DOES NOT WORK FOR Vbulletin 4.x

This version probably no longer works for Wordpress 3.x. I have started developing this product over and have released the NEW version here:

http://www.lampwrights.com/showthread.php?t=41

This mod bridges your Vbulletin users over to Wordpress. You can also use Vbulletin as your comment engine instead of the spammy one built into Wordpress. You can display the comments inline in your post. You need not use the comment feature, if your only interested in sharing users.

You can map your Vbulletin Usergroups to Wordpress Usergroups and those users will then be recognized as registered Wordpress users.

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. In otherwords, if a user comes over belonging to the "Registered User" group, you can select that he is placed in the Wordpress "Subscriber" usergroup.

If you change a users group from vbulletin, it will automatically change in Wordpress.

Requirements:
DOES NOT and WILL NEVER support Wordpress MU.
Wordpress and Vbulletin scripts must reside on the same physical server.
Wordpress and Vbulletin must use the same domain name.
Stable Wordpress Version greater than or equal to 2.5.
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.
DOES work for Vbulletin 3.7.Limitations:
Please don't ask if it works for any BETA versions of Vbulletin. I do not know and will not convert this to the latest version of VB (whatever it is at the time you are reading this) until the version is released as non-beta.
If you delete a user, you must do so in both Wordpress and Vbulletin.
If you are using XMLRPC to post with applications such as Windows Live Writer, you must change the password of the author in the WORDPRESS admin cp, after the user is ported over from VB. If you are not integrating users, then you do not have to.
Chances are, this will not work when VB and Wordpress are located in different sub domains. I.E. forum.yoursite.com - blog.yoursite.com. Cookie issue.
I did the best I could in determining your forums file path with the script. There may be certain script setups that cannot find the file path properly, in which case you may get errors that the script cannot find or open /config.php. If this is the case, please HARDCODE your ABSOLUTE path to the forum in vbridge.php.

To do this find:

## If you are having path problems, uncomment this next variable and define the path
## NO TRAILING SLASH!
# $vwd = '/some/path/to/your/forum';And uncomment the last line, and change the path to your forums path:

## If you are having path problems, uncomment this next variable and define the path
## NO TRAILING SLASH!
$vwd = '/some/path/to/your/forum';Common Mistakes When Installing:

Using two different host names causes problems. If your forum URL contains www.yourdomain.com (http://www.yourdomain.com), then your wordpress blog URL MUST contain the www. part of www.yourdomain.com (http://www.yourdomain.com) also. This goes for any other host name. Browsers are finnecky when it comes to cookies (as they should be).
Editors generally EDIT, not write. In Wordpress, editors don't show up in the post author drop down. This has nothing to do with this plugin, that is Wordpress code.
Make sure you DO NOT create a subdirectory for this plugin in the wp-content/plugins directory. Just upload it directly there.
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.
If you do not map users before you turn auto-integrate on, the plugin has no idea whether your allowed into the dashboard.
If you all of a sudden can't login to the dashboard, see the above two common mistakes.
FOLLOW the directions and make a test post first. Being in a rush and not testing will most likely turn out bad for you.
When you create a test user in VB to test mapping users, the test user MUST have an email address. If a VB users email address is blank, they will not map.UPDATES:

01/03/2007 - Fixed the unlock_tables() issue on some setups.

01/03/2007 - Fixed a bug in the script that if you used a MySQL database prefix, integration would not work. Please see this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1149970#post1149970) for more information! Special thanks to axisoverdrive (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=142601) for giving me access to his server and letting me troubleshoot the issue!

01/05/2007 - Fixed issue where if a user saved (not published) and published later, the post would not be added to the forum.

01/05/2007 - When a post is edited, it will also be edited in the forum.

01/08/2007 - Modified slightly so when posts are edited, so are the titles (if edited).

02/07/2007 - Major modifications to new version (now 2.05). The list follows:
Reworked the code so it uses the $vbulletin object throughout the code especially during the bridging process.
Users are bridged whether they checked the "Remember Me" box or not.
Removed a couple of SQL calls that became redundant.
Addressed a bug where if a user logged out of the dashboard, it only logged them out of VB.
Added Inline Comments capability. Comments posted to the forum (using VB for comments) will now appear at the bottom of a WP Post when viewing the post.
Author user names can now be linked to their VB profile page if desired.
Added option to turn off posting to forum. All this really does is remove the "Select Forum To Post To" option when writing a post. (There you go AxisOverdrive :) )
The $vbulletin object should now be available in all templates and most plugins.
Fixed a bug where deactivating any plugin would semi deactivate this plugin.
With the reduction in SQL calls, and the removal of now unnecessary variables, speed and memory use should be improved.
PLEASE READ THE UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS IF UPGRADING!07/17/2007
Fixed problem where upload iframe was a bit mangled.
Fixed problem where users had to refresh the dashboard once after logging in.
Fixed problem that arose from Wordpress 2.2.1 upgrade that would not allow activation.
Fixed logout issue where users would still be logged into Wordpress.
When a Wordpress post is deleted, so is the thread it created.
Added option to allow thread posted from Wordpress article to be truncated, with a linkback to the article.
Fixed issue when user re-activates plugin, and vb_threadid column already exists. Now checks for column first.
Removed a stray VB_Init() call.
Forums that do not allow threads will not be selectable in the drop down menu when writing a post.
Forums are listed out in a parent/child nested pattern.
(Note: 367 downloads of version 2.05)11/29/07 - 3.00
Added TABLE_PREFIX throughout the script instead of the get_option('vbb_VBPRX') call. get_option('vbb_VBPRX') is now deprecated.
Addressed path issues by establishing $vwd first. If for some reason there are path issues on an install, the path only needs to be manually changed once, at the beginning of the script.
Removed call to admin_db.php which seems to no longer be necessary.
Changed all queries to the VB database to be handled by the $vbulletin object. This should facilitate multiple database configurations.
Added limited XMLRPC support.
Had to include a basic copy of the functions_wysiwyg.php file (functions_wysiwyg2.php) with a minor change in the sanitize_url function (now sanitize_vburl) as it conflicts with a new WP function of the same name. Otherwise, this is identical to the VB release. This was necessary to keep formatting somewhat uniform between the two.
Removed unnecessary globals.
Changed the global.php call so it always loads. $vbulletin should be available throughout the code (via global in functions).
Edited some code around wysiwyg functions of VB, and conversions to vbcode.
Added "Turn Plugin On" option.
Fixed an issue with the forum list on the "Write Post" page. Default forum was not being auto selected in some cases.
Modified from BETA so that the new functions_wysiwyg2.php file is loaded using the WP ABSPATH constant. Requires the plugin to stay in the plugins directory.
Fix an error message when a post was deleted in VB, then edited in WP.12/10/07 - 3.01
Fixed two <? tags that should have been <?php (pointed out by Amenadiel (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=163487))03/31/08 - 3.02
Fixed media-upload clash for new version of Wordpress (2.5).
Added fix that will now delete threads in VB when the post is deleted in WP and not using Ajax delete.
Added code to insert a default email address if VB users email address is blank upon bridging.04/20/08
Fixed a bug in user roles for the new version 2.5.1 of Wordpress.05/08/2008
Fixed issue where CSS was munging scrolling text box when selecting a forum during a post
Fixed an issue where content encoding was getting screwey between WP and VP creating a lot of unintended characters (only on PHP installs where utf8_decode() exists (most)).05/08/2008
Fixed issue where post count of a user did not changeSites Using This Plug-In:

I have an existing wordpress install and I'd like to add vbulletin as the comment system using this bridge. Is there an installation script I can use to automatically add all my wordpress posts as vbulletin posts? And also to add all the users registered i wordpress to vbulletin?

Thanks, and nice bridge!

Mark

Hmm, no. This is for new wordpress posts meaning it will not affect your old posts. Users already registered with Wordpress will have to register with vbulletin (or login if they are already registered).

Great hack

I have a small problem. Im in the middle if the installation where I have to do the test post.

The problem is that wp when I press publish downloads post.php instead of posting the test post. When I deactivate the plugin everything is working again,

+bug: When I deactivate and then activate again the plugin a database error for duplicated columns appears.

This is a fantastic plugin! Thanks for all the great work, Jafo232. I've been waiting for a plugin like this for months, and i even tried to get one developed myself (never got done).

I installed your plugin, and i can create posts/ make comments perfectly fine. one thing i'm having trouble with is that if I login via vBulletin, Wordpress does not currently show that i'm logged in with that vbulletin account. Wordpress still gives me the "click here to login" link, which forwards me back to the forum. Sounds like a cookie issue, but i'm not certain. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

PS. Also, i've noticed that the newly created user in vbulletin does not show up in the user list for wordpress, and vice versa. Using vb 3.6.2 and wordpress 2.0.5

Pretty nice hack :)

Only problem for me right now : i have cleaned up my cookies and now i cannot access the admin panel of wordpress, the login button redirect me to vbulletin (i've already signed up on vbulletin !) and accessing admin panel directly with /wp-admin redirects me also on the boards -_-.

Any idea ?

First of all "Merry XMAS" to all of you!

If you need this bridge for sharing the user-database of vb with wp, this hack is not useable. I don´t know if it´s a cookie-problem or something else!

We need the sharing of the user-database of vb with wp as priority in a short time.

So is anyone able to solve this?

We´ll pay up to 50 Euro if it works without any problems for 3.5.6 and wp 2.05.

Thanks!

This is not true, it does work. You must make sure you turn on the setting ""Turn Auto-Integrate" on. The WP and VB scripts MUST reside on the same domain name so they can share cookies.

If you made any edit to the standard cookie setup on Vbulletin, then perhaps you may experience issues, but otherwise you should be all set.

Jafo232

12-26-2006, 12:51 PM

When you say that the WP and VB scripts must reside on the same domain name, what exactly does this mean? That both of these must be the same? So www.domain.com/forums and www.domain.com/blog

Thanks.

Yes, those are the same domains.

I am using VB 3.5.4
WordPress 2.05
VB & WP are on 2 different domains, on the same server but different databases. I have hard codded the RELATIVE file directory to VB.
I'm getting errors, and just a note, I don't care if my users share logins from WP to VB. I just want my posts in WP to post to VB.
With that out of the way, here are the errors I get.
There errors show after when clicking on the WP Vbridge user settings.
1) WordPress database error: [Table 'wagnert_wrdp1.srtcalib_usergroup' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM srtcalib_usergroup

2) Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/myblogdomain/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 199

And this error when posting:
1) Fatal error: Cannot redeclare is_valid_email() (previously declared in /home/myblogdomian/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/email/email.php:301) in /home/myforumdomain/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php on line 640

Is there a way remove the necessary portions of code to prevent these errors? and still have the WP posts, post in VB?

Thanks for the hack, been wanting this one for a long time.

As it states in the lead post in this thread, they BOTH MUST reside in the same database.

You need not be on the same domain IF, and only IF, you just want to use it as a comment bridge.

Do not turn auto-integrate on until comments work!

Jafo232

12-26-2006, 10:24 PM

no, no, no. I tested it and wrote a post, which automatically wrote that same post in my forums.

However, I want to now display how many comments there are for that thread and display the link to the thread. But I keep getting an error whenever I insert the code in the readme file in.

What error do you get?

Hey Jafo,

Yep. both wordpress and vb are under the same domain, and share the same database. Posting comments from WP to VB works fine. The only problem is the user databases aren't shared, and the WP login link forwards to VB, despite VB not having the same user accounts as WP. Therefore, if "auto integrate" is turned on, there's no way to get into the WP Admin page anymore.

Any ideas on what may be causing hte conflict? Anything i should check?

Thanks!

The users must login via Vbulletin. When those users then go to the wordpress page, they should be logged in under the same username as they have in VB.

Jafo232

12-28-2006, 11:09 PM

thanks! that works perfectly.

I have two more questions, though, sorry.

1.) Is there any way to "grab" the comments from the thread in vBulletin and post them in the comments.php ?
2.) Is there a "most commented post" plugin I could display in the sidebar if I use vBridge?

Thanks.

#1 - No. You either use the comment code (That you replaced in your template file) or not. If you choose not to use it, then comments will be like they always were.

#2 - I have no idea.

Hi,

I just installed this and am having the same problem as everyone else. The posting to forums works wonderful. However, I am not able to access the wp-admin panel. It just sends me back to vbulletin.

Even when I manually type in the address to /wp-admin or /wp-login.php, I'm redirected back to vbulletin. This also happens even after I've cleared all the cookies so it doesn't seem to be a cookie issue. I think something is not redirecting correctly.

Both WP and VB are installed on the same domain and database. If anyone knows what I may be doing wrong please let me know. Thanks :)

When you say you cleared cookies, did you THEN login to Vbulletin before you went back to your wp-admin pages? Did you login with the "Remember Me" ticked?

Daria

12-31-2006, 02:25 AM

Hi Jafo,

Yes I did log into vbulletin afterwards, however, I do not believe I had the remember me checked. I'll try that and see if it works.

Edit: Okay, tried that and it still does not allow me access to the wp admin panel.

Hi Jafo,

I replied to your pm but yes I did do the mapping. There were a couple I did not map because there was no reason to such as the unregistered and banned users.

I am using VB 3.6.4 and WP 2.5.0, both using the same database

Posts made in WP post to the proper forum, etc., however when I try to logout of WP it takes me to vb and gives me an error:
An error occurred while attempting to log you out. Click here to log out.

If I log out of VB and then go to WP it still shows me as logged in.

Also- WP visitors comments don't seem to be posted to vb - is this normal?

Also- after installing this, whenever I activate a new plugin, I get this error:

WordPress database error: [Duplicate column name 'vb_threadid']
ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD vb_threadid INT(10)

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/mysite/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php on line 1732

another thing I just noticed. When logging in as admin from another computer it will not allow me to go to the "site admin" link in vb - it takes me to the forum index if I click the "site admin" link. I uninstalled it at this point it seems to be pretty buggy, but I am looking forward to more development for this WP plugin.

Jafo232

01-03-2007, 11:01 AM

Ok I am unable to recreate the issues the few of you are having and I have this installed on three different servers. If you have such issues, the only real way I would be able to do anything about it is to have access to your server via FTP so I can see it first hand.

Jafo232

01-03-2007, 01:09 PM

On my servers, the unlock_tables() error did not show up on the pages themselves, however, I was able to find it in the server logs. This allowed me to isolate the error.

You can either download the latest version and replace it, or just add this line right after the <?php tag in the vbridge.php file:

define('NOSHUTDOWNFUNC', true);

I am curious if this might have affected some installations if this error message was sent before any cookie info was shot to the browser.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have changed. Just wondering -- i've also got phpBB and Menalto Gallery installed on the same server. Could they be interfering with this bridge at all?

01-03-2007, 02:28 PM

Had a few problems: if you save /edit a post before you publish it would not show up in the forum. And anything I edited would not be edited in the forum, but i guess thats pretty logical. All my posts where posted as guest btw, assumed it would be under my own name when logged in. Never assume i guess :P

Other then this, it worked well.

But moved to vBDrupal, the template integration is brilliant.

I think I found the issue. I could have sworn I did this originally but the code simply wasn't there.

I forgot to add TABLE_PREFIX to a SQL call to the VB database, so basically it could not find any users IF you used a database prefix on your VB install.

This is why it did not affect everyone.

You can either download and replace with the latest plugin (no need to deactivate), or you can edit the code by finding this line in vbbridge.php:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE userid=" . intval($vbulletin->GPC[COOKIE_PREFIX . userid]) . " AND MD5(CONCAT(password, '". COOKIE_SALT ."')) = '" . addslashes($vbulletin->GPC[COOKIE_PREFIX . password]) . "'";

And changing it to:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE userid=" . intval($vbulletin->GPC[COOKIE_PREFIX . userid]) . " AND MD5(CONCAT(password, '". COOKIE_SALT ."')) = '" . addslashes($vbulletin->GPC[COOKIE_PREFIX . password]) . "'";

This should take care of it.

Please NOTE! 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.

Added a couple things today. Fixed the problem where if you saved, and published later, the script would not post to the forum.

When you edit a WP post, it will automatically be edited in the forum.

So would this plugin not work if your forum and wordpress were on different subdomains?

Say your WP is on http://domain.com and your vB was on http://forums.domain.com.

Thanks for the donation, I appreciate it!

I modified it today so that titles should also change the title when you edit a post. I tested it quite a bit and it appears to be working just fine. Let me know if you have any issues.

To upgrade, just replace the old version with the new version. DO NOT deactivate!

I've set the users map up as follows

VB Admins - WP Admins
VB Moderators - WP Editor
VB Registered Users - WP Authors

Unfortunately, the admins get added in the default group, which is a subscriber.

Some initial code review leads me to this line in /wp-includes/registration_functions.php

if ( !$update ) {
$user = new WP_User($user_id);
$user->set_role(get_settings('default_role'));
}

I can then see some attempts to change the capabilities in the vbbridge.php file

But I still end up with everyone being setup as a subscriber - ( a:1:{s:10:"subscriber";b:1;} )

Any clues on what I might be doing wrong or overlooking?

Great mod, drop me a note if you want to do a Wordpress MU version of this, would be happy to help with the $s.

Sorted the problem out.

Related to a bug in Wordpress that hasn't been addressed in a long time.

The capabilities column in the prefix_wp_option table inherits the prefix .. so it is not wp_capabilities, but it is prefix_capabilities.

In my case, I had to change the sql statements which manipulated the wp_capabilities row to

$sql = "UPDATE " . $GLOBALS['table_prefix'] . "usermeta set meta_value = '". serialize(array(strtolower(get_option('vbb_vbugrou p_' . $vbuser->usergroupid)) => 1)) ."' where user_id = '". $results->ID ."' and meta_key = 'main_wp_capabilities'";
$results2 = $wpdb->get_row($sql);

WP 2.0.6 (http://www.ojodigital.com/revista/)

Users OK
Post OK
BUT Comments doesn't work :( Wordpress and vBulletin comments are independent

What i have to do?
same for me!

Im running vB 3.6.4 and WP 2.0.6

Iv also mapped the users but some reason WP does not list the users from the Forum in the users list & also if a user is logged into vbulletin and then access the blogs to post a comment, it says you need to log in? Why's that?

And if some one posts a reply in the forum for the blog, shuddnt that comment show up on the blogs page aswell? That would be nice as i made a reply on the forum, went to the blog and said 0 comments. :(

Will this hack allow each user to have their own blog page? That is, instead of all blog entries by all users being displayed on a "main page", I'm looking for a way for each user to have their own blog and blog page, and be integrated with vb's user db.

No, this will not do that. You could set it up so each user could write articles on the blog, but it will not setup a new blog for each user.

Jafo232

01-18-2007, 05:57 PM

Jafo,

you've done an outstanding job. The plugin is working marvelously.

A feature that would be nice: right now, at the bottom of each post, there is a vbridge menu prompting to post in a particular forum or "Do not post in a forum". Could this be moved to the Options panel, so that we can toggle forum comments on or off universally, so we don't need to worry about it on a post-by-post basis?

I guess some users may want the flexibility of choosing the forum they want the post to show up in. So maybe just a comments toggle on/off switch in the options panel, and then if it's "on", it'll give you the forum selection choice when writing a post? is this an easy thing to implement?

Thanks, Jafo!

Thanks for your kind words!

I am a bit busy at the moment, but I will be getting back to this plugin soon, I will see if I can add it.

I think you will be able to do this by finding this code:

Do NOT post to a forum: <input type=checkbox name='nopost' value='1' onChange="if (fon == 0) { DeselectAllList(thedoc); fon = 1; } else { selectAllList(thedoc); fon = 0; }">

And changing it to:

Do NOT post to a forum: <input type=checkbox name='nopost' value='1' onChange="if (fon == 0) { DeselectAllList(thedoc); fon = 1; } else { selectAllList(thedoc); fon = 0; }" selected>

I think you will also have to find this code:

var fon = 0;

And change it to:

var fon = 1;

That is just a quick guess reviewing my code.

This sounds like an issue with your server. Your PHP install seems to be running out of memory.

Not much I can do for you there.

I'm confused here. How is anyone getting this working in it's current form? I'm running WP 2.0 and it wasn't working. I looked through the code and found these lines:

$install = (basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) == 'plugins.php' && isset($_GET['activate']));
$uninstall = (basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) == 'plugins.php' && isset($_GET['deactivate']));

I actually don't know how that's even working for anyone, because the links to activate the plugin are in the format ?action=activate. So, there's no activate GET variable as far as I can tell. I change those lines to this and it's working fine for me:

$install = (basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) == 'plugins.php' && $_GET['action'] == 'activate');
$uninstall = (basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) == 'plugins.php' && $_GET['action'] == 'deactivate');

Maybe it requires register_globals on? In which case, that's a no-no, as it encourages insecure programming practices. Just want to make sure everything's secure for everyone :)

If it had anything to do with register_globals then there would be no need in using the $_GET array, you could just use $action, or $deactivate.

If you open the plugins.php file you will note:

wp_redirect('plugins.php?activate=true');
} else if ('deactivate' == $_GET['action']) {
check_admin_referer('deactivate-plugin_' . $_GET['plugin']);
$current = get_settings('active_plugins');
array_splice($current, array_search( $_GET['plugin'], $current), 1 ); // Array-fu!
update_option('active_plugins', $current);
do_action('deactivate_' . trim( $_GET['plugin'] ));
wp_redirect('plugins.php?deactivate=true');

You will note the wp_redirect call where it sets activate and deactivate. The reason why you do not compare the action, is because it has not been thoroughly checked to make sure it is an admin calling the action amongst other things. It is a security checkpoint.

Nobody has reported any problems activating the plug-in. You should note however, that there are issues with the plugin page in wordpress because it uses AJAX and the developers did not take into account all the possible cache settings browsers/ISP's may be using. You can google: wordpress plugin page AJAX, to see more about this.

What is the technical reason for Wordpress and vBulletin needing to share the same [MySQL] database, and is there any possibility of separating the two to use separate databases?

I have been considering this myself. The reason why I stated this caveat is that PHP 4.x by default would only allow an instance of a script to make one database connection. See the following Google search to see what I mean:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=88F&q=php+%22one+database+connection%22&btnG=Search

However, from what I understand, PHP 5.x has addressed this issue. I may be able to rewrite the code to take that into consideration, but honestly, it is so easy for them to share the same database, that using two connections would just be a waste of resources. If you are vaguely familiar with phpMyAdmin or other such MySQL applications (navicat, etc) you can easily merge databases.

There are many pages on the net that show how to merge databases, and here is one:

You can google: wordpress plugin page AJAX, to see more about this.

Actually, this guy had the same issue: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1143189&postcount=9 We're running PHP 5, so I assume that's what's doing it. I'm afraid I don't see how that's a security checkpoint. Someone can just do ?activate=true in their URL just as easily as ?action=activate.

I was also having session issues because we have a login box in the upper corner on our theme. This submits to the vB login.php file so it can set up the appropriate session cookies there before shooting back to WP. I created a small vB plugin to redirect back to the WP install if that's where you were logging in from. So, there were some cookie domain and path issues because we have the scripts in /board/ and /WP/. The cookies are *supposed* to be setting with .domain.com and / for the domain and path respectively. But they weren't due to the $vbulletin global not being available inside of the vbsetcookie() function. This is because you were calling require_once('./includes/init.php'); inside of vb_Init(). Since it's inside of that function, things get messed up further down the call stack. I commented that out (along with the CWD stuff) and just put a require_once('./global.php'); to be done with it. Nothing vB does interferes with WP, so it's safe to do so. That fixed it getting the correct domain settings and such.

However, I noticed you weren't using the built-in vB session handler. I'm not sure why you'd want to do this, since the code is much more robust and production-tested. So, I took out the define at the top, and converted all the $vbuser stuff to $vbulletin->userinfo, and it runs perfectly now.

The last issue was also with the login box. When you're logged in, it says your name and shows a log out button. However, you had to refresh the page at least once for this to show up, as the bridge code is setting a cookie, but not setting the current user for the current execution of the script. So, I just added a set_current_user($results->ID,$vbulletin->userinfo['username']); to vb_Init() after the setup_userdata() calls, and that fixed everything.

I'd also recommend you do some proper formatting on this code. It's a harder to work with when there isn't standard formatting throughout. The tab key is your friend :up:

I need to clarify my reasons for wanting|needing a separation of d/bs between WP & vB: it basically boils down to 2 factors - security & server load balancing.

The hosting company we're using for our vB 3.6.4 forum is quite restrictive and a recent request to upgrade from PHP4 to PHP5.2.0 resulted in PHP 5.0.4 being installed & running under CGI in Apache [was not CGI under PHP4], also register_globals is enabled under PHP 5.0.4 [CGI], I have a feeling things are going to go pear-shaped very soon :(. From a security POV I would prefer to have 2 separate MySQL d/bs for WP & vB respectively, although it probably won't make a huge difference, it might limit some damage.

ITO load-balancing, the option of being able to run a separate MySQL server [b] for WP and other stuff, and keep the PHP for WP & vB running on the same server [a] that vB has its d/b on.

The users must login via Vbulletin. When those users then go to the wordpress page, they should be logged in under the same username as they have in VB.

Howdy,

I've got a question on this, I'm thinking of using Wordpress as my CMS for the site, as I'm fed up of my site looking like every other forum based site. So does this preclude me from using wordpress as the front end as users will have to have logged into VBulletin firstly ?

Huh? That post you are referring to has nothing to do with any issue you had. If anything, it is symptomatic of the AJAX issue. If someone just called ?deactivate=true it will not deactivate anything. The redirect is issued after the plugin is is deactivated. This has however brought to my attention a fact that a drop command could be called on the vb_threadid column on any deactivate. I will address this issue later today.

I was also having session issues because we have a login box in the upper corner on our theme. This submits to the vB login.php file so it can set up the appropriate session cookies there before shooting back to WP. I created a small vB plugin to redirect back to the WP install if that's where you were logging in from.

Actually, this is not the case in most installs. Most installations have wp files and vb files in different directories, so calling ./globals will get you a "no such file or directory" error (if you comment out the CWD stuff).

Also, if you require ./globals from inside a function, you are going to get init errors from VB under certain circumstances. This is why init was called instead inside the vb_Init function. I am assuming that since you have clicked uninstall on the plugin, you may have figured this out already.

The last issue was also with the login box. When you're logged in, it says your name and shows a log out button. However, you had to refresh the page at least once for this to show up, as the bridge code is setting a cookie, but not setting the current user for the current execution of the script. So, I just added a set_current_user($results->ID,$vbulletin->userinfo['username']); to vb_Init() after the setup_userdata() calls, and that fixed everything.

This may be an issue when the user is initially bridged (first time to wp from vb after the plugin is installed), but afterwords, it should be all set.

I'd also recommend you do some proper formatting on this code. It's a harder to work with when there isn't standard formatting throughout. The tab key is your friend :up:

I never agreed with what some call "proper formatting". I have been coding in this style since I started scripting. Spacing everything out with tabs has only confused me when writing/reading code. There are some times when I might use it when I want a particular block to stand out while I scan over code. This is just a personal preference of my own, like reading from left to right. :)

ITO load-balancing, the option of being able to run a separate MySQL server [b] for WP and other stuff, and keep the PHP for WP & vB running on the same server [a] that vB has its d/b on.

Not sure I agree with everything you stated here, but regardless, it is possible to use two databases I suppose, but you would have to edit the code a bit. Basically, you will have to use the vbulletin database object for any and all calls to the vb data. Probably not that difficult to do, I just personally have no need to create such code.

Howdy,

I've got a question on this, I'm thinking of using Wordpress as my CMS for the site, as I'm fed up of my site looking like every other forum based site. So does this preclude me from using wordpress as the front end as users will have to have logged into VBulletin firstly ?

Well, not really. The only time a user would have to "login to VB" is to comment, not to view.

Huh? That post you are referring to has nothing to do with any issue you had. If anything, it is symptomatic of the AJAX issue. If someone just called ?deactivate=true it will not deactivate anything. The redirect is issued after the plugin is is deactivated. This has however brought to my attention a fact that a drop command could be called on the vb_threadid column on any deactivate. I will address this issue later today.

I was referring to the latter part of that post about activating and and deactivating the plugin. I got the exact same duplicate column bug as that person was getting.

This may be an issue when the user is initially bridged (first time to wp from vb after the plugin is installed), but afterwords, it should be all set.

Nope, we did all our testing on someone that was already bridged before trying out the code path for users that were not bridged. The plugin gets processed after WP's session handling, so you don't have the WP cookies set on your first page view after getting the vB session set.

Also, your code requires a user to check the "Remember Me" box when logging into vB for the bridge to pick up on the login. You're checking against the bbpassword cookie, which isn't available unless that box is checked. Since not everyone checks it, that's another reason for using vB's session handler.

Hi,
first of all thx, for the great plugin! I allways wanted something like that.
I have to say that I?m a noob with Wordpress and vBulletin so i hope you guys can help me a bit.

I installed the vBulletin Board 3.6.4. It works great. After that i installed Wordpress 2.0.7 (german). Now i installed the wordpress plugin till the point with the testpost.
It works - very nice :up:! So, the next point would be to map the usergroups.
But there i get an error:
WordPress database error: [Table 'datdabaseXY.usergroup' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM usergroup.
:confused:
Does someone know what to do here?

Thank you so much
Marc

I just want this to share users with vb. Is this possible. I tried reading the ReadMe file and it completly confused me. I do not want it to post comments in my forum or post any other threads for that matter, I want the comments to stay like they are now. Basically all I want it for is to share users, registration only with vb. You log into vb and you can comment and such on wordpress. When you click register in wordpress it takes you to the vb register page, when you click the username of someone who made the comment it takes you to the vb profile page of that user. Is that possible with this? And if so, how do I go about doing it?

I run vb 3.6.4 & wp 2.1

If this is not possible is there a blog type add on for vb that can be used. Here is my blog right now so you can basically see what it is being used for:

Hello Jafo :-),
no, i left it blank because i didn´t know exactly what it is. Is the database prefix directly written into the database or just something like the database name?

big thx for all your work!
Marc

Jafo232

01-29-2007, 11:51 AM

The database prefix is a VB setting. You can find it in your config.php file. Example:

$tableprefix = 'vb_';

This would make your prefix vb_

Thank you Jafo!

One more question:
I want to get more users into my vbulletin-board. So it would be very useful if they get automatically from my blogarticle (by the #respond button) to the vbulletin thread that made bye the bridge! Is there any way to do that?

TY Marc

Not sure if you have, but the readme speaks a bit on how to do this:

IF YOU WANT TO USE VB For comments:

You need to edit your template files wherever comments are included. Usually these are in index.php, single.php, page.php. You will need to find the comment code. Usually this appears as:

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

You can replace that code with this:

<?php
#### Vbridge Replacement code for comments
$vbridge = Comment_Handler($post->ID);
if ($vbridge[id] > 0) {
?>

<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 comment here.</a>

<?php
}
##End Vbridge Replacement

Note, if you deactivate the vbridge plugin, you must remove this code.

I just installed wp 2.1 and I installed vbbridge too without any other plugin activated. The result was when writing a post and press publish, it downloads post-new.php

Is there anybody that has or had the same problem?

Jafo232

01-31-2007, 05:32 PM

I have not seen any other complaints of this. I guess my first question would be, do the posts publish to both VB and WP?

Second, have you ruled out any plugin in VB that may be causing this?

It will not let me add the end slash http://www.talkandmore.net/wordpress/

The code you showed has nothing to do with linking, if you mean hyperlinking. That code is for the base path (file directory path) to the vb files.

RichieBoy67

02-04-2007, 08:10 PM

I'm sorry. I didn't mean the linking I guess. I meant the paths. When you click on the Title on the top page it does not redirect properly.

I am a bit confused about the general options menu where the urls go. I am not exactly sure what goes where.

In both boxes I put http://www.talkandmore.net/wordpress/ but it kept removing the /

I'm sorry. I am having difficulty explaining my problem. If you follow the link I put up to the blog you will see what I mean...

Hey Im kind of confused I dont want the wordpress comments to be in a seperate forum i want them to be on the word press page I just want the users not have to login again is that possible with this plugin?

Im kind of confused as to what is going on.

I have merged the databases so far and uploaded the plugin what should i do next for the users to just not have to login again.

Also when they sign up at wordpress or VB are they signed up for both?

Jafo232

02-07-2007, 02:23 PM

They only sign up with Vbulletin. You need not use the comment code included with the plugin, that is only if you want to use VB for the comment engine. Otherwise, the plugin just bridges the users. If the users are logged into VB, then they will be automatically logged in to WP.

Hi Jafo,

Thanks for the update! You've included my request! :)

I tried updating the plugin as per your instructions. I get a strange error. Once i've uploaded the new plugin and go to the Options, I cannot see the option settings for VbridgeII. The error i get is "Cannot load from 0".

This error also occurs with all of my other plugins. Once i deactivate the vbridge plugin, i can access the plugins' options again.

Thoughts?

Hello, nice MOD. I am a little confused about what I am suppose to put in the VB user field. It says that this is for when a commenter is not logged in as a VB user. Is that suppose to be like a guest account that I have to set up? I am just setting this system up and have added the wordpress as a feature that I want to run out of a subdomain but I am missing the logic for what this user is... it looks exactly like what I want to have where the vb users are just recognized by the blog software and I avoid the multiple logins, etc, thanks in advance for a reply.

kindest regards, mikesz

Jafo232

02-10-2007, 03:06 PM

This is the username of the POSTER of an article if you choose to post WP posts automatically in your VB forum. Normally, the mod uses the username of the person logged in, but if you were only going to use this as just a comment bridge, then this is what the user would default to. Generally, this would be your VB admin accounts username.

Hy,

I have absolutly no idea where I have to put this code...

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();
}
?>

This plugin looks like a 5 star plugin! Thanks for making it available.

I am using WP 2.0.7 and the VBridge 2.0.4. I followed the install instructions step by step. I am using VB for comments as well.

Each time I attempt a WP login, I am redirected to VB Forum main page. I have tested in different browsers and cleared cookies etc. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem. I followed the steps in the readme, and i could only get my admin user mapper. Whenever any other user tries to enter the site admin, it gets redirected to the forum main page, but only when Auto-Integrate is on. If it is off, the user simply gets to the login page, but doesn't have a correct user.

It will not be in comments.php.. It depends on the theme you have. Generally, they reside in the index.php, single.php, and page.php files (some themes do not have single.php or page.php)

I do not think it will work with a sub domain sorry.

EDIT -

Although it may if you follow this part of the directions in the lead thread:

I did the best I could in determining your forums file path with the script. There may be certain script setups that cannot find the file path properly, in which case you may get errors that the script cannot find or open /config.php. If this is the case, please HARDCODE your ABSOLUTE path to the forum in vbridge.php.

To do this find all instances of,

chdir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . get_option('vbb_VBRPATH'));And replace the code with:

chdir('/your/absolute/path/tothe/vbulletin/directory');Obviously, change the path to your absolute FILE (not URL) path.

When I write to the blog in WordPress I get the error but the post in my forum does get created that is why I thought it was something in my WordPress VBBridge configuration. I was really stoked and feel like it is close to working..

Here is the entire error output

I have 2.05 installed. I did try making the change to vbridge.php but still got the same error.

Jafo232

02-13-2007, 02:04 AM

The error is there because the table was not created which makes me wonder if you activated it correctly? You will need to deactivate and activate the plugin. The vb_threadid column is created upon activation.

miloheckport

02-13-2007, 02:12 AM

I deactived the plugin and then activated it and still the same problem . I checked the table and the column was not created. Should I add the column manually?

I know that there are some issues with the activate/deactivate method in WP. I was hoping it was addressed in 2.1 but maybe not. The problem is, it uses AJAX when you click the activation. Sometimes the method caches so the script is never actually run. Anyway, glad you got it working.

This mod looks GREAT!

I was about to go with Expression Engine for one of my new sites, and was kind of bummed about it since it doesn't integrate with VB, but after seeing this mod, I'm re-thinking things.

Nice work!

Hey there. I am using VB 362 , wp 2.1 and the newest release of your mod. I am just trying to share users between vb and wp. I installed the plug in, and went to adjust the forum info (even though I dont want it for the comments feature). I didn't test it and turned on auto integrate. as soon as I did that, every page I go to is blank in WP. I removed the mod and it works fine again. I put the mod back in and all pages are blank. Any idea where I went wrong? Thanks!

Ok, my first question would be, can you edit your MySQL tables manually?

Yes...I am bad at reading directions ;) . I just wanted to use the user sharing so I figured it wasn't necessary. I can edit the tables.

Ok, open the wp-options table and find the option with the option name vbb_VBION. Make the option value (in the option_value column) 0. So set the option to the number zero.

Activate the plugin, and TEST before you auto-integrate.

I got it fixed but now when I do a test post and click publish it just goes to a blank page...Any ideas?

I am not sure, it depends on the host. Many hosts give you access to the error logs via a control panel. Some give you direct access (example, linux running apache: /var/log/httpd/error_log).

Jafo232

02-14-2007, 03:03 AM

Just to follow up on the issue jglass38 was having. We tinkered with it via IM and found out the issue was because his forum was locked down tight to not allow anyone except admins and moderators in. Unregistered users need to be able to at least see the forum home page. If your forum goes right to the login page from your index.php page, then this plug-in will not work.

Edited his permission scheme, and all seemed to work out.

Well first thing I would say is, upgrade to 3.6.4, your vulnerable.

Second, you don't login to the wp admin page. You login via the forum.

Then you go to the wp-admin index page. Some servers may require that you check the remember me box depending on how they handle sessions.

I have been messing with this tonight, attempting to get it to work with subdomains (changing all the paths in vbbridge.php to the actual path to my site). I only want to use the mod for user integration. I am also trying this out on WordPress MU, so that might be where the error is coming into play. But I figured I'd post just to see if maybe there is just something else I am missing that might be a relatively easy fix... Here is the error I am receiving:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare update_category_cache() (previously declared in /home/*****/*****/members.60degreev6.com/wp-includes/functions.php:593) in /home/*****/*****/60degreev6.com/includes/functions_gallery.php on line 682

I doubt this will work with MU.. I also have fears that it may not work well with sub-domains either.

wottech

02-17-2007, 05:08 AM

With the modifications I had done to vbbridge.php, it seemed I got everything to work just fine with the subdomains. And I looked at the files in the error I listed above. Ended up changing the name of the function in the functions_gallery.php, so that works now as well. I also had to change the name of a file in the vbbridge.php file (its now just registration.php in MU, versus registration_function.php). So it all looked like it was working decently. I got a post to go to the forum, so that was exciting. But, I think I came up with an issue I'm not can be worked around with MU... But you never know. That's where you guys come in :)

For each blog created, it creates new SQL tables, but they are just numerical equivalents to the standard tables (ie, wp_users is now wp_users, wp_1_users, wp_2_users, and so on). The mod adds the information just fine to the wp_XXX tables, but not to the numbered ones. Therefore, it doesn't seem like the user gets logged in to the blog. Any ideas on this one?

I am trying to do the same thing, but I have run into some issues. From what I can tell, each blog you create has a seperate userlist. This hack only imports into the main userlist. I've been busy the last few days, so I haven't been able to look into it any further though.

And if you look at the post right above yours, Jafo basically spells out that he is not familiar with WP MU at all.

What is the main difference between the author, contributor and subscriber settings? I would think that an 'author' is a contributor and a subscriber. Not sure about what any of the titles mean.

Also, now it won't allow us to login as the admin of wordpress (username admin) since we never registered as 'admin' through the forum. When we go to the blog and click on login, it now sends us to the forum, instead of the Wordpress login page. Same with register. If we log in as the forum admin it does allow us to login to the wordpress ACP, BUT only as a level 8 admin (when it's supposed to be level 10). So how are we supposed to login to Wordpress as the admin (level 10)? :confused:

You can find the differences between each WP usergroup at the WP site. Each role has different permissions.

I have a feeling you did not follow the readme to the letter. You do understand that you cannot use the same admin username in WP and VB right? This is spelled out in the readme.

Once you activate the plugin, you never login or register with WP again, only VB.

Bubble #5

You can find the differences between each WP usergroup at the WP site.
Actually they don't, at least I couldn't find anything regarding it. They just tell you about user levels (level 10, level 4. etc). I will ask on another site about what their main differences are.

I have a feeling you did not follow the readme to the letter.
You'd be wrong :D We specifically made sure that the username at WP was different. WP forces you to use 'admin' anyway so it really wasn't an issue.

Once you activate the plugin, you never login or register with WP again, only VB.
Which brings us back to our question... since we never originally registered as 'admin' through the forum, how do we log-in at vb with that username? :confused:

Which brings us back to our question... since we never originally registered as 'admin' through the forum, how do we log-in at vb with that username? :confused:

You don't. Admin is basically never used again. You should have mapped a VB usergroup to administrator. That user should have admin privis. If not, deactivate the plugin (just rename the plugin file), login as admin, rename the plugin to the original name, turn off integration, and remap the usergroups correctly.

03-01-2007, 02:11 PM

You don't. Admin is basically never used again.

Well that's not going to work because only the original WordPress admin has a level 10 access! All other WP admins are only level 8 :(

So basically what you're saying is that by installing this hack that the main Wordpress admin (level 10) is removed? :confused:

So basically what you're saying is that by installing this hack that the main Wordpress admin (level 10) is removed? :confused:

From what I understand, version 2.x does not use user levels, it only uses roles:

http://codex.wordpress.org/User_Levels

Note: The User Levels described in this article are replaced in WordPress 2.0 by Roles and Capabilities.

So being an 8 or a 10 is not relevant.

Further information follows:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

WordPress Version 2.0 introduces the concept of Roles. The WordPress distribution comes delivered 'standard' with five pre-defined Roles: Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor, and Subscriber. Each Role is allowed to perform a set of tasks called Capabilities. There are thirty Capabilities including publish_posts, moderate_comments, and edit_users. The Capabilities are pre-assigned to each Role.

The Administrator Role is allowed to perform all possible Capabilities. Each of the other Roles has a decreasing number of allowed Capabilities. For instance, the Subscriber Role is allowed just the read and level_0 Capabilities. One particular Role should not be considered to be 'senior to' another Role. Rather, consider that Roles define the user's responsibilities within the blog.

Bubble #5

03-01-2007, 02:48 PM

From what I understand, version 2.x does not use user levels, it only uses roles:
That would be incorrect. Firstly, they still describe using both roles and user levels on their site for the current (http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Administrator) version.

Role Name: Administrator

Capabilities

switch_themes
edit_themes
activate_plugins
edit_plugins
edit_users
edit_files
manage_options
moderate_comments
manage_categories
manage_links
upload_files
import
unfiltered_html

publish_posts
edit_pages
read
level_10
level_9
level_8
level_7
level_6
level_5
level_4
level_3
level_2
level_1

The admin that this hack imported is a level 8, not a level 10. There needs to be at least one level 10 admin in control at all times. We cannot just effectively delete the level 10 admin as you suggested that this hack does. We'd love to use this hack, but not at the expense of losing our level 10 admin account :(

Secondly, we tried to install another plugin the other day and we received the error: "Sorry, a user level 8 cannot make this change" so we know levels are still being used. We are also using a fresh install of their latest version (2.1.1).

You failed to read further down that page:

"Maintained for backward compatibility for Plugins"

The error you are getting is most likely from the plugin you are trying to install, not WP. The plugin needs to be updated.

I can install/uninstall any plugin on three different fresh installs of the latest version of WP. User levels are now deprecated.

The page clearly states:

Administrator - Somebody who has access to all the administration features
...

the role of Administrator encompasses every possible task that can be performed within a WordPress blog.

Does anyone have this working with VB3.5.x ? If so, were there any modifications involved?

It has been a while since I have used 3.5.x, so I cannot be a 100% sure. From what I know of the VB code, I see no reason why it will not work, but please report any problems.

2.1.2 is a mandatory upgrade, as a cracker has altered 2.1.1's files. However when we went to upgrade and tried to activate this plugin we received this error:

WordPress database error: [Duplicate column name 'vb_threadid']
ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD vb_threadid INT(10)

How should we fix this? :confused:

Also, we came up with a great feature idea if you'd like to include it in the next version. Since vB members are now automatically being subscribed to the sites blog, it would be great if their avatar also carried over. This way when they post a comment, their vb Avatar would also be displayed :)

All that error means is the column already exists. The plugin should be enabled at that point. If it really bothers you, delete the vb_threadid column from the wp_posts table.

The script may experience certain cookie and/or session issues if using different sub-domains. I cannot tell you yes or no as I have not tested it in such an environment.

I do not understand your usergroup question.

That's what we first thought, but we deleted the vb_threadid column from the wp_posts table and we STILL get the same error everytime we try to install a plugin :( The only way the error goes away is if we deactivate this hack before we install the new plugin. Using the latest version of both this hack and Wordpress.

I installed and tested it and everything seemed to go fine until I logged out and tried to log back in. I would get forwarded to the URL entered in plugin manager as my forum unstall instead of the login rendering my wp admin completely inoperable. Regardless of browsers or cookies.

Let me know if you'de like my help in getting this running. I could really use it and will pay for the service of making it work with 3.5.4.

Thank you

Hello, I have got to the point where I can post to my forums and am now trying to map user groups. I can not find a default use, I have supermoderator, moderator, uses waiting for email verification and nonlogged users, nothing for logged/standard users, am I missing something?

TIA

Hello, if this was a dog it would have bit my head off.. I was trying to add complexity where none existed. I thought the two columns were interacting with each other not realizing the they were all separate user groups. sorry for the trouble ... regards, mikesz

btw, I am running the wordpress in a subdomain so I had to change the relative path in the script to absolute and the instruction worked great!

I got everything set correctly I think and I can post a message and it gets posted to WP and VB like I expected. I mapped all the user groups and that appears to have worked but the login recognition is not working. I logged into the webmaster account on vb and called the blog and expected that it would know that I am a vb user but it does not. I can log into the admin account on WP but I thought that wp was suppose to know how the vb users are?

any ideas?

TIA, mikesz

Could be a problem with the subdomains as discussed before in this thread. It gets a bit tricky with the cookies and sessions. It is quite possible that is may not work for you with subdomains.

I am having trouble with this. I have vb 3.6.4 and WP 2.1.2 I have installed everything and I can make a test post. But when I try to login, like others it takes me to the forums. If I go to the wp-login.php it does the same takes me to the forum. If I go to my site and where I have wp installed I am not logged in even tho I am logged in via VB. I have followed the instructions to the letter and mapped the users.

Are you using subdomains? Did you try checking the "Remember Me" box?

Greg-J

When you install this plugin, you no longer login via the wp login, only via the forum. If you find yourself locked out (i.e., you didn't map the usergroups), just rename the plugin and that will deactivate it.
I mapped the usergroups, but when I log out of wordpress it takes me to the forums with the message that I didn't log out properly and a link to log out. I click that link, am logged out, and then log back in. When visiting the wordpress install I am logged out.

I have done this with both my username and another username on another computer with the same results. The wordpress install simply does not grab the login information.

Yes, as per the readme it does matter. The hack will NOT overwrite current WP users. Make sure that your VB admin username is not the same as the WP admin username.

No subdomains.

My forum is at http://mydomain.com/forums The World Press is at http://mydomain.com/wp

I have checked the Remember Me box and it is still not working, so I am not sure what the problem is.

I tried it with another username on a different PC with the exact same effect. Logged into the forum, clicked a link from the forum to the blog and all I get is the Login link with redirects me to the forum homepage.

If you figure it out, let me know because I currently don't have a clue on how this is suppose to work.

To me it would make more sense to allow them to simply log in with their vbulletin credentials on either vbulletin or wordpress. While it may make sense to a developer to have it the way it is now, it makes a lot less sense to an end user.

Hello Jafo, everyboy!

1st of all thank you for this plugin. I'll like to install the plguin but i'¡ve a few questions before, hope you can help me.

Currently I've a vb forum with lots of people in there so I'm planning to make this install just to permit the vb users to post comments on my new wp install. I dont want to have the forum as the post area for my wp, i just want to share users between system. Can I do this?

Now regarding the admin, once I install this plugin, should I be able to login on the wp-admin? As I want to install some other plugins in order to perform certain tasks on my wp.

Thanks in advance for your help and your effort to create this plugin.

Jesus
