Complete Wordpress/Vbulletin Bridge - Share Users And Postings

[deepmartini]

Does anyone know how to make Wordpress link to the vbulletin user control panel when someone clicks on their profile in Wordpress? Also, how can we get vbulletin avatars to show up in Wordpress in the comments underneath a post?

[pspcrazy]

Jafo can you make an option which will simply redirect you to the forums to login? I dislike having my user's see the wordpress screen it's not very professinal when your site is using wordpress, but doesn't want to be known as using wp and get hacked due to it (can't use the latest versions.)

Also can you not make it case sensitive? Atm my username is Pspcrazy, and i usually type pspcrazy, but it doesn't accept it from wp. It only accepts Pspcrazy now which is wierd.

Thanks,
Vahid

Also can you check your pm's? Sent 2 so far. thanks

I'm going to re-add this due to it "probably" overlooked because of the new release.

I rename the file back to vbbridge.php, log in to the vBulletin admin panel, open another browser and navigate to http://mysite.com/wp-admin which takes me to the Wordpress Dashboard. From this point how does anyone access Wordpress? This is where confusion sets in and I've yet to come across any documentation explaining this. So I'll ask again: How are users suppose to access Wordpress from vBulletin and vice versa? I'm 3 weeks into this project and I've yet to experience any of the other issues being mentioned. So at the rate I'm going I could be in for another 3-4 weeks in trying to get this thing working.
Is there a separate hack or mod that allows vB to sit within the WordPress header and footer or does it have to appear as a link off the front page?
I create a regular vbulletin user and when I try to log into vBulletin I get the window saying thanks for logging in then it takes me back to this:

You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
You are not logged in. Fill in the form at the bottom of this page and try again.
You may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

:mad::confused::mad::confused:

Any responses appreciated.

UPDATE ON MY ISSUE:
I tried the new version (4.01.12) but the problem still exists. After a recommendation from another forum, I turned off "auto-integration" and the system worked. So the "breaking" is isolated to just that part of the plugin.

Thanks again for all of the help...

==========================
Here my original issue:

I'm using the Mimbo Pro theme on my wordpress site (http://b-roll.net) and when I install this plugin, it breaks the theme. The front page displays to a certain point on the page and then stops. All other pages display fine.

In my brief experiment, the plug-in seemed to work properly... other than breaking the them.

Has anyone had this issue? Is there a modification I can make to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance...

When a guest clicks "Log in to Reply" in the comments section of an entry, they're directed to the Wordpress login page. Does anyone know how to have them directed to the vBulletin login page instead?

Ok we are trying to get this up and running we are getting this error

[Jafo232]

You put vbbridge and other files in it's own folder, which the readme specifically says not to do..

I would check your error log and see what error is being returned to kill the page half way through.. Not sure if you applied the edits in the readme, if so, there is a good chance you did something wrong and it is throwing an error..

[Jafo232]

As for PM's. Please note for those of you sending me PM's:

I am not currently available to do custom work. End of story. It isn't about the money, it is about the fact that the Earth rotates once every 24 hours. If it did that in 40 hours, then yes, I would probably then have time to help people on an individual basis.

Please keep your questions confined to this thread, PM's will be ignored.

[BigPete7978]

You put vbbridge and other files in it's own folder, which the readme specifically says not to do..Ok thanks. I will look into that. I wasn't the one installing it. My friend actually was. Not sure if he read the read me.

[Jafo232]

Also can you not make it case sensitive? Atm my username is Pspcrazy, and i usually type pspcrazy, but it doesn't accept it from wp. It only accepts Pspcrazy now which is wierd.



I will be applying this to the next version, but for now, open functions_vbridge.php and find this line:

if ( !$user || ($user->user_login != strtolower$username) ) {

Replace with:

if ( !$user || (strtolower($user->user_login) != strtolower($username)) ) {

[BigPete7978]

He just attempted it the way you stated and it is saying "Plugin does not exist". Is there something we are doing wrong here?

[Jafo232]

Umm, disable the plugin before you move it..

[b-roll]

Hello Jafo...

Thanks for your ideas on this...

I'm not seeing anything in the error log when the theme "breaks."

Everything on the page displays until the following bit of code.


<?php
$mbcount = 0;
while (have_posts()) {

the_post();

if( $mbcount == 0 ) { ?>

<div class="clearfloat">
<h4><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a> <span class="commentcount">(
<?php comments_popup_link('0', '1', '%'); ?>
)</span></h4>
<?php $mbvalues = get_post_custom_values("Image");
if (isset($mbvalues[0])) {
?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><img src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/scripts/timthumb.php?src=/<?php
$mbvalues = get_post_custom_values("Image"); echo $mbvalues[0]; ?>&amp;w=70&amp;h=70&amp;zc=1" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a>
<?php } ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<ul class="headlines">
<?php
} else {
?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a> </li>
<?php
}
?>
<?php

$mbcount ++;
}

if( $mbcount > 0 ) { echo "</ul>"; }
?>
</div>
<?php } ?>


Does that help the mystery?

Thanks again,

[BigPete7978]

The first time we did like you said, and installed it as a zip folder.
After that we followed the read me, uploaded the vbridge.php and functions_vbbridge.php and functions_wysiwyg2.php into the plugin directory, I didn't upload the resetvbbridge.php like the read me says.
I went in activated the plugin, went to options. I set up the options with all of the correct information. I got a test post to work in the forums. Then I went to vbridge user settings, selected registered users usergroup to be mapped to subscribers. Then went and enabled auto integrate in vbridge options.
I went to check the users for wordpress to see if users got mapped properly, and instead of taking me to the users page, it took me to a blank wordpress login box, and when I attempted to log in, it said invalid username.

Any ideas?

[Jafo232]

Did you try mapping administrators to administrators too? Usernames are case sensitive in WP until the next release of the bridge..

[Jafo232]

OK, added the following changes:

* Added code to process scheduled posts

* Addressed code where links and images would not show up properly in VB

* Added new table called vb_forumid for scheduled posts

* Reduced redundant calls when dealing with forum excerpts

Make sure you replace ALL the files..

[vbplusme]

Hello Jafo232,

thanks for the update, much appreciated...

[b-roll]

Thanks for the update.

Unfortunately, it doesn't improve the "breaking" pages.

Any recommendation? I really like this plugin - if I can get it to work.

[Pirat3]

I have a question, does this mod work with the VB feature of showing the first X words of a post only? (Also is anyone using this with latest version of vbseo without any problems?)

[gorentals]

I am curious as to what happens with search engines when it sees duplicate content on wordpress and vbulletin forum? I'm debating about using this but don't want search engine penalties with duplicate content.

Thanks

[dancue]

Thanks for the update!

Really easy to upgrade. Luckily, I remembered not to use the resetvbbridge.php. (You should update the text file to advise that)

Question: why is it that a ' or " gets posted on vb as a "?" ?

[Jafo232]

Perhaps, that is not REALLY known. For those worried about it, you can choose to only use an excerpt instead of the entire post (See VBridge settings).

I have no idea what you mean here. I have not seen that behavior. It should be noted that all of my testing is done on English sites. If you are using a different language, there may be other issues.

[robertjandreu]

lol you only get the penalty when the conent it the same on 2 different domains. not on your own domain. Btw Jafo isn't it a idea for our plugins to work together?

[Jafo232]

Delete the files, then re-upload the NEW files..

[rcadden]

Just tested the new update with scheduled post ability.

1. It works, as advertised. Schedule posts publish at the correct time on Wordpress, the comments bridge is correctly shown, and the corresponding thread is correctly created.

2. Unfortunately, the userID used to create the forum thread is incorrect. On wordpress, the correct author is shown. In the forum overview, it shows 'OtherAuthor' (which is what I input in the Vbridge settings). However, when I go to read the thread (and comment), it shows an actual user (NOT the correct admin), who is only a registered user.

To be honest, ideally, I would LOVE to have this setup:

1. All new threads that come from Wordpress shown as the same author, regardless of who wrote it
2. a byline added specifically in the forum thread (since this is already shown in Wordpress) to designate who wrote it, pulled from Wordpress.

In either case, it's working, but not showing the correct author.

Update:

When I turned Auto-Integrate on, my authors in Wordpress were all screwed up - each user was replaced with another (I'm sure there was a correlation, I just couldn't find it). I fixed it by re-disabling Auto-Integrate. Now everything is back to normal.

Wrong - with Auto-Integrate disabled, everything works fine, and looks normal in Wordpress - however, the new thread created by the post is tied to the wrong author (incidentally, the same author that was showing in Wordpress with Auto-Integrate enabled). If it helps, the user id of the correct author is 3, whereas the incorrect author is 8.

Also, I confirmed this author-mix-up is only happening with scheduled posts. The correct author is shown when publishing a post directly.

Unfortunately, my media uploader is busted, as well. I don't use any image handling plugins - this is pure vanilla Wordpress. It pops up fine, but simply says, 'Are you sure you want to do this?' and there's a link to "PLease try again', which, when clicked, reloads my Wordpress dashboard inside the popup window.

Hi,

first thx for a great Mod.

second Sorry for my bad english ;)

I hope anyone can help me.
I try to Integrate wordpress with vB. It works for the first steps realy good. Bud how can i change on the Startpage/Page (wordpress template index.php) the comment counter?
It shows ever 0 Comments. When i go into a Topic, than i have comments from the vB (as sample 3)

Can i aktivate the registration on wordpress with OpenID to register automatic on forum?

Hope you can understand and help me.

[lynch23]

man, this one is great. thx so much!

[lynch23]

hey, i figured out a problem there.

i just want to use this hack to identify my vbulletin users in wordpress. this works fine, but behind every username in the comments there stands "(author")

i tried everything in the Vbridge User Settings, but nothing will change it.

here are 2 screens:

Please disregard, its working like a charm!

[Mr. Mooney]

Hey Jafo. I've setup the mod, and its working great so far. I did notice one issue though. Our forum has a private admin forum. The mods do not have access to it. When a moderator goes to make a post in Wordpress, it gives them to post it in the admin forum and also in another hidden forum to mods. Is there a way to stop their ability to see these forums?

Thanks!

[maipoman]

Please disregard, its working like a charm!

Do you mean that you get the vB-avatar and link to vB-profile in Wordpress? If so, please share how you got it working! :)

For me, the bridge works - but avatars or link to vB-profile is not imported into WP.

[pspcrazy]

I will be applying this to the next version, but for now, open functions_vbridge.php and find this line:

if ( !$user || ($user->user_login != strtolower$username) ) {

Thanks for letting me know. Also about the pm's thanks for letting me know. Darn though lol it's not easy finding someone who knows about this as much as you do.

Can I hack the source of this plugin as well and use some of it on the new site i'm building? Thanks, PSPC

[beezo]

I am not totally, totally sure. But I followed the instructions to the T. (Added code after the part it told me, replaced what I needed to replace all in comments.php)

After I tested the bridge which worked i integrated it. What I think my problem was, I was trying to comment on old posts that don't seem to work, but when I made a new post, I saw my avatar and link to the post on VB and their profile. Have you tried doing a new post. I also have VB handling my comments.

I have installed this and this is the error that I get:

I get this too. I tried the newest version and had to deactive. I went back to 4.01 and now it is broke too. Not sure what I did wrong to break the new and old version.

I tried the last release erly in the morning. The image problem seemed to be solved but the media manager is still not working.... Altough I want to use this plugin so badly, unfortunately only its functional for those who uses ISO-8859-1 encoding or utf-8. I wish there were any option possible for users who has to use other encodings because of their local necessarity. I'm personally forced to use ISO-8859-9 encoding for my forum any other option were not optional. I hope Jafo 232 would consider this for next releases....

Just wondering if VB admin users are listed in author drop down list if we map them as WP admin?

Only WP "admin" is listed as only one author on WP side when I try to change author.

To Coder

Thanks for this great plugin.. acctually you already told the solution via PM but i m stupid tht i not understnd what you talking about.. sorry and thanks one more time for support.. one more question related this.. is this only share post of Wordpress to forum or also share forum post to wordpress post? bcoz i try on sample post in wordpress its ok its also show in forum section where i mention in setting but when i post in such section in my forum i not see any thing in my wordpress..

[getfitatl]

:up: Ok so after banging my head against the wall I think I split it open and released the "fart" because I think I finally get it. So to start here's what I've done:

1. Create a new VB User ID: 6
2. Create a new user for the VB Username: mypublicuser
3. Create a new forum and add it to VB Forum ID: 8
4. Add the Forum URL: http://mysite.com/vb
5. Add the Forum Relative Path: /vb
6. Add the Database Prefix: vb_
7. Answer Yes to Forum use UNICODE (UTF-8)
8. Select Yes to the "Post Articles To Forum" option
9. Clicked Submit and successfully create a new Post in the forum.
10. I then mapped my VBUsers accordingly:

Unregistered / Not Logged In Do Not Map
Users Awaiting Email Confirm Subscriber
Super Moderators Editor
Moderators Author
Registered Users Subscriber
(COPPA) Users Awaiting Mod. Subscriber
Administrators Administrator
Banned Users Do Not Map

11. Mapped users Saved!
12. Turn Auto-Integrate on. Saved!

Observation: the WordPress account I'm logged in with is no longer recognized so I'm immedialy logged out of the site. This is where I'm suppose to log in with a vBulletin account.

=======================================

1. Either register some new accounts or log into the vBulletin Admin panel and create some new accounts.
2. Assign the newly created user(s) to the Registered Users group which should've been mapped to WordPress Registered Users.
3. Log in to vBulletin with this newly created user. Once logged in to vBulletin you're also logged in to WordPress. This can be confirmed by entering /wp-admin to be taken to the Dashboard.
What I've tried to do is this:

a. Download the WordPress Sidebar Login plugin, upload, and activate it.
b. Now I log in to WordPress with one my new accounts, go to the vBulletin via /vb, and see that I'm also logged in to vBulletin.
b. With the sidebar login plugin I can go to the options and add a few links:
<a href="http://mysite.com/wp-admin/">Dashboard</a>
<a href="http://mysite.com/vb/">Forums</a>
<a href="http://mysite.com/vb/usercp.php">vBulletin Profile</a>

Now when I go to the WordPress front page I see that I now have a way of clicking to the WordPress Dashboard, my vBulletin Forums and Profile.

Note:
1. It seems as though the side bar login links are visible only during the current session. Once I log out and re-enter I'll have to add the links again. So what I need to do is figure out how to hard code the links so that it appears for all users.
2. When logging out of WordPress the only way to completely log out of it and vBulletin is to do so from within the WordPress Dashboard. If I attempt to log out by clicking either the Logout link on the WordPrss front page or within vBulletin the account remains logged in, regardless of how many times I click the link.

Observation(s):
1. I have my front paged linked to a static page and the posts linked to a page called News. So upon visiting the site users are presented with a greeting. Now that I've turned on integration my welcome page has been replaced by the new / posts page. What I'd like to know is if there's a way to control this or do I have to turn the greeting into a post?

2. When I click on Comments in the post it causes my sidebar and center to shift. See it here (http://getfit-atlanta.com). Should I remove the Comments link or would it be possible to change it so that when clicked it takes you to that post? Also, aside from the one post I don't think I want all of my posts linking to the forum. Is there a way to make it so that it doesn't happen or is this a feature of how the inntegration uses the vBulletin comment system? If it is I'll go with it I just need to better understand it.

Current Challenges:

1. Create links inside of vBulletin that point to wordPress. Or maybe this is where I try to "Wrap" vBulletin inside of WordPress. Any ideas?

:D I'm all teeth as I'm almost there.

[Blackhat]

I will consider to install this. Is it working, are there still many bugs ?

[amjadz4]

It works perfectly. No visible issues if you follow the instructions exactly as they are said.

Anyone require theme integeration, that is wrapping your vbulletin inside the wordpress page can contact me. I can do it for you for a small charge! :)

Hi,

first thx for a great Mod.

second Sorry for my bad english ;)

I hope anyone can help me.
I try to Integrate wordpress with vB. It works for the first steps realy good. Bud how can i change on the Startpage/Page (wordpress template index.php) the comment counter?
It shows ever 0 Comments. When i go into a Topic, than i have comments from the vB (as sample 3)

Hope you can understand and help me.

For the right counter on startpage replace in the index.php (from template)
<?php comments_popup_link(__('No Comments »', 'kubrick'), __('1 Comment »', 'kubrick'), __('% Comments »', 'kubrick'), '', __('Comments Closed', 'kubrick') ); ?>

with:
<?php
if (function_exists('Comment_Handler')) {

$vbridge = Comment_Handler($post->ID);

global $vbulletin;
}
?>
<a href=<?php echo get_option('vbb_VBURL') ?>/showthread.php?t=<?php echo $vbridge[id] ?>>
<?php

if (intval($vbridge[count]) === 0)
echo "No Comments &raquo;";
else
echo intval($vbridge[count])." Comments &raquo;";
?>
</a><br /><a href=<?php echo get_option('vbb_VBURL') ?>/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&t=<?php echo $vbridge[id] ?>>Add your comments</a>

but how can i use OpenID?

[SABRSox]

I've noticed an issue. When I auto-integrate, the bridge seems to confuse the wordpress userid with the vbulletin userid.

For example, say I, with userid #2 on the blog, writes a post. With auto-integrate, it will list on the wordpress blog the article as written by whomever has userid #2 on vbulletin.

Yeah that is a pain, I noticed that this morning!

Also, if you click on Authors & Users it redirects to forums/admincp/user.php and a lot of people change the name of their admincp for security reasons. Could it be made so you can define the admincp in the settings for vbbridge?

Also if there was a way of supporting user avatars from vBulletin to wordpress, that would be sweet. That way it would be easier to distinguish posters on the blog (as most people remember the avatar rather than the name).

[COOLover]

I have the same problem

My post in wordpress is :
Essai lien : <a href="http://xxx-xxx.net">xxx-xxx</a>

Essai image : <img src="http://www.xxx-xxx.net/relief-bleu/misc/Ban1.png" alt="" />

And when i publish my post and write to Vbulletin, i see that :


Essai lien : http://ahref>XXX-XXX

Essai image : http://imgsrc alt="" />

What's problem ?

Thank's for your answer

here a fix for the ahref problem:
file: wordpress/wp-content/plugins/functions_wysiwyg2.php


find:
$text = preg_replace('#<script[^>]*>(.*)</script>#siU', '', $text);

add after that:
$text = str_replace('http://ahref>', '', $text);

What are the known issues on latest release? I am on the last release and only issues is url now showing up.

Well so far with me the usernames that are associated with the posts are completely off atm. Like for instance my username is id 1, and it's showing the username with the id of 22. When another user with a userid of like 692 shows a person who's user id is 2217.

Check it out yourself: http://www.animecrazy.net/gintama-episode-1/ Click on the author and you'll see it's the real author, but on the wp site it shows up wrong.

Thanks for any help provided.

Edit reverted to older version for now.

I just went ahead and uninstalled WP and started from scratch. If you still want to offer assistance with my install issue I would very much like to run this mod. I think it is a great one.

[getfitatl]

I don't understand what do you mean:

any link from your WP oder vB is wrong.
http:/getfit-atlanta.com/ <-- you need at : an /

Are you saying I need to add the training slash / somewhere? I did this without thinking or looking and now I get the following error:

WTF! I go back and I thought I saw where it stated NO TRAILING SLASHES! So what are you referring to and how can I resolve this issue? :mad:
I've tried disabling, removing, and reinstalling but I continue to get this error everytime I activate the plugin. I've seen where the question has been asked but don't recall seeing a fix, unless I'm so blinded by own frustration that I'm failing to see.

I've got the phpMyAdmin plugin installed but don't see where I can go and make this change. I try to hard code the /vb path in the vbbridge.php file but it doesn't work.

ANY responses appreciated.

[devoslack]

After turning on the plug-in, I consistently get:

"Error 500 - Internal server error

An internal server error has occured!
Please try again later."

I try removing the vbb entries in the wp_options MySQL table, start from scratch with the same error when I attempt to activate the plug-in.

[pspcrazy]

Getting this error when i use forum excerpts (pulled from error log):

WordPress database error Lost connection to MySQL server during query for query SELECT t.*, tt.* FROM dc_terms AS t INNER JOIN dc_term_ta xonomy AS tt ON t.term_id = tt.term_id WHERE tt.taxonomy IN ('category') ORDER BY t.name ASC made by require, require_once, include, get_sidebar, locate_templ ate, load_template, require_once, dynamic_sidebar, call_user_func_array, wp_widg et_categories, wp_list_categories, get_categories, get_terms


It'll post the post, and edit the vbulletin thread but i'll get a blank page immediately after i click the publish button.

It sure is and thanks for sharing! :) I didn't see any comments from your vB, so I have to ask: did you get the avatars and usernames to migrate to? My problem is that I can't get that option to work. I've followed the "readme" a hundred times, but I'm just clueless when I get to this point:
Wherever you see the code: <?php the_author() ?> You can replace that with something like: <?php if (function_exists('Comment_Handler') and $vbridge == '') {
....

Exactly where am I supposed to see the code "<?php the_author() ?>"? I don't see it "wherever" - in fact, I can't seem to find it anywhere! Is it supposed to be in the "comments.php" template? The only thing similar that I can find in my comments-template is "<?php echo $comment_author; ?>".
Also, does "replace it with something like..." mean "just replace it with THIS freakin' code"? ;)

Do you have suexec enabled on your webserver?
Make sure your folders etc are all chmodded to 755 (anything above that and you get 500 godes)

Installed simple and easy.

However posts in WP have no avatars. So, when going to the WP profile section and trying to setup the profile info, it just redirects me to the VB board login screen.

How can I get avatars to show up, or allow users to set up their profiles on WP?

Ok almost a MONTH later. Can I get an answer. Support thus far is crap. Perhaps disable the support until you get caught up on things. I was lead to believe this was a supported item when I first downloaded.

Make your own program and provide support for it for free then. I appreciate what the guy does for his mod - he is not paid to do it.

This question has been asked numerous times, you need to edit the avatar wordpress code to reference the vb code as Wordpress users no longer exist "This mod bridges your Vbulletin users over to Wordpress."

Those instructions can't be right. There is no query in vbbridge.php with this code: $sql = "select postid, username, userid, pagetext, title FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post where threadid = '$results->vb_threadid' order by dateline";

There is however: $sql = "select postid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE threadid= " . $ed_post->vb_threadid . " and parentid = 0";

Hi all

My question is what are the advantages and disadvantages of using vbulletin as my comment engine, instead of the “spammy” one built into word press. Also will it make any difference from an SEO point of view.

Thanks

[rcadden]

Hi all

My question is what are the advantages and disadvantages of using vbulletin as my comment engine, instead of the ?spammy? one built into word press. Also will it make any difference from an SEO point of view.

Thanks

The main disadvantage is that this plugin is your only option. While it works decently, and I'm certainly not trying to whine (obviously he does this for free), it *is* a disadvantage that this is the only real option for bridging the two.

For advantages, here's how I see it:

1. Using vBulletin, I've enabled my readers to have ongoing conversations with one another, NOT stemming from a post. This enables and encourages a bigger community, as users can pose their own questions.
2. Using vBulletin, I've basically created a socially acceptable duplicate of my content (the wordpress post, which is married to another page that contains the thread). This means my traffic is effectively doubled, and I have a whole new inventory of ad space to sell. That's good for me.

To be clear, though, before integrating vBulletin, I didn't offer readers any 'account' in my wordpress install. The only users I had were me and 2 other authors, plus a few test accounts. I also run it currently with integration turned off. There's no reason for readers to have access to the wordpress backend, in any way/shape/form.

You can check out my integration at http://www.symbian-guru.com.

I'm currently also struggling with the userid matching issue. However, if you have auto-integrate disabled, everything works, but authors are shown correctly (according to the person who clicked the publish button, though, not necessarily the author of the post).

[KevinL]

@rcadden I like how you have set that up. It look nice. But doing it this way, wouldn't this give you duplicate content? What I am saying search engines would look at your site and you have the same content in WP as you do in your forums. I've always read that this is bad for SEO?

It is on the same domain so apparently not an issue. Symbian Guru (great site!) has a pagerank of 5

Thanks. I believe that's right - since it's on the same domain, it's not seen as duplicate. Similar to how category and archives don't hurt you, either.

In any case, as soon as the user id issue is fixed, this'll be the best plugin ever.

I have a default page I create along with a second one called News that my Posts are pointed to. Now that the mod is installed and working it makes my News page the default showing all of my Posts. While I understand this is a feature of WordPress and a function of the Mod I'd like to change this and have my front page display a different page. Has anyone been able to change this?

Check your cookies, uninstall (completely) then reinstall the mod on a fresh copy of wordpress.

I also need to use an additional wordpress plugin: http://ekushey.org/?page/web_input_manager . It helps to write in Bengali language, stores content as unicode in database. So far no problem within wordpress database.

But contents in vbulletin database are not stored as expected. Though both wordpress and vbulletin databases are set as utf8_general_ci; contents in vbulletin database are stored as Hebrew. (for example: হা হা হা.। ??•??‡মন ??†??›??‡ন? )

It seems you did not follow the instructions carefully line by line. This happens when the mod isnt correctly installed. Try re installing it. Remove it COMPLETELY first...even the tables in the database.

This is not what the mod does. It does the opposite. It disables the wp comments once turned on and installed. If you do the comments modification from the readme, it replaced wp's comments with vbulletin posts. So when you reply to the post in vbulletin..it will appear in wordpress.
Hope that helps!

Hi there,
This is the guy using it on www.hazardassembly.com

Hi everyone, just installed this plugin on my wordpress 2.7.1 but I'm having problems with the "upload/insert" image while writing-editing posts (If I disable the plugin, everything is fine, so I'm assuming it's a vBridge problem). Basically, whenever I click on the "add image" button, a blank screen appears into the "Add Image" popup with this phrase "Are you sure you want to do this?" and a link "Rerty". If I click on "retry" I am sent back to the "modify article" page.

Any suggestion?

Check your VB Bridge options again, you may have misspelled the URL.

No need for a plugin to do this. Simply enable the RSS Feeds widget which is there by default in wordpress and put the link of vB feeds in it. That's what I do :)

The RSS feed will not work if you haven't activated RSS External synidcation on your forum. To do this, on your forums admincp, go to vBulletin Options->External Data Provider and check 'Yes' on Enable RSS Syncidcation.

2. Wordpress UserID is matched with vBulletin UserID, instead of matching the username. This causes mis-matches, which is an issue specifically for publishing new posts.

Anything else?

To the dev - how much would you need to have donated to fix these faster? I recognize that you're doing this in your spare time, but is there a way we could buy more of your spare time for these bugs?

There are always alternatives till that issue is fixed: ( if it fits you )

1. You can always link the image from any URL. That works just fine.

2. That is one thing if you have many bloggers. Still not available as a feature yet.

I have issues using the flash uploader with this plugin, it presents the wordpress login screen when I try to upload an image - The Browser upload works fine for images mind you.

Not sure what you meant by that....If I'm right..do you want show 50 forum posts of an article as wordpress comments?

Check your VB Bridge options again, you may have misspelled the URL.

Settings are fine... i have doubled checked but i can't make it work :(

delete the mod and its files and start over.
make sure you also delete all tables it creates in the database. usually starting from vbb

Thanks for this, seems about right on...

[reimic]

Not sure what you meant by that....If I'm right..do you want show 50 forum posts of an article as wordpress comments?

no. in my wordpress blog i use the vbulletin to show the comments under the blog post. and the problem is that there are all comments of the forum post. and so i only want that that the last 50 forum posts (comments in wordpress) shown up in wordpress article.

btw: the autor thing is a really big problem. i use the mapping tool but the autor shows not up in wordpress. there stands nothing. also when i want to edit a post in wordpress, there is no autor. when i disable the mapping tool, the autor shows correctly but the image uploader doesnt work..

i want to donate for you that you keep up the good work!

[tako]

I don't know the same thing is causing my problem but when I try to edit published post, only users from WP's side are listed on author dropdown list. Is it only me, or anyone has the same problem?

I have this installed using VB 3.8.2 and WP 2.7.1. The test post worked fine, however when replies to the test post are made on VB they are not showing as comments on my Wordpress site, which I believe they should be doing unless I have misread something?

Comments made on the Wordpress side are not transmitted as replies to the post on the forum either, so i'm not sure which way round this is supposed to work.

Also before installing the hack I had just 1 member on VB (me) but quite a few on WP. I notice mapping users has not created forum accounts for the WP members automatically - are they expected to create seporate accounts for VB?

[ForrestBlack]

I have installed this plugin and gotten to the test post portion (before the user integration) and the test post did work. It posted the correct story to the correct forum. However, the user I put in the vbridge settings as the default (User ID: 5980) if the author was not shared is not the user the vB test post was associated with. Instead it made the vB test post as the general administrator (User ID: 3301) I test posted a few times with different authors and it kept doing the same thing.

Is this a problem that will clear up in the next step, once the users are integrated, or is this a warning sign that things are not quite right yet and I shouldn't continue?

I've seen that others have had this error:
After turning on the plug-in, I consistently get:

"Error 500 - Internal server error

An internal server error has occured!
Please try again later."

...but I have not seen a reply as to how to fix it. My installation is extremely vanilla - same domain for vB and WP with no custom modifications to either. vB is installed in /forum and WP at the root. No database prefix. I've applied the 755 chmod to each of the WP folders.

The only thing that I can think of that is not out-of-the-box is that I have PhotoPost installed and integrated with vB and that is all working just fine. Is there a chance that a permissions change there is keeping this bridge from working?

Any help would be appreciated as I'd like to get this going before the site goes live. I have temporarily removed this mod since it wasn't working.

You are having a conflict with other plugins. disable everything else and install this. then enable one by one..and see which one is causing it.

[rcadden]

I think a great solution to the userid issue would be to just have every post from wordpress come into vbulletin with a generic userid, like 'Front Page' or something like that - which is possible, but not if you're signed into the forum, even if you have the autointegration turned off.

It also doesn't work in scheduled posts, annoyingly.

[Lloyd32552]

I decided to start over from scratch because I could not get by the Error 500 message.
So I created new databases and installed just the newest versions of WordPress and vBulletin. No mods or plugins have been added. I created a single user in vBulletin named Integration - ID is 2.
I've created no new categories and so am just using the default category which is ID 2.
The forum url is http://nameofmysite.com/forum
The relative path is /forum
I've turned on the plugin
The site uses UTF-8
Auto-Integrate is NOT turned on.
Post articles to forum is turned on.
Excert from post is turned off.

When I try to write the test post, I see the drop-down box with the correct 'Main Forum' category and when I click Publish I get Error 500.

Does anyone have a suggestion or would someone be willing to login to my site at 1and1 and look at my setup? I can PM you the login info.

[Lloyd32552]

Just a continuation of my last post...

I am still getting Error 500, but I now see that my posts are showing up in the forum. So I guess my new questions is - should I be concerned about the Error 500?

Also, should I assume this has been a successful test and turn on Auto Integration?

[tako]

I have an exactly same problem.

That is the only one big issue I currently have with this great mod.


I found a bug. When a 'editor' or 'author' edit thier own post, the post gets placed under userid number one, which is in my case me myself the admin. I hope you can fix this.

[wiizard]

Since today my website isn't reachable anymore, returning the following error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_userdatabylogin() (previously declared in /var/www/wii/wp-includes/pluggable.php:166) in /var/www/wii/wp-content/plugins/functions_vbbridge.php on line 33

I had to delete the vbbridge-files manually to restore the functionality, though I can't use the integration now. Reuploading the plugin doesn't help and even the resetvbbridge.php-file returns that error.

Is there any way to get vbbridge working again?

/edit:
Okay, re-installing the plugin does actually fix the problem.
But it seems that it's only a matter of time until the error comes up again - and I have absolutely no idea what causes it. I've seen that there are some other users with the same problem, so maybe it's a bug in the script?

[amjadz4]

I am sure most of you who are having the problems are not following the instructions correctly. You will not get any error if its followed step by step. I have tried it myself and I finally got it what was causing those issues.

Anyone wanting to setup the bridge and make it work once and for all can PM me. I'll be happy to set it up for you making it worth my time. :)

also about the USER ID issue, as far as i know this mod is not designed for that. I hope the author will fix that in the next version so for now, there's no use talking about it, simply don't use the posting feature at all for now. If you want only users integrated that will work perfectly. (and that's what most of the people actually want!)

[wiizard]

Well, the plugin worked without problems for several days, until all of a sudden the error occured.

The only modification I did is to connect the avatars and usernames of the wordpress-comment-system with the vBulletin's user-IDs.

It's working fine right now, but god knows how long.

Hi,

I have problems with pending posts, so I came up with this filter in order not to lose the original author of the pending post when it's published. I don't know if it's only me who has this issue or not?


add_filter('wp_dropdown_users', 'vb_post_author');

function vb_post_author($output) {
global $post;

$vb_post_author = get_userdata($post->post_author);
$output = str_replace('</select>','<option value="'.$post->post_author.'" selected>'.$vb_post_author->username.'</option></select>',$output);
echo $output;
}

[ph03nIX]

I came across something I thought I'd point out.
When auto-integration is on everything works fine but when I turn it off I cannot get to Media Upload, it just says “Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again.”

Not a big deal really just thought I'd point it out.

Great mod either way, I am loving it so far. :up:

[metalguy639]

No matter what I do I get a blank page after trying to make a post. I've tried all the configurations etc and nothing seems to work. I edited the vbbridge.php file to placed the path to my vbulletin board, I've tried switching the settings on the bridge. I made sure the bridge was turned on. When its turned off wordpress work just fine. I switched the settings from using UTF to not using it, always the same thing a blank page after I click the "Submit" button in wordpress to post the article. I do not want to integrate users into my wordpress but I would like to have my blog posts show up on the forum with out having to copy and paste them into the forums. I'm running vbulletin 3.8.1 & Wordpress 2.7.1. Please help.

[N-0p3rz]

I seem to be having trouble with compatibility.

The plugin works fine, but when I activate the plugin (and I'm sure it'd be any other plugin that calls for the same function) Role Scoper, one or the other will cause the site to return in error.

This is because both call for wp_set_current_user.

Any way to possibly fix this?

[Fraik]

You need to edit the URL and path to match that of your forums

If you want only users integrated that will work perfectly. (and that's what most of the people actually want!)

That's not entirely accurate - there are a few of us who don't need the user integration at all, but who use this plugin solely for the ability to bridge posts from Wordpress over to vBulletin. For us, it's crucial.

Actually, I wonder if it would 'fix' things if I deleted all of my Wordpress users, aside from the admins/authors? I don't particularly need for my readers to have Wordpress accounts (in fact, I would prefer they not, for security reasons). Would that hose things?

[rcadden]

I've got $50 for the first person who can provide a fix for the user ID issue with scheduled posts. If it's the dev, great. If it's someone else, great.

Can you tell me where exactly you added this filter?

in vbbridge.php

just before

add_action('publish_post', 'Vbridge_Post');

but you can add anywhere that you want, I put it there to keep it close to the add_action (easy to remember)

please change the posted code to the following, add this filter only in admin end

function vb_post_author($output) {

hello, when i add a tag its automatic a category! could you please tell me what to do to fix that bug?

[wiizard]

Okay, to everyone experiencing the "cannot_redeclare"-error:

In my case it was due to vbb_PLUGION being set to 0 instead of 1.

Check your wp_options table for this entry and just set it back to '1'.

Also I've searched for the function causing the value-change and only found the following one so far:

if (!file_exists($vwd . '/global.php')) {

echo "cannot include $vwd/global.php. You should check your path! Turning Plugin Off";

update_option('vbb_VBPLUGION', 0);

exit;
}


I've changed it to
update_option('vbb_VBPLUGION', 1);


Seems like sometimes the global.php file can't be accessed and therefore the script automatically sets vbb_VBPLUGION back to 0. Would be interesting though to get some more details about this problem. :o

Could be working the plugin when I work this way?

maybe the autor sometimes could answer my questions because none of them are mentioned!

I have a vBulletin forum that my users use as a standard forum for making posts, sharing photos, etc. I also have wordpress, where only I publish "official articles" for my online magazine.

I don't want these entries to never show up on the vBulletin forum....they'll remain exclusively on wordpress along with their comments. This is ALL I want the bridge for. Will it work? Any special considerations?

Whenever I activate the "Auto-Integrate" on I keep getting blank pages for all of Wordpress. I tried mapping "Unregistered / Not Logged In" as every possible role but I get the same results (blank pages).

That said, if I head over to the forum and log in (either as a user or an admin), I get all Wordpress pages with no problem.

Any suggestions?

[Dannyloski]

First of all, thanks for the great Add-On, I appreciate it. I installed it and works like a champ. However, I do have some questions I am hoping the OP or someone with knowledge can answer ...

I am installing this in a Client's Site and I'm integrating his WordPress with vBulletin. My client wants the vBulletin Welcome Box to appear in the WordPress Homepage. Is that doable with this Bridge?

Basically he wants it so that when the user is logged into the Forums and he views the WordPress Homepage there is a Box in the Sidebar that says:

Welcome back, [username_here]!

He also would like me to add the Avatar of the User next to that "welcome" line - I dont know if that part is doable or not. I saw some post regarding Avatars but it was mostly for the Comments/Posts being made by users.

Either way, can anyone help me out or let me know if all of this is doable using this Add-On or at least the "Welcome" line? Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Danny

Installed and nominated =) (I won't let you add my website yet though, as I'm still in the testing stages and gotta build my theme for wordpress and vbulletin which happens to be my first time making a theme, let alone convert it to both wordperss and vbulletin :P. So it will take a while, but I'm really happy you did this mod :) When I get the forum up and running with wordpress you can expect a nice donation from me)

Anyways kudos for the mod

[brainfood]

Yeah that is a pain, I noticed that this morning!

Also, if you click on Authors & Users it redirects to forums/admincp/user.php and a lot of people change the name of their admincp for security reasons. Could it be made so you can define the admincp in the settings for vbbridge?

Also if there was a way of supporting user avatars from vBulletin to wordpress, that would be sweet. That way it would be easier to distinguish posters on the blog (as most people remember the avatar rather than the name).

I had the same problem with the admincp/user.php link not working. To fix this I modified line 640 of vbbridge.php:

$arg = 'admincp/user.php';

I hope this helps.

Not Working:

When editing a post in the wordpress, it instantly changes the author to userid 1. I have to edit it in the WP database to show the proper author



Any ideas?

[vprp]

I assume this will work if I have the Facebook connect mod installed? All I have to do is map the user?

[YoricksRequiem]

Hi,

I have problems with pending posts, so I came up with this filter in order not to lose the original author of the pending post when it's published. I don't know if it's only me who has this issue or not?


add_filter('wp_dropdown_users', 'vb_post_author');

function vb_post_author($output) {
global $post;

$vb_post_author = get_userdata($post->post_author);
$output = str_replace('</select>','<option value="'.$post->post_author.'" selected>'.$vb_post_author->username.'</option></select>',$output);
echo $output;
}


Hmm, where would I put this?

[lucalucius]

It is possible to insert automatically in Wordpress' posts a link of relative thread?

Great job

[amjadz4]

I keep getting the message plugin file does not exist when I try to install this. Can someone assist me please. Now i get this error as well.

1. image uploader - still shows an error



Did anyone find a work around for this issue?

there is only one workaround. Dont use the image uploader... upload ur images via ftp or else where and link it in the post using the image tags.

Try the Browser uploader instead. Works for me.

That does not work for my needs. I have multiple non-technical writers that need to upload images. The Wordpress uploader works well, but cannot be used with this plugin active. It stinks too because everything else works perfectly. Are there plans to fix this?

The mod author knows best. He might come up with the fix in the next release. Bear in mind that this mod is still a work in progress with certain limitations.

[lucalucius]

It's a problem if I have the forum in a subdomain?

WP : http://www.domainname.com/
ForumVB : http://forum.domainname.com/

I don't use this mod for that...

Great addon, almost everything is working perfect.

First of all, great addon. I am thinking of using it in my forums (130k members) and am now testing it with our new CMS (Wordpress ofcourse).

I have the same problem mentioned in the quote above. If anyone could come up with a fix for this issue it would be highly appreciated! Thanks.

Wouter.

Yep, I do.

[glowinggal]

yea! i'm working on installing this today on our test wordpress development - we have almost 100k members and will post back on how it works out :)

[diosrl]

Any chance this would eventually work on subdomains? I have multiple subdomains, like blog, forum, links, and more to come. I truly like this script but I think I cannot give up subdomains :(

[amjadz4]

Yes, it wont work. Mod limitation.

Yes, I am. Works perfectly! :)

You can use subdomain redirects. I am having no problem with that.

[icewarp]

I have this installed using VB 3.8.2 and WP 2.7.1. The test post worked fine, however when replies to the test post are made on VB they are not showing as comments on my Wordpress site, which I believe they should be doing unless I have misread something?

Comments made on the Wordpress side are not transmitted as replies to the post on the forum either, so i'm not sure which way round this is supposed to work.

Also before installing the hack I had just 1 member on VB (me) but quite a few on WP. I notice mapping users has not created forum accounts for the WP members automatically - are they expected to create seporate accounts for VB?

I am having the exact same problem. Does anyone have any clue on this?

[peleh]

in vbbridge.php

just before

add_action('publish_post', 'Vbridge_Post');

but you can add anywhere that you want, I put it there to keep it close to the add_action (easy to remember)

please change the posted code to the following, add this filter only in admin end



if (is_admin()) {
add_filter('wp_dropdown_users', 'vb_post_author');
function vb_post_author($output) {
global $post;

$vb_post_author = get_userdata($post->post_author);
$output = str_replace('</select>','<option value="'.$post->post_author.'" selected>'.$vb_post_author->username.'</option></select>',$output);
echo $output;
}
}


Thank you for this, worked here.





About the author link going to vbulletin profile, does anyone here tried this code?

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 (function_exists('Comment_Handler') and $vbridge == '') {

$vbridge = Comment_Handler($post->ID);

global $vbulletin;
}

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

<?php
}
else {

the_author();

}
?>


It was writen in the readme, doesnt work here since i dont have the_author on the files, its ... :{

Here is a bit of my theme's code:
<div class="postmetadata">Posted by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> at <?php the_time('F j, Y') ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>#discussion"></a></span>
<span id="digg"><?php digg_this(); ?><span>

[peleh]

About the post above, i got it working by folowing this tutorial, which is not exactly like the readme instructions: http://www.sisak.info/wp-content/plugins/readme.txt

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

<!-- start post loop -->
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

ADD the following code after it:

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


The author 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();
}
?>

[EagleNick]

I've noticed an issue. When I auto-integrate, the bridge seems to confuse the wordpress userid with the vbulletin userid.

For example, say I, with userid #2 on the blog, writes a post. With auto-integrate, it will list on the wordpress blog the article as written by whomever has userid #2 on vbulletin.

Has a fix been posted? I'm having the same issue and it's annoying.

[peleh]

I guess this mod was made to run a fresh install, but you can get around that by hijaking some user accounts on your forum that match the wordpress user ID. Also, you can edit wordpress user ID at the database, but i really dont know if that could bring more problems.

That's a good idea about changing the WordPress user ID. I don't see it having any adverse affects. We'll see. :)

[bluerob]

The mod works good but now I can't upload media in wordpress. I get an error message in the popup i-frame window. How do I fix that?

Also is there a way to fix the issue of when I log out on wordpress or VB that it also logs me out on both ends? If I log out of VB, WP still shows me as logged in, and vice versa.

Thanks.

PS> now that I integrated the two software it appears all the author gravatars and and name credits have disappeared from the site. Any idea how to fix that as well?

[EagleNick]

For some reason only the articles I post on the blog are synced with the forum, having a thread created. Another administrator of the team creates a blog entry, but a thread isn't automatically created. Why?

Also, I can't find what this adds to the database. Can somebody tell me exactly where to look and what I'm looking for? I have browsed all of the tables for both my WP database and my vB database to no avail.

I get the Wordpress login screen at this stage if using the flash uploader. Using the Browser uploader works no problems my end though.

Anyone have any idea at all about the missing author credits on WP? It really sucks....

Yes, I mapped the users.

[kursed]

There is a problem that I'm facing with this hack as well. I've mapped a particular usergroup on vBulletin to 'Contributors' in WP.

Now, the problem is that whenever these contributors submit an article or write up for review, as soon as I (or any other administrator) chooses to publish it, the name of the author changes that to the person who authorized the publishing of the write-up.

But that's not all. If the administrator chooses to open the post, and from there publish it, the author name doesn't get affected. It only changes if you make the change from the main screen, where you can see all the posts at once.

That said, since I've not chosen to post new entries on WP to vBulletin, I believe I can't use the above mentioned code - in order to correct this problem.

Can anyone in here, help me with this issue?

The only problem for me here, is that the person that "publish" keeps the credit on the vBulletin posting side. But the real autor is ok on the WP side.

[kursed]

That I already have done. But it doesn't affect this issue.

Does anyone have a problem where images that are placed in wordpress new posts are being removed/not added in forum posts? (talking about when making a new topic in wordpress not comments)

[KittyMan]

Alright. I'm having a bit of trouble using this plugin. I recently upgraded to this one and it seems to create a problem when I turn on auto-integration. I followed all of the instructions and yet it still gives me weird warnings when I turn it on. I've been trying to figure it out, but I can't figure it out. Any suggestions?

The warnings I'm receiving are below.

I get the Wordpress login screen at this stage if using the flash uploader. Using the Browser uploader works no problems my end though.

I need the flash loader because sometimes I have a lot of images to post and it will take way to long to upload each one individually.

You should consider using some gallery based upload when you have lots of pictures, like nextgen gallery, i upload almost all my pictures inside a .zip here.

I went through all the steps correctly, i could post threads to the forum from wordpress. When i hit auto-integrate i get a white screen for every one of my wordpress pages but the forums work fine and i am logged in.

any help?

I have a question..
I have the forum with unicode: ISO-8859-1
and the wordpress with UTF-8
since i'm using spanish as my default language, but when I want to change one, so they can be the same, it all goes turnin' ugly, that's why I have it like that.. but, i'm using the comments from vbulletin so in the wordpress files it shows some weird characters like: � instead of é.

Hope you can help me, since I love this mod. (:

[glowinggal]

Jafo232, thank you so much for the update! No more media uploader problems! :up:

Unfortunately, my one concern still exists. For some reason, vbBridge clashes with my other plugin, Featured Content Gallery (http://www.featuredcontentgallery.com). It's a highly popular WP-plugin that creates an automated rotating image gallery of posts or pages. When vbBridge is activated, the Featured Content Gallery won't show up in Firefox. It does in IE though.

This is the code that is used to display the FCG-plugin (that FF won't read when vbBridge is on):
<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>

Both of these plugins are very important to me, so I would really appreciate some help to get them both working!


same trouble we found here today - my featured content gallery worked find until I installed the plug in and now doesn't show on my wordpress blog :( -- and same exact thing as well - shows in IE but not in firefox.

Greetings, I have installed the Complete Wordpress/Vbulletin Bridge and it seemed to work well at first, sending my postings to forums and integrating my user lists. But then I noticed that my static home page, which is just a greeting, is no longer recognized as my home page. Instead, my home page is a series of posts, starting with the most recent. I really need my static home page to work as it is. Any ideas?

At first I suspected a couple of plugins I was using -- Redirection and Simple Login -- but I've deactivated these and reinstalled the Complete WP/VB Bridge, and it still has the same effect.

I lose the home page when the plug-in is turned on in the WP Dashboard, not when the files are uploaded or the plugin is activated in the WP Plugin screen. It only occurs when the plugin is "switched on." I also saw someone posted something about this being a WP bug that occurs when you allow posts to be segmented, but I've turned this off, and still no good. Hoping someone has a solution here. Thanks.

Check the relative path. Also make sure you are not logged into the wordpress dashboard. The login works from the forum ONLY. If you are logged into both separately, you may get the white screen sometimes. At least that's what I have noticed.

1. make sure your users are mapped correctly.
2. Log out from both completely.
3. log into the forum as admin.
4. visit /wp-admin from the same window.
5. turn on auto integrate.

give it a try. :)

a simple alternative till a fix is posted would be using an external image host where you can upload multiple images. you can even get a free image upload script for your website or better still use picasa! (also saves you bandwidth) :)

I was having the same problem at first while installing it for some clients. unfortunately I could not find anything which was causing this. So i decided to use a theme which has options to choose the type of front page you need. that suited perfectly. you can get some of them from elegantthemes.com or perhaps...use a plugin that creates separate pages for homepage.

[AdjaniB]

In the vbridge plugin settings select this option to:

I forgot to say that, I already had that option selected as no and it still looked weird. =(

Thanks for the help. It was something obv stupid on my end.

I have another question though. I am using vb for my comments on wordpress and did everything correctly as stated in the readme file, but I was wondering if there was a way to limit the number of comments shown. I'm sure it's a simple fix, but I'm not brilliant at understanding the lines of code to fix it on my own. Can it be done to limit it to say, 10 posts before not showing any more?

[Sunflower2007]

I don't like this mod
This mod has embedded script that hogs your server bandwidth i do not recommend you using it.:down:

[kursed]

I'm using a mod which shows a list of authors posting on WP. And as it seems, it cant find any other author except for the userid: 1 of vBulletin.

I'm seriously getting tired of this mod's inability to correctly merge users of the two systems together. =/

[WouterN]

Hi Kursed, that is because your users in WP are actually not in the WP usertable.
You need to fetch the unique userid's from the posts table and compare those userids with your vb userbase. That way you will get the posters on your site.

[WouterN]

Ok, here is a working solution for the folks that get this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_userdatabylogin() (previously declared in /var/www/domain.com/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php:166) in /var/www/domain.com/html/wp-content/plugins/functions_vbbridge.php on line 33

Put this in your vbbridge.php file (can be at the top):

update_option('vbb_VBPLUGION', 1);

After you have refreshed your site you can comment that line out again.

Hope this helps! It worked for me.
