Ok I completely uninstalled. When I try to re-install, all I get is a bunch or errors like this:


Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /z/includes/localsettings.php:1) in /z/install/detail.php on line 77

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /z/includes/localsettings.php:1) in /z/install/detail.php on line 78

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /z/includes/localsettings.php:1) in /z/includes/functions.php on line 103

What step are you getting those errors at?

Let's have you delete the localsettings.php and rerun the installer.

Since I posted this, I have been able to complete the installation without the errors. I have absolutely no idea why I had the errors in the first place, nor do I know why they went away all by themselves.

The best I can figure, my server was temporarily possessed by some sort of demonic spirit. I believe it is gone now.

One thing I've noticed with the gold version is that I can no longer embed media in blog posts and I was able to do that with RC3. (I installed the media plugin for tinymce). I'm able to preview the media file before inserting it into the blog entry, but after saving the entry, the media does not show up. I know the embed code remains in the blog entry, because if I edit the entry, the code is still there.

What has changed to prevent the media from showing in this latest release? The exact same embed code works with the 'My media' block.

Edit: For now, I just need this to work with youtube....... other trusted sites in the future. I understand the need to not allow flash media from any old website, but youtube and some others should be perfectly safe. I'm not sure why the 'My Media" block displays youtube videos ok, but not in blog entries.

Zoints now utilizes HTML Purifier to clean user data to allow users to add HTML safely to their pages. HTML Purifier, at least the version that is shipped with Zoints, does not allow embed or object tags. If you visit the website they do have code for allowing youtube embed codes. If you have PHP 5.x+ you can download the newer branch which has some settings to allow embed and object codes.

Are you saying that the 'My Media' block does not use HTML purifier? ..... because it wouldn't make sense to allow the very same embed code in the 'My Media' block that cannot be used in blog entries.

Yes I know. The code is also included in the Zoints release package (z/includes/HTMLPurifier/Filter/youtube.php)


I do indeed have PHP 5.x+, but I don't think migrating to HTMLPurifier 3.1.1 from 2.1.5 within Zoints is as simple as downloading . Besides, there's no reason to not be able to include youtube videos using 2.1.5.


This has to be an easy fix. I can't believe you guys would be filtering youtube embed code out of blog entries while allowing it in the 'My Media' block. Other trusted video sites should also be whitelisted.

I was happy to find out that I could embed videos in blog posts with RC3, but now that functionality is gone. People will want this.

My Media is a completely different entity, it only allows only certain embed code to prevent any malicious code that could jeopardize your forum. The blog entries are a different story though, but we implemented HTMLPurifier to protect against any exploits....the My Media block does not use HTMLPurifier.

I can look into providing you with instructions in how exactly to allow embedded code into your blogs since your members like such a feature, but it would be at your own risk.

I'd appreciate those instructions. It would take me a long time to figure it out by myself. If it only worked with youtube for now, that would be great. I don't want to bypass HTMLPurifier, I just want to take advantage of it's whitelisting capabilities. If this were restricted to youtube, the risk is acceptable.

Thanks for this nice software

is there any way of having branding free script ?
