Integration with vBulletin - Complete Wordpress/Vbulletin Bridge - Share Users And Postings [Archive] - Page 4

Jafo232

12-10-2007, 02:00 AM

Before I implement this AWESOME Bridge on my site I would like to know if this Hack will always be updated for future versions of vBulletin. I can't use it if someday it will be outdated and unsupported because I am planning for long term solutions.

Well, I cannot promise anything. The work is done for free by myself and I also use the bridge on several sites. If you are leveraging a lot of money on your sites, you may want to set some aside in case you need a programmer to mod the hack for you if for whatever reason, I can not manage it from here.

Also do you anticipate any issues with vBulletin 3.7? It's a sweet hack.

Have no idea. I know nothing about the next version of VB..

Do you have to use the shared login functionality? I am only interested in shared posting / comments.

You do not HAVE to use it, no.

That aside, I have a couple of questions:

Does the user-bridging work with WP-Cache?
If I modify the comments loop, will it be backwards compatible with comments handled by WP?
Would it be possible to have a HTML form for posting inline rather than going to the VB page?

Thanks!
alexjc

In the order you asked:

Works fine with WP-Cache..

You can if you use the if/else method.

Probably not.

great pluggin, exactly what I needed to do.

I've been following the instructions that I've read on this thread, but I'm still having issues that may be a simple fix, I'm just very tired and desperate to get this working.

I did follow all the corrections posted in the thread as far as hard coding my paths after retrieving my path by running the DirPath.php script.

I can longer access my WP dashboard without deactiving the vbbridge pluggin by renaming the file on the remote server.

any help would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks in advance

Jafo232

Ok, well first, the directions you read for hardcoding your path may be old. This version was released about 10 days ago (from this post) so if the thread you read was older than that, it probably isn't correct anymore.

It sounds to me that your forum home page setting is wrong, and that you did not map users before you turned auto-integration on.

12-10-2007, 03:36 AM

oh wow you are quick, thanks for the fast response ! the login now remains as oyu go to different paages, the problem now is i cannt access to wp dashbord, before i made all the adjustments suggested in the previous posts, i would receive fatal errors that wouldnt allow me to write a post, now the posting to a thread on the forum works great, but i didnt do any mapping untill i activated the feature and noticed the additional tab in WP dashbords' user section.

jcap1p

12-10-2007, 03:40 AM

i suppose if you could tell me where this url comes from: http://www.raceforaseat.com/www.raceforaseat.com/forums

when i attempt to access www.raceforaseat.com/wp-admin or wp-login

i cud prob figure it out from there...?

im sorry i am exhausted ritenow

Jafo232

12-10-2007, 03:44 AM

I think that is where you entered the wrong thing for the forum URL.. If you disable the product (rename it if you have to) and login with your WP credentials, then enable it again (rename it back if you have to), turn integration off...

Go to your settings and make sure the setting for "Forum URL" is:

http://www.raceforaseat.com/forums

Map your users..

Then turn integration back on.

jcap1p

12-10-2007, 03:52 AM

just did all that step by step...i didn't have the 'http://" in the Forum Url which was the problem with accessing my WP dashbord..but im still having user issues...i made sure my users were mapped, as far as banned users i selected "do not map" then i went into VBbridg options and enabled auto intergrate...and the sessions are still not in tune..i can be logged in as admin thru WP and logged in as test in Vbulletin at the same time, also i cannot see vb users in WP dashbord and visaverca ..

is it OK that im using seperate databases? i tried to import one into the other but apparently my host limits sql query file sizes to 2 MB..

jcap1p

12-10-2007, 03:58 AM

OK i think i just lost that last post, but i did what you say step by step, my forum URL didnt have "http://" so that fixed the wp dashbord issue..but i still am having issues with the users

does it matter im using seperate Databases, i tried to merge them but my host limits sql queries to 2MB

jcap1p

12-10-2007, 04:07 AM

I havn't made any changes and the login sessions are being lost when you go to a different page or refresf the page..dont know what happened, im going to give up for tonite, but any help you can give me for tommorrow i would appreciate..you can access both systems (WP and VB) with the username 'test' and password 'password'

thanks in advance

Jafo232

Hmm, not sure what you did here.. I set up a test user called test123. Did you map regular users? Have you made any cookie changes in VB?

I am noticing an issue. If you logout on vb it does not log out of wp. If you log out from wp it logs out of vb. I will test some more on this but noticed it the other day.

yeah it is called edit the templates! Create your own theme. I just did it and so can you. There is a file in theme called header edit away!

How do you get the navbar to work? My site has two navbars and a custom login section. I'd need to get that to work on the wordpress page.

Just wondering if you knew how to incorporate the navbars there AWJunkies.....

jcap1p

12-10-2007, 01:21 PM

Ok I got it working now, everything is working flawlessly. its mapping users to WP as i log into VB then attempt to access the WP dashboard, which is fine! what i didnt know was you MUST be logged into VB to access any WP resources, so VB's membership systems is more dominate over WP's, ok so i'm thrilled thats working..

NOW if i can just get the script that either displays statistics of your log in(for those who are logged in) or a log in form (for those not logged in) on my WP home page, i'de be all done. I'm attempted to copy and paste the script i found in VB's index.php which checks to see if the user is logged in, but this didn't work. I imagine i could write my own script to accomplish what i want, but i would like to to match the login box/form on VB in the top right identical, this was it doesn't confuse users.

thanks for the help !

YES! I do know how it is integrated perfect on my board along with coppermine and much more to come.

You can log into ANY of the three in the login area I created and it will log you into all three. You will see go play around.

There are more links in the header as you can see but these are the only ones integrated for now. ClipShare is next along with Geodesic solutions and much more :)

Just a quick remark. I had many problems getting this plugin to run, it kept giving me trash in the code. While examining the code, I found out the reason:

on lines 293 and 607 the php code is opened with <?, which I believe is a deprecated way which does no longer work in php 5.

When I replaced those with <?php everything ran just fine. This might be the reason for some users not getting it to work.

Jafo232

12-11-2007, 12:27 AM

Odd, I never do that either.. Well, I fixed it in the code.

Actually the method does work in php5 unless it is turned off, I believe.. Anyway, thanks for the heads up..

I've just started messing with this mod, and it's my first mod to either vB or WP. I've got to say, I'm impressed.

I do appear to have this issue also. I'm also having a bit of a problem logging out from WP. Everytime I click one of the logout links in WP, I get a 404 error, and it looks like its trying to go to a site like http://mysite/blob/mysite/forums/login.php?do=logout&logouthash=

I thought it was odd, and I'm sure it's something in my settings, just wondered if anyone could point out some things I should check.

Thanks!

Well, if you follow the template edits, you can make the replies to the Vbulletin post, show up inline in WP.. You have to choose which comment method to use, VB or WP..

Hello,
i want to use vB for comments.
I have following wordpress-theme and i can't find the code posted in the readme-file. No code like that in the theme-files...

IF YOU WANT TO USE VB For comments:

Find in any of the following templates: index.php, single.php, page.php.


<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

ADD the following code after it:

<?php
### Vbridge Call
$vbridge = Comment_Handler($post->ID);
###
?>

Find this code (or similar code indicating the comment section of your template):

<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
<!-- <?php comments_popup_link(__('0 Comments'), __('1 Comments'), __('% Comments')); ?>

And replace with this:

<?php
#### Vbridge Replacement code for comments

if ($vbridge[id] > 0) {
?>
<div class="comments">
<?php
if(is_single()) {
if (is_array($vbridge[replies])) {
?>
<br /><br />
<h3 id="comments">Comments:</h3>
<ol class="commentlist">
<?php
foreach ($vbridge[replies] as $reply) {
?>

<li class="<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
<?php echo $vbridge[vb_parser]->do_parse($reply[pagetext], false, true); ?>
<small class="commentmetadata">
    <img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/comment_arr.gif" alt="" />

by <cite> <a href=<?php echo get_option('vbb_VBURL') ?>/member.php?u=<?php echo $reply[userid] ?>><?php echo $reply[username]; ?></a></cite>
</small><br />
</li>

<?php /* Changes every other comment to a different class */
if ('alt' == $oddcomment) $oddcomment = '';
else $oddcomment = 'alt';

}
}
?>
</ol>
<?php
}
?>
<a href=<?php echo get_option('vbb_VBURL') ?>/showthread.php?t=<?php echo $vbridge[id] ?>>(<?php echo intval($vbridge[count]) ?>) comments</a> | <a href=<?php echo get_option('vbb_VBURL') ?>/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&t=<?php echo $vbridge[id] ?>>Add your comments</a>
</div>
<?php
}
##End Vbridge Replacement
?>

You can also now link authors usernames to their VB profile page. Wherever you see the code:

<?php the_author() ?>

You can replace that with something like:

<?php
if ($vbridge[id] > 0) {
?>
<a href=<?php echo get_option('vbb_VBURL') ?>/member.php?u=<?php echo $vbridge[thread_starter] ?>><?php the_author() ?></a>

<?php
}
else {
the_author();
}
?>

The Theme i use: http://themes.blogpimp.de/index.php?wptheme=BlogPimp+WorldNews

I hope somebody can help me...

There is an issue with sessions with this mod. Tried 3 browsers all doing same thing. When you log out of vbulletin 3.6.8 pac2 on the forum site then go to the news site you are still logged in! But if you log out on the news site it logs you out of both news and forum. Two people so far reported same issue on other sites. This is when both news and forums are on same server, same database, same domain.

AWJunkies

12-14-2007, 10:51 PM

Oh, what I am asking is HOW did you pull that off, not IF you can pull it off.

Just take your navbar or header template from vbulletin and throw it in header in the theme your using in news. Now it is not that easy. But play around with it you have to have knowledge on html and css to do this!!!!!

Are there any plans to port this over to version 3.7.0 of vBulletin when it goes gold? It's a brilliant asset and it's be great to have it when the new version of vBulletin is released.

Have a great new year.

Hey Jafo .. Happy Holidays..

I'm currently running VBBridgeII on 2.3.1 and all is well with the exception that it doesnt post to the VBUsers I defined in the vbbridge settings. Any ideas?

I dont mind upgrading, but I dont want to lose my semi-working environment here. Aside from the upgrade docs, is there anything else which I need to be aware of?

Should the comment handling edits be modified? I know that there is a bit that needs modifying..

$reply->pagetext

It is now:

$reply[pagetext]
Can I just make those edits and leave the whole bit in place?
Anything else?

UPDATE:

So I took the leap ..

All I had to change from looking at both codes in diffmerge was
$reply->pagetext

It is now:

$reply[pagetext]

And

$reply userid ?>><?php echo $reply username

to

$reply[userid] ?>><?php echo $reply[username]

Jafo.. that seem right? Seems everything is wokring.. I also realized why it sbeen posting as me and not the user defined.. The username I'm using to author DOES have a vb username..

NVM: i upgraded and it's still not allowing me to edit the posts without messing up the threads.

Edit2: After some playing around with the plugins it seems the problem is: The Google XML Sitemaps plugin latest version:

http://www.arnebrachhold.de/projects/wordpress-plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-generator/

Can you test this out and figure out what the bug is? Both are essential plugins for my site. Thanks and good luck!

I was thinking about this too - I PM'd Jafo but he never replied, so I'll post here.

I was thinking perhaps there is a way to insert the comments into the comment table. I mean, if we can pull them into the individual wordpress posts, there has to be a way to insert it into the wordpress tables too at the time of submitting comment.

Like

Post is made in WP and forum
Users comment within forum
At the time of clicking submit - wordpress table is accessed, post is referenced and comment is inserted, as well as the VB table
use recent comments plugin to query wordpress table

OR

figure out a way to edit the wordpress recent comments plugin to query the vb table, I just dont know how you would know which comment belongs to a wordpress post, unless a prefix is added to posts submitted to the forum through wordpress..

Jafo - this help at all?

Jafo232

12-28-2007, 04:57 PM

Much of what you guys are recommending is beyond the scope in which I wish to take this plugin. Surely there are ways to do what you want, but due to the limited nature of my time, it just isn't feasible at the moment. As it stands now, you can elect to use VB for comments or not, it is up to you.

Hi Jafo, I recently moved servers and reinstalled everything (newer versions also). I'm running vB 3.6.8 & WordPress 2.3.1.

Now I constantly get this error when I try to add a new WP article.

I have the following hacks installed:

Custom Status Icons Per Forum
vBSEO
vBSEO :: Sitemap Generator
Welcome Headers

Can you please help me out? I saw another guy on page 49 had the same problem, but the solution you gave him didn't work for me.

Cheers

Please ignore this, I already found out what was going on. I forgot to turn on the plugin on :erm:

Well Jafo your plugin is truly a livesaver for my site :) IF you ever figure out how to use the avatars from the vbulletin on wordpress that would be even greater.

This is just a major problem i need to figure out. How do i get it from trying to show smilies that are not there on the post page? If I can get rid of those X's from displaying it would be even greater.

Guys, first post for me. I'm new to vB but I can get around fine.

I installed this plugin successfully on a fresh install of WP and vB but I'm not having that kind of luck with an existing WP install and a fresh install of vB.

Basically what happens is:

I go through all the steps fine and activate the plugin. After I activate it and try and go to "Writing" or "Manage" or "Dashboard", the page loads blank.

Any ideas?

HunteRRosE

01-04-2008, 01:41 AM

Ahh well... started reinstalling everything from scratch... must have been a plugin or something...

Also, just so you guys know I've tested this plugin with the latest release 2.3.2 and found no problems.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that when you delete a post from WP it deletes the thread in vB... Nice!!!

Also, after my vB admin account got copied over to WP, I deleted the WP Admin account and am using my vB admin account exclusively... hope that doesn't cause any problems down the road but no problems to speak of yet.

Nice plugin!

Jafo232

01-04-2008, 10:13 AM

Could cause issues in the future if the plugin stops working.. You will have to reset the admins password (have it emailed to you), so make sure your admin email address is up to date.

Jafo, what the heck am I doing wrong? I just tried to write an article and link it to the forums and when I hit "publish" the screen turns blank, and nothing happens.

I 've successfully loaded various other articles this way.

Are there any problems that you know of when you create a forum? Like default settings or permissions?

Also, sometimes I can login to my wordpress admin area and then I'll try and create a post and it will say "no user name specified" when it connects to vBulletin. Then I'll log out of wordpress, login to vBulletin, go to my page in wordpress I want to publish and then it redirects me to a white screen when I publish.

Any ideas?

All threads found to be similar and at the bottom of the current thread lead to the root of the forum, not the similar thread linked.

Mine was working smoothly - anyway I had to move to a new server. Everything copied over okay, but on the wordpress page I get:

Fatal error: Undefined class name 'vbulletinhook' in /home/scotsman/public_html/nopantsprovided/forum/includes/class_bbcode.php on line 2405

And I've tried define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); uncommented.

Wings69

01-07-2008, 06:31 AM

Heh - never mind, problem was that for whatever reason during the move, "turn plugin on" was turned off. Funny how after searching through tons of code trying to figure out if theres a problem, it always turns out to be so goddamn simple :) Oh well - I'll take this time to thank Jafo for all his hard work

Wings69

01-07-2008, 06:46 AM

Actually - is there any way to display who has written the post on VB? Like at the top of every article in WP it lists who writes it, using this code:

<i>Written <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <?php _e('by'); ?>
<?php
if ($vbridge[id] > 0) {
?>
<a href=<?php echo get_option('vbb_VBURL') ?>/member.php?u=<?php echo $vbridge[thread_starter] ?>><?php the_author() ?></a></i>

<?php
}
else {
the_author();
}
?>

Any way for that to display on the actual article that gets posted to the forums?

Jafo232

01-07-2008, 10:14 AM

If you get a blank screen, this usually indicates an error, and that your server is setup to NOT display errors. Check your error log. I have found that when this happens to people, it is usually another plugin conflicting with it (on the VB side) Try uncommenting this line the vbbridge.php file:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

As for showing the author in the thread, doesn't VB automatically show in the thread information who posted?

As for showing the author in the thread, doesn't VB automatically show in the thread information who posted?

Rather than having the people listed as authors and letting them do it themselves, we have them as contributors. They submit the story for review, then me and a few others review it, fix up any errors etc, then mark it as published.

However, whoever it is that marks it as published - that's the username that shows up as posting it on the forum. Even on Wordpress, and in the story itself where it lists author it lists the original author, but because we're approving it, it shows up on vb as the person that approved it.

Jafo232

01-11-2008, 06:42 PM

Hmm, I don't think there is a way around it at the moment unless you manually change it in VB.. When 3.7 is released, I will look into it..

Is there any way to make it so it remembers the forum it was posted into when you edit?

Every time I edit I have to go back and re-select the forum and because I have multiple authors, this can sometimes get confusing.

Also - It seems to always post under my name (the admin) and not the person who made the article - is this something I have wrong in the settings?

CyberRanger

01-14-2008, 03:52 PM

Is there any way to make it so it remembers the forum it was posted into when you edit?There's not right now but that would be a great enhancement. I think what's really needed is that if the article is already posted to a forum, you are only shown the forum it's posted in and asked if you want to update the posting when you save the article.

Also - It seems to always post under my name (the admin) and not the person who made the article - is this something I have wrong in the settings?
It's going to post using the name of that you are signed into vbulletin with.

Hey guys! No complaints here! Everything is running smoothly again.

Does anyone know how I could display only the latest post? or the last 5 posts... or something, instead of it displaying all of the posts as the comments.

Real quick this is what I ended up doing:

I am basically using this plugin so that my posts are automatically created in the forums. On my post it basically says "Discuss in the forums...", with a link to the post. Underneath I have used the built-in comment system. Above it I want to list the latest posts in the forums on the topic.

HunteRRosE

01-15-2008, 04:48 AM

Oh yeah... a little off topic, but I am using an AJAX comment system and have edited the comments so they post in reverse order (newest comments on top). However when you post your comment it posts it underneath until you refresh the page. Anyone know how to fix that?

I hate to ask without having read the whole thread, but I've gone through a dozen or so pages and haven't found an answer so, a couple questions I have if you don't mind:

1. I've searched for a solid hour, and cannot figure out how to turn off the New User Registration notice Emails that I get every time a new user is created by the bridge. Is there an easy solution to turn this off?

2. On the Write Post page, in the "Select Forum To Post To" box, authors and contributors can see ALL the forums on my site, not just the forums they have access to. Forums they specifically are disallowed access to show up in the list. Is there any way to prevent this?

Thanks for your time, and if these questions have been asked a hundred times, I apologize.

This add on is amazing and does everything I want. :up:

Jafo .

I'm preparing to use a WP plugin called WP-Sticky.. I asked the developer if he thought there might be a conflict using it since I'm using the VBridge.

His response was

WP-Sticky will conflict with any plugins that modifies the WordPress main SQL query

So.. does VBridge do modify the query at all??

Thanks Jafo..

Thanks for the great work on this plugin.

After installing, I have a few questions.

#1) When I create a post using Wordpress, a new thread is auto added to the vbulletin forum. When I create a new thread in vBulletin, the thread is not added to the wordpress blog. I was hoping to use vBulletin as the comment engine. Any help on this would be appreciated.

#2) How do you enable the Comments link on Wordpress posts to link to the approrpaite vBulletin thread?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Of course it isn't added to the blog. If you follow the template instructions, you will get an answer to both of your questions.

Hey Jafo

Not quite sure if somebody else is having this issue since I didn't found anything related. Okay I use the mod mainly to display an article on the frontpage as on the forums as well without having it to write twice :) Now I also use vB for the comments and here we got a problem. As long as nobody write a comment the single.php wordpress site looks good. But as soon as somebody do a reply the site (single.php) from my wordpress get screwed up and is totally messed.

Any ideas what that could be?

I have no idea especially since I have absolutely no clue on what you mean by "my wordpress get screwed up and is totally messed".

Could that be that all of a sudden a picture of sex in the mud shows up on your screen? Does it mean a million SQL errors show themselves? Could it be [enter any one of the millions of things your vague description could entail here]..

No, just /forums.

changing it to /forums only removes all forums in the "post comments in this forum:" feild in the post area. remember, /forums is not relative to my wordpress installation, /../forums is.

I still get a blank page, even uncommenting the hooks:true line in the php file.

The formating of your comments section must be breaking the page. Be useful if you posted the code for your single.php file.

Hellow every body,
I install this bridge and work good but I have two problems, I will talk about one now because I need asolution for it nowadays.

The first problem that this bridge dont work with Arabic usernames,
I mean when the username in English, the user login at wordprss and be one of wordpress useres. but when username in Arabic its not working and the user not logged in at wordpress.
That because I let registeration in Arabic names. so I need to fix this problem

any idea?

Jafo232

02-14-2008, 01:22 PM

Don't allow arabic characters, that should fix it.

No, it is not possible. You are confusing multiple databases with multiple domains. The domain restriction is still in effect.
Is there any way around this?

This is a great addon, thanx :)

I have some questions though, as I couldn't find the answers to them in the 29 pages worth of stuff on this particular thread.

* How do I map my Blog categories with my Forum categories?
* If a user gets promoted to a new user group in vBulletin, does it automatically change his privilege in Wordpress as well?

I've been using the bridge for quite some time without an issue.

Good work!

There is one thing I'd like to do but I have read anything on how to do it.

I would like to embed the forums into wordpress. Something like I've seen phpbb embedded into PostNuke and others.

Is there a way to embed vB into WP pages?

Thanks!

You may want to edit the vbbridge.php file where it says:

## If you get errors relating to the class 'vBulletinHook' not found, uncomment next line.
# define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Has anyone got this to work?

I'd love to see if this works for us but this thread is scary. I'm going to have to hire someone to do this for me and I don't want them stumbling around with trial and error. Also please excuse my low tech-ness but I'm not quite sure what the bridge DOES. I don't much care about WP bloggers being able to comment. I want people to join if they want to discuss an entry which is why I want it tied to a forum. I'm most interested in being able to create tags and categories so people can read past entries by subject matter.

Also, does the WP theme have to be duplicated to match the forum skin? I have two active but very different skins and I'm not sure how it would work if we had to pick one skin.

Sorry for the questions, I've never worked with Word press before and I'm not sure how this works.

Fraik

02-20-2008, 09:19 AM

This has worked great for my news system

What it does, is give forum users an account on wordpress (you can determine which group you want to take on which role). Comments can be handled either by wordpress or by the forum, whichever you want. If you want it to be on the forums (like me) it will automatically post a thread, to which your users can reply.

I love this plugin as it allows me to use all the great features of the WP posting tool like pinging other sites, category and tag archives etc. - while I can still use vBulletin to handle discussions and comments. I used vbExternal before, but this is much more stable in regard to converting HTML -> BBcode

Installed, however:

When my users view a blog post and click on comments, it does not take them to the forum in which the article was posted to... if comments are on, it uses WP commenting. If comments are off it there is no option to comment at all.

Are there changes that have to be made to get that feature to work? I felt that was the best benefit of this mod. I don't want people to be able to comment unless they are a member of the forums. I've seen it work on jeffsrecipes.com... it is not working that way for me.

Blog addy (http://www.phenomsonline.com/blog)

Second, when my members go to the blog, it auto adds them as a user. Is it supposed to do that? *DUH, read the ReadME

I'm not sure I want to leave the allow html enabled for the forum because of the security risk.

Any suggestions?

There will be any other issue, but I don't what :(
Are my settings correct? Please check attached file.

No this isnt the idea of the mod..

Has anyone experienced a bunch of question marks (??) in between characters of posts in Wordpress since installing the mod?

Research says that its due to encoding not being UTF-8 ..

Has anyone else experienced this?
Same problem here with VB 3.6.8 and Wordpress 2.3.3.

Anyway I love this plugin, simply fantastic and really usefull. I hope to donate some cash, I need to add some money on the credit card but I will ;)

In the installation instructions, it asks for the following options to be defined:

VB User ID
VB Username

It says this is the username comment threads will be started with if the author is not registered with VB.
I am doing a new install and I currently have only one user, the admin one. Is this a dummy user like guest or anonymous it wants?

Am I supposed to make up a fake user to post comments with? Not sure what to do here.

Jafo232

02-29-2008, 04:43 PM

Use the userid and username of the admin.. This is only a fallback if someone writes a blog entry but is not a registered forum user.

botbay

02-29-2008, 06:58 PM

I'll do that, it should have something in the readme file to let you know to use your admin user, I didn't want to guess at what I should do. From previous experience with other integration modules like wp-united, it seems that all the stars have to align just right and you must be standing on your head with your hair dryer on while you click the last button in order for things to work. I am really hoping to have a better experience with this mod than I did with wp-united.

On a SEO note, wouldnt posting to the forum everytime I write a post in WP creat duplicate content. Still dont understand the advantages of this bridge besides the user login facility!?!

All i really want is to have new forum posts show up in WP and have a link to the forum on the menu!

All you need to do is delete it from WP, not both.

You login to the forum only once the bridge is installed. Renaming the plugin or otherwise disabling it reverts back to the old method. Please read the readme.

Duplicate content may or may not be an issue to you. This is why there is an excerpt option to post to the forum in the Vbridge settings section.

So I got vbbridge up and running and working fine. Including the comments used from the thread.

Since then comments have stopped working on all new posts. The only thing I can think of that has changed are the character encoding settings. I reverted those to what I had before but comments still do not work on any new post, and continue to work on some old posts.

Also searching via wordpress no longer is functional.

Anyone have some thoughts/ideas?

Maybe you can help with this one. Everything works fine. Comments are fine, users being crossed over are fine, posts on the blog are posted to the forum fine, the only thing that doesn't work correctly is the post count.

When posting to the blog, the post gets automaticly posted to the forum like it should but the post count of the poster doesn't go up. When you delete a post it goes down like it should?

I had the blog and forum in seperate databases using seperate users, I then tried the same database with seperate users.

The blog is located at www.sitename.com/ and the forum is located at .com/forum/

Ive read through and the location of the blog and the forum doesn't seem to be the problem, maybe the database is tho?

All in all this is a great mod which just this being an issue for me.

I have a big problem.
I've activated the plugin, following the installation instructions.
I've paid attention on creating a wordpress administrator username different from the admins in Vbulletin, so to avoid login problems in wordpress after activating auto-integration.
I map users in Vbridge user options, then I put auto-integration on...
Then, when I enter wordpress homepage I can see I'm logged in (I can post comments with my VB username), but if I try to enter administration, it says I've not enough permissions (I'm administrator in VB, and I've mapped vbridge so that vb admins become admins in wordpress...
)
I've tried to remove and re-upload the plugin, cancel vbbridge mysql entries, but I receive always the same error.
it doesn't map users, even if it recognize I'm logged in...
Can someone help me?

Question - is it possible to sync ONLY posts with vBulletin, not users?

We definitely want all new Wordpress posts to start a new thread and be cross-linked from Wordpress, but we have no need for vBulleting users to login to Wordpress.

Are there any db changes in vbulletin or just in wordpress ?

Can't tell you about 3.7, wont know until 3.7 is released.

No DB changes to VB.

Hi all...

Well, this is a little explanation by me on how to fix the error: "you do not have enough permissions to access this site" in some NON-ENGLISH blogs/forums caused by bad mapping user procedure.

For this, we will map users manually from the database with a Db Manager like PhpMyAdmin for example.

First, Reinstall the plugin.

After, To make the changes we need to do the following steps:

Go to the table:

Your_wordpress_db -> wp_optionsFind the rows with the following prefixes ( "options_name" column):

Vbb_vbugroup_XWhere "X" is your VBULLETIN USERGROUP

Now, we must change the field "option_value" in each row for the desire User group permissions (Check the legend at the end of this post), and save.

For Example :

"I wish that my Vbulletin administrators can also manage the blog wordpress"

MY Vbulletin AdministratorsID: 9

so... In my wordpress Database i Go to :

MyWORDPRESSDB -> wp_options... I Search:
vbb_vbugroup_9And change the "option_value" field in the row for: administrator

And Done, my Vbulletin Administratorscan manage wordpress blog too!!! without "you do not have enough permissions to access this site" error.

Note, use the following values to update fields:

-- For your Wordpress ADMINS group ---> administrator
-- For your Wordpress EDITORS group ---> editor
-- For your Wordpress AUTHORS group ---> author
-- For your wordpress CONTRIBUTOR group ---> contributor
-- For your wordpress SUBSCRIBER / SUSCRIPTOR group ---> subscriber

NOTE 2 :

* If you add more Vbulletin Usergroups, you must be re-map the users.
* DONT USE the Vbridge User Settings !!!

Testing and running on Vbulletin 3.6.8 and Wordpress 2.3.3.

This issue is caused by a translation in wordpress (ES_es.mo), i think.

Installed.. seems to be working fine other than one issue.
Can anyone help?

When users are mapped, they show up under under "Users" in WP admin, but their "role" is left blank. So, when I mapped my administrators, I had to manually go in and set their role to "Administrator." Registered Users from vbulletin are mapped over, but are not listed as Subscribers.

Hey guys, I know this expressely says "will not work with WPMU" - any idea of how to get one working with wpmu though? Id love to know, and I have seen another board with it already working, where they hacked the user password fields in wpmu to use the vbulletin db

One other issue I am having is that when the plugin is enabled, I am no longer able to use the theme editor.

I'm using it on 2.5 RC 2. Haven't upgraded to the final version yet. I only have the problems I mentioned but it seems others have the same issues on the older versions as well.

That said, I haven't used it very much or checked for other bugs.

Haven't tried it yet on 2.5.. I see they are salting passwords.. Shouldn't be an issue, but it will have to wait until I get some time to tinker..

Something tells me you activated the plugin before you did the test post as per the readme.

I am very confused about how users are supposed to work with this plugin.

I followed all the directions and everything worked at every stage, so I now have the plugin activated with auto-integration turned on. HOWEVER, I can only get to the dashboard from a computer that logs in with the plugin turned off. Let me explain what I mean by that.

On my laptop I can get everywhere, dashboard, forum admin area, everywhere. However when I went to my desktop this morning I could not get to the dashboard no matter what I did. I logged into the forum but no matter what path I used (/wp-admin, /wp-admin/index.php, etc) I could not get to the dashboard. I tried creating a new VB user to map to an admin WP account, but it still didn't work.

I had to go back to my laptop, turn off the plugin, log in on my desktop and click "remember me" and then everything is fine on my desktop as well.

I thought the idea was that you used this plugin, logged in via VB, and were then logged in in WP?

Also, I do not fully understand this line: "If the admin username in Vbulletin is the same as the one in Wordpress (i.e. Admin), that user will NOT be able to login to the WP dashboard."

Does this mean that each user can only be an admin in one section or the other, and never both, or is this only at the time of installation? Right now I have VB admins set to map to WP admins (makes sense, no?). But maybe that doesn't matter because the new user I just set up in VB doesn't show up in the WP users area.

But ironically the username that works totally on my laptop is an admin in both sections of the site and can use both with no problem.

Sigh, these may be very obvious questions, but I'm so confused and my observed behavior isn't matching up to what it says I should expect in the readme.

"If the admin username in Vbulletin is the same as the one in Wordpress (i.e. Admin), that user will NOT be able to login to the WP dashboard."

Not sure how to make this any clearer.. If you have a Vbulletin user who has a username "Admin" and a separate Wordpress user who has a username "Admin" they WILL NOT bridge. Existing usernames that are identical in both Wordpress and Admin will not bridge.

Dunno how clearer I can make that.

Ok, so if I set up a new Admin in VB and admin's are set to map to admin's in WP, that new VB Admin should map to a Wp admin, correct?

EDIT: I think I've figured it out, any users registered in VB through the control panel do not map to WP, only users that register through the "register" link on the forums get mapped over.

03-30-2008, 10:10 PM

Actually, your almost right.. You have to make sure you enter an email address when you create a user in the VB adminCP..

I have upgraded to wp 2.5 and the plugin breaks the new interface for adding media and pictures to posts, it will return 'Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again'.
Any fix for that, please?.

Is there any reason you can't use this plugin in a reduced functionality mode?

Everything works fine without Auto-Integration turns on, once that happens things go pear shaped with logins and cookies and users and it's just a big mess I can't sort out.

However, without that I still get my posts in WP sent over to VB and I still get the link for the comments in my WP posts, which is all I really want. The logging in through VB and user mapping and all that I don't need.

Would that work? Just turn the plugin on, post to forums turned on, but auto-integrate turned off?

Auto-integrate is turned off ... but it still don't work :-(

I have a feeling the #1 issue why some could not get the bridging to work is that they were creating a VB user with no email address, throwing a silent error in WP and not adding the user to WP. Had WP ever griped about it, I would have seen it. I added code to this version to just add a null email address to the field if it doesn't exist.

Thanks for this mod, I'm following it step by step foe the 3rd time in the hope that it'll work 100% this time.

I'm at the 'Map Users' stage. I can see all the vBulletin usergroups and I can see my published blogs on my vBulletin forum so everything is working up to this point.

When I click 'Map Users', it says 'options saved'. Then I turn on "Turn Auto-Integrate On" and check my WB users and only userid - 1 has ported accross (my account). Then I can no longer gain access to the dashboard and getting a permissions denied error. I need to remove the vbbridge.php file from /wp-content/plugins folder and manually delete my vB admin account from the blog mysql database before I have control again.

Any help would be appreciated please?

Thanks
