Great stuff and well done, DChapman!

One issue, may be i didn´t notice that chapter.

We have several usergroups in our community, so i need to specify the permissions for each usergroups. Let´s say "vip"-members have access, registered not.

Any solution for this?

Thanks!

Hi Klaus,

At present, we don't have permission settings for accessing the profiles. Sorry.

Congrats on the gold release. :)

DChapman:

Is there anyway to set this so that it is off by default to everyone except those that choose to use it? I would like it so that when someone goes to the default profile instead of automatically being taken to the Zoints profile they get the old profile and a link like Admins get. This would be set by the member options page.

No there isn't, sorry :(

We plan to add a feature in the future where you can choose to start people at their default profile, however.

By forum owner request, we are releasing a new vBulletin product (2.1.2) with some great options. And since we're doing that, we decided to release Zoints Local 1.0.1 to deal with a few bugs too. Let's talk about the vBulletin product first:

We were using "Zoints" all over the place, and you folks didn't like it. No problem, with the new vBulletin product, you can change the name of your profile system MUCH easier. In addition, you can change the postbit links and link to member blogs in the navbar as you can see with the below screenshot.

Upgrade Instructions

1. Unzip the file.
2. Access your vbulletin admincp
3. Import the .xml product via the product manager (set overwrite to yes)


Changelog

2006/11/29 - 2.1.2
* Ability to change various link names in the options
* Blog link in navbar (off by default)

As stated above, we decided to release Zoints Local 1.0.1. There aren't any critical bugs, just a few annoyances, the biggest being the media block decided to die on us. In addition, we removed some references to Zoints from the profile side of things so you can continue to brand everything as yours :)

Upgrade Instructions

Is it possible once installed to configure the options to have absolutely no contact with the zoints.com site and have it a purely standalone forum plugin?

Not the free version, no. There is a paid version that allows for that. This modification is designed to help interconnect forums which we feel will be important to the future success of many communities on the net.
