Alright Andy,

Go to your Zadmin, click "Change Installation Settings", if it's checked - uncheck the 'Enable mod_rewrite URL's' and then click Next.

2. How much itme approximately it'll take to install? :)

3. updated version coming soon? if yes, then let me wait. Reply these 3 questions please.


Preety feature.

Hi vitrag,

The two current downloads we have will work for all versions of 3.6.x, one is the product for vB and the other is the install files for Zoints Local.

Approximately? I've installed it so much it's a bit hard for me to give a fair response (as it is somewhat automatic) but after you upload the files (which take awhile depending on your upload speed), if you follow the instructions and it goes smooth.... 20 minutes should be plenty of time to do it.

An updated version is indeed coming soon.

Hi I would like to install this on our forum, but I need to be able to limit access to a certain member group. Is there an option to assign access by member groups?

thanks much!

Since Zoints relies on the vBulletin usergroup settings, thus making profile access all or nothing, all I can suggest is to do is to remove profile access to that usergroup as Zoints currently does not have anything to limit access only to it for a particular usergroup, sorry.

Great Thanks for the Reply and Suggestion! So basically if I have say 15 usergroups and I only want 2 user groups to have Access to Zoints, I simply remove access for other 13 usergroups. I would remove profile access to these 13 groups, using VB Permissions in the VB admincp.

Now this question comes to mind. Is it that the 13 usergroups would not have access to any profile (not even the original VB profile)?

Thanks again, this possible workaround, we really do love this add-on.

That is correct, if the access was removed, they would not be able to access any profile (Zoints or vBulletin.)

Glad to hear you guys are enjoying the product. To my knowledge, this wasn't an addressed issue in the upcoming release but it has been desired in the past, so I could see the engineers looking into it one day.
