z/install/index.php looks like this for me:

_header->header() ?>
Zoints Installer

Welcome to the Zoints installer!
Install Zoints
_footer->footer() ?>

Thanks for your reply. So do my members have to register at zoints.com in order to use this?

Updating sounds easy, thanks for the reply. Should be installing this soon:)

Just one thing, do you know, if it's possible to give a user their very own forum with the html page thingy? So users can start threads, make polls and everything else on this persons personal page at www.sitename.com/z/username. Not for every user of course, just those who request it, and then the forum could be hidden from the main site forum directory if need be too.:cool:

No, they don't. Your members can use this without ever registering at Zoints. There will be some features in the future that will require registering to be able to use, but they will always be optional. An example feature would be the ability to go to another forum and network with someone there and then have their profile linked to on your forum and vice versa. This isn't really possible without having an account at Zoints. But again, it'll always be optional for your members.

It turns out the issue was due to "Member Bots 1.0 Places search engine bots into Registered Users group"

We both named an xml file the same. If you disable that hack, everything will work fine. Or, we'll also be providing a fix here and renaming ours in the next release.

That's almost surely releated to the rewrite issue. 500 internal config issues usually are.

Yes, one of the default pages we provide allows members to have their own mini discussion forum. You can have that active by default, inactive but available if THEY enable it, or completely disabled. However, it does not have poll functionality yet.

Oh that's cool, and would that then enable all users to post with their logged in accounts and must they be logged in? Is there guest posting if there isn't on the main forum?

Is it possible to use a VB forum like I said above by creating one in the vb admin and just linking to that?

They must be logged in and they post with their vBulletin username. There is no guest posting.

No, sorry. But that's an interesting idea...

That's cool about the included forum anyway. But this wouldn't use all the bbcodes like anymedia tags and everything I have installed on my vb forum no?

I think my idea should be possible. Maybe this would help and all you would need to do is get the code of the actual forum piece and put it in to html somewhere?

If would be great if we could merge default forum styles with zoints profiles... just like drupal merger...

Need some help!!!

When I try to install this mod. I get the follwing errors

Any one elce get a black page when trying to install

Thank you, upgrade seems to have gone ok. One thing it didn't do though is tell me to delete z/install/index.php and z/install/details.php at the end.

im getting an odd installation error

Warning: main(includes/zoints.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in blah blah...

i've looked at the code etc and theres a chdir call which changes the directory to the root of the z directory, if i do a getcwd() in the code it even reflects that however it still can't find the files. I've absolute pathed the file for testing and it worked but complains about other include files later in other require_once statements.

what haven't i got configured properly as it seems far to extreme for it to be a code issue.

This looks nice.
From what I've read and seen, this does not appear to use the styles of vB, is that correct? That would be disappointing as I have several styles installed on my site that I like. It doesn't feel that tightly integrated.

Since I don't have the skills to actually integrate photopost is there a way to create a link to a users photopost pro gallery from Zoints?

The URL would be something like:

http://forum.com/gallery/showgallery...at/500/ppuser/[The Users User-ID]

I'd want the that link next to where Zoints puts "Blog" "Profile" "My Homepage".
Where can I make that change?

Thank you.

This is an interesting mod, however, I have some questions:

1. Is it fully prashed? I want to translate it

2. What % of this mod needs Zoints.com to work? I really want all the local thing, without interacting with 3rd party sites.

3. Can you really tell me if I need zoints.com to make it work or some kind of zoints.com visible links?

Thanks! :confused:

Ah, but it already does this :) Zoints Local uses all BB codes you create. For example, this screenshot showcases comments that you the popular spoiler and youtube bbcodes :)

:cool: I'll add this to the FAQ, thanks for asking about it!

Thank you for the report. It's obviously due to the much hated (by me ;) ) open_basedir. I'll have an engineer look into how we can best resolve this and get back to you.

Are you using the "Member Bots 1.0 Places search engine bots into Registered Users group" modification? If so, that's the culprit. Please disable it for the install (we'll be providing a permanent fix for this in the next release).

We'll be providing a means to do that in the future (if someone doesn't get to it first).

Our next feature release will allow for translations. :)

The global search goes through Zoints. And there are a few blocks (that could be disabled).

The "Communities" link leads to Zoints and the interest tags. These are all designed to interconnect the communities using Zoints in a mutually beneficial manner.

DChapman:
What I if I don't want to link other communities.
Can "comunnities" link be disabled?

The interests tags block can be disabled. The my communities block can be disabled. However, due to the interconnective nature of this system and a need for a small degree of standardization for those traveling between communities, the navbar communities link cannot.

We may install this at a later date.

Ok Thanks, but Can I just remove the communitie's navbar from the template if I want to?

Here's another thing I'd like to have on my site:

As you can probably tell, I run a poker website. We have 2 parts to our site. Play and Community. Play is where people download our software and community is the forum etc where people discuss various things on poker.

Anyway, with our program, you are able to sign yourself up as an affiliate. This will give you your own referral URL that you can link people to the site, who will then sign up through your link meaning you will earn money for them playing and you will be more likely to refer people to the site.

Zoints could be great for this. But here is the complicated part:

I'd like to be able to allow users to input this code into a banner on their zoints profile. I don't want the user to be allowed to move edit or remove this banner so it will be in the default style (that's another question, can the admins set it so they don't allow users to create their own blocks etc and just have it the way the admins want all their users to have it?).

Since the poker affiliate isn't done through vBulletin and has nothing to do with it, they will be provided with an external code and this code will have nothing to do with their VB user info. So if you could just imagine, here is how I'd like it to work:

User is registered with poker.ie forums now. Zoints is installed. User goes to their zoints homepage/user profile, they see a banner and are told that if you sign up as a poker.ie affiliate, that they can earn money through this banner. User signs up as poker.ie affiliate. User gets code/url. User goes back to profile and is able to paste the code/url they get into the banner, click ok and it removes the "make money with this banner" message and turns the banner into an affiliate link which when people click, will take them to the software page and the software will be downloaded through their link.

Hope your heads ok after that:D

How does this Zoints fitin with Myspace Profile Re-Write PRO! If I have that installed do I need to remove that hack to install this one? Only a question

I don't think you will see the Myspace Profile Re-Write because Zoints replaces your old profiles with new ones. (The Zoints Profiles)

Just another question as well as the one above, I saw this on vbadvanced.com too. I'm using vbadvanced for this page here: www.poker.ie/community, is there any difference between the vbadvanced version and the one you have posted in this thread? Which one do you suggest to use if there is?

If you could please take a minute to go to my site and tell me if this will be able to fit in between the header (the wine coloured part with poker.ie logo and the footer (where it says content copyright etc and also the bit above that where it says contact us/archive/poker.ie). Every demo I have seen of it so far doesn't carry the forum style which would be quite a shame if it couldn't.

I'd also like the ability to remove the communities/forum/search/help/login buttons that appear to be on every demo and just basically have the body within the body of my current site. Is this possible?

I know I read before that you have to have www.sitename.com/z/username so it can be recognised by the zoints website, but is it possible to use vBSEO to just get rid of the /z/ part, but still leave it there if you know what I mean?

I'd really appreciate any feedback to this and the above post:)

No Im not I put a Tix in as well and still no Luck

Few questions that come to my mind at this moment.

Can I add my headers/footers to the pages?

Can I add my Google Analytics code to the <head>?

I use PhotoPost Pro on my site... is there a way to integrate it with Zoints Local?

Can I make the "Only search this community" checkmark on the search page to be checked as default?

Those are the questions I have for now.... excellent job... :)

There doesn't seem to be any control over what each user can do. By that I mean, there is no control over how much space a member can take up with pictures and whatnot. Also, even superadmins cannot access an area that they don't have permissions for. A user could be uploading porn and we would have no way of really knowing if they locked out everyone in their group permissions list.

Cant Install
gettin this error

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class xmlparser in /home/content/u/n/i/unitedpunjab/html/includes/class_xml.php on line 497

Hi Harry,

This will be fixed in 1.0 RC3. I apologize for the trouble.

Yes, you can disable editing of styles. And you can lock blocks so members can't disable them. You would need to create a custom block for your affiliate idea but it shouldn't be too hard.

Can I as an administrator in this Zoints Local set an specific block(s) that can be moved, but not be removed from users profile? Just like the "Sponsored Links" in the centralized Zoints?

It depends what you want to use Zoints Local for. If you want to use it for new profiles, then yes, you'll need to remove your MySpace hack. If you want to use it for the blogs or personalized homepage or something else, then don't upload the vBulletin product which redirects the profile and simply link to it another way. There are an infinite number of uses for Zoints Local. Use it in a manner that would best suit your forum :)

Yes, you can "lock" and unlock blocks with a single click. :)

*edit* I've attached a screenshot of the legend which shows this and other features.
