How do I restrict access to the profile link in navbar to registered members only?

I looked in this forum and Zoints forums but must have missed the solution.

Update. Found out it's not possible at this time without some coding.

Hi there, here is the fix (which will also be in Zoints Local 1.0.2)

Edit file: /z/privacy.php

Find:

Code:

                foreach ($this->tabs as $tabid => $tab)

                {

                        foreach ($tab['disallowed'] as $gid)

                        {

                                $this->_template->checked($tabid, $gid, true);

                        }

                }

Replace with:

Code:

                foreach ($this->tabs as $tabid => $tab)

                {

                        if (is_array($tab['disallowed']))

                        {

                                foreach ($tab['disallowed'] as $gid)

                                {

                                        $this->_template->checked($tabid, $gid, true);

                                }

                        }

                }

I noticed you cannot remove or change the zoint navbar. That needs to be changed. I find it unhelpful that zoints seems to think they know whats best for other people's forums. The decision to even have that navbar should be up to the forum owner. Your interstate and roadsign analagy makes sense yes but ignores the fact that poeple might not want to have that interstate rolling through their community out of their control. I see alot of improvement from the original zoints central and I just may give it a try but I still dont get a warm feeling that gives me confidence in zoints' full intentions.

Totally agree. At least Zoints is making progress moving from the centralized version to offering a local version and then an autonomous version. I also feel like I know what is best for my forum and I know many other admins, especially those with larger boards, feel the same way.

We're finding that about 85% like or don't mind the interconnecting and about 15% prefer autonomy. We do sell an autonomous license that does everything you want for $120.00

The newest versions of Zoints Local all automatically pull the entire header and footer.

http://dev.zoints.com/showthread.php?t=26

If anyone has a photopost license one of our developers could play with, we'd be happy to make it happen. We've requested a developers license but nothing ever materialized. There's already a photoplog block and many other blocks that have been made.

Can a user delete their zoints profile?

No, but you can close it for them. Or they can just turn it off to all usergroups.

What url does it take you to? Do your profiles work when manually typed in? If so, what url are those at?

I concur you know what is best for your forum too. This modification is setting the foundation for interconnecting forums. Anyone can create a decent profile system. If that's what we were trying to do, we would have integrated with vBulletin 100%. Our vision is to allow people to hop from community to community to community like driving along a virtual freeway. Is it what everyone wants? No, and we respect that. But I prefer to innovate. And any time you innovate, you're going to polarize groups of people. It's not that we have done anything WRONG (though we obviously have many areas to improve) it's that we've done things different. Different doesn't mean bad :)

In the end, together we are strong. And the self-marketing campaign that will be included in Zoints Local 1.0.2 is going to prove that. A single forum marketing themselves will have a hard time being noticed. But hundreds of forums all utilizing the same means of marketing gets people to take notice.

Stay tuned...

So people could sign up for each community (guild or games). Then I could appoint leaders of sort who could create a specific page for the community (guild) posting relevant info such as their own home page etc.

Is this requirement too far removed from Zoints? What I am trying to do is build a community by exposing folks to more than just their own little community but perhaps they may wish to take part in more than one community i.e. multiple games.

I am trying to understand it at the conceptual level. I will give it a test drive this weekend.

Thank you.

What if you created a user for each guild? Maybe the Guild Master could control that user. Then your other users could add the guild to their network.

DChapman, I think we all respect what you are doing with Zoints:) I do anyway:) But when you compare it to the likes of a Virtual Highway with interconnecting routes, everyone knows that the towns people like to see business coming into their community, but not going out of it. For you, the government (lol) you want to give your people the freedom and become economically sound, but as with real life, the oul corner shop just wont be able to compete with the big Supermarket that has just opened 500 metres down the road.

The customers start to go to the bigger shops where they can get everything that was in the smaller, specialist shops but it's more convenient because it's all under the same roof.

This relates to traffic being taken away from the smaller sites with zoints and probably ending up at a bigger site with a broader range of forums where people can get responses to their questions quicker and everything else that a bigger site has over the smaller guys, by just using the one account to log in to.

We're not putting the time, effort and money into our sites just to end up sending everyone off to the big sites, even though it could benefit the internet population as a whole, even still, there's just no point in it for us.

If you want to look at it in extremities, Zoints could also one day be void because it's job has been done, it's brought everyone together, all the smaller sites are no more and the bigger sites can now advertise and there will be no need for Zoints or for smaller, specialist sites. This is of course an extreme but could eventually happen if things went absolutely to plan.

So I don't think this would be good for any of us.

Just one thing, when you told DannyITR that Zoints Autonomous provides everything he asked for, does this include getting rid of /z/ that he mentioned too? I thought this wasn't possible?
