I am currently running a phpbb site and want to switch over to vbulletin.

Right now the main feature we have is the ability to post a topic on the phpbb forum, put it under a news category, add topic tags and then the post shows up in our forums, rss feed and front page that uses wordpress. I am trying to replicate this using vbulletin and so far have installed the following mods:

Complete Wordpress/Vbulletin Bridge (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=134521&highlight=wordpress)

BoardTracker Advanced Topic Tags System (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=128642&highlight=boardtracker)

Now the issues I am having is that I don't have a way to categorize news and be able to post in the forum and send it to the wordpress page. Is this at all possible and are there mods out there for this? I have been searching all over trying to find some mod that would work and I have struck out left and right....

Well from what I learned my front page is not really a wordpress blog. All it is doing is taking some info from the database and displaying it. Now....with phpbb we had this mod installed:

Slashdot Style News Mod (http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=69725)

Here were it's features:

Feature Overview:
* Slashdot style news postings.
* News topics are marked in forum view.
* News categories are easily selected when posting or editing topics.
* Enable, disable, and set image path from the admin control panel.
* Easily assign forum and group permissions form the forum and group control panels.
* Easily add, edit, and delete news categories from the News control panel.
* Included RSS news syndication, to allow other sites to syndicate your news stories.

Now the news categories is the key for me. I need to be able to categorize news on the site and be able to post it in any forum, not be limited to one news forum.

Is this at all possible?
