Complete Wordpress/Vbulletin Bridge - Share Users And Postings

[Fuzzer]

Create a new user in VB with a totally different name, set to admin. Login to VB as that user, then go to WP.

Yesss! Thank's very much! Now work perfect!

[michaelbenson]

Is this plugin compatible with vBulletin 3.7?
Or are they any plans for future compatibility at least? :)

Great add-on bro, for real....

Question - this might have been answered b4, but I didn't catch it - this only works when you post something on WP - it then posts it to VB. Does it work the other way around? When you post something on VB it gets posted on WP.....

Thanks in advance...

[Jafo232]

Only works one way.

Good, then mark it installed. :D

[jimheiden]

I am following new install instructions. Turned on plugin and clicked save, WP returns following error:

"Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: Result too large (errno 34) in ####\wp-content\plugins\vbbridge.php on line 29"

Did I do something wrong?

[Jafo232]

Sounds like your path is wrong, see instructions in the first post.

[jimheiden]

Sounds like your path is wrong, see instructions in the first post.
Yup, that did it. Thanks!

[nando99]

Good, then mark it installed. :D


LOL... You didn't answer his question? Only pointing it out because I'm wondering the same thing....

[jimheiden]

Yup, that did it. Thanks!

Actually, I am only able to get to the write page to make a test post now. To get that far, I had to hard code the absolute path in vbbridge.php as instructed. WP is installed in the webroot folder, VB in /forum of the webroot. When I attempt a test post, I get this error:


Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No error (errno 0) in D:\####\wp-content\plugins\vbbridge.php on line 86

Warning: require_once(./includes/class_dm.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\hshome\####\wp-content\plugins\vbbridge.php on line 92

Any idea what is causing this?

[pspcrazy]

I'm having the same issue Fuzzer had with the user being Administrator | Userrole which denies access to the admin cp of wordpress. I have completely different username in vbulletin and a different one is wordpress so I don't know why it causes this. I have to change the meta key to

a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}

from

a:1:{s:23:"administrator|user role";i:1;}

to access wordpress at all it's really odd. Any idea's?

[joshmv]

I know I should probably know how to do this after successfully installing this mod last night, but how do I make it so the title of the WP blog entry also links to the the VB thread?

Thanks everybody by the way, I've only had vbulletin since last night, and this mod was a big reason why I decided to make the switch from phpBB.

[solidlink]

1) I cant map the users over, even though I have followed the instructions. There are no options available for me to map the users over. Can someone help? TIA.

2) How do I edit the templates such that both vbulletin and wordpress share the same type of interface?

[Jafo232]

From your WP admin control panel, click Users, then click Vbridge User Settings. If that option is not there, then you do not have the plugin installed or activated.

[solidlink]

All of my user types appear as Do Not Map

[Jafo232]

Click on the do not map, it is a scrollable select box.

[solidlink]

Click on the do not map, it is a scrollable select box.thanks!

btw, can anyone help me with the compatible theme question? TIA

[joshmv]

ugh, I'm not sure what I did now.

Everytime I try to go to my WP admin section, it redirects me to the forum.

For example, I'll type in www.rapblogger.com/wp-admin, and it redirects me straight to www.rapblogger.com/forum

No matter what I do to try to get into the WP admin section, it just takes me straight back to the forum.

I swear it seemed to be working well, but maybe I just hadn't been in my WP admin section for a while, and I must have tweaked something that is causing this, I just can't think of anything specifically that I would have done.

Can anybody give me any clues?

[jimheiden]

Any idea what is causing this?

Ok, so I've realize that in vbbridge.php, there are a few references to the VB includes folder that look like this:
require_once('./includes/class_dm.php'); but should be like this
require_once($vwd . './includes/class_dm.php');
right? After changing those lines, I can now post in WP and an entry is properly made in VB, however I always get this error here

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No error (errno 0) in D:\####\wp-content\plugins\vbbridge.php on line 86

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at D:\####t\forum\includes\class_core.php:3075) in D:\####\wp-includes\pluggable.php on line 685I get it when I delete the post too. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

[Jafo232]

ugh, I'm not sure what I did now.

Everytime I try to go to my WP admin section, it redirects me to the forum.


It probably didn't happen before because you were still logged in with the original WP cookie. It sounds like you either did not map users properly, or your VB Username and WP Username are the same (which won't work as per the readme).

[Neuman]

When I post a double space between sentences in wordpress, it puts "?*" there. Is this a common problem? I may just have to stop writing double spaces, but that's not an easy habit to break. Anyway, aside from that, I'm really glad to have this plugin. :)

[Neuman]

Ok, I changed vBulletin to UTF-8. From what I know about it, it's backwards compatible with other encoding systems. Now it puts a ?* in place of a double space, but things like quotes and apostrophes at least render right.

[kommuni]

@Jafo232: I know you're not releasing a version for vB Betas but as vB is out of beta now and a release is likely ot be in a few days/weeks: can you say anything about how quick a 3.7 version will be ready or if there even WILL be any version available for 3.7?

I'd just like to have a clue if there's a chance to get wp and vb coupled for my next project. If not i have to deal with other solutions.

Thanks!

[snoopy5]

Hi

I have still a problem with getting this working. I am only interested in the shared userdatabase, not in the shared postings capabilities of this mod. Here is my situation:

A. URLs

I have vb 3.67 installed on subdomain 1: www.forum.mydomainname.com

I have WP 2.5 installed on subdomain 1: www.articles.mydomainname.com


B. Directories/server

Both are on the same server, but in different directories:

Forum is in: "...absolutepath/forum/

WP is in: "...absolutepath/wordpress/


C. Configuration

Since first tests did not work at all, I hardcoded the absolute path in the php file as advised. Thanks to this, I was able to map the usergroups and saved them.

But when I go now to my wp site, I get this error:

cannot load /myabsolutepath/wordpress/global.php. You should check your path!

No matter what I am doing. What did I do wrong?

It seems to me, that this mod is looking in the wrong directory for this globals.php file. With subdomains as I use them, what shall I enter in the absolute path field/ relative path field and how can I enter WP for doing this?

Thanks in advance

[durdon]

Jafo232,

Installed your mod, works perfect, great mod. Right now I can log into my vb and then goto my wordpress page. I can post in wordpress and have it show up in vb. All my members are able to access my wordpress page too. Everything Works as you described.

Now I have been able to make wordpress my start page, and then link to my vb forum from there, if I allow nonmembers to view my board, but this is a private board so I don't want to do that.

When I set my nonmembers to not be able to view then I get a blank page instead of my login page when I goto my wordpress page or when i set my wordpress page as my start page. Where as if a nonmember goes to a vb page they get redirected to the nonregistered page where they have to login or leave.

Is there any way to set it so whenever someone who is not a member will be be taken to my not registered page if they goto a wordpress page are not logged in to VB?

Hopefully there is a way,
durdon:confused:

[trigatch4]

Why not make the standard "member" in vbulletin not able to view any of the forums and then have a different "upgraded" membership that allows them to do what you'd like?

Basically just using 2 user groups and setting permissions. I'm not sure what criteria you're using to allow people to view your forum but just a thought.

[joshmv]

Can anybody tell me the code to use if I want the Title of the blog entry to automatically link to the forum thread similar to the comments link.

[irina.]

Hi, I want to try this mod, but I have a question, is it possible that when a user writes in wordpress, that post doesn't show in vbulletin? Or if it can be modified to a specific thread, not a subforum?

Thanks in advance.

[trigatch4]

THEME CHOOSING IDEA:

In vbulletin users can select a theme with which they view the forum. Could you relate specific forum themes to specific WP Themes so when they navigate between the two it is one coherent "branding" of the theme they chose?

[zmsan]

Anyone have any idea when this will be working with 3.7 or what has to be done to get it to work with 3.7? Also, anyone already got it working with this version?

I know the author says he does not support beta's. But, it's getting close to release now...

[rocas]

hello,

nice plugin.
i've read the readme but $vbuser doesn't work for me.
<?php
global $vbuser;
echo $vbuser->username; ?>
gives no result.
what i'm doing wrong?

[redraider]

We recently upgraded to the latest version and Its not working for us anymore... Once the the thread is created in vbulletin, the link to the WP post occurs as
zzzz.com/blog/2008/%postname%/

Instead of the actual post link on the WP. Could you help?

We are running vb3.6.9 and WP2.5

[redraider]

when we delete a post form wordpress, it doesnt delete the post from the forums either as is expected with the new upgrade.

He'll release it when he wants, he said only when it goes gold will he begin on it. Don't blame him either with every version change pre gold things change, fundementals change, so it's hard to keep up to date with that.

I have this same issue. Hopefully a fix soon.

[Clayton]

have you guys checked that the permalink didn't change within your WP environment?

[redraider]

have you guys checked that the permalink didn't change within your WP environment?

Hi Clayton, thanks for your response.
I havent changed the permalinks settings on my WP since it was first installed last year. However, I may be missing something, could you please let me know where I can check this?

Thanks

[Clayton]

under your WP admin

go to options > permalink

then read what it says there and check to see that your

.htaccess file is writable and contains the data it mentions

I hope this helps

[redraider]

ok I checked as you said ... .htaccess file is not writeable by world (security), it has 755 permissions. But it does have the text that the settings ->Permalink points to.

Would I need to make .htaccess writable to make the plugin work again?

[redraider]

You can see an example here:
http://scorechase.com/gmat/showthread.php?p=49430#post49430

As you can see %postname% is not converted into a qualified URL.

[superthang]

very nice work

await 3.7 release (gold)

[redraider]

On further investigation I see this, the permalink system on my blog is like this:
/%year%/%postname%/

it gets converted to 2008.... somehow the plugin is not converting the %postname% variable to the correct postname.

[redraider]

Any one?

[trigatch4]

If you have WP 2.5 they have a funky new "default" way of writing %postname% urls. They sometimes remove short words like "if", "and", "the", etc... go to your permalink settings and try to make it write out the COMPLETE title in the %postname% and that might fix it.

[joshmv]

I'm also waiting on 3.7, so I hope the plugin won't be far behind.

[redraider]

go to your permalink settings and try to make it write out the COMPLETE title in the %postname% and that might fix it.

How do I do that?

[maidos]

can u make this compatible with vb 3.7 since on vb.com they will release the gold version next week

[zmsan]

can u make this compatible with vb 3.7 since on vb.com they will release the gold version next week

That would be sooooooooo coool!

[trigatch4]

can u make this compatible with vb 3.7 since on vb.com they will release the gold version next week

Dude... he has said a million times once it is gold he will probably start working on it but he would NOT begin working on ANYthing that wasn't the production release. What are you going to do once 3.7 GOLD comes out? Tell him to hurry up?

The demand for his mod is pretty obvious - I'm sure he realizes how many people want it. And on top of that, he is offering it for free. Get real - be patient.

[redraider]

i agree we should be patient, this mod is a great one! ... one question though ... if i upgraded to 3.7 would that break this mod substantially? Anyone knows?

[trigatch4]

redraider: you could always do a FULL backup including your files and databases and THEN install 3.7. If anything breaks, take vbulletin down and revert to your backup.

I'm guessing that it WILL break stuff because 3.7 has so many more social features that relate directly to the users. And... this information is obviously being stored in the USER table which this mod correlates with the WP table.

Just my guess...

Actually, no data is being saved to the Vbulletin tables. Chances are, 3.7 won't break anything, but I have not really tested it and am still awaiting a gold release.

Hi Jafo,

Could you help us solve this problem. The problem started after we upgraded to WP2.5 and latest vbridge.:

[dustin999]

I've tried everything, and I'm missing something simple I'm sure. I've reinstalled vbulletin (3.6.9) and wordpress (2.5) countless times and still can't get to the admin panel in wordpress after I turn on the integration.

What am I missing? At first I had the same admin user in WP and VB, so I just tried a fresh install of both with separate admin usernames. That didn't work. I've tried creating a new admin user for wordpress before I turn on the integration, that doesn't work. I'm mapping administrative users in vb to administrative users in wp, but that doesn't work. I tried not mapping administrative users, that doesn't work. Essentially no matter what I do, I end up with the "do not have sufficient permissions to access this page" error when I try to login to the wp dashboard

What's the proper way to integrate wp and vb and still preserve login functionality for wp admin? Please someone help me, I'm desperate and have been beating myself up with this for hours!!!

FYI, I've searched the forum and found references to this issue with the WP/VB bridge, but nothing actually gives me a solution.

Please help!

Thanks,
Dustin

[dustin999]

So, I'm still totally confused, and wondering if my version of wordpress (just downloaded yesterday) isn't supported yet by this mod? I decided to trace through the mysql changes vbbridge is making to see what was going on, and found that my administrator users were getting the wrong meta_value in the wp_usermeta table (I'm using wp_ as my wordpress table prefix).

As a workaround, I hacked vbbridge.php in the plugins directory, editting line 492 of the most recent version of vbbridge. I commented out line 492, and replaced it with this:

$usermeta_value = preg_replace('/a:1:\{s:23:"administrator\|user role";i:1;\}/', 'a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}', serialize(array(strtolower(get_option('vbb_vbugrou p_' . $vbulletin->userinfo[usergroupid])) => 1)));
$sql = "UPDATE " . $GLOBALS['table_prefix'] . "usermeta set meta_value = '". $usermeta_value ."' where user_id = '". $results->ID ."' and meta_key = 'wp_capabilities'";

In short, the problem I had was that vbbridge wanted to assign this value to the wp_capabilities column in my wp_usermeta table:

a:1:{s:23:"administrator|user role";i:1;}

However, wordpress had been assigning the following value to wp_capabilities in the wp_usermeta table:

a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}

I'm not sure I understand that whole string. Originally I just tried changing "administrator|user role" to "administrator" but apparently I have to change the s:23 to s:13 too for it to work.

Right now things appear to be working for me (knock on wood), but I'd like to know if this is normal for me to have to make these changes, and if anyone else has experienced this.

I'm guessing if this is an adequate solution, I'll probably need to do the same thing with other user roles as well.

Thanks,
Dustin

[Tomahoochi]

I'm having the same issue as dustin999. None of the wp_capabilites are being transferred correctly for ANY tpye of user. I'm running WP 2.5.1 now, but it was doing the same thing in 2.5.

[dustin999]

Yeah, I'm confused. In the mod information/requirements, it says it requires wordpress 2.5 or greater to work. But from everything I've seen, it's not compatible with wp 2.5 at all, at least not without the edits I mentioned above. Strange...

[pspcrazy]

Thanks for the pm dustin, I did what you did as well but a little differently i did it when i last posted so i forgot what i did :) Basically it was the same thing as you did, without any commenting needed :)

[evershawn]

I added this to my wordpress vb install and now I cannot log into my wordpress anymore, I just get a message of: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

I tried deleting the plugin and it's still saying it. I think my whole website is borked now.... not a happy camper

[Clayton]

there is an explanation for this in this thread

can't recall exactly where or what

remove the plugin from your server

as mentioned, sorry if this is vague, it is explained in this thread

and I used it to correct my site

look at the instructions it warns you not to click something until you have done all the steps or else this may happen

you can reverse it

[evershawn]

ya, I did all the steps and everything worked according to plan until I tried to log into the admin again.

[CompuJonathan]

Rename the plugin file in your wp-content/plugins folder. That should let you back into the admin for wordpress. I just changed mine to vbbridge1.php.

[ikki83]

so guys.. does it work with 3.7? :)

[lim(x?-5x?) = ∞]

I think it's better to wait for 3.7 port :)

[tekknikal]

I think it's better to wait for 3.7 port :)

unless it works already...?

[ikki83]

i use this only for users integration, not for comments integration... if user integration works, i'm ok :)

[mikesz]

This MOD worked fine with 3.6.8 but I noticed when I upgraded to 3.6.10 everything seemed to work BEFORE I turned on the Turn Auto-Integrate switch. I was able to create a message and post it to a forum etc. But when I flipped the switch to go, I got You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page. WORSE than that, NOW nothing works, no user can get in now, well the can but as soon as you click on the site admin link you get the message for ALL logins after that. In effect the whole wordpress system is useless, you can do nothing with it and nothing seems to be able to clear it even deleting the vbbridge and rerunning upgrade, once its corrupted, it done.

Same exact conditions on the 3.7.0 system which I updated today but vbbridge is seriously broken.

Please advise, mikesz

[mikesz]

I think "integration" may be negatively impacted as well. Certainly they would get that same You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page. error message if you tried to access them in wordpress.

BTW, when I first noticed the problem wth 3.6.10, I was trying to integrate the WP page into a new template page that I created to make it look more like my forum and less like WP so I got side tracked on troubleshooting the problem but when I did the installations today, first on 3.6.10 and then on 3.7.0, I did straight installed according to the instuctions and got the permisions problem on both versions AFTER I flipped the automation switch. The error didn't show up before that...

HTH, mikesz

[Jafo232]

Ok, I have uploaded version 3.03 which should address the "You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page" error with new installs. The plugin also appears to be 3.7 compatible.

[redraider]

Jafo could you please help me with the problem where the "Read More" URL doesnt get posted properly?

Thanks

Hi Jafo,

Could you help us solve this problem. The problem started after we upgraded to WP2.5 and latest vbridge.:

You may want to try running this script in your wordpress document root and calling it directly:



<?php

// current directory
echo "My current working directory is " . getcwd() . "\n";

?>


It could point you in the right direction.

[tekknikal]

thanks for the update. will be trying this on my test site today. will first update vb, then wp.
edit -> updated my test site. i closed the forums, deactivated the plugin.. updated to vb37.. then turned on forums (forums worked)..then updated plugin. for some reason the content on the main page wasnt loading. i went directly to the wp cp though (manually went to url) and reactivated the plugin + configured it, and now everything seems to work...

Thanks for the quick response. I will give this a shot tomorrow and report back. I'll see if we can get a little info for those people using IIS.

[mikesz]

Hello Jafo,

I have just installed 3.03 on 3.7.0 with WP 2.51 and functionally, it works correctly now.

The display on the mapping page is also working correctly for the box / dropdown content but the dropdown on the selection of the forum is "mudged" like the mapping page was in the previous version that did not work.

It recognizes forum users as it should but the odd thing is that you have to refresh the WP page because the first screen does not have the member logged in but the refresh brings up the correct page with the correct member greeting at the top of the page. So, it "looks" like its not working on the first pass but the refresh brings up the correct screen.

The other oddity that I noticed was that I entered the URL in the vbbridge setting for my forum and it got pretty confused like, it loaded www.mysite.com/www.mysite.com in the browser so I got a fair number of 404 until I removed it in the vbbridge setting so the URL field there is now empty and it works happily.

Thanks for the quick turn around. I appreciate it.

edit :

I can not find any definition in WP for class="inputbox" though I am sure that it was there at some point it does not seem to exist now. I changed the "size" parameter to "tabindex" and it now act like a regular dropdown menu which is fine with me. I could not get it to display the five line box for some reason, though if I copied that code to an html file it did display as intended but not in WP?
BTW, near the end of that function, it has a <P> tag that doesn't appear to be related to anything and it doesn't close either as far as I can see.


regards, mikesz

[nicholas.alipaz]

Jafo, it looks like the directory I named earlier is correct minus the \forum.

F:\Domains\joomla

is what came up in my test. So is this the directory I should specify for $vwd? Or do I need the \forum part as well?

If so, won't this cause some issues with forward slashes versus back slashes? If so, what would I need to change?

As for the rest of the setup in Vbridge Settings:
For my Forum URL, should it be the root of my forum? i.e. - http://community.mysite.com/forum
Forum relative path would be: /forum

I am sorry for so many questions, it seems that things always seem to be so different on IIS and I just want to confirm these settings before I mess it up again. ;)

Thanks again for your time,

It looks like you uploaded that script into your Joomla directory.. Is that where wordpress is?

[nicholas.alipaz]

It looks like you uploaded that script into your Joomla directory.. Is that where wordpress is?

Actually, I have this for structure:

root (joomla)
-- /forum (vBulletin)
-- /blog (wordpress)

joomla is not modifying any files within vBulletin or Wordpress, they are currently all completely independent installations.

edit: just now understood the question. lol. yes I did and no wordpress is not in my root. Let me move it to the wordpress directory and report back.

[nicholas.alipaz]

upon uploading to my wordpress directory I get:

Hi,

I'm trying to install this add-on but just confused what to fill out for the following:

VB User ID
VB Username
VB Forum ID

Is there any default settings for these?
I just want my registered vBulletin forum members to be able to comments on Wordpress blogs.
If a user is not registered, they are unable to comment and will need to register.

Thanks.

VB Username
VB Forum ID

I use my vb admin account for the ID and Username, so its ID = 1, username administrator and the forum ID is the forum you want your messages to be posted to as a default. If you don't know the Forum ID, go to it and check in the address bar of your browser, it will tell you the number of the forum. Looks something like this:

forumdisplay.php?f=20

Don't forget to go to the users and map them to the WP features you want them to be able to use.

[tekknikal]

not sure if this is a bug but i noticed that if i turn my forums off, login is not redirected to the forums, it stays redirected to a wp url. but then vb wants to look for its image files at that URL/forums, which is wrong. not a big deal, just noticed the issue. everything else seems to work well so far. thanks again :)

[pspcrazy]

Everything works well except for the post to thread part on adding a new post, it lacks the scroll bar so it's very hard to navigate.

Questions - I have a very large site with over 500k users and about 10k stories that i am considering moving to WP and VB but i have some concerns.

I want to handle all the story comments inside of WP. Is this possible?

I want to be able to handle anonymous comments in WP using this plugin. Is this possible?

How is the login process handled; is it all done in VB? In other words I direct all my users to the forum to login or can i have a login in the header that does all this?

My major concern is that I can allow my users to comment inside of stories but have WP handle all the data. VB is only concerned with users...

Thanks

Hi, erm, nobody answered me.. =(

I want to try this mod, but I have a question, is it possible that when author/contributor writes in wordpress, that post doesn't show in the forums of vbulletin? I just want for my posts of wp to appear in the forums. Or if it can be modified to a specific thread, not a subforum?

Thanks in advance.

The MOD has a check box in the Write screen where you select which forum you want to port to OR NOT. You just tick the check box if you don't want to post it to a forum.

Hi,

Thanks for help, but I still don't get it. So far I've filled out the following but how will you know the Forum ID when you haven't even posted any material during setup?

VB User ID: 1 (the first user of the forum is me, the administrator)
VB Username: administrator (the name of the admin of the forum)
VB Forum ID: ?

Thanks.

Yeah, this is a css issue with the latest WP release. If I get some time, I will try to add the workaround in the code.

If you allow anonymous people to post to your forum, then yes, anonymous users can post to your WP articles. VB handles all logins. You need not have Vbulletin handle the comments if you don't want to. You can leave it the way it currently is.

These settings are for the DEFAULTS! Please, read the readme, it spells it out there. You can select any other forum when you are posting. The reason these settings are there is if you do not use the integration, WP needs to know what VB user to post the thread as.

So can I leave all three blank if I only want registered users to post?

[Jafo232]

No, you put the admins user id in there, or the person you want it to DEFAULT to if WP cannot identify the person writing the article. You put the default forum ID where articles will be place (unless the user selects a different forum on the Write Article page).

[barnepal]

See this is what I don't get. How do you know the Forum ID when setting up this Mod?
You don't want it to clash with topics already created in VBulletin so do you create a new topic for it?

FORUM ID, not thread id. Every forum on your board has an ID. Go to your forum manager and it shows you the ID #.

[Suri.CMS]

Please clarify...

If your WP login name is the same as your VB username, this user will NOT be ported! If this was the case, you could lose your WP admin rights if there was an error, or if you deactivated the plugin.
Sorry for my ignorance. But can you please explain this sentence clearly.

What porting of users ?

Does this mean that : whenever a new users registers, his data will be created (inserted) in vBulletin's users table and then same data will be replicated (inserted) in WordPress's users table as well ??

So you cannot insert that data in WordPress's users table if the username already exists ?

Is my understanding correct ?

If you delete a user, you must do so in both Wordpress and Vbulletin.
What about editing any of the user's details ? Do we need to do editing in both places ?

[Suri.CMS]

Hi,
Please clarify if my understanding is correct.

1) I can have my vB 3.7 forum in sub-folder www.testsite.com/forum and then install WordPress 2.5.1 in sub-folder www.testsite.com/blog and then integrate both using this plug-in.

Is there any problem with above folder structure ?

Or do I need to install WordPress only in the root folder ?

2) To use this plug-in, the theme of WordPress does NOT matter. Right ??
I mean, can I use any WordPress theme (Lets say: http://www.wpremix.com/home/ )

3) Any other modules of WordPress are NOT affected by this plug-in. Right ?

4) I can deactivate this plug-in anytime and still have all my vBulletin forum data unaffected. I mean, this plug-in does NOT alter any of vBuleltin's data. Right ??

5) Does it work along with vbSEO ?

6) Do you see any problem with this combination WordPress + This Plug-In + vBulletin + vbSEO for high-traffic sites ? (Lets say - 1000 users online)

7) If I use this plug-in, the vBulletin's members (users) data will be used everywhere (registration, login...etc), but NOT the WordPress's members (users) data. Right ?

[Suri.CMS]

Anyone using this plug-in for a very high traffic site, please let me know. It really helps me.

[ryans]

Nice mod! Can I just import all my vb users into wordpress? Is there a way?

[DoubleGlasses]

Just wanted to say thanks a bunch. The install worked beautifully. Your instructions were dead on. I will add just one note. Make sure that your admin account on your forum is also an admin in Wordpress or you could find yourself locked out :) I hopped on another pc, changes my user account to be an admin and everything went great. Thanks for this mod.

Answers to your questions:

#1 - No problem

#2 - The theme does not matter

#3 - Not that I know of, but I do not know every module

#4 - Does not alter any Vbulletin database data

#5 - Does not do anything with VBSEO.

#6 - See some of the sites listed above, not sure if they are high traffic, but I have installed it personally on high traffic sites without any issue

#7 - Wordpress Data is not relevant, it uses the VB information

As for porting users, not sure how to make it clear. If you have a user in Vbulletin with the name for example "Joe" and you ALREADY have a user in Wordpress with a username Joe, that user will NOT be bridged. Cannot explain it any better than that.

[Jafo232]

Nice mod! Can I just import all my vb users into wordpress? Is there a way?

No, there is not a way.

[David_R]

a
We have vbulletin in root folder www.mydomain.com and also need to install wordpress in same root folder. Is this possible ? www.mydomain.com
I am aware it will require us to change /index.php file from vbulletin to forum.php or something else. ?

b.
We want to bridge vbulletin + wordpress since this modification does supports wordpress mu for multiple blogs, can we install multiple standalone wordpress where all of them integrates with 1 SINGLE vbulletin forums members database ?

c.
We require only registered members of our vbulletin forum should be able to comment on wordpress blog posts, is this possible ?

d.
Completely stop new registrations via wordpress (ony using vbulletin to accept new registrations)


Thanks.

[Jafo232]

This is NOT compatible with wordpress mu, otherwise yes to the rest of your questions.

[pspcrazy]

Can we install multiple standalone wordpress where all of them integrates with 1 SINGLE vbulletin forums members database. Is that possible? Note that's NOT using wordpress MU.

[Jafo232]

I have never done that, but I don't see why it wouldn't work..

[pspcrazy]

What I meant is using 1 standalone at asite.com, and 1 stand alone at bsite.com , both use the same dedicated, and both are on the same database. Asite.com will have the forums, so when you add a new post at asite.com or bsite.com they both make threads at asite.com.

Is that possible or would we have to hack the mod to get it to work?

[Jafo232]

They have to be on the same domain name because of cookies.

[pspcrazy]

I'm sure there has to be a way to have cookies work even though there on 2 different domains :| Well I'm always overly optimistic lol, but thanks for answering :)

[David_R]

that is technically not impossible but will definetly break and create security issues...

[Clayton]

This question always seems to pop up, so I will add these instructions

If for some reason you can no longer login to Wordpress, or you get errors, just delete or rename the vbbridge.php file and that will deactivate the plugin.

hope this helps someone who searches for

Wordpress Blank Page

[Jafo232]

Fixed the issue with the scrolling text box on the post page, and also finally nailed (I think) the issue with funny characters (encoding).. The only thing you need to do to upgrade is upload the new vbbridge.php file. Have at it people.

[Clayton]

thanks for your work on this Jafo

appreciated

[kabyo]

Hi,
it works fine, but the message counter of the user does not increment.
Why? Thank you

[Jafo232]

Ok, made another update: 3.05 which now increases the users post count upon posting a WP article.

[imported_BatZ]

Hi,
Well, first of all really thx for the great plugin!

I installed the plugin for use with vb 3.6.8 and a strange error appears when try to login, and then I make the update to 3.7.0 and the error continue.
When I login in VB and try to access /wp-admin/ in WP folder, the user was imported to WP, but the usergroup contain a code like:
"Project-Id-Version: wpmu_ptbr.pot POT-Creation-Date: PO-Revision-Date: 2007-05-30 15:14-0300 Last-Translator: Charles Pilger Language-Team: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Poedit-Language: English X-Poedit-SourceCharset: utf-8 X-Poedit-KeywordsList: __;_e X-Poedit-Basepath: . X-Poedit-SearchPath-0: "

If I change manually the usergroup to one that exist (like Administrator) works great, but every user that I try to connect remains the same strange code!

I correctly map the usergroups in "Vbridge User Settings", and don't know how fix this error! Oh, I use the WP with portuguese language, because I use a Brazilian site! In other way, the "Encoding for pages and feeds" is setting ISO-8859-1 just like my VB!

Can you help me with this problem?!

Regards,

[Jafo232]

Sounds like you are using Wordpress MU, not Wordpress.

[Silencer Groans]

thanks

[Yama]

Stupidly, I didn't read in-depth about what happens to users with the same name if I use the vBbridge to connect WordPress to vBulletin. My WordPress stripped me of permissions, but after poking around in the database for a few hours I luckily thought up of duplicating every one of my user's features identical to my other admin. I figured out what stripped me of my permission - my wp_capabilities went from a:1:{s:13:"administrator";i:1;} to a:1:{s:0:"";i:1;}. After switching it back using some trickery I now have User Level 10 again, which is what the installation script of WordPress gives the first user upon installing WordPress for the very first time. I'm not sure if I'm going to use this feature, but if I do I'm definitely going to look further into just how cohesive the two databases work together or clash. For starters, what user id should I attribute to vBulletin in the WordPress admin panel if I can't assign it to myself? Do I make up a user ID or do I create a new user on vBulletin and use that ID? Very tricky stuff. Thanks for all the hard work you've put into building this cool feature though. Peace.

[kabyo]

Hi,

when i click:
/wp-login.php?action=register I'd like a redirect to /forum/register.php
/wp-login.php I'd like a redirect to /forum/usercp.php

while it is right:
/wp-login.php?action=logout is redirected to /forum/login.php?do=logout

Can you fix it? Thank you a lot :-)

[KevNJ]

How can you get the images to show up in a vbulletin thread? I have the permissions set to allow html ( or so I think I have them checked off in all the sections that need it turned on ). But the images still wont show in vbulletin, but they do in wordpress. Any help?

[skariko]

I found a little bug.
If someone register to the website and do not confirm his email.. he can write comment on Wordpress but on VBulletin he results in "user awaiting confirmation".. :)

How can i deny users that are in "user awaiting confirmation" make comment on Wordpress?

[Jafo232]

Don't map the user group "user awaiting confirmation".

[skariko]

Don't map the user group "user awaiting confirmation".

It's what i've setting.. i give you some screenshot.

As you can see "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation" are "Do not Map".. on VBulletin Admin you can see that "Skaprova7" (an user that i try to register) is on "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation" but on Wordpress it write me "Logged in as skaprova7" and i can give comment.

Thanks :)

[Jafo232]

Hi Jafo,
WP register the user like this o_O

[powerful_rogue]

Probably a silly question, but I just want to make sure!

Ive currently got vb installed and running and now want to add wordpress.

my vb installation is inside the top folder, ie:

/htdocs/*vbulletin files*

Where will be the best place to put wordpress, do I just mix the files with the vbulletin ones of create a subfolder within htdocs?

I hope that makes sense!

[Jafo232]

You can put it into a separate folder if you want, i.e. blog, but you cannot have it in the same directory, otherwise the index.php file will overwrite vbulletins index.php..

[Clayton]

you can create a new folder outside of the forums folder

so u can have domain.com/blog (or what folder name u choose)

remember the database must be placed within the vbulletin dbase

:up:

[powerful_rogue]

Thanks for your help :)

Just to confirm, I need to use exactly the same database that im using for VB for wordpress?
So if im using DB12345 for vbulletin, I need to use DB12345 for wordpress?

[Clayton]

correct .. wordpress creates its own tables that starts with wp

:up:




sorry jafo, if posting at same time as you, trying to be helpful

[Jafo232]

remember the database must be placed within the vbulletin dbase

That is not a requirement anymore..

One more question

I have a live wordpress installation and a vbulletin installation that is not really live yet

What shall I do to combine those two?

It wouldn't be a problem to switch off the wordpress for an hour. Is it the easiest to protect the wordpress with htaccess and install the addon or can i simply do it on a live installation

[Jafo232]

You should be able to do it on a live install with no problem.

[reteep]

Great Plugin! I just got 2 questions:

1) About the user mapping, I got several users who exist in WP and vB with the same account name. So best practise would be, to rename those Users in WP and THEN activate the plugin?

2) About the comment URLs:

<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>

I guess there's no possibility to show the vBSEO URL instead of the "old" showthread.php URL right?

Thanks a lot!

[Bradley_Wint]

The biggest question I have is:

Do I need to start afresh with no one registered other than the admin or can I have ppl registered on Wordpress and then do integration later on?

[pspcrazy]

Jafo after the upgrade I still don't have the scrolling box. any Ideas? thanks.

Also I was wondering can I set it up so it uses 2 databases? Like 1 wp db, and 1 forum db? If so how do i do it? Thanks

[reteep]

Also I was wondering can I set it up so it uses 2 databases? Like 1 wp db, and 1 forum db? If so how do i do it? Thanks

As far as I know it doesn't require vB and WP to be in one database anymore.. did you check all configs?

[pspcrazy]

Yea and I don't see where I put the VB database inside the query. That's why I'm confused.

[Jafo232]

Not sure why you are not getting the scrolling box. Make sure you are using version 3.05..

To use the Vbulletin database, set your queries with the Vbulletin object, example:

$vbulletin->query("SOME QUERY HERE");

To use the wordpress database, use the $wpdb object:


$wpdb =& $GLOBALS['wpdb'];

$result = $wpdb->get_results("SOME OTHER QUERY");

[kj_ugs]

Installed and seems to be working great. The only thing that didn't seem to work was the mapping of users. All my users that I had mapped to groups seemed to just default to 'subscriber' for some reason. No biggie 'cos I can manually change their user group in wordpress, just thought you'd like to know incase it's a new bug.

Thanks again! Oh, and Install has been firmly clicked!

[irina.]

I have a little problem, I mapped the users and everything, but they didn't changed to editor or author in wordpress so they could write, just for a group.. so I tried to change the roles manually but at first they are ok, but then, when they enter to the dashboard to write something, it changes to subscriber and can't write anything!!
It's the only problem.. Please, help!

[Carlos X]

I am running 3.7.1 on my server, and I have tried to install this hack.

I have tried several times changing info, and nothing happened, even when I thought it was a smart move to click auto integrate. It worked, and I have asked the bridge to map my users, one try, two tries later, it gives me these dropdown options on mapping usergroups.

But the users weren't showing up in the wordpress database. Then I try checking yes on two other options, and boom, this is what I get after clicking VBbridge settings, plugin link, and just about other places on the cpanel of Wordpress.

No such file or directory (errno 2) in [public_html root of blog] on line 454
cannot load [public_html root of forum posted twice]. You should check your path!

I'm sleepy, I'm going to delete the blog directory, and try to re-install wordpress and this integration.

[Jafo232]

Perhaps you should read the first post in the thread where it relates to paths.

[doobiefillin]

i have looked over this thread briefly however i was unable to locate the way i can list my recent threads in my wordpress sidebar. if someone could show me how that would be great. thanks

[Bradley_Wint]

Ok So I got it to work, and I am really glad but the only problem I have is with logging in and out.

Problem #1
When users log out from the forum, they still are logged in at the Wordpress site

Problem #2
When they log out from the WP section, they log out successfully but they are redirected to this url

www.whatever.com/wp-login.php?action=logout...so basically they are locked in a never ending loop.

Problem #3
How do I add a register link and have it shown for people who are not logged in?

Thanks

[digibluez]

but how about a plugin for vbulletin iteslf to bridge user registrations between vb and wp not wp-vbulletin ?

[MasterShake]

I am getting this :(

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /nfs/c01/h04/mnt/43707/domains/empiresupportersclub.com/html/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 318

[dionsis]

Digibluez im pretty sure existing vbulletin members would be tough to port to wordpress considering as far as i know WP uses MD5 encoding for passwords and Vbulletin uses Md5(Md5(password).salt) which makes it tough to import users from A to B (at least in my head anyway)

Ive tried this plugin, and after following the readme to the letter, configuring and posting a blog which did actually post on the vbulletin. The Users did not map when i clicked map.
They were not mapping when they visited wordpress either. i was ending up logged in as admin on wordpress and as dionsis on vbulletin and no accounts were being created
(obviously i'd prefer to have all accounts ported over to start)

Any idea's on what could be causing it, No PHP errors, Nothing hidden in the source that im just not seeing on screen. Error log seems clear of anything

[Bradley_Wint]

I think the only successful way this could work is if you start it on a fresh board. Trying to merge a current system might be a bit of a challenge.

[gigaenvy]

Hi,

I read through the majority of posts, but the answer to my question did not stand out clearly. I will ask here.

In order to prevent users from creating postings in WP that go into the wrong forum, can each category (page) in WP have a default forum ID, thus preventing threads from going into the wrong forum?

[dionsis]

Not that i can see in the setting of this mod you just set 1 forum id

[dionsis]

Actually is there any way to modify this bridge so that logins and forcing users and mapping users wasnt neccessary

And that all the plugin did was post new articles to a vbulletin forum.

This would let me post articles on wordpress, disable wordpress registrations and commenting and let people talk about the posts in the forum.

So no mapping of users or logins. Just posting to a specified forum?

[gigaenvy]

but how about a plugin for vbulletin iteslf to bridge user registrations between vb and wp not wp-vbulletin ?

Yes. That would be good. I would prefer postings in VB that map to WP categories rather than the way it is now where people are morons and cannot select the right forum to post. Too much administration as it stands now.

[Carlos X]

but how about a plugin for vbulletin iteslf to bridge user registrations between vb and wp not wp-vbulletin ?
I support this idea 100%.
Ive tried this plugin, and after following the readme to the letter, configuring and posting a blog which did actually post on the vbulletin. The Users did not map when i clicked map.
This is exactly one of those errors I had. I only had a few members in my vb database, and I can't tell ya how absurd this is.
Perhaps you should read the first post in the thread where it relates to paths.
I'm not alone, check all the recent posts.

[Jafo232]

This is exactly one of those errors I had. I only had a few members in my vb database, and I can't tell ya how absurd this is.


Users do not map when you click map, it is absurd to think they would. They map when they are logged into vbulletin and then go to the wordpress page. I guess it is absurd for people to understand that when I wrote this in the first thread:

For example, user "Joe" registers at your forum and logs in. Joe then clicks on your Wordpress page. Joe is instantly added to the Wordpress user base with the permissions you set for his usergroup.

[mk484]

Will this work for 3.7?

[Jafo232]

Will this work for 3.7?

Yes, It is release for 3.7 (same version):

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177625

[Bradley_Wint]

Ok I have a problem....since WP outputs its news in HTML format, how do I get vBulletin to interpret it properly instead of publishing the raw code?

[Oyadus]

Is there anyway this whole mod could just be stripped back to basics? I'd like to see it allow Wordpress to just query the VB users table for all member functions.

[TribunM]

very tight man. but i've got a question. I am right that the bridge "only" maps users logging in from the forum but not from wordpress? Because when users come to my Blog first then they are logged out when they go to the forum. In the other way it works fine. But The Main Site isn't the forum so mapping from Worpress to forum would be very nice.

Another question is there a documentation on it? The readme is a little bit short ;)

[wildcard27]

Hey Jafo I seem to have two problems.

1. When you're logged into the forums and then go to the wordpress page, you're automaticly logged out.

2. If you try to post a comment at the forums, it says "You do not have permission to perform this action. Please refresh the page and login before trying again." and it automaticly logs out.

I triple checked everything and can't seem to find the problem. Could you perhaps check out and fix it? I can pay you for your time.

Cheers

Do you fixed it yet? I tried the plugin today and get the same problem with the login/logout. I can successfully login in vb and be logged in with worpdress but logging out i'm only logged out at vb not at wordpress.

I think this is a cookie issue but i'm not sure.

Second i'm searching for a solution to implement the login form of vb in wordpress. The most scripts here doesn't work.

Maybe somone can help out?

[RobInjection]

I am having a similar problem, when trying to get a user to login from Wordpress to the board, it will go to login.php, it then says We will now redirect you. And, when I get to Wordpress, I'm not logged in. But, if I click the forum page , I will be logged in, and then going back to Wordpress page I am magically logged in. But if I just stay on the Wordpress page i will not be logged in.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi! I installed this hoping that my vB threads went directly to my WP but this is not what this hack does!!! I need to show in my WP every thread in my vB is there any way to do that?

Thanks in advance

[SoloX]

This is by far the best mod for VB i have come across. Simply brialliant.

One last thing I would like to to do is to show VB avatars next to WP comments. I am not using VB comments. How would I go about showing VB avatars in WP comments?

Thanks

[logical.angel]

what do you mean by

YOU MUST go to the options page before you do anything else. Click Options, then "Vbridge Options".


can't see any option for vbridge after i activated it

[Jafo232]

Settings -> Vbridge Settings

[tan_ce]

First off, thanks for writing this mod.

I've installed this on Wordpress 2.5.1 and vBulletin 3.7.2. I have gotten everything to work correctly. (User mapping + auto-integration) However about once a week, I find that auto-integration breaks and it becomes impossible to enter the wp dashboard. When I look in the wp_options table, I find that vbb_VBPLUGION is set to "0". If I change this to "1" then everything goes back to normal.

I was wondering what is causing this and what I can do to prevent this from happening again.

Thanks in advance for your help.

[tan_ce]

In case anyone's still curious, I've determined that vbb_VBPLUGION is changed from 1 to 0 whenever the mod can't find global.php and this almost always happens when a googlebot is crawling my wordpress site. For some reason, wordpress does not retrieve the correct relative path to the forum and the plugin turns auto integration off. Why this happens is still a mystery to me. For the moment I've modified the code so that it falls back on a hard coded path whenever global.php isn't found. If anyone can tell me why this happens I'll be very happy...

[shallow bay]

Good plugin.

My problem is that in order to stay logge din you have to check the "remember me" box. How do i fix this?

[imported_silkroad]

I noticed that the example sites have WP in the root directory and vB in the /forum directory.

Our forum is in the root directory and so is vBadvanced.

I am considering replacing vBadvanced with WP and using this bridge.

So, my question is, can I install both in the root directory, with the forum index as forum_index.php and WP as index.php?

Thanks!

[GoodOmens]

I'm having issues with strange characters showing up in the forum posts such as ?*

See the blog post:
http://www.lineagejunkies.com/?p=11

And the forum post:
http://lineagejunkies.com/forum/showthread.php?t=279

I am allowing HTML to appear in the forum in order to allow images to show. Any way this could be converted to bbcode?

[GoodOmens]

I've noticed a bug:

BB Codes quotes parsed in comments with the text "View Post" have the wrong link ... should be parsed with the addition of vbb_VBRPATH

See http://www.lineagejunkies.com/?p=11 for a example.

[blogcrash]

Any idea if you we will have also vb 3.7.2 compatible version???

Thanks in advance.

This is really what i'm looking for...

[Fraik]

I have a problem running wordTube with this plugin on, when I try and use wordTube in combination with this plugin, wordTube does not execute any changes. I cannot add categories, videos or make any other database related changes aside from the plugin options (hard to judge if all of them are getting trough, as I have no videos to test with) it appears to not be able to access the database for as long as I have vBridge enabled in my plugins.

If anyone could help me with this problem it'd be much appreciated!
Thanks,

[GoodOmens]

Seems to be working fine with wordpress 2.6

[Whooper]

I've got a little question regarding this nice plugin.

I've been using it for a while now and it works completely fine. Now I have integrated it into another vbulletin (3.6.10 PL3) and wordpress (2.5.1) system, using the same options like in the other systems.

Now I would like to have the comments in vbulletin. The thread in vbulletin is added without any problems, but the headline and the newstext are not displayed, they are actually not even in the vb database.

Any idea what's the problem / error? :)

I'm looking forward to your answer!

Cheers
Whooper

Anyone know how this could be caused? You dont have to give me the entire solution, just point me in the right direction :D

[Lincoln]

Here's an obscure problem as an FYI:

You can't use vBulletin scheduled tasks to run a cron on a Wordpress plugin while you have this bridge enabled. It causes a second call to forum/global.php and the whole thing chokes (scheduled task -> plugin -> wp-config -> wp-settings -> load all plugins which calls bridge -> global.php).

Took me a couple hours off-and-on to track down why that was failing. Looks like I'm going to go play with my crontab. :erm:

[epolitica]

Maybe a dumb question, what does the option "auto-integrate" ?

[gamextract]

1) Just installed, and one thing I've noticed is that when click on the log out link on the front page, It logs you out of the account on vbulletin, but when your return to the front page it still thinks your logged in. Is their a way to fix this?

2)Is their a way to edit the plug-in so that when you click on register on the frontpage it actually takes you to the registration process not to the forum index

[epolitica]

Hi, I'm getting the "all of a sudden cant access the dashboard" thing.

"You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page"

How could I fix this even manually, accessing the db?

Actually my forum username and wp username are different, but they weren't days ago (admin and admin)

Thanks very much, rellay appreciate any possibile help.

edit: disabling the vbbridge, now I can access. This happened after I turned "auto-integrate" on. I got this app where usernames were the same on both the forum and wp, which username do you suggest me to change even from phpmyadmin to anything else? in which table? thanks.

[Jafo232]

You can either change them in VB or WP, your choice..

[Bradley_Wint]

hey jafo, is it possible to merge a current vbulletin db to a new wordpress db?

[Jafo232]

Not sure what you mean by "Merge".. You can bridge any two installs be they new or old or a combination.

[Demon fox]

I have this installed but want to use wordpress comment system. Which is working great. However I want to link the users name in a comment to there profile. How do I do this?

[Bradley_Wint]

Ok that answers my question. Thanks. :D

[joopster]

So mapping the new users ONLY works with new registrations correct? Those who have been a member prior to my adding this plugin means they have to register at WP correct?

[Jafo232]

So mapping the new users ONLY works with new registrations correct? Those who have been a member prior to my adding this plugin means they have to register at WP correct?

No that is not correct. Users have to login to VB, THEN visit the wordpress page, that is when they are automatically bridged.

[joopster]

That is where I am running into trouble. I created a new user and then mapped users and the new user showed up in wordpress under users.
I asked the other users to try and login to wordpress and they cannot login even though they are logged into VB.

[Warlord]

After installing wordpress and then activating this plugin, I get

Cannot load Resource id #70.

When I click on the Reading option.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I'm using Wordpress 2.6.1 and vBulletin 3.6.8

[Jafo232]

You may want to disable hooks in the plugin itself (won't affect VB). See the source code.

[David_R]

Is there any custom Adbvanced Wordpress Developer we have a which needs advanced customizations worth 2000 US$ +

[silly rabbit]

Quick question the answer to which I cannot find reading. I have this set up ready to run the install script but have held off:

Do/can I create a separate MSQL database for WP or should it be the same database, different pre-fix, as my VB installation?

Dumb q I know, but I would think it'd be critical.

Rabbit

[Jafo232]

You can have either the same database or separate. :)

[FQR]

Does anyone have this working with 2.61?

I can't get into the wp control panel if the plugin is activated. Any ideas?

[Clayton]

you didn't follow the instructions properly, you probably clicked yes before you had done the user integration

look at the install file and redo it

it tells you what to do in such an instance

I installed it on Vbulletin 3.7.3 and when I try to post something it tells me:

I have wordpress and Vb on different sub domains, just wondering is there any plans to allow this or is there an alternative I can use? Both Vb and wordpress are in different databases and on different sub domains, but live on the same physical server.

Thanks for your help

[Jafo232]

It is not about us allowing or disallowing. Cookies cannot be shared in such a manner. So short answer: no.

[magnaromagna]

hello, nice hack.

Just installed, how to re-save all wordpress post to create all threads in vbulletin?
I mean: after installation I opened a wp post and saved it --> thread created in vbulletin and users could post comments. But I have more than 2.000 articles! Which query?

thanks!

[microdot]

OK fair enough, what if my users don't need to log into wordpress, would cookies still be needed?

I just need it to create a thread when I make a new wordpress article and have a link from wordpress to the comments thread.

Thanks for your help.

[Chicago_VLNU_4s]

very nice, works like a charm

[microdot]

This is a great plug-in, so much that I've moved my forum from a sub domain to a directory so I could use it, so far things are going ok but..

The Text Link Back doesn't work on the forum threads. Clicking on them does nothing.

The forum thread articles sometimes don't display the html from the posts, they show the actual code instead.

And.. I'm locked out of the wordpress admin.. it just redirects to the forum.

Hi Guys,

First of all, great mod! The only thing I am really missing, is that I want to include/integrate my Vbulletin forum inside my Wordpress Header/footer. I've arranged this with the WP-United mod for phpBB3, but I want to migrate it all to Vbulletin.... Is there a good way to do this with Vbulletin?

Thanks, Sander

[Bjorn2404]

Nice mod. It was a bit tricky to install but it's great - using the latest version of vbulletin and wordpress.

I was having a problem with the links in vbulletin being incorrect - showing %postname% instead of the story title. I thought I'd post how I fixed it if anyone else was having a similar issue (I couldn't find a solution by searching but saw that others had experienced this).

If you change all instances of:


$link = get_permalink($the_post->ID, true);


to


$link = get_permalink($the_post->ID, false);


in vbbridge.php it fixes it. Upload the file and re-save your post and it should work (it did for me).

[gdguide]

Hmmm... The posting is going to the forums, but it's showing the html in post at the forums. How do I have the forums display the wordpress post properly without having it show the html?

Here's an example of a simple image and break in Wordpress and what it shows in the forums

Hi,

I have installed now, thanks for the plugin.

one question: when the plugin posts my wordpress entries to vbulletin the HTML Code is shown as text. Link:

http://schnaeppchenfuchs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23

What do I have to do?

[archibald]

For all who are having issues with the raw HTML Code showing up in the forums: I solved the problem by using this modification:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=96926

I then turned on HTML for moderators

[archibald]

BUG !

I think I found a big one.

Problem
When you edit a post in Wordpress, the post in vBulletin is supposed to be edited automatically as well. However, if it contains links with german letters such as ? ? or ?, the post will be cut short. Everything after the first ? ? or ? will be deleted in the VBulletin posting.

Solution
I think I have found the solution. You have to comment out the lines
if (function_exists(utf8_decode)) { $message = utf8_decode($message); }

they appear 2x in the whole code of vbbridge.php.

It now seems to be working for me.

Hi,

It seems that the bridge plugin interferes with the Cforms II plugin. Settings made there, are being erased by the bridge plugin. I've tested some things with the author of Cforms, but we cannot find it.

You wouldn't mind actually showing the code changes or actually posting the files that you changed, as obviously that would help should we ever upgrade our WP version. Plus most likely the 2nd one that we are going to use isn't made, so it most likely will be the latest version we'd have to download in order to use WP in the future. Unless they allow us to dl older versions.

Thank you for answering my question though.

Seems to me that you need to visit the settings/vbbridge in wordpress and fix the paths there. If this is accurate you have them set to "DIR" when they should be relative to your root... ie /forums/

[MattFord]

Okay, I'll admit it. First time around I imported the users after turning on auto-integrate. However, I removed the plugin as instructed, re-installed, did everything the 'right' way, and I still get a redirect to my forums when I visit wp-admin.

The kicker is, if I login to my forums... still can't access wp-admin. If I log out of my forums, I can access wp-admin. Any help?

Just what it says, if your WP login name is BigJohnny then you won't be ported. This applies to every user.

[BigJohnny]

ya but what does it mean it wont be ported.

I thought the point of this mod is to allow someone to register on either wordpress or vb, and then they are registered for both by simply registering for one.

a user still has to have 2 different usernames??

Awesome mod, works like a charm, but I've run into a bit of an issue - I have had my blog going for nearly 2 years, and am just now adding this forum.

1. As I have seen thus far, this is not retro-active, creating a new forum thread for every old post (which is a GOOD thing).
2. When I replace the comment text in my wordpress template, I've noticed that comments completely disappear for posts that do not currently have a vBulletin thread, which makes sense.

Would it be possible to include some php that says, basically, 'if this post was published before MM/DD/YYYY, then continue using the existing Wordpress comments code. If this post was published AFTER MM/DD/YYYY, then use this new vBulletin comment code.'

I realize I would then still need to monitor Wordpress' comments for older posts, but I think that would be the cleanest integration.

Or did I miss something?

Update: I got it taken care of, here's the code I used:

<?php
$date1 = strtotime('2008-10-17');
$date2 = strtotime( $post->post_date );
if ($date1 < $date2) {
#### Vbridge Replacement code for comments
if ($vbridge[id] > 0) {
echo "<div class='comments'>";
if(is_single()) {
if (is_array($vbridge[replies])) {
echo "<br /><br /><h3 id='comments'>Comments</h3><ol class='commentlist'>";

foreach ($vbridge[replies] as $reply) {
echo "<li class=";
echo $oddcomment;
echo "id='comment-'";
echo comment_ID();
echo ">";
echo $vbridge[vb_parser]->do_parse($reply[pagetext], false, true);
echo "<small class='commentmetadata'>";
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;";
echo "<img src='";
echo bloginfo('stylesheet_directory');
echo "/images/comment_arr.gif' />";
echo "by <cite> <a href=;";
echo get_option('vbb_VBURL');
echo "/member.php?u='";
echo $reply[userid];
echo ">";
echo $reply[username];
echo "</a></cite></small><br /></li>";
if ('alt' == $oddcomment) $oddcomment = '';
else $oddcomment = 'alt';
}
}
echo "</ol>";
}
echo "<a href=";
echo get_option('vbb_VBURL');
echo "/showthread.php?t=";
echo $vbridge[id];
echo ">";
echo intval($vbridge[count]);
echo "comments</a> |";
echo "<a href=";
echo get_option('vbb_VBURL');
echo "/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&t=";
echo $vbridge[id];
echo ">";
echo "Add your comments</a></div>";
}
##End Vbridge Replacement
} else {
echo "<div id='comments-template'>";
comments_template();
echo "</div>";}
?>


The date at the top is the cutoff date, so that newer posts use the forum comments, whereas older posts use the legacy Wordpress comments function. My old comments code is found in the last 4 lines, after the "} else {"

This worked great! I think I counted 4 different occurences, but I'd recommend loading it up in an editor with a find/replace function, rather than just manually changing it.

[skubaman]

How is this bridge working now with current versions? Are there known issues?

I am trying to decide whether to go with word press, or use vbulletins Blog.

I just want to make sure that every time there is a new release of wordpress or vbulletin I don't have to do several updates to the files.

Please let me know

Thanks

Is there a way to really integrate both into the home page? For example having a part of the home with news, and the other with vbulletin or modules from vbadvanced?
I can't find an example like that.

Thanks

[nymyth]

I just integrated this with 3.7.2 and no major problems.

Only thing is I cant seem to get the comments to go back and forth, not sure if this mod does it...but i figured, if you post a blog article and it gets fed to the forum then the same should occur if you post a reply....

[skubaman]

nymith were you able to really integrate both into the home page?
thanks

[nymyth]

yep....

www.loungeboard.com/

and

www.loungeboard.com/forum/

the databases are fully integrated

[nymyth]

Actually its gotten buggy, I noticed all my users arent bridged over and some that are still dont show up as logged in the blog area

[rcadden]

I've noticed an issue with scheduled posts in Wordpress 2.6.2 - If I have a scheduled post, the forum thread isn't created correctly, and thus readers can't comment.

I've also noticed, annoyingly, that if I go edit a post later, I have to manually re-choose the appropriate forum/subforum, or else it gets republished to my 'Lounge' (which I set as the default).

Is there any way to get both of these issues fixed? I'm mostly concerned with the scheduled posts, as we use that heavily on my site.

[skubaman]

Nymyth, I don't see an integration on your home page. I am specifically looking for a way to have the latest news as well as latest forum posts on your home page.
Does it make sense?

Thanks

I'd like my question answered please.

[XManuX]

Everything works *almost* fine for me (WP 2.6 / vB 3.6.12) except this :


<?php echo $vbridge[vb_parser]->do_parse($reply[pagetext], false, true); ?>


When i display comments on single.php / page.php, the page abruptly ends at the point of displaying the #1 pagetext.

Nothing more is processed, the page just ends there, no sidebar, no footer.

But when i remove this line (see the quoted one above about parsing pagetext) then everything works fine : i get all my comments publishers, of course not their comments since it's not parsed anymore.

Any ideas why the parsing ends up in pain ?

Oh... I used to have an old code that i did myself and that was directly calling the vb function like this :

global $vbulletin, $vwd;
require_once($vwd . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
$bbcode =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

echo $bbcode->parse($comt->pagetext, 'nonforum', true);


but its not working anymore now...


EDIT : Solved. It was some vBulletin add-on called "Highslide Integration" that was causing this crash.

Method used to troubleshoot:
1- Somewhere before the piece of code that you suspect (for me it was the parsing thing detailed above) Add this :

ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

And you will have nice errors in plain text instead of nothing.

2- Edit the file designed in the error and go to the line number where error is
(for me it was global.php from vBulletin) and it had something like this :

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('cache_templates')) ? eval($hook) : false;


An error that has something to do with hooks ? -> Most likely one of your vBulletin add-on causing trouble !

3- Disable all your add-ons and check if you still have your parsing error on Wordpress
(for me it solved the pbr. Woot !)

4- Re-activate your add-ons, one by one, checking if the error is back on Wordpress
(for me, error again when reactivating "Highslide Integration module")

Solved.

Is there anybody else having troubles with the plugin turning off when new users login?
When new users login the "Turn Plugin On:"-option is being turned OFF.
