dunno....
sounds like... a big step.

my forum has only a few users and although i would like to give them more features like a blog, i dont wanna scare them away with a whole new site/layout/features.
They are a real traiditional bunch :P ("why fix it if its not broken" or "why do we need this??")

Can i test this on one specific style/skin?
(i dont have a whole testsite/forum)

Hi GuaRRand,

I can understand the anxiety. But yes, you can test this without having a test forum or letting your members know. Install Zoints Local but do NOT install the Zoints Local product on vBulletin. That way, unless your members are typing /z/ after your forum URL, they will not even know it's there. If you like it, you can then install the product and make template changes and so on.

So just upload / edit everything besides the product?

ANd will i be able to "only" use the profile part?
(so if i dont upload the local product, will i be able to use the profile product??)

Yes, install Zoints Local but do not install the vBulletin product. And you will be the only one to use the profile unless your members stumble upon the link. To access your ZL install, just go to /yourforumpath/z/

thanks i'll try that

nope..

:(

That's a problem with short tags, you can enable them via your php.ini configurations.

sadly, i cant get to that since its a globalserver setting :(
i am admin...not uber server dude ;)

but cant i just edit the index.php file to include <?php?>

From the looks of it, it seems like you sorted it out GuaRRand. Are you ok now?

i harrassed the serverdude and he fixed the open tags thing.
he wasnt pleased though... he said and i quote "its lazy bad programming when you use open tags. you just need to type in 3 extra letters to make it work normally...*sigh*' :P

But, it works :ok

Thanks for all the help guys
