Thank you so much Reid!

Appreciated :)

Hey bro all working fine.

Got one question.

In forums itself you can click on usercp right and edit profile. how can i link the edit profile to zoints profile FOR ALL REGISTRERED USERS is their anyway ?

Glad to be a help.

Hi silence88,

Just to make sure what you are talking about, on the User CP drop down and on the User CP page itself, you want to replace them with the link to the Zoints profile? I would suggest leaving a link on the User CP page to the vbulletin edit profile, but I think I can write up a quick little tutorial to do the manual editing for what you mentioned.

Let me know.

- Reid

For some strange reason, we were not able to integrate Zoints to my forum, but I wanted people to know that the staff worked real hard to fix this and even though it didn't work, they did an awesome job...

Here added image.

ITs dutch. i want to link ::gebruikersinstellingen=usercp:: to :: Zoints profile::

Else you have a vb profile + zointsprofile = 2 profiles lol. i actually only want 1 so i choose zoints due vb has limited options.

We really appreciate that AuroraStorm. I apologize that we couldn't get Zoints working properly on your forum, but hopefully and thanks to you working with the staff, we can correct the problem that your forum faced so not only your forums but other forums can benefit.

Thanks for the feedback, because we do really try to support Zoints Local the best we can.

- Reid

Ah ok silence88, I see what you're saying. This is using my personal site's style so if there are any noticeable differences in the code (which I don't think there should be), just do a little compare to how other links are structured in that User CP dropdown on your site.

Log-in to your vBulletin AdminCP, go to your Style Manager, click Navigation/Breadcrumb Templates, then click navbar, save the information to a text file (in case this doesn't work for whatever reason, so the file is there for your convenience.) From there, find:

Replace with this:

Edit the phrase if you would like to change the text that is displayed.

Thanks for explaining that a bit more.

- Reid

I've been waiting for month for someone to make me a Professional installation of Zoints in my board, where can I get someone?

hey dude me again it didnt find

::::::
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editprofile">$vbphrase[edit_profile]</a></td></tr>

can anyone please script me the popup code so i can add it into the quick links menu instead????

Hi IO,

I just saw the PM you sent me today and will be responding to it soon. That really isn't my area to cover (if you mean beyond a standard installation), so I need to check with the higher-ups.

Thanks for your patience.

Hmmm, sorry about that silence88. In that template, could you scroll to the bottom to the usercp menu tools (that's not the exact name, but there you should see recognizable links to User CP dropdown elements) and see if you can find something along those lines? Like I said, my forum's style could differ so it might not be coded exactly the same. If you can't solve it, open up a ticket at network.zoints.com with your forum address, and a temporary admin account details for your forums that has style/template permissions and I, or someone else, should be able to help you out.

Hi axi,

Are you speaking of the Zoints dropdown menu for the navbar?

- Reid

yes that is the one!!
i'd appreciate it if you or someone can make me a code so the popup shows up in quicklinks instead of a seperate link popup in nav

That shouldn't be too much of a problem axi.

Login to your vBulletin Admin CP, click on the Style Manager and click Edit Templates on whichever style you want to edit. As always, with any template you are going to edit (if customized in any way either by you or a skin designer), save it in advance. Go to the template where your User CP is listed (for most, it's under Navigation/Breadcrumb Templates, then navbar) and from there look for a line like:
A line like this below should follow it.

I am on vB 3.64 with a lot of customizations, so that might not be exact, but looking for that phrase and checking to see if the link structure in the code is what is displayed for your quick links will give you an idea if you are are at the right place. And from there, below the top code, add this (or wherever you think it's best suited):

If this works for you, you likely do not want to have it appear elsewhere on the navbar. So again from your vBulletin Admin CP, go to vBulletin Options, Zoints Profile Options, and set Automatic Template Edits to NO. This means you will have to look at the readme file that comes with the vB product for Zoints Local to add back in what you need (such as postbit link.)

I hope this helps you out, again, make sure to save in advance so you can revert without worry. If you have troubles, open up a ticket at network.zoints.com with a temporary admin account with style permissions and I should be able to get it done (like I mentioned, it's hard to know all the style differences when listing code like this.)

Has there been any movement forward in using the database to store the member data rather than many hundreds of folders?
We (and many others, fact) have not been able to use this mod simply because we are hosted on a server with safemode=on and are discriminated against by some coders that refuse to recognise our plight as being relevant.

To be honest, unless it was being spoken about in jargon that I just don't understand, I don't believe there has been. I wasn't even aware of the problem, but then again I am not an engineer for Zoints. This definitely sounds like a problem that needs to be resolved in the future, could you please post this same message here (you will need to register if you haven't):

http://network.zoints.com/forumdisplay.php?f=41

That way, I will be able to suggest that for future development (which is a bit more my forte) and have an actual forum owner such as yourself who is interested to back that suggestion. Of course I am suggesting it no matter what, but hopefully that would help push the engineers to working on it if it's a possibility. Anyone else who has been limited from using Zoints for the reason gothicuser has mentioned, I would suggest doing the same.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

- Reid

Thankyou for the very prompt reply.
I have posted it there, many times over the past year in fact, just to be told initially that yes, it would be sorted by the next release, then yes, it would be sorted in the future then hmmmm, dunno!! and finally to be ignored. So literally any response is a step forward :D

Ah, then probably a good bulk of those responses were under the previous ownership. I have to imagine the engineers who remained onboard will be reminded of this with just my message to them alone.

Like I said, I really can't speak to whether it's doable and if so, will it get done.... but I will make an effort for you and anyone else who would like to see this.

And I apologize if your requests have gone unnoticed over your last few attempts.

- Reid

hey m8 i found this.

<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>
</if>


<if condition="$show['member']">
<!-- user cp tools menu -->
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="usercptools_menu" style="display:none">

There you go, that should be the one silence. There should also be an open table code below that (somewhat like this, but I imagine it might be different due to styles: " <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"> ") so just add the code I provided a few posts back with the Zoints info below where the table should open and you should be fine. If not, let me know and we can take it to a ticket status at network.zoints.com where I should be able to help you.

- Reid

So i replace this one

<if condition="$show['member']">
<!-- user cp tools menu -->
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="usercptools_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">

FULLY WITH THIS ONE :

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]">
<a href="$vboptions[zointsprofile_zurl]?id=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[zointsprofile_my_profile]</a>
</td></tr>

Silence88, this should help below.
(Remember to save the original first.)

BELOW it add:

If you're still having trouble or need something else in regards to this, don't hesitate to ask.

- Reid

Sh*t why all these dont work. apparently im doing somthing wrong i think. How can i let you guys do it ?

Hi again Silence88,

Open a support ticket at network.zoints.com with details included of a temporary admin account on your vBulletin with style permissions and I'll see what I can do. If you want to mention in the ticket that you would like my help, that would help keep the other staff from getting on it if you don't want to have to explain what you want again.

Oh and make sure you have the original saved back in and not the modified version that doesn't work.

Thanks.

i try to instal but:

can anyone help me plz

Hi Taumau,

Please PM me with your forum's url and your registered name at Zoints.com (the one that got the token and key) so I can find your info and send back to you to see if that corrects it.

Thanks.

i was using this and it works great, but i moved to a new server and see the thing points to "home3/..." but now my forum dir is home/......

how do i change it so it works again, i am afraid to just install over it as i dont want to loose any data

Try posting this question over at www.network.zoints.com They are very helpful there and should be able to answer your question!

Hey Keyser,

Was this solved? A problem exactly like that was solved today by Danny (the user posted it as Captain Jack), so I am assuming that it was corrected. If not, let me know.

- Reid

This is a great add-on fellows, but it seems to produce a serious problem when users do not have usernames in other languages than english. The exact message Zoints produces when you try to visit a user's profile when he uses diferrent characters than english is;

, where xxx is the username of this user.

Can there be any fix for this? It's too bad if it can't be used except english forums only :(

Defkalion.

Hi Defkalion,

It can be used with non-english forums, but the problem lies with the different characters sets forcing users too change the name to something allowable. I did a bit of searching and this problem has came up in the past, to no solution. I know the engineers would like to make this more accessible in other languages so I am going to be notifying them of this problem to add to the list of things to correct or possibly find a hotfix for.

- Reid

Thanks Reid, I appreciate your help.

I just wanted to say how delighted I am with Zoints as a company and as a product.

Their customer service is the best I have ever experienced, professional, quick and efficient. They solve problems with perseverance, determination and friendliness.

Their editor is really easy to use and the interface is appealing and adaptable.

My site is almost ready to be launched and I feel confident our members will be thoroughly delighted by being able to build their own mini-websites that are easily configured to suit their own desires....I Highly RECOMMEND Zoints and continue to be amazed that we can get this amazing mod FREE!

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Richardson

Well, I'm loving this mod. I'm almost ready to release it on my board but I see one tiny problem. There is no clear or obvious way to easily go back and edit your "forum profile options". The only way i've seen is to click "edit avatar" in settings. Am I missing something? If not can you explain to me how to add another link in settings which users can click to view the old profile and update as they like.

No problem at all Defkalion.

We really appreciate it that you notice Elizabeth as we do try our best. I am missionhockey21 from the support side, the guy poking around to fix the style for Zoints Local, and it was a pleasure to help your community get up and going.

Hi DoB Rhapsody,

I would suggest starting a thread at network.zoints.com as I would probably not be the best person to help you do this properly. The engineers have a much better understanding of how to implement something like that (or at least better than I do) and hopefully they can quickly help you.

- Reid

Strike3 - your work here is definitely nice to see. Unfortunately every since David was bought out, Zoints became the graveyard most of us anticipated. The Autonomous licenses I bought sit on the side with the same bugs they always had and I haven't seen an update come out in a long, long time. I'm hesitant to install because I'd rather have a running forum than one that functions only some of the time. Has anyone been using it consistently for vb 3.6.x and 3.6.8? I need to add in extra functionality shortly and this is one of those decisions. Thanks.

For some reason i get this in the top right hand corner: 

Anyone know what it could be ?

Hi slinky,

Well first off, I appreciate that quite a bit. As for your concerns, I do remember seeing your name in connection to the autonomous version having some bugs. As you and others deserve to know, I have been talking about Zoints releasing a new version for awhile now and working with a lot more of the marketing issues and idea creation for future releases, that has been true, recently however our engineers have determined a set group of features to add on to a new version as well as a thread documenting all known bugs. I really can't speak to a time line or divulge the information to it as I can't guarantee it as I don't want to put the engineers on the spot, but we're closer than ever. I know the development has been frustrating but we're hoping that will change. I can't remember if it was you or someone else but it seemed like someone mentioned there was problems specific to the autonomous versions (whether it was true or not, I don't remember), but if you can please make a topic in the feedback forum at the support side detailing any bugs you have (again), it would help to hopefully ensure those will get corrected. Like I said, I am pretty familiar with your name so you might of already done this so if so, just humor me as I will then link the engineers to that topic.

http://network.zoints.com/forumdisplay.php?f=41

I apologize for the frustrations you've had and hopefully we can work towards relieving them.

Hi ianwilcox,

If could be due to code in your style. Go to your Zoints installation, click Zoints Admin Area, at the Header and Footer setting click Other and from there click None to both of the choices that show up (this will show the default Zoints style without influence from your forum's) and tell me if the problem still persists, if it doesn't, it's something to do with your style.

- Reid

Thanks for your comments strike3. Unfortunately I'm at the point where I can't even install the zoints version that is up there right now. I've got the dreaded administrative necessity error right after step 1 of the install and see no .php file created in my include folder. Tried everything and it seems I'm far from the only person with this problem, which has been lingering for months. I've posted comments in the forums and a help ticket but haven't yet received a reply. I'm getting the general feeling that vbulletin owners are as excited about the future of zoints are are Kansas City Royals fans, by way of analogy...

Hi again slinky,

I don't know if you missed it but I responded to your ticket about 6-6.5 hours ago and then one of our engineers, Danny, responded to it about ten minutes after I did as he is taking it on. He responded back that there were troubles logging in with the information you provided and is awaiting your response.

:)

- Reid

Thanks Reid - oddly enough it all worked for me so somehow what works for you works for you guys and vice versa, lol. Note that there are then "mistakes" in the installation instructions of your primary Zoints Local page at http://network.zoints.com/showthread.php?t=2179

Step 2 – Upload the /z/ folder to:

yourdomain.com/z/ or
subdomain.yourdomain.com/z/ or
yourdomain.com/forumdirectory/z/

It's been there for a very long time... Thanks again.

Yeah, it perhaps isn't very crystal clear as the important detail is that the /z/ folder is installed to the forum's root directory. Thanks for pointing that out.
