Got this MySQL error after upgrading my test forums to 3.6.6 and 3.7.7:
I haven't upgraded my real forums yet, but I am assuming that I just need to change the permissions for class_core.php, since the upgrade wrote over it, and it will be fine. So I just wanted to mention it. I will post the results after I upgrade tonight, but it doesn't seem to be a major error. Zoints seems to be working fine otherwise, though I haven't done a full test of it's functions.

Thank you for letting us know tminus, I'll be passing this onto the engineers as soon as I can so they are aware.

What is the safest way to unistall this? To remove the DB tables as well?

Hi Michael,

Zoints Local has an uninstaller, you will need to access /z/install/manager.php to find it (it should be the third option.) After that, just delete the /z/ folder from your server. Make sure you also remove the product (or disable it) from your Admin CP, or vB will be calling for profiles that no longer exist (after the removal of course). Uninstalling the product and using the uninstaller link should remove the tables in vBulletin and outside of it. If you have problems with this, make sure to open a ticket up at network.zoints.com.

I'm sorry Zoints Local wasn't what your forum was looking for.

Holey crap wow!! Very nice job sir!

Hi. 59 pages and did a search for Arabic..didn't find anything. My question is..my forum is in Arabic..if I install zoints in English will it be like messed up or what? I have no intention of translating it..it looks huge..I just wanna know if it will work side be side with my current Arabic language forum.
Thanks

Hi haytham,

Zoints Local should work just fine next to an installation of vBulletin in another language other than English.... outside of the fact of it being a different language of course ;). Just tonight I was looking at a forum completely in Russian (from the banner to the text) but working alongside with a Zoints Local that comes as default in English perfectly. If you have any apprehension about installing though, make sure to backup before you install to play it safe (which should be done before any major modification or hack is applied.)

ok thanks..one more question. What's the zoint profile that I downloaded? It doesn't say what to do with it. Also will I need to make another database for zoints or will it use the one for VB? Thanks

Hi again,

I am not really for sure what you are exactly referring to. Both downloads on this thread are necessary to install and integrate Zoints with your forum, if you are asking about the package labeled as zointsprofile2.1.4 then you will need to locate the product within that folder and upload it through your vBulletin Admin CP (this allows for the redirection to the Zoints profiles) and it also has instructions of how to make various template edits in case you are using a custom style that wouldn't allow for the automatic template edits to take place. Please let me know if I didn't hit upon what you were asking about Haytham.

Oh and as for the database question, in the installation the installer will take you through the steps of where to put the Zoints tables, by default it goes within your forums' database with the prefix zp_ (and it will uninstall just fine in the future if you decide that it's not for your forum.)
