This products appeal and useability has just taken a giant leap forward.

I wasn't even aware of the existense of TinyMCE until this release of Zoints. From what I've learned so far about TinyMCE, the Zoints team made a very clever choice when they decided to incorporate the editor into Zoints Local. The basic formatting controls work great. I'd like more formatting controls, but I'm way too happy to ask for them now because I know you guys must have put in a lot of hours to get this functionality.

For those of you that have not yet taken the time to get familiar with TinyMCE, it is a Java, cross platform, open source html editor with a wysiwyg user interface. It is well supported and there are quite a few third party plugins available for the editor. I'm anticipating some exciting new editing features in the future. Your vBulletin BB code is not going to work in this editor, but trust me, your users won't care one bit. Neither will you when you find out how feature rich the TinyMCE editor can become. Your users will be able to format documents in ways that would never be possible with the vBulletin editor.

Thanks again to the entire Zoints team for this upgraded functionality..... absolutely, positively, outstanding work! You have just taken Zoints Local to the next level.

Now..... how do I add the Youtube plugin? (Maybe not that one in particular. I see several on SourceForge)

I appreciate the comments JD. The vBulletin editor was just really difficult to bring over to a third party external script (others in the modifications community have had similar difficulties), I don't believe it was impossible of course, just very time consuming. Plus when vB has a new version, such as 3.7x, that made the code that existed within Zoints Local a bit quirky, such as before we added the new editor the color dropdown didn't work and there were other small issues. The credit goes to the engineers though as they looked at several options and really tried for one that had been tried and true on other applications and would bring the ease of use forum users desire.

If you have any suggestions on things to add to the editor that would be appreciated by any forum, please share. We really wanted to add the editor in for this release so things that might have been considered, like the YouTube add-in, probably wasn't looked at by them.

The editor was a long time coming, but thankfully it made it in for 2.0. And your frank criticisms of a lack of an advanced editor got me talking to the guys in charge and then the engineers got to work on it, so you definitely helped to speed it along.

I've noticed that the Discussions page is not working correctly in Internet Explorer 7. In IE7, the editor appears outside of the area where it is supposed to be. Everything is displayed correctly in Firefox. See attached screen shots.

We're working on RC3 right now so we certainly would like to find as many bugs as we could.

Let me know if you have access to this forum:
http://network.zoints.com/forumdisplay.php?f=92

If so, please post that bug there and if not I will do it for you. (I am not for sure which groups have permission there or not.)

You need to uninstall the product from your vBulletin Product manager to remove Zoints from your admincp.

Nevermind. Here's the fix:

In the file, z/templates/profile/board/new_thread.template.php

Find: <label for="z_tinymce_editor"><?PHP echo L('message') ?> 

Replace with: <label for="z_tinymce_editor"><?PHP echo L('message') ?></label> 

In the file, z/templates/profile/board/new_reply.template.php

Find: <label for="z_tinymce_editor"><?PHP echo L('message') ?> 

Replace with: <label for="z_tinymce_editor"><?PHP echo L('message') ?></label>

Nevermind on that question too. I got this all figured out .... after I found where tinyMCE.init was.

I added the media plugin, the iespell plugin, the emotions plugin, the advanced image plugin, and the fullscreen plugin. I aslo added, cut, copy, paste, strikethrough, Horizontal rule, and full justification to the formatting controls.

I love it!

Thanks for sharing the fix. Like I mentioned, we're working on RC3 right now and we're actually going to be discussing the progress tonight. I'll make sure to bring up that bug and the fix, as well as mentioning some of the add-ins for the plugin that I could certainly see having some use for all forums. They might want to keep it a bit more on the simplistic side, but seeing some of the cool things you have now on your site really does show the flexibility of the system for anyone willing to take the time to make some edits.

You obviously earn some money on this interforum "community", but what about a paid version where you didn't have to bother with that?

SGL.

Hey SGL,

At the moment there is not a paid version or an autonomous version. Zoints Local as it is might not be for you or your forum then, but if you are interested I would suggest playing around with it but to not install the product and keep the URL private to you and your admins/mods to look at. I think that's the best way to determine if it would be right for you community.

Can you explain the second part? How can I play around with it without installing it?

You can install just the profile system, and not take the final step of importing the vBulletin product. The profile system will then be in place, but not integrated into your forum, so your users wont even notice it.

Could you show of some more forums that have implemented Zoints?

We're really not comfortable linking to other forums who might not want that spotlight without asking them first. If you look on this thread though from those who ask for support, you would surely find some examples.

We're always looking for example forums. If anyone is running a Zoints Local 2.0 enabled forum and would like to be featured, please PM me. (No adult content please.)

Is it only the profile layout that will change? What changes would be made to may forum if it was integrated? I'm pretty happy with the forum bit as it is.

Okay, I can understand that. It's only that the one example forum you do use needs people to register for us to check it out fully.

I mean that the profile system will be on your server at http://www.yoursite.com/forum/z/, but that it won't be integrated into your site: the navbar links won't be there, the users won't get taken to zoints profiles when they click on someones username, etc...

Upload all the installation files, run the installer, just don't import the vB product file in your AdminCP.
