Complete Wordpress/Vbulletin Bridge - Share Users And Postings

[WouterN]

Step 1: get a list of distinct userid's from the post table of your wordpress database.
Step 2: loop that list and use a vb function like "get_userinfo.." to fetch the userinfo. Or you could just run a new query fetching all the userinfo you need using the distinct list of userids.

[Ross L]

Has anyone else had this problem:

If I go to wp-admin/edit.php it shows a list of the posts / authors. All the authors are showing up as the wrong name, but if I click edit, it shows the correct user selected. Is there a fix for this?

Cheers,

Ross

Has anyone found a fix for this yet?

Cheers,

Ross

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?
You can use this plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/paged-comments/

However you have to modify its comments file (comments-paged.php) as per the instructions in the readme of the vbridge mod same way as the one which you already did.

:)

[amjadz4]

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

really? where?

Thank you!

To amjadz4

"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 don't want to use outside party tools. The reason I love using wordpress is because everything I need is already there. Plus google images picks up on my seo/tagged images inside wordpress and sends traffic my way through that. If I switch to another source I would miss out on that.

I need a fix, not another tool online to waste more time using.

Basically WordPress is assigning a different userid to vbulletin, so when you make a post it is showing the wrong user as the author in WordPress.

[Chirag patel]

Can this import posts that are already in one of the forums that I want to integrate to?

If I click in WP on nickname I receive an error 404. Whether It is possible to make so that there was a redirect on a profile in VB or articles written by the author in wordpress were shown.

...been looking through this (and older versions) thread and so far havent found an answer to this:

IF YOU WANT TO USE VB For comments:
Find this line in comments.php
<!-- You can start editing here. -->
Add this code:

I can not find "comment.php" in either WP or VB. There are similar files (comments.php, wp-comments.php, others) but none specifically called "comment.php."

Also could you be a little more specific about where in "comments.php" should we be adding the code listed as necessary for using the VB comment system...?

(Im on VB 3.8.2 and WP 2.7)

Thanks

[amjadz4]

you may want to check out wordpress.org for plugins that do this. its not a vbulletin issue.

If I click in WP on nickname I receive an error 404. Whether It is possible to make so that there was a redirect on a profile in VB or articles written by the author in wordpress were shown.
domain/author/jera/ Error404

the characters you are using maybe causing the problem. try changing the encoding and dont use SEO links.

its just a typo. the author meant it as comments.php. No reason to be specfic. the comments file is pretty obvious to most.

Post your the code of your comments file here and only then can we be specific. Basically just search for the line
<!-- You can start editing here. -->

and add it after that.

Its possible keep all posts/comments/replies separate and only share the users - correct?
For a new users, do they have to register through vB or Wordpress?
Has anyone use gravators with wp and the vb mod?

Thanks in advance...

I've tried to modify this line...

But it doesn't seem to help.

I know this bridges the posts and the comments as well, is that for new posts only or can we do old posts as well?

[ashley76]

I have it up and going at http://www.dccollector.com but, I have one problem. Most of the posts say "No Comments" even if someone has commented on it via the forum. You can check out what I mean by looking at the "First Look Jonah Hex" on the top right hand scroll of the site... You can see it says no comments but, there are comments...

[amjadz4]

????

disable page list plugin. that's all you can do. sorry.

I know this bridges the posts and the comments as well, is that for new posts only or can we do old posts as well?

the new posts only. its obvious, when you make a blog post and post it to the forum, only then you will have the comments. if you make your old posts also post to forum...then you can have its comments. so to make the old WP posts get comments from vB...publish it again so it shows up in the forum and you will start getting its comments.

I've tried to modify this line...

But it doesn't seem to help.

the path is not correct. you have type from the home folder
for example on a linux server it would be

/home/username/public_html/forums

Just want to confirm...

For a new users, do they have to register through vB or Wordpress?

Thanks in advance...

1. Yes.
2. they have to register thru vB. you can remove the wp login file and code. all registrations are handled by vB.

Does this works with wordpress v 2.8?

lets wait for the stable version of 2.8 come out to start testing.
however i am willing to test it out on my test server. will post back the results here!

[rsuplido]

Hey all! I was the first who started creating this vB - WP bridge (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=94443). I'm so happy to see what it has become!

Anyway, I'm not sure if someone has posted a fix to the media upload bug. Anyway, here's what works for me:

In vbbridge.php, around line 47, find:
#if (basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) == 'upload.php') { return; }

Replace with:
if (basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) == 'media-upload.php') { return; }

I'm on WP 2.7.1 so if you use a different file or utility to upload, change media-upload.php to the correct php file.

[Rukas]

disable page list plugin. that's all you can do. sorry.

That is disappointing. I have a couple questions before I decide if it's worth it, no disrespect intended.

I only require this bridge to allow vbulletin users to post comments on the wordpress blog using their login. I dont care if the posts are posted onto the forum. And in fact, dont think this will work, my forum and blog are on a different database, while on the same server. Your instructions made no mention of needing to share the same database so I didnt set my site up this way and now it is too late to go back.

So, knowing my forum and site are on two different databases (same server), is it possible to bridge the user login and access levels or no? Comments can remain on the wordpress side of things I dont care as long as they work.

try this:
do not type anything in the relative path in vbridge settings. and open vbridge.php...edit the line
$vwd = '____';

in place of ____ write the full path to the subdomain folder..
give it a try!

[Blade-uk]

What do i put for the forum url?

http://forums.eteknix.com or http://www.eteknix.com/forums ?

The main domain is the first one.

I left the path blank and put this line in:

$vwd = '/home/aruffell/public_html/forums';

and when i try my test post i get:

Warning: require_once(./includes/class_dm.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/aruffell/public_html/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 113

Any ideas?

Got it working with:

Will this work on Wordpress 2.8 ?

[scry3d]

If I have this bridge working correctly right now on vB 3.8.1, it should be safe to upgrade to 3.8.2 right?

[poromenos]

any update for wordpress v 2.8?

[WouterN]

I have the bridge working with:

VB 3.8.2 and WP 2.8 without problems.
I actually upgraded to WP 2.8 this morning and the bridge kept working.

[thunderclap82]

I'm curious why this program can't bridge a WordPress site and a vBulletin site if they have different domains? Is there something that prevents the W/V Bridge from doing this or just a decision on the designers part?

[WouterN]

I think that as long as you can include the global from vBulletin it is possible. That means that the subdomains have to be at least on the same server(cluster).

[redraider]

Fro me when I upgraded to WP 2.8, the bridge failed. Now It just gives a white screen .... I had to remove the plugin to make my WP work again.

[pspcrazy]

Does this work with vb 3.8.3 and wp 2.8? Redraider did you try reenabling it by going into wp and then turning the option from vb off to vb on that should fix it.

[redraider]

pspcrazy, thanks for replying, but as soon as I put the files inside the plugins directory, my whole wordpress install goes white ...cant even go to the admin panel. Is there some way to change this option from the DB ?

[skariko]

I've installed WP 2.8 and VB 3.8.3 and it all works with no problem.
I recommend to DEACTIVATE the VB-Bridge *every* upload and re-activate it after the upgrade.

[powerbook]

Hi,

Don't know if anyone else has this or can suggest anything...

Some of my members I have to moderate their comment all the time and for others it is automatically published. I checked the groups and there doesn't seem to be an issue.

Any suggestion where I can look?

I am not using the vB comment/posting to forum system just the user integration between the two..

Thanks

[rcadden]

Is anyone using this plugin and WP-Super Cache at the same time? Any conflicts?

[scry3d]

Don't know if it is just me but after I updated the new wordpress, my wp admin cp got really buggy. I can't expand or collapse any of the categories on the side (like posts, media, links, etc), quick edit doesn't update, screen options don't stay (though I think it was the same before too), can't drag widgets. So basically v2.8, which is mostly new improvements to the wp admin cp, doesn't work at all with this =P Anyone know why this mod messes up cp so much and if there's a way to fix it?

[markavatar]

Is anyone using this plugin and WP-Super Cache at the same time? Any conflicts?

I've had both installed and in use for about 2 weeks (wp 2.7). I haven't noticed any problems.

[presyce]

PLEASE HELP ME!! Before I seriously kill myself!

Will this work if my wp is
/blog
and my forum is
/forum
???

I'm trying to log into wp-admin and it sends me to the forum usercp. How am I supposed to access the wp-admin???

Thanks a lot!

[N-0p3rz]

May need to get a physic evaluation if you're contemplating taking your life over a plugin.

Answer to your first question, yes. So long as they're on the same server & you're directing the plugin to the correct directory, then yes it will work.

Your second question.. It sounds like your plugin is working. If you're getting re-directed that means you're trying to access the User Options on WP. It shouldn't redirect you if you're only trying to get to /wp-admin (At least to my knowledge)

Is your account an admin account? If not, that may be why you're getting redirected.

[amjadz4]

Upgraded and Tested on vB 3.8.3 and WP 2.8 Works perfectly. No bug spotted so far. Its safe to upgrade, however remember to deactivate the plugin before upgrading just as a precaution.

Make sure you have your original wordpress admin login.
:)

[lucalucius]

When it's active, I can't use the media-upload function

^Having the same problem & would like to know how to resolve this issue as well.

However it's only the quick popup add media when you're posting a new post.

Uploading works fine if you go directly to the Add Media page.

Have you read the README file? I am sure it has all the instructions given in there....Is there anything you don't understand with which we can help...then please ask.:)

[andyfielder]

Hi,

Yeah i read the read me.

Some of the find and replaces wernt there, so i have done what i think it right. I think some of the functions have changed that WP uses.

Find:

<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>

And replace with:

<?php if ( have_comments() and ($vbridge[id] == '')) : ?>

Doesnt exist. i have done this:
<?php if ( ($comments) and ($vbridge[id] == '')) : ?>

Do i need to delete the WP comment form? Or have i missed a stage to use this to send comments to the forum.

Any help is much appreciated, i have done much reading through all the comments and of the readme etc.

[amjadz4]

They wont necessarily will be there. You have to figure out where to insert it. If you can't simply paste your comments.php file here http://php.pastebin.com/ and post the link here.

I can't be sure of what you did cuz it depends theme to theme. And no you dont have to delete the comment form. This mod replaces it.

[pablete]

You're right. I apologize for the mistake. I followed all the instructions.
in the path of the user vbridge options worpress when I click on my page is blank, which can now be the problem?

If you use this integration, when a member from VB submit/write an article in WP, you approve it to publish, will that article show the authors name (VB username) and a link back to his VB profile page?

Thanks!

Thanks!
Yes, provided he is mapped correctly.

[pengrus]

Really, I checked out more than ten sites using this integration, all of them just showed the vb member name with no link back.. Do you have an example on this? Good to read your signature. ;)

[amjadz4]

For the link back you will have to make some changes in the code so that the author names get a link to userCP. It's not all that hard.

And no, I do not have an example currently. Sorry :)

Hey Gang,
I've installed this here:
http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/test-post-please-disregard-this-post-tweet-and-thread/

And the corresponding test post in the forums went through perfectly here:
http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3486

However, as you can see on the WordPress page above, my comments area is confusing, showing several confusing things:

#1 - Two separate "Comments" Headers.
#2 - the correct comment (which was a reply on the forums) showing, and the correct (1 comment - add your comment) link which take you to the forums
#3 - right under that there is a "comments are closed" message.
#4 - right under that, is my normal WordPress comment box as well.

So, I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the "comments closed" line, and the whole WordPress comment area.

You should be able to see the stuff I"m talking about here:
http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/test-post-please-disregard-this-post-tweet-and-thread/

However, I'm uploading a screenshot here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/06/17.png

[AzzX]

You can alter the "comments are closed" message in comments.php of your theme. I just set mine to read OzSource Discussion otherwise remove it.

[fmckinnon]

OK, I've done that, and chopped up the code to get rid of the extra boxes and stuff ... pretty much removed all the rest of the comment form box, etc. Seems to work - of course, ONLY on new posts that I've submitted since the plugin was activated - on all the OLD posts now ... the old comments (from within WP) show up, but you can't add new comments because I removed the comment code from the comment.php ... I assume that's the only way?

[fmckinnon]

ALSO - FOLLOWUP QUESTION:

Now that my WP-Users are disabled (if I click users in WordPress, it literally takes me into vBulletin, as I suspect it should?) ... is there a way I can attribute the posts of the old WP users (our various e-zine contributors) to their new forum IDs?

For example, in WordPress - if you delete a User, you can attribute all of that user's prior posts to a given ID ...

So, I'm trying to figure out how to get into the WP-Users and attribute all "admin" posts to the new twc_admin user (vbulletin).

Could anyone give me a pointer how to fix the above error?

Also, what will happen if I do not put a FORUMID in the bridge setting? I don't like to post the articles in the forum.

I also found sometimes when a member submit the article, if I click to edit, the article will be published under the admin username rather than the vB member's name. Is there a way I can change the author name?

Thanks!

[ashley76]

anyone come up with a media upload fix yet?

[Tigratrus]

Ok... I remember going around and around on this one when we first started using Wordpress with our vBulletin system, but now I'm going to try again to get the details working right :).

We're using a custom template for WP based on a Revolution Code Blue template. I've upgraded to the latest files from this thread, and everything is working right with the exception of the comment integration. Thread is being crated as it should, with the right size (excerpt) and the link back to the WP entry from the thread.

But there's no link from the wordpress entry TO the thread, and my attempts to integrate vB as the comment engine has thus far been a total failure.

This is what the comments.php looks like before I did anything to it:
<?php // Do not delete these lines
if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');

if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) { // and it doesn't match the cookie

Off the top of my head I'm guessing that maybe it's a problem with Comment_Handler()?

Anyway, any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I have this running on vb 3.8.3 and wp 2.8. In case anyone's interested, I had no problems getting this to work with two separate host names as long as those host names are on the same server.

For example: I have blog.domain.com and forums.domain.com The path to the blog is /var/www/html/blog and the path to the forums is /var/www/html/forums -so I just created a symlink to /var/www/html/forums called, "forums" in my blog directory and now blog.domain.com/forums/ takes me to the same place as forums.domain.com.

I also had the blank pages problem on my install, but noticed this only happens when the mod is activated, but turned off. When I turn it on, everything works as expected -but when I turn it off, the dashboard gives me a lot of blank pages. I'm not too concerned about this, but thought I would mention it because it actually took me a couple of hours to figure that one out... maybe I can save someone some headaches.

Now if someone could tell me how to get the avatars to show up in the wp comments I would be happy. I know there is info on this in the readme and others have posted solutions to this issue in the threads that have followed this mod, but all of the docs I have seen seem to be out of date -or at least, not specific to vb 3.83 and wp 2.8

The avatars on my forums are stored on the filesystem -so technically, all I need to do is find a way to grab the vb user ID for each comment and then build the image path from that.

Thanks.

Hi, can i have support on this one?

I upgraded to WP2.8, and everything went fine, just one bug.

I remember that before i upgraded, when posting, the dropdown user selection was blank, it worked that way, but now after the upgrade it shows my wordpress autors there. How can i change that box to blank again?

My wordpress is overwriting the original author when i post, with my authors this works fine, since they dont have the dropdown selection box on their posting screen.

PS: Just to make clear, this only happens with me, because I'm administrator/editor, so i have the authors selection box, my Authors doesnt have that box, so they can post with no problems. Downgrade my account to author would solve this, but i really need this to work with admin privileges, so that author box should be blank... :{

This is the code that I found under edit-form-advanced.php.
/**
* Display form field with list of authors.
*
* @since 2.6.0
*
* @param object $post
*/
function post_author_meta_box($post) {
global $current_user, $user_ID;
$authors = get_editable_user_ids( $current_user->id ); // TODO: ROLE SYSTEM
if ( $post->post_author && !in_array($post->post_author, $authors) )
$authors[] = $post->post_author;
?>
<label class="screen-reader-text" for="post_author_override"><?php _e('Post Author'); ?></label><?php wp_dropdown_users( array('include' => $authors, 'name' => 'post_author_override', 'selected' => empty($post->ID) ? $user_ID : $post->post_author) ); ?>

I guess you can see that the posting itself is overwriting the author. I'm not sure if I can remove this function all together... :}

Edit: I confirm that removing all the function from the edit form solved the problem, tough this is not actually a solution... :/

Edit:
The code i removed from edit-form-advanced.php, this file is under /wp-admin in case anyone wants to fallow:
function post_author_meta_box($post) {
global $current_user, $user_ID;
$authors = get_editable_user_ids( $current_user->id ); // TODO: ROLE SYSTEM
if ( $post->post_author && !in_array($post->post_author, $authors) )
$authors[] = $post->post_author;
<label class="screen-reader-text" for="post_author_override"><?php _e('Post Author'); ?></label><?php wp_dropdown_users( array('include' => $authors, 'name' => 'post_author_override', 'selected' => empty($post->ID) ? $user_ID : $post->post_author) ); ?>
}
add_meta_box('authordiv', __('Post Author'), 'post_author_meta_box', 'post', 'normal', 'core');

Hey all! I was the first who started creating this vB - WP bridge (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=94443). I'm so happy to see what it has become!

Anyway, I'm not sure if someone has posted a fix to the media upload bug. Anyway, here's what works for me:

In vbbridge.php, around line 47, find:
#if (basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) == 'upload.php') { return; }

Replace with:
if (basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) == 'media-upload.php') { return; }

I'm on WP 2.7.1 so if you use a different file or utility to upload, change media-upload.php to the correct php file.

This fixed for me here, using WP2.8.

Hi,

I have wordpress 2.8.1 installed on http://Affiliates.ws and VBulletin installed at http://Affiliates.ws/forums.

It looks like members have been centralised as when i login as admin on the forum i appear logged in under wp and vice versa.

However, when i go to add posts and edit wordpress and visit http://Affiliates.ws/wp-admin it redirects me to my profile page on the forum ?

Any ideas so that I can go to the dashboard area of wp when logging in ?

Thanks in advance

Mike

Check your path's again. If that's not working, hardcode it in vbridge.php
look for it in earlier posts.

[Tomahoochi]

Everything seems to work perfectly so far for me with one exception... when I turn the bridge on, all of the authors for existing and new articles have been changed to a different forum member name. When I turn the bridge off, it reverts back to the correct author. Any ideas?

[sparky37]

I've been fighting with this thing all day.

I've uploaded the files properly and whatnot but as soon as I enable this plugin in WP my whole webpage disappears. Nothing. Just blank pages. I have to go back to a cached page and disable the plugin in order for the webpage to work.

It seems that I'm not alone, however it also seems that I've not seen a solution posted anywhere despite finding this problem mentioned in a couple different forums?

[fmckinnon]

Hey Gang -

Our site is about to featured at a major conference while we do a live event blog/twitter feed. I really need to have this going by tomorrow - so I'm reposting my two unanswered questions from a few pages ago ... if anyone can reply and give some answers, I'd be very grateful. I wouldn't repost this so quickly, but we're in a time crunch, and this is major promotion coming our way!

QUESTION 1: OK, I've done that, and chopped up the code to get rid of the extra boxes and stuff ... pretty much removed all the rest of the comment form box, etc. Seems to work - of course, ONLY on new posts that I've submitted since the plugin was activated - on all the OLD posts now ... the old comments (from within WP) show up, but you can't add new comments because I removed the comment code from the comment.php ... I assume that's the only way?

QUESTION 2:

Now that my WP-Users are disabled (if I click users in WordPress, it literally takes me into vBulletin, as I suspect it should?) ... is there a way I can attribute the posts of the old WP users (our various e-zine contributors) to their new forum IDs?

For example, in WordPress - if you delete a User, you can attribute all of that user's prior posts to a given ID ...

So, I'm trying to figure out how to get into the WP-Users and attribute all "admin" posts to the new twc_admin user (vbulletin), and of course, do the same thing for the other wp-users who were contributors, etc.

[fmckinnon]

OK - I'm thinking this may not work out - we're using the Role Manager plugin, and multiple contributors (users) in WP have different roles, etc.

So ....

Let me move on to this ...

Is it possible to do this:
1) auto-post the new wordpress articles in the respective vbulletin forums
2) use vbulletin for comments

but NOT use the user-sharing bridge?

So, really - sharing users really isn't a big deal to us - as much as using vbulletin for the comments on the blog side, and for making the blogs go over into vbulletin automatically.

Thanks in advance - for now, you can totally disregard my previous questions, and just answer this one.

I guess mapping the users via bridge is only needed if you need the vb-users to post on your blog, you can try to run this mod with Auto Integration OFF, dont know how this will work for you though.

For me here, the best way of using this mod was getting rid of all WP users and authors, and mapping the new vb-authors to make blog posts, i guess this would be really hard if you already have a big wordpress site with lots of posts and contributors...

[fmckinnon]

peleh,
thanks - I'll give it a try. The reason I can't do the second thing you suggested (great idea) is because not all vbulletin users are allowed to be contributors on the blog - only a select few are. We use the "Role Management" plugin in WordPress - and those who have "contributor" privileges in WordPress can login to WordPress and submit articles; however, they go into "pending publish" so our editor can review and edit them before taking them live.

When auto-mapping is turned on, ANY vbulletin user can then post a blog (article) immediately without any moderation. (NOT a good idea) ... unless I'm misunderstanding something.

Well, you have to make a custom group inside vBulletin, and assign the users you want to that group, so you just map the custom group from vB to WP. The regular users from your forum should be mapped as registered.

For example, all my staff here are Authors, so i mapped only staff to be authors, and thats it, they have access to WP posting.

PS: When mapping, try to always select "Do not map" for groups that you do not want to map, doing this i guess you maybe prevent some mapping bugs to happen... :P

[fmckinnon]

Gotcha -
That makes sense. Well, here's what I have so far ... I turned off the auto-map, and I *DID* successfully post over to the forums via WordPress (hooray!). However, there is a good bit of HTML formatting in my WordPress post, and since my Vbulletin forum had HTML option turned OFF, it didn't render properly.

So, I deleted the thread, and changed the forum permissions to allow HTML.

I went into WordPress, saved the post as a draft/unbpublished, and then re-published it again, hoping it would re-post to the forum, but no luck.

Somehow, somewhere, either wordpress, vbulletin, or the bridge is remembering that you've already posted that wordpress post to the forums, and if you've deleted the thread from vbulletin, it won't re-add it again if you re-publish via WordPress ...

Does anyone know a work-around on that - or how can I make it repost to vbulletin again?

The bridge is working, because a NEW wordpress post works fine - and even the old ones, that are already in there, if I save as draft and then re-publish, they post to the forums .. .but if you delete the thread in vbulletin, and try it again - it won't double-post.

[fmckinnon]

UPDATE: OK, I have it working now - without mapping users.

Now, the only problem I have is this - I originally setup the vbridge settings to use my forum ID #1 "twc_admin" ... I've changed it to a new user (#2395) TheWorshipCommunity.Com and saved the changes; however, when I post new content in Wordpress, it still comes across in the forums under userID #1 (twc_admin) ...

I've verified the changes - what do I need to do so that the wordpress articles now post under the correct userID in vbulletin? Maybe disabling and re-enabling the plugin?

[peleh]

You dont have to delete the topic, just unpublish it, the topic will disappear, when you save, everything on the topic will be saved also, but i dont know how this will work if you have auto-integrate turned off.

Another thing, its unsafe to allow users to post html on vbulletim, with that, they can totally screw up the topic with html commands, like background color, and so on.

Maybe because when you are the editor, wordpress is aways overwriting the author when you post, check the bottom of the posting page, if that is your case, the solution i found for me is by removing all the author selection code inside the posting page, you can see from the partial solution on my post on the previous page of this topic.

[fmckinnon]

hey - thanks so much.

A little explanation - I was deleting the threads in vbulletin, not the actual posts in wordpress. I deleted them after doing a test post (which put a test post in the forum), etc ...

Regarding HTML - I tend to agree, which is why I had it turned OFF - however, that almost negates the purpose of the plugin posting into the forum - I can't imagine there are many wordpress posts that don't contain some HTML formatting (ie. graphics or links) ... and it really made the forum post look junky with all the HTML code in the forum post not parsing ...

Regarding the other issue - I've tried changing the authorship in wordpress (in the bottom of the write post window) to any number of various authors - regardless of what is chosen in that menu, it always posts into the forum as my userID #1 - though I've already changed that in the vbridge settings.

I'll keep trying.

REGARDING THE HTML: if it's best to keep HTML turned OFF in the forums, how then do you advise handling the HTML tags that are in the WordPress posts?

[peleh]

Hmm, on my installation here, images, text and links go just fine even with html turned off on vbulletin.

What i do here, when some code go trought and apears on the forum, like nextgen gallery, i edit the post. When i try to pass embed code, like videos, i edit with the format that vbulletin accept, wich is a link to the video.

[MrFab]

hello there !

thanks for this mod, so great... BUT i have a problem : I've done everything (I think so...) but when I turn on the integration, I can't login anymore to Wordpress. It seems Wordpress goes to the VB database (it doesn't recognize the "admin" login of WP), I log in with my VB admin login (Fab) and it redirects to a blank page (login.php), without setting any session :/

Do you know where it comes from ?

(sorry for my poor english :()

peleh,

That's totally weird - are you sure your HTML isn't turned on in your forums admincp for that forum? Every wordpress post that went over into my forums showed the unparsed HTML code - so in the forum it would have all the <html code> showing ... img links, a href links, etc.

[amjadz4]

I've been fighting with this thing all day.

I've uploaded the files properly and whatnot but as soon as I enable this plugin in WP my whole webpage disappears. Nothing. Just blank pages. I have to go back to a cached page and disable the plugin in order for the webpage to work.

It seems that I'm not alone, however it also seems that I've not seen a solution posted anywhere despite finding this problem mentioned in a couple different forums?

Un-install COMPLETELY using the resetbridge file and including the tables from database. and then install it..STEP BY STEP. it will work without any errors :)

When you have mapped users, the login only works from vbulletin. So login to the forum first and then visit /wp-admin ... you will be logged in automatically.

The WP users table becomes useless.

[fmckinnon]

amjadz4 - are you saying that HTML that is present in the WordPress posts should go over into the forums and parse correctly, EVEN IF THE FORUM PERMISSIONS HAVE HTML SET TO "NO"?

How do you completely uninstall, and start over?

[amjadz4]

Yes even if its set to NO. the HTML permissions are overridden as per the poster's usergroup. So if he is an admin for example and has HTML allowed in its usergroups setting, the post can have HTML. the forum's persmission wont have anything to do with it then!

To completely uninstall this mod follow this:

1. disable plugin ( doesnt matter if u dont ) and delete all uploaded plugin files.
2. open up phpmyadmin or any database management tool on your server.
3. in the WP database click on search and type in: vbb_ and select inside wp_options ( you will probably find around 27 matches )
4. delete all tables beginning with vbb_ - make note of this as there will be some tables NOT beginning with vbb_ do not delete those!
5. in the column find the "option_name" as active_plugins ... click on edit.
6. search for a line similar to this: i:5;s:12:"vbbridge.php"; ( the numbers may be different ) and delete it.

That's all. Plugin removed completely. You can re-install it now and make sure you follow EVERY LINE of the README. If you do not make a mistake you wont have a problem!

Has anyone been using this just for registrations? All I want to do is simply get vbulletin registrations and Wordpress to match up, username and password, as well as changing. I thought of using this plugin but don't know of anyone using it. I have WP MU and I was able to get it working on a prior version, integration of login info only, don't care about the posts.

I was also looking at amember but it's very expensive and some parts seemed very awkward and I wondered if they even worked. Plus it's encoded, not a good thing.

Ah, OK - that explains it ... I am NOT using the auto-integration, nor am I sharing users - I have the auto turned OFF ... I only wanted it for:
1 - post the article into the forum
2 - use vbulletin as comments

What I can do is go into my usergroups for my UserID in Vbulletin (or the userID that the bridge is set to post as) and make sure HTML is turned "on" for them, though it's off in the forums. I'll try that - thanks for your great help.

Hey -

[ViciousCode]

@ Jafo232

anyway you can add a widget for the sidebar to have login form
and links to register and forgot password

and when the user is logged in, it shows welcome message, a link to their profile on the forum
and a link to usercp like the image here.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

if you can make this, that would be awesome, thats the only thing that the plugin needs

Great - but my problem when I ran it was that I had an impossible time logging in the wp-admin with it enabled, unfortunately.

With regard to WPMU, have you run it just to integrate logins? I understand the problem of having a MU blog to work properly with using it to redirect posts. What would be nice is to have a sole integration for membership alone. (Jafo is a good developer... I bought some of his worldwide plugins a long time ago.)

[fmckinnon]

Hey, yeah - well if I enable HTML in the forum permissions, it parses fine ... but I was advised a few pages back that it wasn't really safe to have HTML enabled on my forums. (I see even here vbulletin.org, the HTML code is Off)

Are you talking about doing this somewhere other than forum permissions? For the life of me, I cannot find anywhere to give a usergroup permissions to post HTML in posts ... only in signatures (in User Group Settings)

I am very grateful for your help - trying to get this thing fixed tonight!

[shaqoneal]

This modification seems really cool, but I was wonderign if somebody could please answer my questions:

1. Do Wordpress and vBulletin have to be in the same mySQL database, or can we use two separate databases?

2. I was reading the readme and it says that we have to make a "test post". So what this hack is doing is making posts in Wordpress AND vBulletin at the sametime?

3. If the answer to the above is yes - is it possible to ONLY use vBulletin's user repository in Wordpress? I am not interested in having duplicate posts in WP and vB. I only want the registered user system to be shared.

Thanks.

Oh sorry, I am using this mod for that, I missed it:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=96926

According to RS_Jelle (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=106096), as said here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1829498&postcount=2).
When HTML is allowed, you can post malicious code. Like iframes (which can contain virusses) and JavaScript (which can be used to obtain admin passwords).

So you create a huge XSS security leak. Only allow it if you really trust all people in that usergroup.

So this mod is what you should use. Works on the latest version too.

Sweet - that's what I was looking for! Now - any clue on how to make it quit posting as userID 1 in the forums, even though I clearly have the userID and userName as a totally different user in the vbridge settings? (when I first installed this and tested it, I used #1 ... and it seems to be caching or saving that somewhere, and the changes I'm making in vbridge settings aren't overwriting it).

[amjadz4]

Only the mod author can answer that. I am not sure how he is doing that in the code. I tried to change the ID manually in the code but that made things worse. Started giving errors so I didn't bother. For me, its fine because I want user ID 1 to post to forums :)

Try changing it in the database in phpmyadmin.

[fmckinnon]

Hey, so, are you saying you had the same issue with the userID, if you try changing it in the vbridge settings, it doesn't work for you either?)

I suppose I could keep using id1 - it's just my personal login as the admin, and I didn't want the articles to post on my userID, because it makes it appear that I wrote the articles ... so I'd created a new userID that was an Admin, that was a generic userID, tied to the site, and not a personal identity, if that makes sense.

Well not really, I didn't try changing. Don't want to either. I will be soon moving to WPMU from WP and then I wouldn't need this mod anyways.
But it works out of the box just as it says in the first post.

Great plugin, one serious problem. I upgraded from your previous release, and BAM all of a sudden my admin account does not exist. All of the Accounts made on vbulletin exist, but NOT my previous admin account. Infact, I had three wordpress admin accounts, all of which did not work.

Upon deleting the Vbbridge.php file, it now works again. Before I re-enable, I would love some input from the developer. I have the users mapped so Administrators on the forum are NOT administrators on Wordpress. I Want to have seperate admin accounts on both.

I dont see why you just dont make the WP admin account on your site a different usergroup on the forum and then map that group to admin on WP.

Thanks - I can easily change the username, etc., in phpmyadmin - but how can I get all my posts from userID one migrated over to the new user, w/o merging them?

Ex: User 1 is twc_admin - it has hundreds of posts and history.
User 2395 is what will BECOME my personal account.

how do I move all posts from user1 to user2395 yet, still keeping user1 available (seems like the merge command would delete user1) ....

Then, after moving all my history and posts from user1 to user2395, I'd rename user1 to be what I want (a more generic, sitewide ID)

Buddy you are simply complicating things. I am gonna repeat the same thing what I said in much more simple words so that you know what im trying to say.

Just do the following steps, you will get what you want.

1. Backup the database. (in case anything goes wrong)
2. Create a new account on forum - This will be your TO BE ADMIN account. Make a new one, forget the existing 2395 or whatever. And add it to the admin usergroup.
3. In phpmyadmin, edit user ID field of "1" to the ID of the one you just created above.
Now you have your personal admin account with which you will post.

Now for the "blog-forum posting" account.
1. Create another new account on the forum - this will be one which will post.
2. In phpmyadmin, edit user ID field of the one you just created above to "1"
3. go to admincp and give it permissions you want.

DONE!

I don't see why not? Give it a try and post the result here.

[kursed]

Completed integration of second install of WP with the vBulletin dbase and it WORKS! WOW!

[kursed]

Okay, another question. Is there a way that I can import user ids / passwords from vbulletin dbase into a wordpress dbase?

If you using this mod, you don't need to do that. Why would you wanna do it anyways?

[kursed]

Because by using this hack, I am unable to import vBulletin users into WP tables. And for what I am planning to do, I need all users of my vBulletin install in WP as authors. That, in order to give them access to more functionality sets that are originally native to WP (such as profiles, etc).

it currently doesnt work that way. This mod is not designed for such use yet. Maybe in the future versions, the mod author might add this much wanted functionality. maybe someone can make the code changes and post here.

[andyfielder]

Is there a way to make it post the excerpt instad of the actual post content.

Or converting HTML images to BB?

Looking a html image tags in the forum doesnt look good!

Yes mate.... just enable it in dashboard > tools > vbridge settings.

as for HTML tags thingy, just enable HTML in all forums or install that mod i posted in the previous links.
:)

[rcadden]

Ugh - finally integrated the users so that scheduled posting works through, but now XMLRPC doesn't work. I searched through the thread and found that it was removed in the February update - any chance of getting that back?

Not only is it dead useful for offline desktop blogging using Windows Live Writer, but it's also the only way that most mobile apps can blog.

Btw, if anyone wants an example of the mod in action, you can hit http://www.symbian-guru.com, the forum is at /forum, but it's all integrated with comments and whatnot. I still need to update the wordpress side so that the Comments look better.

[MorfiusX]

Ok I've made some changes to get post authors to correctly display:

Changed in vbbridge.php

$sql = "select replycount, postuserid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread where threadid = '$results->vb_threadid'";


to

$sql = "select replycount, postuserid, postusername FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread where threadid = '$results->vb_threadid'";


and

$ret = Array('id' => $results->vb_threadid, 'count' => $results2[replycount], 'thread_starter' => $results2[postuserid], 'replies' => $results3, 'vb_parser' => $parser);


to

$ret = Array('id' => $results->vb_threadid, 'count' => $results2[replycount], 'thread_starter' => $results2[postuserid], 'replies' => $results3, 'vb_parser' => $parser, 'postusername' => $results2[postusername]);


Then in the instructions for the Author (wordpress templates) - this was only being called once and resulted in the same author being displayed in all my posts on the main page:

Changed:

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

to

if (function_exists('Comment_Handler')) {

Also to removed the following from the comment code (redundant since a function call is already made by the author portion of the code)

if (function_exists('Comment_Handler')) {

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

global $vbulletin;
}

Everything fully working on LineageJunkies.com (http://www.lineagejunkies.com)

Thanks! This worked for me.

[MorfiusX]

I was having problems with the redirection when logging in to the Wordpress side of things. Looking through the code I found the following in "functions_vbbridge.php":
$login_url = site_url( 'wp-login.php?redirect_to=' . urlencode( $redirect ), 'login' );

However, I could not find where $redirect was being called from. In my case, I believe it was NULL. So, I replaced it with this code:
if ($redirect) {

$login_url = site_url( 'wp-login.php?redirect_to=' . urlencode( $redirect ), 'login' );

} else {

$login_url = site_url( 'wp-login.php?redirect_to=' . urlencode( "/wp-admin/" ), 'login' );

}

[fmckinnon]

OK - thanks for all your help.

I've been using this for about a week now.
Keep in mind: we are NOT using auto-integrate. We have no interest in sharing users ... only in crossposting our articles (WordPress) to our forums, and using the forums for the comment engine.

Earlier, I posted about how regardless of what UserID I have in the vbridge settings, it always posts to the forum as UserID #1. This somehow magically started working correctly all of a sudden - I never did go into phpmyadmin and change userID's around - it just started working.

HOWEVER - now that multiple articles have been published, the actual articles are now hitting the forum with RANDOM userID's ...

I think it has to be a conflict with the Users/Role Manager plugin we're using in WordPress - we have many contributors ... and when they publish their articles, they appear in the forums with random userID's ....

Example: user "SaintLewis" in wordpress adds an article and submits it to the editor. Editor approves and publishes. The article hits the forums in userid: 27? (which is someone else's userID, of course!).

Another user in wordpress publishes an article - and it gets published on the forums as another random ID.

Then, another one publishes, and it goes to the forum with the correct userID as defined in the vbridge settings.

I'd really love for this to work, but I'm on the brink of giving up unless someone has a clue what keeps causing this.

[fmckinnon]

EUREKA:

OK, we've discovered that all of the posts that went into the forums correctly were published directly. All of the ones that went INCORRECTLY were posts that were "scheduled to be published" and were published according to the schedule, automatically.

Seems like in my reading (and re-reading) of this 44+ page topic that i've seen some issues of scheduled posts.

[kent_lkc]

verified by me working like a charm on vB 3.8.3 . . . good job.

Is there anyway, without using the forum for comments, to pull in the avatar from the forum to display next to each persons WP comment?

[Spawnie1978]

I get this error:
Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/palompon/public_html/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 108

Warning: require_once(./includes/class_dm.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/palompon/public_html/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 113

Code in this line:
chdir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . get_option('vbb_VBRPATH'));
Seems like its searching for a table caled vbb_vbrpath but there is no such table in my database!

Problem solved...

Changed line to:
chdir('/home/palompon/public_html/forum');

[binaryg]

I must have made a mistake somewhere along the line...

Anyway, I couldn't log in to my wordpress anymore and tried to use the resetvbbridge.php file but it didn't work and it gave me an error. I opened up the file and saw the error, figured it might help a few people out...

<?php
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-load.php' );

update_option('vbb_VBION, 0);

echo "Vbbridge integration disabled!";

should be

<?php
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-load.php' );

update_option('vbb_VBION', 0);

echo "Vbbridge integration disabled!";

[fmckinnon]

Anyone found success in having scheduled wordpress posts hit the forum with the correct (and not random) userID?

[Spawnie1978]

Edit because of stupidity ;)

You and I are trying to use this the same way, I believe. I'll bet that, if you look into it, you'll notice they aren't random IDs, but rather that they have matching ID #s. I.e. SaintLewis is #24 in wordpress and 27? is #24 in vbulletin - that's what was happening to me, at times.

I've used both integrated and non-integrated, and scheduled posts don't work 100% either way, annoyingly. At this point, honestly, I'm seriously considering just disconnecting the forum from my site and using it as just that - a discussion forum, rather than a commenting engine. Especially with the loss of XMLRPC and the gallery features, it's becoming much more trouble than its worth, and the original dev isn't doing anything on this, either. I realize he's only volunteering, but when I offered $50 to whoever would help me, it was another member, rather than him, which kinda bothered me.

[DNG]

Thanks 4 this great Mod !

[AdjaniB]

I have a little question..
I'm going for two weeks of vacations, so i decided to leave some assigned posts for some determined days but when it post on the forum, will it be on the default subforum/category? It's because I would like it to be post on the correct forum and I put it when I save the post, but I did a test and it showed on the default one..
How can I make it to post on the correct one? plz?

For me, while scheduled posts authors don't always come across correctly, if you choose the desired subcategory before you choose publish/schedule, it has always worked properly. I don't know what happens if you use the quick edit option, though.

[edenx]

How can I show the VB userbar inside WP ?

[fmckinnon]

Has anyone else had trouble with the plugin turning itself OFF, randomly? I've not touched the settings, and on 2 occassions now over the last couple of weeks, we've got to write posts, and noticed the forum menus aren't listed at the bottom of the page, and an attempt to save a draft gives errors ... we go into Settings, and the plugin is turned off ... but I didn't turn it off.

Odd.

Are we assuming the original developer has ceased support - nobody has heard from them in a long time, right?

[Reeve of shinra]

Forgive me is this was already addressed and I missed it but --

If I hid / removed the comments from the wordpress side -- can I have the bridge post a link to the thread it created on the forums?

[belindazhu]

I just noticed I have lost the Visual editor in Wordpress with the plugin enabled, disabling the plugin it comes back. See attached image.
I have tried disabling all my other plugins to find a conflict but couldn't find an issue.

The user list in Wordpress shows up as blank invalid users though the bridge is working fine using a vb admin. Is this OK?

Thanks.


I met the same problem with you, the visual editor couldn't show well.
My version is 3.8.3.

So, how you resoved it?

[belindazhu]

That was the same deal with my installation.Another user did report the same issue.
I think that wouldn't be a coincidence.

Oops - I also forgot to mention that on my Wordpress WYSIWYG editor, I've lost the ability to flip between Visual and HTML. All of the other editor docks that are typically rolled up are expanded as well... anyone else seeing this?

I have silimar issues witht the visual editor.

Also I had to deactivate the plugin - like it say in the readme file! - because when I did activate the plugin the pages went blank.

This time I can not active it either because as soon as I activate it it happens again!

I searched for tables in the database found one in the user table but it was helpless....

I was be able to bridge wordpress with vbulletin but there are some problems:

1. When I turn the automatic integration on, the Visual Editor ( WSIWYG ) disappear! Altought before everything was fine...

2. I'm using a translated version of Wordpress ( Turkish Language ) and some of the special character like ( ş,ğ,?,ı ) are not shown properly.

3.Does not the bridge work with productive websites which had post, users, comments, categories before ?

For example : 500 post, 300 comments , 2000 users, 20 categories

When I try to activate wordpress with a productive website the pages goes blank. Netiher the admin panel is reacheable nor other pages...

Does it always have to be a clean installation ?

So many questions have been posted but the plugins author has not shown up yet!

I hope that he will give us feedback with all the issues that we reported volunteerly...

By the way everyone, I am basically working on this today/tonight on my day off. Here is what I have fixed so far (have NOT uploaded yet):

Fixed issue where rich text editor was not being displayed
Fixed issue where permalinks were not working properly
Fixed issue where paragraphs where not converting
Added reset script so admin can turn off integration if locked out
Made the user interface a bit more understandable, meaning, your off to the VB admincp when adding/editing/viewing usersAs for those of you out there who already have a substantial WP userbase and want to convert them to VB. That is not what this plugin does, sorry.


No, nonononononono,
nonono,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still this problem.
Mine is 2.8 and 3.8.3
What is wrong????????????????
Reply me pls.

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read() on a non-object in /home/forumzed/public_html/portal/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 475

[belindazhu]

oh, this hack is tooooooooooo bad.. so many problems and fatal error met when installing.
Cost my too much time.

[creativepart]

I'm using this Mod with WP 2.8 (and I did the upgrade with this mod and integration turned on). It worked perfectly at install -- mostly. So, those of you getting install problems I can only assume are not correctly following the directions.

There are many implications to this mod that are difficult to anticipate until you start using it in testing.

My only continuing problem is the "Author" problem. WP expects the Admin account to be #1. But, my VB Admin account is userID=3 and there is no userID=1 in my vB. So, much of the time the "Author" is shown as blank. Well, it shows blank, but it actually has userID=1 in the post, but since there is no #1 it is blank.

If I click on Publish in the QuickEdit section of WP. It will put my correct user ID on my posts. However, if someone else has written the post it also changes the author to me when I publish the post. That's not good. It shows me as the author of everything.

I gave up on trying to get Avatars and such from VB into posts here. I never could get that to work.

I've had some problems with the media upload, but by using the browser upload instead of the Flash upload all is fine.

When setting it up I knew I wouldn't be using the post back to VB option, but I still set it up to do that as per the install instructions and then I just turned that feature off after I was sure it was working.

I posted to let folks know that it does work. And works pretty well. So, keep working on it. It would be great if someone adopted this mod, and took over working on it for the future. WP is too important to VB at this point and time and the two need to REALLY work together.

[rcadden]

I'm to the point where I'm going to just disconnect the forum and blog, almost. Here's my current issues:

1. As mentioned above, whoever live-publishes a post, that person shows as the author (in vBulletin only), not the true author. I have 3 writers, only 2 of which can publish posts, so this is a problem.
2. Scheduled posts now correctly show the author, sort of. When viewing the thread in the forum, it shows MainPage (or whatever I have in the first two setting fields), and registers as a guest. However, when you open the thread, it shows the correct author as the first post. Since I have my vBulletin set so that guests cannot start threads (encourages registration and minimizes spam), this is a major problem.
3. The forum/subforum selection box isn't fully integrated into the Wordpress post creation page, which means it's difficult to make mobile-friendly. Not a big deal to most of you, likely, but a major deal to me.
4. The forum/subforum selection box doesn't save my selection. I.e. if an author chooses a subforum, and then my editor opens the post, that selection is lost, and the editor has to remember to reset it.
5. Unapproved comments show up on the Wordpress site when you've got your comments integrated.
6. With auto-integrate of users turned on, XMLRPC doesn't work, which is again a major ordeal for me.

I really wanted to use vBulletin as my comment engine, as it seems to offer everything I wanted for my community. However, this mod is a royal pain to deal with, and there's virtually zero support for it. I would be willing to donate $50-100 again, but only if *all* of these issues are fixed. I would bet that more people would donate, too, so that we could offer *someone* some real reimbursement.

At this point, I'm investigating converting my forum from vBulletin to phpBB, since that platform has multiple wordpress bridges, both of which are actually updated. That just sucks cause I bought a lifetime license for vBulletin, thinking it was the best. Either that, or I'll just run the forum as a standalone 'feature' of my site, and go back to using Wordpress' built-in comment system. Ugh.

[creativepart]

At this point, I'm investigating converting my forum from vBulletin to phpBB, since that platform has multiple wordpress bridges, both of which are actually updated.

As someone that moved from PHPBB to VB I don't think I'd ever do that just for the CMS in Wordpress. But that was a few years ago and maybe it's different now. Your mileage may vary.

[rcadden]

As someone that moved from PHPBB to VB I don't think I'd ever do that just for the CMS in Wordpress. But that was a few years ago and maybe it's different now. Your mileage may vary.

Well, my site started as Wordpress, and I only just added vBulletin to act as a more community-friendly comments engine, so I realize I'm backwards from most folks here. I have ~2 years of content in Wordpress, so moving the ~7 months worth of vBulletin to a different platform is likely easier than moving the Wordpress over, lol.

[creativepart]

I have ~2 years of content in Wordpress, so moving the ~7 months worth of vBulletin to a different platform is likely easier than moving the Wordpress over, lol.

It's not the difficultly of moving, its the lack of features and available addons that made PHPBB so inferior to VB.

[rcadden]

In any case, I'm extremely interested in seeing this mod updated, rather than having to move stuff around - it's *so* close to working beautifully, but just needs to be updated is all.

[creativepart]

I'm 100% behind you on that. Perhaps someone will step forward and ask the original author to all them to take over. The Author hasn't posted on dot org for a few months and haven't even logged on for the past month (at this writing).

He seems to have abandoned this mod.

[creativepart]

I couldn't get the Author links working the way the Mod Author laid it out in his Readme. But, using his concept I found a way to change the Author links to link to their VB Profile, but it only applies to users that use VBSEO to rewrite member profile links to: username.html.

Here's what I did:

NOTE: since I'm running VBSEO this method applies to VBSEO users. VBSEO rewrites the member profile links on the fly. So instead of www.yourdomain/forum/members.php?u=1075 being a link to a member's profile VBSEO changes it to: www.yourdoamin/forum/members/username.html.

So, here's what I did. First I went to the various post and page php pages in my WP Style and changed the coding that said:

<p>Posted by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> on

I changed it to:

<p>Posted by <a href='http://www.mydomain.com/forum/members/<?php the_author(); ?>.html'> <?php the_author(); ?></a> on

See the original coding in the template called "the_author_posts_link" and I've changed that to "the_author" which gives you the author's username from VB. Then you can see in my new code above that I use the "the_author" php to insert the username into the manually coded link.

If you're not using VBSEO, you'll need to find a way make the Mod Author's instructions work to pick up the member number and use that to create a userID generated link. I just couldn't get his instructions to work for me.

Again, I realize this shouldn't be necessary to do this way, but hey, it works. So I thought I'd pass it on.

Alternatively, if you can't get this to work -- a fall back workaround idea is to change "the_author_post_link" to "the_author" and you'll keep the username but lose the broken link.

I keep reading about this error but I don't have it. I don't have a user # 1 in vb either so far as I know and if I do, its deff not an admin account.

When I log in as my vb-user account (admin btw) it shows up fine on the forums.

If I log in as the wordpress admin and make a post, it shows up as my "designated alternate" in the forum. I enabled that in the WP plugin.

Vbridge Settings
VB User ID: 2857
VB Username: Slyph

Can you help please.

[nando99]

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.

So that definitely fixed it but it keeps happening... Is it ok to just leave the fix in?

Big Thanks Jafo for the great great plugin !!!

OK, I saw lot's of posts asking for login/logout/avatar etc for wordpress and I needed the same and couldn't find one and so I coded one with my limited php knowledge here it is for you guys...

Credits:
Basically, this is a simpler version of this plugin:
Name: Deluxe vB User login and access control on non vB pages
URL: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=173698

I do not wish to take any credits from the original author - Billspaintball and all credits go to Billspaintball.

Code:

<div>
<?php
global $vbulletin,$vbphrase,$pmbox,$reply,$db;

$forumurl = get_option('vbb_VBURL');//forumurl should not have a trailing slash e.g. http://www.mysite.com/forum

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) { ?>

} ?>
</div>


Installation:
Just copy-paste that code into your template where you would like to display the login/logout/register box. Style it as per your theme.
Note: The forumurl which you configured while installing vbbridge should not have a trailing slash e.g. http://www.mysite.com/forum.In case it does, then remove / from the code after each $forumurl occurence.

Screenshot:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=102211&stc=1&d=1248020788

To Do:
Presently after logout, it redirects to the forum logout screen. It would be nice to redirect the user back to the same page.

Other:
You can check the original plugin and also add some more advanced features to the login box e.g. new posts since last login.

[undeadloktar]

For those of you getting the login blank page for Wordpress go to VB Options on your board and change the cookie setting to / has to be / for it to work. Pulled my hair out over the issue and now it works.

Thanks for this plugin. I'm looking to integrate my blog and forum and hopefully this will help me do so.

That's what happens. Mine the author shows correctly in draft form, but when I publish it then the Author changes. Also, when I edit someone else's post it changes the author as well.

The only way I've found around is to manually change it in the WP database after the fact.

Obviously, not a good work around.

anyone know why images postesd in WP dont trasnlate properly over to the forums

Did you tried amjad's fix where he told to enable html in your vbulletin forum where the WP posts are being copied ?

[AustinKalb]

Help - not working.

Here's what I did.

1) put functions_vbbridge.php, functions_wysiwyg2.php, and vbbridge.php into the wp-contents/plugins directory.
2) set vb user id and vb user name to guest, forum ID to Comments, forum to http://wpvbtest.dnsalias.com/forums, relative path to /forums, plugin on, utf-8 yes, auto-integrate no, post articles to forum yes, excerpt forum post no.
3) created user guest in vb, created forum Comments
4) did not map any user groups in Users vbridge settings
5) posted on wordpress - found nothing in comments forum
6) created and logged on with new username in vb, went to wordpress page, tried to log in with same credentials, nothing. checked wp - user not there.

Is this correct? I expected the post to show up in vb, and the user to show up in wp. Neithet happened. No errors anywhere that I could see.

Thanks!
Austin

So i'm getting the blank page.... but i'm not sure what you're saying to do...

[mcasteel]

In the install instructions after activating the product in the Wordpress Plugin section, it says YOU MUST go to the options page before you do anything else. Should this Option Page be listed under the Installed plugins? I'm having trouble finding the Option Page Link. I am using Wordpress 2.8.2. Do I need to use an older WP version? Thanks.

You'll have two VB Settings to setup. The main one is under "Settings" and the other is under "Users".

But the one you're looking for during the set up is under Settings section of the WP Admin.

[creativepart]

OK, I saw lot's of posts asking for login/logout/avatar etc for wordpress and I needed the same and couldn't find one and so I coded one with my limited php knowledge here it is for you guys...


Wicked80 this is great! But I can't get the Avatar to show up. I found a problem with the alt text in the avatar coding and fixed that -- but I cannot get the avatars to show up with the current coding you have.

I looked at the mod that you used to create this coding and found the following known bug: Will not display Avatars correctly if they are kept in the file system (database avatars are fine)

I'm guessing this is why avatars doesn't show when I use this. All the rest of the items in this addition work great, however.

I found this fix in the mod you used https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1503004&postcount=27 But I haven't been able to make this work.

Can you help with this?
PS. I'm using a PHP Widget that lets you put PHP code in a widget just like you can put HTML in a Text widget. It's called Samisaren PHP Widget. This works great for inserting it into a sidebar without having to hard code the template.

[Suiko Jin]

I am trying to use the resetvbbridge.php to reset everything but it isn't working. I uploaded my wordpress directly into the public_html, but when I try to activate the resetvbbridge.php file it gives me this error.

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@website.net and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any ideas?

And additionally I am doing this because after installing, whenever I try to login to my Wordpress admin it says "You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page."

Hi

I have a custom theme in my WP-installation called ProPhoto2.
In this theme the comments.php that should be edited according to the readme.txt looks nothing like an original theme, and I therefore beg for your help to identify the parts that need to replaced, and with what, to have commenting in VB.

I have enclosed MY comments.php and also the readme.txt for anyone who wants to give it a try.

Thanks in advance!

Hi All!

I have tried out this mod, and it's awesome in many ways!

I didn't turn on the full integration since I didn't see any use for it, since the only thing I actually want is to make it possible for the readers of my blog to discuss selected objects in the forum. This meaning, I actually don't NEED to re-direct all comments to forum, but want to give the readers an option to discuss subjects I chose to publish in the forum.

This mod provides ALL that, in a very neat way, EXCEPT the possibility to add a small link in the bottom of every affected post - saying something like the subject, and redirecting the user to my forum.

Anyone have an idea on how to acomplish that?

/Patrick

[SABRSox]

This mod still has a userid issue. Allow me to explain it as clearly as possible, as there has been no good explanation of how to fix this issue.

I installed a vBulletin installation first, and users joined. I then added a wordpress install, and after installing everything correctly, mapped users and turned on auto-integrate.

Some time after that, there were userid issues.

I, "SABRSox" (with ID #1 on vB, and ID #2 on Wordpress [as "admin" is ID #1 on wordpress]) write a story on the blog and publish it.

When I go on to my blog, the post shows up as having been written by the guy who has ID #2 ("Zoso") on vB. Now, that's the only place there's a problem. On vB, it shows up as "SABRSox" having written the article. And when I go to edit the post in wordpress, the correct author ("SABRSox") shows up.

I'm including screen grabs so we can finally have a real discussion about this issue. It seems like there's probably a simple fix, I'm just at a loss to where it's at.

[Geek Specialtie]

I'm having a problem with comment integration.
I was using the Arthemia Wordpress theme with vbridge and everything worked great.
I changed my theme to Arthemia Premium and I can't get the comments to work.
When I change the code it breaks the layout and no comments appear.

You can see it working here.
http://www.remodelcrazy.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=19
http://www.remodelcrazy.com/

Here is my comments file for the theme, if anybody could help me with would be great.

[Geek Specialtie]

I found the difference that is breaking the layout.
A missing closing div -
So I added it (tried many locations) it fixes the layout but the comments don't work.
It says #of comments, but doesn't display them, displays 'Comments are closed.'
I can post a comment, it gets posted in wordpress comments the comment count increases but still doesn't display.

Here is the output from the standard comments page and one with the vbridge code inserted.
Hopefully this and my first post somebody can figure this out. I'm going in circles.

[Taco John]

Wow. I think I hosed my site.

I went through every step meticulously, and got my WP to post to my VB. The test post worked. I then mapped my user groups. Everything was ticking along fine. I turned on Auto-Integration. So far so good. Then I logged out of my admin account and into my vBulletin test account, and posted a test post in an article. It worked. The post showed up in Wordpress, though not in vBulletin. No big deal though, since I simply want my vBulletin users to be able to use the Wordpress front page. So I thought I'd see what happens when I click "log-out."

The screen went white. Nothing there.

I went to my Wordpress Admin panel, and clicked reload. The screen there went white too.

Hmmm... I deleted both functions.php files and then reloaded them and it restored the site. Basically, it appears that if I log out of wordpress, I crash the entire site? Or is it just a local cache thing?

Any insights?

[FitgirlWorld]

same thing just happened to me

now what? I cant even get into wordpress

[Martyn1983]

It's a shame this mod has so many issues.

I cant turn comments off. If I could, I'd quite happily leave it running, as most of my issues seem to centre round the comments. But no amount of disabling will remove them. Which is a real shame!

Might think about doing the same as other posters, removing it til it's stable

[Geek Specialtie]

The screen went white. Nothing there.

I've had this happen. Seems to be it doesn't like some page variables. When this happens look at the address in the address bar, if it's not something like yourdomain.com/wp-admin then type that in you should be right back to the dashboard. That worked for me.

[Blumy]

Whenever I attempt a test post before I turn the auto-integration on I keep getting this error

As another possible option, are there any other blog bridges or standalone blogs that can tie in with VB?

I like the idea of VBlogs, but its paid for software :(

Exactly right. You can't have it like that.

No, but it's not the mods fault. AFAIK, the hack relies on cookies to be read by both bits of software, cookies don't transfer between domain names, so it will never happen.

Jafo232, vBulletin users are not logged in when visiting the WordPress page ( which I use as homepage ). I did not come across any errors when installing. The WP to vBulletin test post worked although it was posted under my username instead of the user "comments" ( which doesn't exist ). I did the user mapping. Here are my vBBridge settings.

VB Username: comments
VB Forum ID: 9

If by subforums you mean, sub DOMAINS, then it is a cookie issue. Basically the cookie needs to be available to the domain.

As for everyone else, I wont be developing this plugin again for probably another month.

[Arkidas]

Can I hire you to install it for me?

[AustinKalb]

I am using Vbulletin Blog with vBulletin and WordPress (there is a method to my madness, I assure you).

I was simply posting wordpress blog posts to my forum, no user sharing or comment engine stuff.

I had to enable hooks for VBlog to work, then I get a blank screen on Wordpress home.

I never did turn on "Integration".

Ideas?

Thanks

Recently while configuring vbbridge4.01.13 on my wordpress 2.8.2 i got errror

Error i got after clicking Vbridge User Settings link :"Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read() on a non-object in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\"server path"\wp-content\plugins\vbbridge.php on line 475"

at line 475 code is : " $fs = $vbulletin->db->query_read($sql); "

I remain stuck here for atleast 3 days then i install new new blog and reconfigured it again and found that in Vbbridge settings i havn't turned on the plugin.

This time i found that while posting when i click on Upload/Insert to upload image and insert it in the blog post giving error

"Are you sure you want to do this?

Please try again."

Then i deactivate the the plugin and found it working . Dont know is the plugin compatibility problem of the plugin or what?

I also have selected " Turn Auto-Integrate On:" to NO as turning it on it logged me out of the wordpress dashboard.

I am using
wordpress 2.8.2
vbulletin 3.8.2
vbbridge vbbridge4.01.13

I have this software installed and I can upload with flash fine. 99% of the time flash uploads are blocked by mod_security in apache.

Yep the flash upload quit working for me too when I activated the vbridge.

I would love to use this mod, but for some reason it seriously impacts my bloggers ability to post images in the blog. I appreciate the effort, but it looks like the development on this one is arrested at this point, and it's not even a stable mod.

Good luck to everyone. Hope to hear noise on this one again someday.

*clicking uninstall*

[peleh]

The only problem that still bugs me is about "collaborators and authors"

Let me explain, when a collaborator submit some "news" post, the editor sees it, modifies it, and them, when he click "Post", the wordpress side works correctly, showing the collaborator name as the real author, but, in vbulletin side, it shows the editor's name.

Now, another thing. Those of you that want an easy way to login/logout from the Wordpress side, just use this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sidebar-login/ , works pretty well with vbridge.

[GoodOmens]

What is the SEO impact of cross posting?

How can I minimize the effect? Using "nofollow" on the links to comment?

[Geek Specialtie]

You can use the rel="canonical" tag. All the major search engines aknowledged they are supporting this.
There are Wordpress plugins for this and some themes have the function built in.

same problem here :(

[SaTaNaSsO]

just installed in a 2.8.4 wp and 3.8.4 vbulletin...
works fine but i have a little question:

i created before the bridging 3 users in wp: 1#admin 2#supermoderator 3# moderator, and they were, admin, editor and author...
when i installed the plugin, these users became the user with the same id on vbulletin, so the articoles' author became the id 1 and 2 of the vbulletin, that was wrong for my site's author, so i tried to modify the articole on the admicp of wordpress, but when i have to choose the author, it appears only the first 3 user (admin supermod and mod) that i created before the bridging, so i cannot choose other authors...

any suggestion?

actually i don't show post author, but i'd like to...
:erm:

edit:
i found a little bug, when i try to change a template page on wordpress the link update give me an error:

Warning: require_once(DIR/includes/functions_newpost.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.hobbikat/scooter_project/scooter-project.net/forum/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php on line 18

something goes wrong?

now it's ok but the "author" problem is a bit boring...

Yeah, the author problem is incredibly annoying, and needs a fix.
