ticket with us so we can pursue it further.

As for vB Credits, it would be possible if you or someone else developed a block for it, but I don't believe one currently exists (to my knowledge.)

I would love to use zoints to provide a high quality profile service for a particular site I run using VB - so my members can see each others' interests, pictures etc. But this particular site I need all services to be private, so the members do not have access to other zoints users/ nor vice versa, should external zoints users have access to them.

I have another site where the full zoints service would be great but not for the members only site.

I have set up a test account on zoints to see what it's like.
Please can you tell me if I can set certain privacy options from admin level -
OR
I can put comment code around bits of code to hide/disable certain functions if I'm told where to look or it's findable in page templates.

1. Set any join/ register options to hidden (my members are created by me ONLY on our VB forums)
2. Set all zoints pages on my site only viewable by my members.
My members are not searchable by other zoints users on other communities.
3. Profile page: Under My Network, Find Friends only searches my memberlist
4. Profile page: Under My Network, My Communities is disabled (hidden)
5. On the toolbar Search only searches my memberlist
6. On the toolbar Communities is hidden.
7. On the toolbar People displays only my members and I can disable all the most popular/ most viewed/ highest rated tabs.
8. In Settings - Notifications only trigger by my members.
9. In Settings - My Referrals is disabled/ hidden
10. In Settings - Home Community is set to mine and cannot be changed.
11. Community Filter is disabled/ hidden
12. Blocked Members is disabled/ hidden.

1. Join/Register features are done through vBulletin, so if your setup is currently enabled as you mentioned, it will remain like that and Zoints will not affect how prospective members can or can't sign up.
2. You can elect not to join the Zoints Community Directory, meaning no Zoints member will find your site through us. As for pages, those are not viewable if the profile is clicked from vB, however, if a person knew the URL to directly go to a profile, that will circumvent that functionality. BUT, users can define their privacy settings to not allow guests to view, which will counteract that.
3. By default, there will be a checkmark to make it so that users will only search your forum, although that checkmark can be unselected by which members would search Zoints as a whole.
4. The My Communities block can be turned off.
5. Same answer as #3.
6. Communities cannot be hidden as that is a violation of use of Zoints Local.
7. The People page is not included with Zoints Local, that is a feature of our social network.
8. The notifications are only triggered by actions on your site, nothing to do with Zoints.com or the profiles there. Notifications will result in PM's on your site (or emails).
9. Referrals are just a feature of Zoints.com, not Zoints Local.
10. Another feature of just Zoints.com. On the Zoints navigation bar however, the button "Forum" will of course link to your site.
11. Community Filter is a feature relevant to Zoints.com only, thus it's not included with Zoints Local.
12. Blocked Members is a feature that comes with Zoints Local and cannot be turned off to my knowledge, but I don't believe we would have any problem with that being disabled should you know how to. Users in effect can block as it is if they made their profile only accessible via friends list.

Sorry for the blunt nature of the responses, I just answer long question lists like that naturally I suppose. Also, I was planning to answer your original question, but you happened to have asked it as I was working on the other responses (just so you don't think I was ignoring it.) Hopefully this helps you understand a bit better.

I'm beginning to believe that No one is concerned about a wysiwyg editor. It would be nice to hear someone from Zoints give ocassional updates on this issue to let us know what the plan is... or even if there is a plan. This is not a trivial issue for a lot of Zoints users.

The fact that I opened up a support ticket is irrelivent. I did that when I thought I had some sort of installation or settings problem and I did not realize at the time that it's a coding issue. I've also noticed that some of the customizations I added to my vbulletin editor are not ported over to the Zoints pages nor does some of my custom BB code work in Zoints. Bummer.

Thank you that was a marvellous response - lightning fast and yet thorough and informative - and not condescending. Have no idea why you're apologising - I couldn't have asked for a better reply.

Please could you just add a little to these 2 replies. Sorry to ask more and I don't expect response in minutes again! Just would like to know fairly soon without pressure.

3. [Search on the top toolbar] You said:
By default, there will be a checkmark to make it so that users will only search your forum, although that checkmark can be unselected by which members would search Zoints as a whole.

Is this checkmark in the member's settings?
I'm not sure if I understand. It sounds like you are saying that I can as admin default this to checked but it can be unchecked at member level?

If this is so a workaround is that I set it as default checked to my community only. Then I go in the code and comment out the lines of code that display the option with its checkbox to the member.
I can do this kind of commenting out for myself if someone could help me locate the page template. Have done it quite a bit on my VB.

6. Communities cannot be hidden as that is a violation of use of Zoints Local.

So if I have elected not to join the Zoints Community Directory, what happens when the Communities button is clicked on the top toolbar?
A message saying access is not permitted?

Thank you again for outstandingly good help.
