Just tried to install on a newly updated forum: (vBulletin 3.7.2 Patch Level 1) But I get the following error when I try to import the product file:

The following dependencies were not met:

1. This product is not compatible with version 3.7.0 Release Candidate 3 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.7.0)

Any clues?

You can set an option on the form to ignore the requirement version when installing the product.

I responded to your thread on our support forums as well, but I'll post here too, just in case you check here first!

Did you run the installer at

www.yoursite.com/forumdir/z/install/index.php

The installer creates the configuration file. If you ran the installer already, you can submit a support query with Admin details and FTP details and we will take a look for you to see what is causing the problem. :)




This file is included in the download. If you're not finding it on your server, you will want to verify that all files were uploaded to the correct location.

Thank You!!

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)

Is there an official place to report bugs, or is this thread the correct place?


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.

how do i remove all the files? I uninstalled it and deleted the files off the server and it still shows up in my admincp

I had a look at the source code presented to the browser and found the problem. The browser is presented with this line of code:

<label for="z_tinymce_editor">Message<br />


This line of code SHOULD look like this:

<label for="z_tinymce_editor">Message</label><br /> (label tag closed)


It will then work correctly. What file can I edit to change this?

Nevermind. Here's the fix:


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


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

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



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


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

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

Hmm... must say I like the looks of it, with the exception of the Global search and all the interforum stuff, which won't help my site at all...

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.

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!

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.

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.

- Reid

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.

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.

- Reid

Hmm... To bad.

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

SGL.

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?

SGL.

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.)

Should I then upload all the files, or just the profile folder? You say the profile system will be in place but not integrated with the forum, what do you mean with that? 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.

SGL.

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.

????????????????

have you uninstalled the vB Product?

it was uninstalled

Does the actual editor still appear? Or just the menu dropdown offering the option to?

Okay if the Zoints Local vBulletin Product has been uninstalled and it's still there you may need to rebuild your bitfields. Which is under "vBulletin Options" in the Administration Control Panel.

I don't see that option.

it still shows up when i go to Repair / Optimize Tables .

you ran both the vB Product Uninstall and the Zoints Uninstall?

maybe i need to do a zoints uninstall. Even though the files are deleted?

Yes, if you just deleted the files and didn't run the uninstaller. So, silly as it sounds, it would make sense to try reuploading the files and then running the uninstaller.

If anyone wants to have a look at some of the things I've done with this addon, they can have a look here:

http://www.majorleaguetalk.com/forum...jdelasko&tab=6 (This is open for guest viewing. You don't have to register)

Keep in mind that I am somewhat aesthetically challenged, so the color combinations on some of the pages may not appeal to you. I just work on my pages to demonstrate some of the capabilities and, as such, the content on these pages in most cases, is not meant to express any sort of intelligent thought... It's all just a demo.

Since the addition of the tinyMCE editor to Zoints Local, an entire world of possibilities has opened up for vBulletin bloggers. As of this lastest release, there's simply nothing else like this product.

How can I see the profile function then, if I don't get taken to a zoints profile when I click on a profile?


That dog video was hilarious! :D
The Forum, Search, Community & Join buttons on top, are they mandatory or could you chose to drop them? (I'd rather put stuff like that in my navbar, and would prefer to drop the community button if not obligatory).

SGL.

Zoints looks excellent... can you please tell me if it will fit into my current theme :-

www.ttcommunity.com

Thanks

You are required to maintain those items. We are not currently offering a fully autonomous installation option. (This was available in the past for a fee, and may be available again in the future, but there are no immediate plans to reinstate such an option.)

It's very customizable, and should definitely be something you can implement with your current theme :)

Hi SWM,

Just to tell you, sometimes with custom styles if the images for the style are not appearing while looking at Zoints Local it is usually due to the image paths set in the style (the image paths need to be absolute.) You might not have that problem, it just depends on how your style is set up.

Two things I would suggest doing though to make Zoints Local fit your style:
1.) Before turning it on to the public, create a Zoints Local style that fits your theme and make it default to each Zoints Local page.
2.) If you design graphics or know someone who does, you might want to consider tweaking the graphics a bit to fit the colors of your style.

I have the same problem:( .... Help ?:confused:

Zoints ahead of 3.7 again! :eek:

Hi mkduser,

You need to first have a Zoints.com account. Once you have that, access the following page and follow the steps:
http://zoints.com/forum.z

If you have continued difficulty, you can PM me your Zoints.com username and your forum URL and I will manually register your forum for you, assign your account to it and provide you with the auth. key and token.

- Reid

I installed .... Thank u :up:

Hello,

I posted this issue as a ticket on the zoints.com site, but I'm just too edgy to wait and see how long it takes to get the support for the first time.

Instollation went smmothly, yet - the URL to member profile shows: http://www.topsynergy.net/z/?id=1 instead of whatever should be the PHP filename before the query parameters.

Based on a thread on your forum (http://network.zoints.com/showthread.php?t=4771), I imported .htaccess to the /z/ directory and tried to access http://www.topsynergy.net/z/zadmin.php

The latter has cause the following FF browsing error message: "The page isn't redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

I have vbSEO on my site. What should I check or do next?

Sorry about the delay Shlomo. Early today I saw a fellow team member seeking out the help from one of the engineers so hopefully when we get them to investigate, we can resolve this for you.

- Reid

Hi guys, I have a problem with cyrillic support :( Members that have their usernames in cyrillic cant be access to theirs profiles :(.This error occurs :
Zoints Message-Fatal Error
