Complete Wordpress/Vbulletin Bridge - Share Users And Postings

[creativepart]

Here's how I fixed the author problem.

Every time I give one of my VB users "author' status, I turn off integration and create a user in the old WP user system with the same username as the username he has in VB. Then I turn integration back on. From that point on when that user creates a post the correct username shows up. And, at that point that username is on the author list too. So, I can assign his name to any post that needs it. However, I haven't needed to fix it once.

So far it's working great.

Does anyone know how you could grab the latest discussions on the forum and add them to a widget on Wordpress?

[creativepart]

Sure simple, just use RSS.

I do it on my WP + VB setup and it works great.

www.tdpri.com you'll see the recent posts in the tan box on the right.

In the comments, i'm using vbulletin for them but sometimes i see first the post on the wordpress and then go to vbulletin for the answer, but I would like to make a quote and I can't do it directly from the wordpress page, is there a way to do that?

[krike]

I just decided to reinstall it (used to make it work on my other site).

but when I activate the plugin I get a white page, and I can't access anything anymore. Even the index page gives me a white page till I delete the plugin file.

[ashley76]

Is there a way to just replace the whole comment section with the forum? For instance instead of showing the comment section underneath it, it just shows a mini version of your forum (just the posts parts) with all the forum buttons (post reply, quick reply, etc.)...

[histrung]

I installed, test post, worked correctly. Turned bridge on and when I tried to access the wordpress admin account it told me I don't have access privileges. So I renamed the plug in via FTP, still no access, I deleted the plug in, still not access!

I cannot access my wordpress admin account. How do I gain access???

HELP!

hi

i have some problems with the vbBridge

1) when i try to add an image when making an article instead of letting me add my images an videos wordpress shows me thi message "are u shure u wanna do that?? retry".
this problem occurs only when i activate the vbBridge plugin otherwise wordpress works fine.

2) when i post an article on wordpress it formats the text right but the related open thread opened in the vbulletin forum shows me every html tag used by wordpress (i mean it seams to not recognized them ad tag so it writes <p>Text</p> and so on......)

can you help me solve these problems?

[cs_angel]

I also have a Problem with the bridge since yesterday.

First it Works finde. I didn't have a problem since yesterday. I did nothig before, I only want to edit a article. But when I want to edit, wordpress show me a white page. Only Quick Edit works. When I turn the plugin off, then I can edit normal.

All other section (like links, to create a article) works fine. Only the edit function und the options-permalink.php doesn't work. Has anyone an idea how I can fix this?

I just installed this plugin and I'm having the same issue. My posts won't go to the forum, I've triple checked the settings and played with various configurations in the vbridge settings menu to no avail...

Just to clarify, I should have vB and WP on separate databases within the domain correct?
vB is on DB_01 and WP is on DB_02

[Raug]

This is how I make correct authors show up, however I only have 2 or so people posting anything that displays so it might not be ideal.

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


and it should make the correct name show up with a link to their profile. I don't recall if I changed anything in the bridge files themselves, but I copied portions of the comment code and applied it elsewhere. Just paste this code whever you want the author's (thread starter's) name to show up.

I just completely skipped the comment page altogether and make any links pointing towards comments to direct to

http://mysite.com/showthread.php?t=######&goto=newpost

which I've also modified to show the number of replies to the thread as if they were comments.

[cs_angel]

Just to clarify, I should have vB and WP on separate databases within the domain correct?
vB is on DB_01 and WP is on DB_02

I don't know... I use both on the same database. And this works. Perhaps you test it on the same database. When you check the settings it should work. So test it when both (vb and wp) are on the same database.

sorry is my fault, but what are

Hello. I use WP → VB Bridge at casavladi.ru (http://www.casavladi.ru). (Excuse me, only russian language).

Wordpress and vBulletin versions is latest: WP 2.8.4 & VB 3.8.4. Complete vBridge Plugin has version 4.01.13.

I have a problem: I have a guestbook at my site. It looks like WP Page with hundreds of comments, sorted alfabetically. I use "Paged Coments" plugin for paging guestbook pages. (homepage of plugin here (http://www.keyvan.net/code/paged-comments/)).

When I try to activate this paging plugin, I see this error:


Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in **skipped***/html/wp-includes/general-template.php on line 32

Warning: array_slice() [function.array-slice]: The first argument should be an array in ***skipped***/html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 339


How I can use pages in my guestbook wordpress comments?

Thank you for great plugin.

[mmalaney]

When making my test post I get the following error.

yet this is my exact location, any ideas?

I'm just starting to research this mod as I'm about done with a WP install as my 'home' page. Any tips for a newbie trying to tackle 52 pages of info? :)

[Bounce]

no update on the problems users are having with white pages/ plugin no working then ?

Interestingly the old hack works with wp2.84 and vb 3.8.4 (well does for me)

[DetroitYES]

I don't know... I use both on the same database. And this works. Perhaps you test it on the same database. When you check the settings it should work. So test it when both (vb and wp) are on the same database.

greetz cs_angel


Thank you, this seemed to solved the problem...

Also, how are is everyone dealing with the layouts/themes in wordpress? Are you pulling from the vBulletin styles for overall consistency? Or do you just update the wordpress templates and the vbulletin templates individually whenever you need to change something?

[creativepart]

I update each separately. I don't change the Header and Footer all that often. Since my WP theme is fixed and my VB theme is fluid I don't see any way to combine the two automatically.

[DetroitYES]

okay, more trouble shooting, I setup vbridge, and got a successful test post.

Now, when i try to login to wordpress from wp/index.php , it directs me to the user CP of the account I login as (in vbulletin)... I cannot get to the back end of wordpress anymore, is something wrong?

How do i make posts to the blog?

I'm getting: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

[DetroitYES]

I installed, test post, worked correctly. Turned bridge on and when I tried to access the wordpress admin account it told me I don't have access privileges. So I renamed the plug in via FTP, still no access, I deleted the plug in, still not access!

I cannot access my wordpress admin account. How do I gain access???

HELP!

This is the problem I'm having too...


Edit:

I just realized that I skipped the crucial step of assigning vb usergroups to wp usergroups. I'm almost certian that is what's causing the problem...

Edit 2:

I've been uploading/calling/deleting resetvbbridge.php in the root and various other sections of the wp folder, but I still can't login to my wordpress admin... suggestions?

What is the best way to uninstall/reinstall wordpress if i cannot access admin? If I delete all relevant files and reinstall fresh ones, will this clutter up my database? Ideally, I could reinstall without deleting the database (which would force me to reinstall vB)... I'm still in development thankfully, so I won't loose any real data regardless of what I do.

[DetroitYES]

Okay, problem solved. First, I went into mySQL database and dropped any tables with the wp prefix (i.e. wp-comments). Once those were cleared, I deleted the wordpress directory from the domain, re-uploaded, and reinstalled. Then added vbbridge. Make sure you map your users in the wordpress user settings before turning auto integrate on or it won't work... At the very least you need to map admin to admin so you can get into the wordpress admin cp and map other users later...

[DetroitYES]

Another note, as far as I can tell, your wordpress directory cannot be within the vBulletin directory for this mod to work. I was hoping to install wordpress under the vBulletin directory so that I could use some of my vBulletin templates in wordpress, no luck.

I tried altering the relative forum path in vbbridge settings to the following

../

../../mb

but unless i have it set as /mb i get an error when i go to the wp-admin dashboard that says:

cannot include /home/virtual/site63/fst/var/www/html/mb/wp/wp-admin/global.php. You should check your path! Turning Plugin Off

I guess this idea is a lost cause... WP works fine when installed in the VB directory, but vbbridge won't post the blog entries to the forum, I didn't bother turning the 'auto intergrate users' setting to on...

[jfu2465]

Hello,

I installed the plugin and it runs goot. But I have one problem:

The templat-Tags wp_list_authors or list_author don't work.

Is this a problem of the plugin or have I made a mistake?

What can I do?

Thanks
Joachim

[Fallback]

Im having the same issue with incorrect authors showing up on the wordpress blog. I switched from the old version of this plugin after recently upgrading the wordpress and vb versions. Not sure if that helps but im hoping for a fix to this author issue so I can re-enable this plugin.

[ashley76]

If only this would do the same as what this guy is using

[JBMoney]

Can someone tell me exactly what fields this adds to the WP database so I can manually remove them, and then try to reinstall?

That reset file doesn't help out so well. I removed the files so I can get back into my admin, ran the reset, but re-uploading the files just locks me out again. Probably because of the fields in [wp_options] but I don't want to make guesses.

[dotted1337]

This is how I make correct authors show up, however I only have 2 or so people posting anything that displays so it might not be ideal.

<?php
if ($vbridge[id] > 0) {

<a href="<?php echo get_option('vbb_VBURL') ?>/members.php?u=<?php echo $vbridge['thread_starter'] ?>/"><?php echo strval($vbridge['postusername']) ?></a>

Something you could share?

I have used this and it works. :)

The only thing left I guess is the smileys are not working in WP.

how do i even edit my: myblog.wordpress.com ?

like if i have a premium theme, how can i add it onto wordpresS? please help
if some1 can do it for me id be willing to pay :D not too much tho!

[XManuX]

Also, while I have you here, is there any way to call the user's Avatar and User ID in WP? I would love to link to user profile pages within WP comments.

Hello,

take a look at my previous answer about avatar & vBbridge here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1663540#post1663540).

Of course it was for a former version of the bridge and some modifications have to be made to make it work, for example the query to look for into vbbridge.php is now :

$sql = "select * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post where threadid = '$results->vb_threadid' order by dateline";

Just wondering does this work well. All i want is to have people login the front homepage and it logs into the forum also. I do not care about commenting or anything ..just login the front page and also shows logged in forum. Please let me know results. i have read most of it and see there are some examples.

[poromenos]

does this work with wordpress 2.8.x ?

[amjadz4]

Hi everyone! I am back for providing support to users of this mod. Please post your questions.
For starters, Yes this mod works on the latest versions: vbulletin 3.8.4 and wordpress 2.8.4

:)

[Fallback]

How can we fix the isssue where this plugin changes the authors of wordpress posts? For example in my wordpress blog (v.2.8.4) when I turn auto integration "ON" the wordpress post authors are changed to vb users that were not set in wordpress as the actual post authors.

[cammot]

I am stuck completing the installation process. I am using vB 3.8 and Wordpress 2.8.4. I installed Wordpress in a sub-directory on the same domain where my vB is installed. I have the Wordpress up running fine and the vbridge plugin activated in wordpress. I seem to be stuck on the vbridge settings in wordpress, because I cannot successfully do a test post. I get the following message before the test post:

"cannot include /home/mydomainurl/wordpress/wp-admin/global.php. You should check your path! Turning Plugin Off"

I not sure if I am doing the path correctly. but here are the url to my vB forums:

http://mydomain/forums.php

The specific url to the actual forum where I want the posts dropped is:

http://mydomain/forumdisplay.php?f=2

I am not sure what is meant by FORUM ID from this information !. Is it the actual name of the forum or a number from the url ?. If I can sort this part out, I might make some progress with the install completion.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
cammot

[cammot]

I have no replies to my request for help from last night. If anyone can please offer any assistance, would be most grateful. Also, an additional point - I do not see a global.php file in the directory referenced in my previous message and wondering if that might be the issue !. There was no global.php files in the installation files and wondering why and how it might be referencing this file !. I have also not done anything yet on the vB CP.

Please help.

Does anyone have a fix for this? Best suggestion I've seen is to use the old plugin. Haven't tried that yet myself, but it does say it's not to be used with current software versions.

Edit: Nevermind. I banged on the monitor and wiggled the cables and now it works. Not sure what I did to 'fix' it.

Well if you understand the code you can make out why its saying closed. Just removed the following code and that line wont show.

delete everything from: (line 70)
<?php if ( have_comments() and ($vbridge[id] == '')) : ?>

to: (line 141)
</form>

including the </div>

and then..post some replies to that post which got posted in the forum from wordpress. you will see the comments in wordpress too.

Hi I'm currently working on installing and troubleshooting. This thing is absolutely briliant! Thank you for the mod. One question is, with all the work that you've gone through to get this to work, how come the avatars are not pulled from the vBulletin data? Isn't this a pretty easy step considering it's pulling everything else? The user comments are great, but it's a bit bland when there's a default Black and White photo for all my users :D

[jhightman]

if anyone has issues resetting using the 'resetvbbridge.php' file... you need to edit the file and add a ' on line 4 just inside the ")"

Is there any possible way at all to get this to work with w/ multiple domains on the same server as the primary vb database??

Has anyone had problems with scheduled posts getting attributed incorrectly within the forum?

I had a scheduled post go up, everything looked fine from forumdisplay, but when I clicked on the thread (showthread.php), it appeared as posted by a completely different user.

There are serious issues with the integration function as well. It seems as though the plugin assumes that wp userids = vb userids, so posts on the wordpress side get attributed to the wrong user. This is independent of the post-scheduling problem. I tried disabling the plugin, creating authors with the names I wanted to display (so they'd show as possible authors in the post edit dialog), but these names still get attributed to different users once the plugin is activated again.

I could edit the wp user db to make the userids match, but what a PITA.

Check your paths in the vbridge settings. Or, manually hardcode the link in the plugin file.

Uninstall it completely from your DB and re install, step by step. Should work perfectly.

The wordpress user database is not used when this plugin is active. So make sure you have all your wordpress users registered in vbulletin.

help is greatly greatly appreciated, if the author of this mod's fee isn't a rip off I would be willing to pay him to set it up properly for me.

Thanks to anyone who can offer some help :)

Im getting these weird problems

ive tried everything, ^ this is when i try to reset it.

The wordpress user database is not used when this plugin is active. So make sure you have all your wordpress users registered in vbulletin.

Is this what passes for "support" for a plugin? //Edit: Amajadz, I'm sorry. I thought you were the guy writing the plug-in. My apologies. The rest, regarding the bugs and installing this POS at your own risk still apply. //

I post several bugs, including one that turns out to be a typo on the part of the coder, and your reply is "well, it should work". Yes, it should. But it doesn't. Hence the posting of the questions and the waiting for the replies.

Whenever I get some free time, I'll have to go through the code and rewrite it.

This is a beta plugin, if that. Install at your own risk.

[820Media]

my setup is this:

Home page (wordpress 2.8) http://jetgaming.org

forums: http://forums.jetgaming.org

and its displayin this at the top:

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/jethqnet/public_html/jetgaming.org/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 40


anyway to fix it?

[Fallback]

There are serious issues with the integration function as well. It seems as though the plugin assumes that wp userids = vb userids, so posts on the wordpress side get attributed to the wrong user. This is independent of the post-scheduling problem. I tried disabling the plugin, creating authors with the names I wanted to display (so they'd show as possible authors in the post edit dialog), but these names still get attributed to different users once the plugin is activated again.



I have had the exact same issue with this plugin but my post about this was never acknowledged. I have deactivated this until a fix or updated version that works correctly is posted.

[amjadz4]

I get this :

and just cannot get it to post to vbulletin or show posts from vbulletin in wordpress.... followed the instructions to the letter.

Do not use the reset file. It does not work. You have to manually delete all the files and delete the tables from the DB. Check the earlier posts, I have posted the method.

You will need to hard code the link to forums in the plugin file. Alternatively re install it following every word in the read me. Also check your paths while setting up the plugin.

The plugin has this limitation. So, yes you need to wait for an update.

Check the first post, the mod post. The mod author has posted the way to do this, just under the limitations heading.

Hey, I'm getting the same problem as a few others after installing the plugin:

Any help would be very appreciated.

[deepmartini]

Can someone please invent a simple plugin for wordpress that passes the registration information from wordpress over to vbulletin? That way we can use membership plugins like wishlist member and wordpress tools and widgets and not have to have people register via vbulletin then get pushed back to wordpress on the homepage. Anyone know a simple way to use wordpress and vbulletin effectively?

where is comments.php?

[Delilahs]

When I try to post a test post, I get an error message saying.

You tried to access the address http://www.delilahs.co.uk/*****/wp-admin/post.php, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.

I know the site is online and working, but it is sending the test post to 'draft' and I cannot get it to post to my forum.

any ideas?

[YHT]

I am wondering that if you post in a forum for example, Site News. It shows in the WP but when you click it can that link send you to the post? Also the comments can it do the same to, click on the comments and it sends you to the post?

Yes you can. It takes a little of extra custom tweaking. PM me and you can use my service!

Sorry to be a pain.

This is my comments.php file, can someone insert the changes for me as it doesnt seem to be functioning 100% when i do it.

It would be very much appreciated.

This is for ProSense (hopefully google will pick this up) as many people mite need help with WP VB Bridge on prosense

Andy

check PM.

I'm a bit confused about the updates to comments.php so if I could grab any Secret Squirrel knowledge from that PM, I'd appreciate it. ;)

[amjadz4]

I just sent him the modified comments.php as required by the mod. Check the readme file and just add those lines of code where it is asking to and replace 2 other lines as written in the readme. Then you are good to go!

Hello,

I'm using the bridge plugin on a 2.8.3 version of Wordpress. Is it safe to upgrade to 2.8.4 or will the bridge quit working if I do? Any input would be appreciated.

Also, is there a solution yet, to get the avatars from vBulletin to show in the Wordpress comments?

[WouterN]

We use (a part of) this plugin on our website http://www.mobilyz.com.
I am trying to fix the flash upload issue since our editors are getting really annoyed by the issue.

If anyone has some helpful info for me (or tried to fix it themselves but dit not succeed, please let me know. In the meantime I will try to find the error and fix it. If i am able to find it I will, ofcourse, post the solution here. Any info on this matter would be appreciated.

Yes it works on 2.8.4 also. Make sure you disable it first and then upgrade. Then enable it. Avatars are already pulled with this plugin you just need to modify the code in the right way. And make sure you dont have gravatars enabled.

Thank you, the upgrade worked fine. :)

However, I have never had any luck with getting avatars and links to vB-profiles into Wordpress-posts. I try to follow the instructions, but get lost when I get to the part of "Wherever you see the code: <?php the_author() ?> You can replace that with something like..." because I don't have that code anywhere in my comments.php. I do however find value="<?php echo $comment_author; ?> but I guess that's not the same? :confused:

Its there in the readme file:

[tomsangels]

Ok, I have everything working, but I would REALLY like to change the forum user that the wordpress posts get posted under, but i have not been able to do this. I deleted all of the tables and reinstalled and it still keeps posting under the original user instead of the one I have it configured to post as.

That error should not appear if you have followed all steps in the readme.

As for your second question, you can create more usergroups in vB and then go to map users in WP and set them as editors.

Hi mate i followed the steps it saves the usergrps fine but i get that error

I cant make new groups that why i asked the question i have a level system using Usergroups and have only a few bloggers so i cant make a new grp just for them if you understand me

You cannot make Usergroups in vbulletin or you don't know how to make? I am not sure I got you right...

[Xencored]

You i know how and yes i can
But if i did that it would screw up the way my Usergroups work thats why i asked about Additional groups ;)

[amjadz4]

That cannot be done. Another way would be: You can make those additional groups with permissions based off any default group and add the members to them. Then you can assign them as editors.

Still looking for a response to this issue. You can find screenshots at this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1858689&postcount=714

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.

Since you are the admin, why not change SABRSox as user id #1 in WP and make admin 2 ..or remove it?

should solve the issue temporarily.

I just installed the latest version of WP and the bridge on my 3.8.4 forum.

I did not yet enable the integration feature. When I try and create a post in WP I am directed to a completely blank white page when I click submit.

When I disable the plugin I am able to post successfully.

Any idea what I should check first?

hi all,
is any solution to share tags between wp and vb ?..

[PlayersBay]

Hi,

Can this plugin be used to integrate users (and user login) for vbulletin and Wordpress, while still allowing the users to post WP blog posts and Vbulletin forum posts as they were before with seperate accounts?

(So I don't want the WP blog posts or articles to appear in the forum or anything like that. Just simple user sharing.)

Yes ofcourse. if you dont want comment integration..you can let the forum users comment on your wordpress posts too.

[vexvegaz]

i tried applying the edits inorder to post comments in vb but i ran into some issues.

where is the comments.php , i only have comment.php and that file doesnt have the line
"<!-- You can start editing here. -->" and this line "<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>"

wordpress ver 2.84

[SABRSox]

Since you are the admin, why not change SABRSox as user id #1 in WP and make admin 2 ..or remove it?

Because I'm not the only person on the site who writes articles. I don't want to have to do that for everyone that writes articles.

A real fix for this issue would be nice.

I have tons of error messages when I turn the plugin on.

All I did was the following:
1. FTP the documents to the wordpress plugins folder (not in a subdirectory, straight in that folder, as told in the read me).
2. Turn on plugin

The plugin doesn't seem to know which databases to use for WP and which for Vb my developer says.

I haven't read the entire thread but I somewhere read that you need to tell it (somehow) how user levels correspond in WP and Vb. I am not sure this is before turning the plugin on or before turning auto-integrate on.

Is there someone here who I can pay a small fee to look into the problem?

[rrudeboy]

would it be overkill to install thus purely to have it post your WP blog articles to a vBulletin forum ?

FYI my problems are solved now thanks to the help of user Amjadz4.

Can recommend him! I had a plethora of WP plugins installed and he indicated where the conflicts where, how to substitute the plugins or to correct the errors, and also gave the solution on how to set up the databases correctly. All of this at a fair fixed price!

Will definately use him again.

Edit: Also a huge thanks to the makers of this fantastic plugin!

I am successfully using it with VB3.8.4 with WP 2.8.4, and it works for sure :)

Regarding your login to wp-admin, you can remove the plugins folder and it should allow you to login i guess .because it would deactivate this plugin or the hardway would be to directly go into wp-options and disabling the plugins..

[ALBCODERS]

Yes I understand you.But I can not enter in wp-admin and I cant modify nothing.I removed this plugin with filezilla.Because I had path error and I couldn't move.But I cant Understand Why the categories are removed.My categories that I had yesterday now do not egsist.Because of that the links of Posts do not function ,I take 404 error.I need to do something.My Site does not function you will see if you click on a post. its like this > (http://www.albcoders.com//element-i-ri-per-html-canonical.html)

Let me start by saying this is a cool mod and amjadz4 is a great person to work with. I recently changed my hosting account from shared to VPS now the plugin is making site blank and I don't know why.

Same host, simply just upgraded my account to VPS, all login info the same. Any suggestions?

[ghealy44]

can someone please help me out?

this mod generally seems broken to me as I followed the instructions perfectly yet there are massive errors.

here is the one I currently have: Warning: require_once(/home/content/g/h/e/ghealy44/html/forums/includes/functions_misc.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/g/h/e/ghealy44/html/twitchthesticks/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 702

when I click on any link after turning this plug in "on" this is what i get:

cannot include /home/content/g/h/e/ghealy44/html/forums/global.php. You should check your path! Turning Plugin Off

any help would be greatly appriciated, I currently have no idea where to even start in fixing this mess.

[ghealy44]

Anyone have any ideas that can help me?

[rob01]

can we use diferente databese names?

I hate to come off as a whiney dude, but Ive been sitting here yesterday stuck with this thing. I bought this forum specifically for this plug in and its not working and I have gotten no suport with it.

Honestly this plugin is now useless. Errors galore and hasn't been updated in over 6 months. Maybe the developer is waiting for vbulletin 4.0?

A more useful plugin would be a wordpress plugin that integrates seamlessly with vbulletin. Using wordpress as the front end for CMS, and pulling in vbulletin avatar information where wordpress avatars on the CMS side. Also, cookies so people don't have to login twice, and ability to map different levels of users.

Basically, we all need the REVERSE of this plugin. Now, that would be something a LOT of people would pay for!!!

Look at http://www.jfusion.org they do this for joomla/vbulletin as a master control bridge. Why not make one for wordpress to vbulletin?

Any developers how difficult is this?

This plugin already does all what you said. With a little of extra tweaking and customizing if you know even a bit of HTML or PHP you will get exactly what you need!

But yes its true..it should have been more simpler for non-techy/geeky. Lets wait for 4.0 I am sure someone is working on a real plugin and hopefully for WPMU too.

[Jafo232]

Well, if you cannot install it Amjadz4, by all means go elsewhere. I personally have this running on 4 sites, two which are rather large.

As far as the future of this mod? I am waiting to see the new suite. If the VB CMS is not a piece of junk, I will probably abandon this.

Hi there... This mod is fine for those who have already a big blog/cms with wordpress... and do not want to copy everything in the integrated CMS of vBulletin ^^

By the way, i have a big problem with the mod... it was fully ok during many days, and suddenly id do not work anymore... It is impossible to log in with the name used in the vb forum ?!?
The rest is OK, for example if i post an article with admin user, it is well shown in the appropriate topic...

Subsidiary questions :
About the accent... In french many accent are not well displayed in the vb forum... when this mod is activated... Do you have any idea ?

Thank you for your help on this mod :)

[amjadz4]

Well, if you cannot install it Amjadz4, by all means go elsewhere. I personally have this running on 4 sites, two which are rather large.

As far as the future of this mod? I am waiting to see the new suite. If the VB CMS is not a piece of junk, I will probably abandon this.

I am sorry Jafo... I dont think you actually heard me right. I have installed / helped more than 80 members personally installing this mod, giving them my time. I support this completely and I use it personally too. If you just go back and read all the posts you have missed, you will know what I mean. The members here are the witnesses.

Thanks!

Hello,

I've successfully installed this plugin on one site (was very very easy) and am trying to install it on another site. For some reason I just can't get the resetvbbridge.php file to actually reset anything. If I leave it in the root wp directory and reenable the plugin, it doesn't even seem to notice that the file is there -- in the previous installation, I couldn't enable the plugin with this file still in the root wp directory.

Even though I am able to see the forums through the plugin (all forums load up, all user groups displayed -- so I know it could 'see' the forum) I am getting a white page when I attempt to post. Normally I'd use the remove script to reset and start integration all over again but I can't seem to do that.

Is there a manual way to reset?

Thank you for your time.

Yes there is. Delete all files first then go to phpmyadmin and search for tables starting with vbb_ in the WP database. delete them all. Then re install it! :)

[awgrfx_nick]

Thank you!

Do you think that there is any correlation between the script not being able to see the reset script and posts going to a white page?

[awgrfx_nick]

So here is the next issue I'm having. I'm sure it's a relative path problem but for some reason I just can't figure it out

cannot include /mnt/target03/357127/357132/www.domain.com/web/content/home/wp-admin/global.php. You should check your path! Turning Plugin Off

Obviously it's looking for the vb global.php file in the wrong place, but I entered the same path in this time as I did the last time when I was able to 'see' the forums in the add post page.

I fixed the above issue, but again when I try to post I am taken to a blank page.

[awgrfx_nick]

It turns out that it was a memory issue. For all of those that are having issues with white pages and think you have set it up right, please check your php error logs!

[ghealy44]

OK i was finally able to get it working. I had to switch servers to get it working.

my question now is how to get my wordpress header to show up on top of my vbulletin header.

Basically I am trying to make the forums a page in my wordpress template, or at least have it look like it is.

Hello, after i remove the plugging, use reset, and reinstall it, i have the same problem...
When i post a message in word press with admin user, it is shown in the vb forum... so it is OK...
But i cannot login wordpress with any vbulletin user account even if plugin is turned on, and enable ?!?
Is there a way to completely remove the mod, and to reinstall is properly ?

can someone tell me how to add my WP header to my V Bulletin header?

[RileyFreeman]

I hope no one kills me for asking this but theres 60 pages here. I simply have one question. The creator of this says it likely wont work if your site is forums.sitename.com

Has anyone tried it and had it work successfully?

[amjadz4]

my question now is how to get my wordpress header to show up on top of my vbulletin header.

Basically I am trying to make the forums a page in my wordpress template, or at least have it look like it is.

Its all CSS and templates. Just copy the header code from wordpress and paste it into vbulletin. How hard can that be? But its not simple as it sounds, you need to do a lot of tweaking. However be aware not all templates can be integerated this way. There will be CSS conflicts. I provide this service however for a fee. But you can try yourself. If you dont have luck, feel free to PM/MSN me.

Isn't the subdomain pointing a folder relative to the root?

for example: forum.domain.com => domain.com/forum/

just try pointing it as though it was not on subdomain.

Or use subdomain redirects.

OK, i will try it tonight!. By copy the code you mean from within the actual header.php right? I have been trying to just include it.

thanks for the reply man!

No, that will not work unless you have both blog and forum in the same folder and a call to include wp-blog-header. Its pretty complicated that way. So if you want a simple solution, just open a page in the blog and view its source in html then copy the required code, both from header and footer if necessary.

happy to help! :)

someone knows why users don't get ported or shared between vb and wp?

[amjadz4]

They do get ported and shared. Users from vb are ported into WP. So once a user is logged in vb...they have access to all features in WP. (like comments etc)

Making it work on each member own blog would make it really much more useful!

The plugin is installed on my site, but when we try to get the current logged in user in wordpress the user_level variable is empty?

This is the code, just for reference:
global $current_user;

Use this in your WP template:

<?php global $user_ID, $user_identity, $user_level ?>
<?php echo $user_identity ?>

it should work! tested by me. :)

[MadsK]

Will this mod be updated to work with vBulletin 4.0?

[amjadz4]

Did not solve the issue :(
That means something is wrong with the integration. I tested it several times. Once logged in the user will display on the wordpress site with this code. Try putting it on the index page.

Or try this perhaps:

<div id="top">
<div class="logo"><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></div>

<?php global $user_ID, $user_identity, $user_level ?>
<?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?>
<!-- If users logged in, display the navigation: -->
<!-- logout -->
<ul class="login">
<li class="left">&nbsp;</li>
<li>Hello <a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity ?></a></li>
<li>|</li>
<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/wp-admin/">Dashboard</a></li>
<li>|</li>
<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/wp-login.php?action=logout&amp;redirect_to=<?php echo urlencode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) ?>">Log Out</a></li>
</ul> <!-- / logout -->

<?php elseif (get_option('users_can_register')) : ?>
<!-- ... else, display navigation below: -->
<!-- login -->
<ul class="login">
<li class="left">&nbsp;</li>
<li>Hello Guest!</li>
<li>|</li>
<li><a id="open" href="#">Log In</a></li>
</ul> <!-- / login -->

<?php endif ?>

</div> <!-- / top -->



For those wondering what this code is... It is to display The login info of the user logged in on your wordpress template.

[820Media]

Does this work with subdomains?

for example my homepage (wordpress) is:

example.com

Forums:

forums.example.com

Yes it works with the latest versions. Go ahead and Make sure you disable the plugin and upgrade. Once done, just enable it!

I was able to get wordpress MU to sync the users. I'm finishing developing the user login bridge for Wordpress and vB 3.x as we probably aren't interested in moving to 4. VB 3 works with everything we have and it has tons of great plugins so we'll be keeping it for a long while... and wordpress is great.

I'm using wordpress own commenting system, but i only want registered people (with the bridge) to be able to write comments.

Also i will need to display their username, avatar and ofcourse their comment to all users.

How can i do this?

[selectah]

Hi there, I did a search but couldn't find what I was looking for, so sorry if this is a repeat question.

I just upgraded the bridge plugin and it's running on the latest 3.8.4 vbulletin. When I post a thread in Wordpress and choose to post it into a forum, i click 'Publish' but all I get is a blank white post.php page. It seems as though the post is being added to Wordpress fine but doesn't make it to vBulletin.

Hope someone can shed some light on that.

Thanks.

This is already done by default if the plugin is installed successfully.

You will to reinstall the plugin step by step again. First remove it completely. even from the DB

Thanks. It works. But avatars do not though. I already have the avatar of the user shown in the log in box, if logged in. How could i go about and put this avatar into the comments? It seems i cannot edit the wp_list_comments thing.

Your help is appreciated.

If you see in the read me file, the file edits which you have to do. In it find this code:

<img src="<?php echo get_option('vbb_VBURL') ?>/image.php?u=<?php echo $reply['userid'] ?>&amp;dateline=<?php echo TIMENOW ?>" alt="<?php echo $reply['username'] ?>'s Avatar" class="avatar avatar-32 photo avatar-default" width="32" height="32">


This is what does the avatars. It should work if the paths are correct.

This is what does the avatars. It should work if the paths are correct.

Thanks,

But to be able to link to the avatar i would have to have vbb_VBURL defined right? And what about the $reply - does it need some prework before it works? I've tried inserting the code directly into my functions.php as this is how i define my comments.php, but it just shows an image of vbulletin logo and thats it.


EDIT: Actually it seems everything is working except the usersid is not fetched. When i view the image, i get the correct url:

/forum/image.php?u=&dateline=1258362456

but as you can see it is missing the u=?????.

So how do i get it to fetch that correctly?

2nd EDIT:

I think i actually got it. I played around a bit and came up with the following (If anyone else should want to use it):

img src="<?php echo get_option('vbb_VBURL') ?>/image.php?u=<?php $user = get_userdata($comment->user_id);
echo $user->ID; ?>&amp;dateline=<?php echo TIMENOW ?>" alt="Avatar" class="avatar avatar-32 photo avatar-default" width="80" height="80">

Hi everyone. I have a question. I have vbulletins and wordpress on different URLs. Same server. I see the requirements are they be on the same domain.

Will it just not work at all on different domains -- or is it just they have to login on both (if it's the latter, I can live with that).

Thanks

Hi,

I have a problem whereby the author of a post in Wordpress is displaying incorrectly, for example:

A user with a VB id 12 writes a post in Wordpress,
his WP user id is 52

However it is displaying the author of the post as VB id 52, when it should be VB id 12, but it is using his Wordpress ID for some reason?

Any ideas?

On Wordpress 2.8.6 when creating a blog item, if you try to insert a photo into a post, there is a javascript error in wp-includes\js\tinymce\wp-tinymce.php. I could still upload photos, just not insert them into the post through the editor.

I didn't look too much into it, but disabling vBridge made it work again, and installing CKEditor while vBridge was enabled also made it work.

Instead of trying to fix the problem, I've been using vBridge with "Dean's FCKEditor" plugin for Wordpress...as it has more features than TinyMCE anyway.

Well, I am using vb4 now and as for the wordpress website, I switched to WPMU.. and on a separate domain. The plugin is useless to me now.

[StalkerB]

Does this plugin copy comments from Wordpress into the appropriate forum thread and vice versa?

If not would there be anyway to do that?

Also is it possible to tell the plugin to pull the actual excerpt field from Wordpress to make a thread on the forum?

[StalkerB]

While I'm on the subject when I activate the plugin it works, but it leaks memory until my server crashes!

Anybody experienced anything similar or know what I've done wrong?

Just like everyone else I am desperate for the following:

* a piece of code to help avoid the Featured Content Gallery jquery conflict
* a wordpress plugin or piece of code that will let my users login from my wordpress sidebar and remember them...showing their forum stats would be a bonus like this mod:

I currently have tried all the external login mods and they all work when i test them on my site outside or wordpress but the second I try them in wordpress I get errors and they don't remember my cookie

I am willing to pay money for these things

[hiphopargentino]

I really think this MOD is played out because VB4 will be out really soon. So I hope Jafo is working with the new version of VB (and the new of wordpress, WP 2.9 is coming soon too), and give everyone a better MOD, solving issues like:

- share users perfectly (mapping users from existing WP to VB)
- jQuery issue with the Featured Content Gallery
- Authors problem when a lot of users are posting

I'm anxios waiting for the new MOD!

I have almost 15,000 members in my wordpress site and have just added the VB forum... is there a script available that i can run which will copy these users into the VB db ??

You might be able to find a programmer that could make that happen, but I don't think anyone has, what is basically, a reverse version of this mod - one that is a VB bridge rather than a WP bridge. Have you checked WP mods and widgets out there? Because as this mod comes from the VB side, the mod you're looking for would have to come from the WP side. Just the opposite of this mod.

I added this bridge to my WP install as a CMS on my VB forum and it works great -- but then I'm not using it to cross post between the two programs. I'm using it to let my 38,000 VB members have access to writing comments on staff written posts. And, I also, have given some of those VB members "Author" permissions via a custom "Authors" usergroup in VB.

Nope nut yet but I want to. Our editors often go to press-meetings and take a lot of pictures. They need to upload 20 to 30 images and now they have to do it 'by hand' with the normal uploader. That sucks.. :(

I have a problem with vbridge plugin -- a conflict with vbulletin gzip compression.
I'm sorry if I didn't notice any previous discussion about this, I had read this thread, but not very carefully, I'm almost 18 hours coding and debugging today.

So, the problem is: turning on gzip compression in vbulletin admin panel causes wordpress with activated vbridge plugin to go somewhat nuts.
Instead of any wordpress page you can only see corrupted first page of vbulletin.
Turnin gzipping off eliminates the trouble, but that's not a nice solution, I think.

A little research turned out that critical line is line 88 in file vbridge.phprequire_once($vwd . '/global.php');. When gzipping in vbulletin is on, this inclusion results in immediate output of forum's front page and termination of all scripts.

So, the question is -- is there any way to suppress gzipping mode for vbridge inclusion, but leave it on for normal forum operation?

You get gzip error problems when gzip is already enabled on your server. I think it has nothing to do with vbbridge. I this problem when I moved servers and discovered that if gzip is enabled on the server, vbulletin's implementation of gzip croaks. Check your server settings in phpinfo and you will probably find that gzip is enabled already. It has nothing to do with the elegance of the solution, that is the way it works.

I've found a temporary fix for the "admin/first user" bug.

The dilemma: I'm working on a project that is requiring a pretty complex setup, and this plugin was a crucial part of it, especially due to the fact that we need to fully support multiple contributors. Unfortunately, we ran into a huge issue during development, the issue being a bug where the author ID would change to 1, no matter who was editing it.

Ultimately, it came down to a box on the post editor which allows one to change the current author of the post being edited. This box works fine without the plugin active because it would pull the list of authors from the WP database, but the vB bridge does not push it's users into WP, so WP would still only find the same users in it's database. That means when anyone edited the post and saved it, the author box would default to user #1 (usually 'admin'), because, as I mentioned earlier, it does not "see" any of the vB users.

The solution:
Make A BACKUP Of Both Files BEFORE You Make ANY Edits!
These are core files, and can ruin your Wordpress backend. You Have Been Warned!


Open: wp-admin/includes/edit-form-advanced.php
Find and Delete/Comment:
$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;
if ( $authors && count( $authors ) > 1 )
add_meta_box('authordiv', __('Post Author'), 'post_author_meta_box', 'post', 'normal', 'core');


Open: wp-admin/includes/edit-page-form.php
Find and Delete/Comment:
$authors = get_editable_user_ids( $current_user->id, true, 'page' ); // TODO: ROLE SYSTEM
if ( $post->post_author && !in_array($post->post_author, $authors) )
$authors[] = $post->post_author;
if ( $authors && count( $authors ) > 1 )
add_meta_box('pageauthordiv', __('Page Author'), 'post_author_meta_box', 'page', 'normal', 'core');


That's it!
I'd love to figure out how to make the plugin disable this box, and will probably try to do so once this project is done, unless the developer beats me to it. One last reminder: Because we made core file edits, there's a strong chance that the changes you've just made will be overwritten in future upgrades.

Is this working with vB4.0 or not?

[AndyAA]

Does anyone know how to display the authors details / about me (Biography, Location, Interests, Occupation ) in a post?

I have tried various solutions such as:

<?php echo $vbulletin->userinfo['location'] ?><br />
<?php the_author_ID(); ?>
<?php the_author_meta(); ?>
<?php the_author_description(); ?>

but no luck

I am desperate to find how to do this and have't had much success googling or searching for it.

[amjadz4]

hey people i'm back!! :D

Is this working with vB4.0 or not?

Yes I have confirmed and tested it works with WP 2.9 and vB 4.0.0 Gold.

In Wordpress please...I am desperate for a solution

[flyah]

does this really work with vb4.0? I mean, no bugs or whatever?

[amjadz4]

In Wordpress please...I am desperate for a solution

Hmm, should not be hard. I think it can be done using simple SQL commands and PHP. Also you have to include vBulletin's global.php before calling any variable.

Yes it works. no bugs or whatever.

[AllinJac]

Sorry for the NUBIE question here but I am having a hell of a time finding

the_author

where is this located.... Is it in WordPress or vBulletin and can anyone tell me which file...

I went through every PHP file and could not find a single instance of the_author...

Thanks in advance for the helping!!!

Anyone have Disqus installed on their Wordpress blog? Would this work with it?

Are you able to provide an example using simple SQL commands and PHP to call the users details in wordpress?

I already have global.php included in a variable.

[1up_dave]

I'm no programmer, but here's what we're using. I don't know if it's the correct query to use, but it works for us.
<?php $db->query_first("SELECT username FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE userid = " . $post->post_author); ?>

Then again, we're using the Smarty template engine, so I'm not sure if this would work properly if put directly into the template files. Maybe create a theme function with it or something.

Sorry Dave no luck

If I use <?php the_author_link(); ?> it displays the authors names but I want some more info to be shown like the authors about me and location

[AndyAA]

And random author wordpress codes work and some dont:

<?php the_author_posts(); ?> works
<?php the_author_firstname(); ?> doesn't
<?php echo the_author_email(); ?> works
<?php the_author_description(); ?> doesn't
<?php the_author_link(); ?> work's
<?php $curauth->description; ?> doesn't

Anyone who knows how to get this author stuff working please hit me up...its the last thing I need to fix on my entire blog!!

[caracena]

Hi all,

I'm having the same problem that AndyAA has but with a twist. I'm trying to make two things work: Show the author's info and also make the comments propperly work becouse it won't get the user's avatar. Also, I have a problem where the author is always the same (from vB DB) no matter which user posts and I have multiple contributors... how an I fix this?

Also, has anyone had any problem with the flash upload system in WP after installing this addon? I had to switch to normal uploader becouse the flash system won't recognize users as logged in when this plugin is active.

Using 2.91 + 3.8.4.

Thanks!

[Tomahoochi]

I'm having the same "author" issue as mentioned above. I'm currently running WP 2.7 and VB 3.8.1. I can't upgrade until there is a solution t this since the bridge is integral to my site (www.tmrzoo.com). I've been using ver. 3.05 of the bridge for some time now. NONE of my 774 WP users and 1362 VB users have the same userid. After I upgrade, all of the author names are wrong. Any fix for this?

You should try passing arguments to the function(s) like the_author_ID()

InfoNirvana,

Thanks for that. I'll be honest that installing it isn't an issue - it's trying to debug problems. We've got as far as getting it all installed and posts being posted to VB, however when we set it to Auto-Integrate we get the following PHP Error reported in our logs:


Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_userdatabylogin()

Have you installed the plugin on fresh installs of both WP and VB? Also which versions of the two are you using?

[Stephan Whelan]

I have - the wordpress install is 2.9.1 and vbulletin is 3.7.6. We've followed instructions (the only tweak we had to do was provide an absolute path to our globals.php file). Everything worked fine up until Auto-Integration.

You get this error when you have another plugin conflicting with it. Disable all other plugins and enable just the bridge. When you have it working, then enable the others one by one. If you encounter the same error, you have found the culprit. Sorry to say but you cannot use that plugin along side the bridge due to conflict. Try finding an alternative.

[caracena]

So far I've got this working. I still have to make a good "About the Author" to go in every article in my WP while fetching everything from vB and to make my WP comments (without using the comments from the forum replies) appear with the user's avatar but I can wait for that.

My problem right now is that the bridge is making IE8 act strange. With this plugin activated, there's like a 150px width blank space to the right of my site so I have a horizontal scroll bar. If I use this bar and scroll to the right, it shows only the page background color without the 100% width background images in the top and bottom. It's like the site's CSS knows where to stop repeating images but the browser thinks that the page is wider. It doesn't happens in Firefox.

Any guesses?

Thanks!

What happens to custom usergroups from VBulletin? Do we manually add each user to Editor, Contributor usergroups in WP?

Each vb group can be assigned to each WP group. You can choose for example VIP group in vbulletin to be editors or a group like for example Special Members to any one of the WP user groups

In vBridge settings in dashboard look for this:

Excerpt Forum Post?:
No
Yes

If Yes Above How Many Characters In Exceprt: Whole Numbers Only

If Yes Above, Enter Link Text Back To Article:

There you can have a link back to the WP article. Type in something like "Read More"

[Stephan Whelan]

Thanks amjadz4 - i'll give that a go.

Hi Commander,

Try switching to explorer upload. I know it's a pain to upload one by one, but that error happens only when using the flash uploader.

This was happening to me when my forum(/forum) was there, and my blog was in the main public html directory. I moved the blog to (/blog) and everything was fine. I think it's a cookie path thing.

I have this working to the point of people can use the same login for both forum and WP. I can post to forum as well.

After i can make a test post, I then turn on integration and turn of Post to Forum.
Now I tried to map a usergroup to Contributor or Author and when I click Map, they have this warning

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /public_html/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php:153) in /public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 868

all the previous posts are now not showing any author because the mapping didn't work.

any idea?
