Complete Wordpress/Vbulletin Bridge - Share Users And Postings

[Blade-uk]

I have this working now but wanted to add a quote button.

Anyone know where to add a quote button and which code?

I also have the sidebar login, but i want to remove the dashboard link, any ideas on doing this?

Thanks,

Andy

Now, before we integrate, the admin account on WP side made a dozen or so posts, now after integration, those posts are without author because the old admin isn't there in VB database anymore and we don't have the ability to assign new author to it.

Do only VB usergroups that get mapped to Author group can get assigned as author of a post? Do Contributors group be author of a post as well?

thanks

[Blade-uk]

Ok few issues.

1 - How do i add a quote button into the comments.
2 - How do i get it to display the author's name as a name, and not as a username? Currently says the article was posted by Aruffell. I want is like it was saying Andy Ruffell
3 - How do i get ALL previous posts to use the forum for comments as now all of my posts barring one have no comments since this system was put into place?
4 - See screenshot below. Due to him quoting on the forum, it's come out funny looking.

Any ideas?

I'm having a problem getting the author name to display on my posts. This plugin was working fine before, until I just noticed the author name was linking to the WP author page (which doesn't exist). I guessed this must have been due to a Wordpress update, so I restored the vbbridge code:

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

But for some reason, it will no longer display the username. When I view the source there, the correct link to my VB profile is there, but no username?

I have a special usergroup in VB that is mapped as Contributor in WP. They can write post and submit for review.
However, when an admin edit the post and publish it, the author of the article became that admin, not the original contributor.

Anyone knows how to keep the original author intact even if it's being edited by other admin/editor

Thank you.

What I did was to create a WP admin (different than "Admin" for safety), another admin user for vB and a second admin in vB that I used to integrate. This way I can login with an administrator's account to make changes but if I want to post a new article, I login with a vB username assigned to a "Authors" gourp in vB with Administrator as a secondary group. That way, what I post in WP appears with my name and not the "integrator's" name. Whatever you write with a Administrator as primary account, the integrator's username will appear as the author.

You would expect this plugin to also feth the user's secondary groups but it doesn't. Just the primary and that should not be a Administrative account for posting articles.

I really don't know how to do this. What I did was to map the "Authors" group in vB as Authors in WP so they can publish articles directly. I would also like to review the articles before they are submitted, but since I'm having the same resoult as you, I rather have a later correction to an article still with their names on so they have the credit for them.

Hi experts,

I've recently successfully installed the VB bridge with the latest version of WP and VB. I just noticed that after the installation, it seems that I keep on getting logged out of the forum when there is some inactivity for some time (<1h). This wasn't the case before. I did check 'remember me' when logging in. Also, a few other users have noticed this behavior. The WP page is not live yet, so nobody else has accessed it, but they still see this behavior in the forum.

Why would the login be cleared after some time? Any suggestions/help/advice would be welcome.

Thanks,
-manu

I created an Author usergroup in VB and assign this usergroup as secondary to some members but it seems the bridge does not like this. It seems I can only map author if I also make the primary usergroup Author as well.

Ok, after countless hours of working, I finally have the plugin working the way I wanted. Now I have one last issue. I want the thread created automatically in the forums with each WP article to be closed after it was created. Does anyone know how to do this? I want comments ONLY in WP.

Thanks,

If the thread is going to it's own forum then you can set those to be closed in the forum setup. I don;t think you can do it on a thread by thread basis

Hmm you are right. I didn't think of this. Thanks a lot ;)

This doesn't seem to work with the latest wordpress? It's trying to find global.php, but wordpress comes with no such file... Here is what I get:

cannot include /home/sites/360elites.net/public_html/sample/global.php. You should check your path! Turning Plugin Off

Hmm I'm using WP 2.9.1 and it runs smooth with it. If yours it's a fresh install, delete everything and start over even from the WP installation. If you follow the steps inside the readme file that goes with the files for the script, you should have no problems at all.

[Radjedef]

Thanks! WP 2.9.1, works fine.

There is just one problem with german chars. Instead of "ü", "ö" or "ä" there is something different. The UTF-8 option is turned on.

Any ideas?

[Quantnet]

I wonder if anyone get the avatar to work if they move avatar to file system instead of the default database.

[Radjedef]

Problem fixed :p
vBulletin was ISO instead of UTF-8.

If you have char problems, try this:http://www.vcharset.com/

Thx for the plugin, love it :)

[caracena]

Hi all,

Has anyone been able to pull vBulletin stats into WP? I would love to have a little widget in WP with:

Registered Users
Total Threads
Total Posts

Thanks!

[Radjedef]

*uninstalled*

Too much bugs with nextgen gallery. Fix it and I will install it again.

[Gandham]

My posts are without author.
I disabled vbbridge and added new admin account and set the account from which I made the posts to author. Still i my posts are without author.
Also my gravatar is missing in comments :(
Does this plugin make modifications to core wp-functions like get_author??

[lycheepassion]

So does this link the blog to the forum better? WP is on the root then forum is /forum.. RIght now I just have a page redirect to the forum, probably not the best.. Will this help me? :)

[Brew]

Is this working with vB 3.8.4?

Is there a version for vB 4.0.+?

Thanks!

[Demo16]

As for me is not working. I've uploaded the 3 files, activated the plugin, I left blank this fields:
VB User ID
VB Username
VB Forum ID

as I don't need comments using vbulletin. I just want to integrated users.
but when I click to the vbridge user settings I got blank page.

any idea?

[Stephan Whelan]

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.
Thanks for your help previously but we've only just got round to restesting this. Even though we disabled all other plugins we still get the same error:

Found the problem.
Is a path problem as I'm still working on a test wp website while my forum is in the right domain.

I have my wp website here:

www.mytest.com which is /var/www/html/mytest/
and my forum here www.mywebsite.com/forum which is /var/www/html/mywebsite_forum/

what I have to ut in this fields:
Forum URL:
Forum Relative Path:

shall I use also this?
$vwd = '/some/path/to/your/forum';

bye

[Demo16]

ok now I have:

www.mywebsite.com which is /var/www/html/mywebsite
and my forum here www.mywebsite.com/forum which is /var/www/html/mywebsite_forum/

but still not working, what are the correct urls for the above settings?

[kersti]

I've done everything in the readme, step by step...... all ok except - my test post did not post to my forum... now what do I do?

[djxer0]

I'm trying to set this up with Wordpress 2.9.2 and vBulletin 3.8.4 and am running into an issue.

I can set it all up but when I try to make a new post in Wordpress I get the following error...

Here is line 114 from vbbridge.php

require_once('wpvbbridge/includes/class_dm.php');

I'm stuck at this point so if anyone might be able to help I'd really appreciate it.

[Demo16]

ok now I have:

Make sure the Forum Admin User you are using has a different name that your WP users (no admin for example). If it is, change it in Vbridge Settings in WP, deactivate the plugin and activate it again. Also, make sure your paths in Vbridge Settings are correct.

Same as above... correct paths. Try with the complete URL for the Forum URL (http://www.mysite.com/forum) and the relative path in the second option (for the same example, the path would be /forum).

ok now I have:

www.mywebsite.com which is /var/www/html/mywebsite
and my forum here www.mywebsite.com/forum which is /var/www/html/mywebsite_forum/

but still not working, what are the correct urls for the above settings?
Same as above... full path first and relative in the second box.

[Demo16]

OK now it works tnx but I got one problem.

For example if I have a post which has a vb author and I click on the authors name the page can't find all the post of this author, only says:

Nothing Found
There are currently no posts in this section, please check back again later.

the problem is that my permalink use also the author name so category/post/author for this reason I got all blank pages.

Any clue why? mapping problem?

[pujabrang]

does it support 3.8.4???

[CriStaS]

Hello, thank you for your plugin!

Found a bug (at least for me)...

VB with restricted access (all forums are closed, authorised access only) + public WP:

Logged user have no problems.
Unauthorised user can see only "white screen" on WP page.

Short research and I found solution (hack) inside vb/global.php :

We have (~ 1000 line):

...
if (!($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['forumpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']))
{
$allowed_scripts = array(
'register',
'login',
'image',
'sendmessage',
'subscription',
'ajax'
);
if (!in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, $allowed_scripts))
{
if (defined('DIE_QUIETLY'))
{
exit;
}
else
{
print_no_permission();
}
}
else
{
...


We need:

...
if (!($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['forumpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']))
{
$allowed_scripts = array(
'register',
'login',
'image',
'sendmessage',
'subscription',
'ajax'
);
if(THIS_SCRIPT == 'vbridge')
{
#vbridge unauth hack...
}
elseif (!in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, $allowed_scripts))
{
if (defined('DIE_QUIETLY'))
{
exit;
}
else
{
print_no_permission();
}
}
else
{
...


The hack :

if(THIS_SCRIPT == 'vbridge')
{
#vbridge unauth hack...
}
else
checks if current caller is vbridge and passes global without auth tests.

I know that it isn't good way, but I don't have much time to fix this in a right way...

P.S. vB v3.8.4, WP 2.9.2, vbridge 4.01.13

By the way. It works on domain (WP) and sub.domain (VB) for me with small hack too...

[caracena]

OK now it works tnx but I got one problem.

the problem is that my permalink use also the author name so category/post/author for this reason I got all blank pages.

Any clue why? mapping problem?
Althou in my case everything is working, I have the same problem but that is becouse "Find all posts from this user" searchs for WP posts. You would need to change the code in WP so it points to the user's posts in vB (like when you see at users statistics in vB)

does it support 3.8.4???
Yes.

All you need to do (I think) is map the users right from vB to WP. Make the group "Registered Users" from vB as Subscribers in WP but before that, install a plugin in WP that will let you set permissions based on WP user groups. WP doesn't really cares for your vB privacy settings so if you get blank pages, I'm sure you have something wrong with the bridge installation.

Hi all,

After playing with WP and this plugin for like two months or so, I finally opend it to the public... The forum was already running and only changed the skin (first try to make one lol).

If you care to look at it, please send me a comment with your thoughts.

http://www.pescaydevolucion.com (fly fishing site in spanish)

PS: Didn't use vB for comments... just users and avatars customly and proportionally sized ;). Sorry it's in Spanish :P

[caracena]

Hi all,

WP doesn't have a tracking system by itself so I decided to use a plugin called WassUp (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wassup/). It tracks visitors on your site and offers statistics as a widget. I can confirm that displays vBulletin users navigating the WP site with their usernames and all ;)

Ima so hapy!

Do you store avatar in database or in file?

Didn't you by any chance change the password for the user that's linking to your vBulletin? or something like that?

[PlayersBay]

Didn't you by any chance change the password for the user that's linking to your vBulletin? or something like that?

How you mean? Which user is linking to my vbulletin?

All my users are vb users that get transferred to WP via the plugin. No user passwords were changed by me.

[PlayersBay]

Amjad, please check your PMs.

[caracena]

How you mean? Which user is linking to my vbulletin?

All my users are vb users that get transferred to WP via the plugin. No user passwords were changed by me.

When you setup this plugin in WP, the first thing you do is tell the plugin which vBUlletin user is gonna act as the new WP admin once the plugin is working. I don't know what happens in WP if you change this user's profile in vB or even worse, delete it but it was worth asking.

This applies only to VB that uses database to store avatar? I store avatar in file folder so I guess it won't work.

You can use this code anywhere in the page on the wordpress blog you're linking to.
needs the avatar to be within the database though i'm sure
If you can post a few examples of your forums avatar urls and the matching user id's for those files i'll try and code something up for you though

ive been reading reviews, i read that people use for vb4 unless they are talking about a updated version, if there isnt a updated one then yes it work.


however if anyone could help me with getting comments bridged to vbulletin it would be much appreciated, thanks.

all is well but comments, and dont judge site, we are still working on the graphics.

Has anyone figured out how to list how many comments (via vb) a thread has, on the main blog page? (as apposed to listing how many comments have been made via wordpress)?, if so could you share with us how you accomplished this?, thanks.

Awesome Work! I really like the integration of the header and footer. How did you accomplish this?

[Steven Heron]

So regarding the white pages being displayed, does everyone agree this is consistent with forums that are restricted from public view? Perhaps the problem lies therein.

[caracena]

Awesome Work! I really like the integration of the header and footer. How did you accomplish this?

Thanks. By hand. I created a new vB theme and begun modification. First, copied all the header and footer images to the new theme's folder in vB and then started playing with CSS.

thanks!

[naoneo]

i'm having a somewhat strange problem, on vbulletin 3.8.4 and latest wordpress, everything will work fine for days on end, then suddenly the whole site will go white, not just for me but for everyone, absolutely empty pages for wordpress, the only way i can fix this is to delete the plugins, run resetvbbridge.php, then install the plugins and activate them again, a quick check on the server error log shows nothing wrong.
Is the a particular reason why everything just dies, yet if i deactivate then reactivate the plugin it'll work fine for days again?
I've noticed the past three times it's done it, i've noticed because i opened the browser and went straight to domain.com/wp-admin/, though because theres no errors reported in the log, i can't tell if that's just coincidence or the cause of it messing up.

Any ideas?

[SoloX]

^ am having the exact same issue. But a quick workaround is to restart apache. let me know if that fixes for you as well.

Also, has anyone come up with the author_link permalink solution? Right now, it results in a 404 as the author names are not in the WP database.

I can't currently do the workaround due tot he site in question being on a shared server (i dont want it to cause issues with other sites hosted), so my only way of fixing it is the above mentioned method

[shuwarriors]

This plugin is exactly what I'm looking for but I'm not sure if it will work.

I'm currently developing a wordpress site that will be for the domain www.shuwarriors.net

The vB forum is on a subdomain at forum.shuwarriors.net

I'm not interested in comments showing up on the forum - all I want is for existing players registered on vB to be able to login with existing vB accounts when I deploy WP.

Does this plugin support a subdomain forum and a main domain type setup?

*edit*
I'm noticing a lot of errors and stuff like this plugin re-sending header data and after updating a post I just got this;
Warning: require_once(./includes/class_dm.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/marksweb/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 113

[reteep]

Looks like there's a new "registry" object expected since the last update


Schwerer Fehler: Registry object is not an object in [path]/includes/class_dm.php (Zeile 205)

[mertiliuss]

sorry, I did everything you say, and it works perfect, I have only one question.

When I create a theme vbulletin exactly where you defined appears in worpress, but I cut the track at any time (the number of characters) that is why I want to know how to configure the number of characters, so I would not cut the item in aparescan anywhere and wordpress post completely, as in vbulletin.

Thank you.

[InfoNirvana]

Is there a Wordpress theme that works well with vB 4 ?

I'm having a bit of a trouble in using vBulletin for comments. I can't seem to find the comments.php file. Where is the file located?

[archaosus]

I couldnt find a reason for this - once this is installed and working my frontpage stops being a static page and becomes a list of articles which I dont want. Anyone know of a solution?

Yes it does.

[OcR Envy]

So I got this working on 4.0.3, even the comments(comments made in wordpress appear in the vbulletin thread) however posts made in the vbulletin thread do not appear in the wordpress comments.

Suggestions?

[simpixelated]

I am able to make posts in Wordpress and have them show on the forum. But I cannot reply to to them from either Wordpress or vb (posts to a blank white screen). I cannot get to any of the Edit Profile pages within settings (always dumps me back to usercp.php.

Edit: I was able to fix this issue. It was actually being caused by a plugin in vbulletin that was supposed to pull in the Wordpress header/footer.

Assuming I can fix the above problems, is there a way to have Wordpress create threads in a different forum depending on the category?

[Rohan95]

Does anyone have this mod running with Vbulletin 4.0 forum?

I have it on vBulletin 4.0.

[TomOfSweden]

I'm trying to install the Wordpress bridge. I've followed it to the letter installing all the values required. And I reach this part:


You MUST write a test post in Wordpress and make sure it is posting to the forum you select. If the post does post fine to VBULLETIN, then you have done everything right (so far). DO NOT TURN ON INTEGRATION UNTIL YOU CAN MAKE A TEST POST.

I try to create an article. I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read() on a non-object in /home2/bdsmwrit/public_html/stories/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 869

If I log in again and look for the article it is posted just fine.

If I create an article from the control panel I get the following error message, but the article does not get posted.

Warning: require_once(./includes/class_dm.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/bdsmwrit/public_html/stories/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line113

I've gone over this for two days straight now. I can't see what I'm doing wrong, and I haven't seen the same error message anywhere else.

If there's anybody who has an inkling of what's gone wrong, please help me.

Dear Developer,

When this bridge will be available for vBulletin 4 and WordPress 3? We are all eagerly waiting for you to update this MOD.

Thank you & Regards

[amjadz4]

Dear Developer,

Thank you & Regards
The bridge works on vBulletin 4 and WordPress 3.0 Beta without any issues. It should also work on later versions as long as the schema doesn't change and nothing else conflicts.

[ePressDNA]

It is a great MOD. Just need one final touch. Idea is great but I noticed that whenever we ban users white page is displayed to him. Sometimes even after loggin in WP Admin it redirects you to Forum. Author cannot edit their bio and first name or last name etc. Anyways, thank you for developing such great plugin. Best of luck :)

[TomOfSweden]

Does nobody know what is wrong with my install?

[amitash]

Thanks a lot.. Working Great!

[hkocer]

it worked on my wordpress 2.9.2 + VBB 4.0.3 setup, but once enabled the plugin , I am not able to upload any image in wordpress , anyone facing the same problem as me?

[jacobomoya]

it worked on my wordpress 2.9.2 + VBB 4.0.3 setup, but once enabled the plugin , I am not able to upload any image in wordpress , anyone facing the same problem as me?

Try using the browser upload instead of the flash one.

By the way, I couldn't get the comments to bridge, people who made it, how did you do it? I think the attached instructions are obsolete since some lines I should be looking for are different.

Like

Find:

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

seems to have been replaced by

<?php if ($comments) ?>

I made the change nonetheless

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

yet it's still using Wordpress comments.

[hkocer]

I didn't use them all and I keep the <php if have commecnts> one unmoved.

[jacobomoya]

I have somewhat fixed it, actually the problem was that the link to comment in the forum was there AS WELL as the Wordpress comment form, so I just commented the code for the WP one since the conditions to not show it (adding those "and ($vbridge[id] == '')" I guess) weren't doing their job.

Nitpicking one last time: while the comments count works properly on each article/page (they count the VBulletin comments) the counts on the main blog are still counting the WP comments, is this normal?

[whem]

hi all

Is there any way to add the counts of comments in WordPress to the counts of Posts in vbulletin.
:)

thank you

[TomOfSweden]

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'd be willing to pay someone to fix it for me.

So if there's Is there anybody here who knows what my problem is, knows how to fix it and want money, please contact me.

Will this work with vbulltin 4.0? What happens when WP integrates Multi-user into the standard protocol?

[phsycical]

Hello, I followed the instructions in readme.

After I update the settings and click submit I get broken path errors.

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

I've tried adding a new post to see if it would appear in vBulletin anyway, but I got this error.

Warning: require_once(DIR/includes/functions_newpost.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/phsycical/public_html/forums/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php on line 18

I've tried editing the vbbridge.php to include my forum path but to no avail, does anyone have an idea on what's wrong and how I could fix it?

[THETMZ]

I found this mod very useful but in the end I had to stop using it.

It turned out that when this mod was enabled there were issues with logging in/logging out. If you click logout on vbulletin and then try to navigate through threads as guest - it turns out after two or three clicks that you are logged in again. (I was recommended to try changing cookie settings on vbulletin - didn't help).

Next issue comes with "Read posts" and "Unread Posts". When you read post and go to the root of your forum it still shows that you haven't read that post.

After turning off this plugin everything works fine.

WP 2.9.2.

Any comments?
Thanks!

[neoacro]

Will this work with vbulltin 4.0? What happens when WP integrates Multi-user into the standard protocol?

Yes, I also need to find out if this plugin will work with vb 4.0 too. Thanks alot!:)

[slinkyman]

Is there still any fix for the flash uploader? I need it to assign a thumbnail to my post, but it won't work... I've read through the entire thread and lots of people have this issue, but none of them posted if it was resolved or not. Any help?

This is significantly important because of the rotating ticker that requires each post to have a thumbnail, but you cannot set a thumbnail with this mod as you get the "Are you sure you want to do this?"

[socceronly]

Yes, I also need to find out if this plugin will work with vb 4.0 too. Thanks alot!:)

I came here on the suggestion of someone who says they are using it with 4. That is how I found it.

However, it doesn't say anything in the info area.

Anyone confirm this works with 4? Or is recommended at all?

Thanks,
JM

With the user data base now using the VB userdata base, is there a way to change select users to not use the visual editor?

I'm assuming I'd have to do it in phpAdmin, but not sure what field and value it should be. Any help is appreciated.

[MediaHound]

Anyone using this with tubepress (tubepress.net) and getting those imports to create threads also?

Will this work with vbulltin 4.0? What happens when WP integrates Multi-user into the standard protocol?
At that point, I would think new code may need to be made for the plug-in, but I'm no developer.

[ImagenSkins]

I have vb 4.0.2 installed on my forum and I tried installing this mod but its sort of not working..
here's whats happening:

I uploaded the plugin files into wp-content folder.
I activated the plugins in wordpress.
I changed the options and didn't enable auto integrate.
I changed the user mapping settings and tested the posts.
The posting worked, so I enabled auto-integration but now it won't let me log into wordpress.
I reinstalled wordpress several times and tried again, and still no luck, help please....

Thanks in Advance.

[jacobomoya]

You get a blank screen or it doesn't recognize your user?

You know you must use VBulletin's user and not Wordpress', right?

[hollosch]

The bridge works on vBulletin 4 and WordPress 3.0 Beta without any issues. It should also work on later versions as long as the schema doesn't change and nothing else conflicts.

funny thing, reinstalled couple of times. Did everything as written in readme.txt. Post appears on forum, but when i turn on Auto Integration On - Blank screen :-). Maybe need VB4?

[THETMZ]

I have tried on a completely different server with VB4 running.
Results with VB4, WP 2.9.2

Still no luck...(not a blank screen on WP, but fatal error instead):
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_userdatabylogin() (previously declared in pluggable.php:166)

Any suggestions?

Thanks

[Xencored]

I miss this soo dam much for my 4.0
The Vbulletin CMS is a joke :/

[THETMZ]

OK, finally & hopefully got it working. The reason of all these errors was....Minimeta widget & TDO Mini forms...If you experience errors mentioned above - disable these plugins and have fun! It works with 3.8.5 and VB 4.0.3.

[Whitesky]

Hey need some help, massive problems..

Installed this on vB4.0.2 PL4

1) Followed instructions carefully, and when saved settings for first time in WP Admin - Settings - vBBridge Settings, got this:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/zngaming/public_html/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php:153) in /home/zngaming/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 890

However, it did appear that the mod installed. Test post worked fine, stayed logged in between forum/blog.

2) Tried Logging Off from WP, and got this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_clearcookie() in /home/zngaming/public_html/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 131

3) So.. I try to uninstall, upload resetvbbridge.php, opened and got this:

Warning: Unexpected character in input: ''' (ASCII=39) state=1 in /home/zngaming/public_html/resetvbbridge.php on line 4
Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/zngaming/public_html/resetvbbridge.php
Line: 4

Any help please?

[amplifiedshock]

For those asking if this works for vBulletin 4, the answer is yes.

I currently have my vBulletin 4.0.1 and WordPress 2.9.2 bridged and working perfectly.

[THETMZ]

Hello,

resetvbbridge.php didn't work for me either, but you can undo changes (autointegration = off) manually, through phpmyadmin. Go to wp_options table and search for %vb%. It will find some results where you can manually set Autointegration to 0.

BTW: this error comes up most likely because of some plugin you are using in wordpress.

it looks like there is no fix for this?

[MarWien]

What do you think, how secure is this bridge?
What does it do exactly? e.g. querying the vb when a user logs into wordpress etc.
Could it be hacked?

[jazzyname]

can user/members of VB of my site create their own blog using this? or is it just to make comments without logging in?

[Chase]

Is this working on 3.8.4?

[Reeve of shinra]

Jazzy -- Not sure, you would have to try this out with the latest wordpress version.

Chase -- yes.

[Xencored]

Hmm maybe i missed it but can or how can i get it to post Comments on wordpress posts to the VB forum :/?

Post work fine but when someone replys to the post the comments dont add on VB

[jamesyfx]

Hi,

Are there any issues with upgrading Wordpress to version 3.0 after this bridge has been installed? I don't really want to try it without some proof/steps to take to make things run smoothly.

Regards,
James

[Quantnet]

Yes, wondering the samething before upgrading to 3.0

[jamesyfx]

Hey,

Due to an irritating lack of reply (Which seems to be quite the norm on this website for anything other than a simple question...), I went and upgraded blindly.

It worked fine, no problems upgrading. Backup everything first though!

[shortbus1662]

So even though 3.0 has wpmu supported it still works? I just wanted to clarify. Thanks!

[shortbus1662]

FYI, it's working fine on my Gambling Forum (http://www.gamblingiq.com).
I don't have the articles posting into the forum but the user integration seems to be working fine.

[MikesSite]

The upgrade is smooth but there is a problem when logging out via WP.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_clearcookie() in .../wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 261

The old cookie call is depreciated.

Solution:
In vbbridge.php, find wp_clearcookie()

change to

wp_set_auth_cookie( $user_id, $remember, $secure);

Question - I posted an entry on WordPress and checked off "Do not post on forum", then I went back an edited it, but when I did that, I didn't select any option for using vB as comments. So now when you view the article on WordPress, it has the links to a thread that doesn't exist. Is there a way to remove it after that's happened?

[KProjects]

Just installed with a new WP 3.0 installation and a new VB 4.0.4 pl1 installation. Works well - except for the headers message when saving settings for vbbridge.

I also have feedwordpress installed - which does not post into the forums.. i'm going to try and figure out why probably in the next few days..

Hey, guys. I have an issue when trying to login via WordPress. A pinkish/redish box appears on load and shakes. This is the message within it:

"ERROR: The username field is empty."

Is there any way to fix this? Another query I have is how I can go about getting a vBulletin log in field on my WordPress page. I'm interested in showing if any new private messages are available, as well as the user's avatar. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

EDIT: Nevermind. This plugin is extremely unstable, no offense to the author. Thanks for the effort and share though.

[skariko]

I've found a FIX for the flash uploader problem for Wordpress 3.0:

On vbbridge.php at 47 line find:

#if (basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) == 'upload.php') { return; }

and replace it with:

if (basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) == 'async-upload.php') { return; }

[Manoel J?nior]

When I access the address of the Wordpress admin, I have to put the username and password on the forum and it redirects me to the usercp.

How to fix?

PS.:

It's not working. I tried flash uploader and at 100%, it display "HTTP error" in red

Browser uploader is working fine.

[amjadz4]

When I access the address of the Wordpress admin, I have to put the username and password on the forum and it redirects me to the usercp.

How to fix?

PS.:

Wordpress 3.0 - vBulletin 3.8.5
You can't use the WP login page. Login will only work via vBulletin. Once you are logged in on your forum navigate to the dashboard /wp-admin to be logged in automatically.

[Manoel J?nior]

Do not automatically login. I enter this forum, I logged in, then go into the / site / wp-admin and it asks me password, I put the password on the forum, and it keeps redirecting me to the Forum.

How come?

[Manoel J?nior]

OK. OK.. I upload resetvbbridge.php

Functionally.

use Browser upload. Flash upload has an issue with the plugin.

[fire999]

Am on vB 3.8.5 and WP version 3.0.

Placed the files under plugins main folder, and still unable to get this Bridge installed.

Errors seem to be revolving around: Lines 23x

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/public html/lostit.com/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 237

So having a check with the Editor, turns out to be this code:

$_POST['post_title'] = fetch_censored_text(utf8_decode($_POST['post_title']));

Been searching and searching but without avail resource of help, hence this posting.

Appreciate any help in advance!

So now when you view the article on WordPress, it has the links to a thread that doesn't exist. Is there a way to remove it after that's happened?

Question still hasn't been answered, but I'm changing it up a bit. When I'm using the iPhone WP App I don't have the option to post the article to a forum - so I decided I would do that when I got home. I got home, edited the article (but this time I selected a forum) and it didn't get posted. How come? Is there a way to go back and edit the article to have it posted on the forums?

EDIT***
I'm going to post this because I really feel this is a great mod and because for the past few hours I've been busting my ass trying to get my forum to work again. Hopefully there can be an FAQ section created in the first post.

This error is due to incorrectly uninstalling this mod. I'm not really sure how I "incorrectly" did that, but oh well. Here is what I did to fix it:

Delete the 3 files in the 'wp-content/plugins' folder.

functions_vbbridge.php
functions_wysiwyg2.php
vbbridge.php

Delete the tables in your database. Backup your files just in case.

Do a search for 'vbb' within the database '_wrd1'
select only those tables that start with 'vbb'
Delete them.


Reinstall the mod

[dcuellar]

Hopefully I can get this question answered.

I'd like to post on vB and have it post automatically on Wordpress. Possible?

[ElysianFox]

I couldn't get the comments system working, I was able to bridge users and logins, although whenever I post an article, it will always appear as the same user.

Then, When attempting to post as another user, it will blank out and not show an author or link at all.

Also, regardless of what userid or username for the forum, it will always post under the same username for the forum.

I love this plugin but i simply cannot use it if it does not show the article authors with the posts on wordpress. Comments, i couldnt care less, even though it would be nice to have, but the Author names not showing up is a huge problem to me.

if anyone can help me with this issue, please contact me here (mailto:jledesma@thegamersinsight.com) as i don't check these boards regularly.

[dcuellar]

For the sake of getting questions answered I am going to start an FAQ. If the author feels like it hopefully they will add it on the main post.

Mini FAQ:

Confirmed to work with the following (other than what is mentioned in the main post):

vBulletin v4.0.2 & Wordpress 3.0 (confirmed by dcuellar)
vBulletin v4.0.1 & WordPress 2.9.2 (confirmed by amplifiedshock)
I'll add more as you guys let me know.


How to correct:
Logout Issue (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2057877&postcount=1132)
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_userdatabylogin() ... (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2070190&postcount=1156)


WP Plugins that have interfered.
Minimeta widget & TDO Mini forms (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2046132&postcount=1114)


Let me know if there is anything else I should add.

[Disasterpiece]

Any time frame for this to be updated to 4.x?

I have this error:


I have WP version 3.0

Am I doing something wrong?

EDIT***
I'm going to post this because I really feel this is a great mod and because for the past few hours I've been busting my ass trying to get my forum to work again. Hopefully there can be an FAQ section created in the first post....

I discovered a better method.
It seems this happens, when you deactivate this plugin in the vbbridge settings, while it's integrated and an active WP plugin.

So in wp_options table, search for "vbb_VBPLUGION" and change value from 0 to 1, that did the trick for me.

[KProjects]

Playing with it again - I wish I could get it to work with feedwordpress though..

Working with wp 3.0 and vb 4.0.4 here: http://www.googlemusicservice.com

I had disabled it and noticed people were trying to test it..

[Kr33p3r]

Any idea when we will have a vb 4.0 compatible version of this out? If ever?

[slinky]

I'd say IF.

[RivaCom]

Maybe someone can help us out.

We currently have vBulletin 4.0.4 and WP 3.0, we installed the bridge and everything installs fine and were able to bridge the logins fine. Users can comment with their usernames perfectly.

However the bridge does not allow any type of news postings(rather it be submission from contributers, or posts from admin/authors.) It either errors out or just goes to a white screen. Has anyone been able to solve or even run into this yet?

[Xencored]

It works fine on 4.0 :up:

Wow... I always had challenges with 3.x. Good for you!

[dcuellar]

I seem to be getting a blank wordpress page every few days. Anyone know why this happens?

[FBChris]

Me too I am running into this problem. For now the problem seems to be the Wordpress post screen which holds a Author pulldown (post_author_override). This list does not hold the bridged users and so make it impossible to save the correct user. It simply overwrites with a wordpress user.

I have found a quick and dirty way to work around this problem. By adding the users who have the possibility to create posts into the wordpress tables.


INSERT INTO `wp_users` (`ID`, `user_login`, `display_name`) VALUES (3, 'Chris', 'Chris')
INSERT INTO `wp_usermeta` (`user_id`, `meta_key`, `meta_value`) VALUES (3, 'wp_capabilities', 'a:1:{s:6:\"author\";b:1;}')


Please note in this example my table prefix is wp_ this might be different for you. Replace the 3 with your vbulletin userid (http://www.yourforum.com/forum/member.php?u=3) and replace Chris with the vbulletin username.

Where are you adding this?

[creativepart]

I do the same. I turn off the bridge and manually create an Author account in WP without the bridge on. I make sure to use the exact same username.

Then I turn the bridge back on.

That way their username shows in the Author drop down box and if I edit the post and it gets changed to me, then I can change it back easily.

[FBChris]

Where are you adding this?

Those are SQL queries which go directly into the database.

The idea of creativepart is nice as well. Although it depends on how many visitors your site gets. Switching on and off the bridge for adding an author might not be an option for everyone.

[creativepart]

It takes only a minute or two with the bridge turned off and all it effects is someone leaving a comment.

[fake83]

I still got this issue: when I try to add a comment the site kicks me out and I can not even visualized it! If I change browser nothing happens....

Should I try to reset the bridge?

[RivaCom]

Anyone having a problem where it puts new users in random secondary usergroups? New users seem to be put in Admin and various other usergroups automatically.

[shortbus1662]

I can't get users to map right. I mean, when you login to wordpress everything is fine.

You write an article and everything is fine.

Then, when you view it on the site, it shows up as a different user.

[Xencored]

Upgrade to 4.0.5 with wordpress 3.1 all works great still :)

[Pirat3]

Does anyone know if vbseo works fine with this

[shortbus1662]

I haven't had any problems with vbseo, but I do still have some random problems on a fairly regular basis.

On a new install users mapped incorrectly so post authors were showing up wrong. Still get the white screen a lot on login. That kind of stuff.

[IRBroke]

Minor issue, when another admin posts a blog post, it says I posted it... with MY username :|

Im running Version 3.0.1 on wordpress and 3.6.x of vb. Also when I try to logout of the wp-admin control panel, I get a fatal error in the plugin.

[l1l j0k]

I NEED hooks enabled, but when I commented define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); out in vbbridge.php the function I need working still doesn't work, when I completely remove vbbridge.php my integration stops working but the function I need works again, anyone?

[hayamakun]

This added code allows the Wordpress front page (and probably some others that calculate comment count) to show the number of replies in the vb thread.

Note: I am using WP version 3.0.1 and VB version 3.8.6

In vbbridge.php, add to the end:


add_filter('get_comments_number', 'comments_count', 10, 2);

### Return Comment count
function comments_count($count, $postID = false) {
global $vbulletin, $vwd;

$wpdb =& $GLOBALS['wpdb'];
$sql = "select vb_threadid FROM " . $GLOBALS['table_prefix'] . "posts where ID = '$postID'";
$results = $wpdb->get_row($sql);

$sql = "select replycount FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread where threadid = '$results->vb_threadid'";
$results2 = $wpdb->get_row($sql);

return $results2->replycount;

}


That should work pretty well. Did some testing on it, seems to work fine.

Hi There.

I just want to find out. After the install, is it normal that the following areas in the Wordpress Admin cannot be access (Lead to a 404 error):
wp-admin/users.php
wp-admin/user-new.php

Yes its normal. Users are taken from vB database and not WP.

[eitai2001]

So if they login in wordpress are they automatically logged in VB and visa versa?

[amjadz4]

So if they login in wordpress are they automatically logged in VB and visa versa?
No, login only works via vB. If they login in vB they will automatically login in wordpress. That's why its posted here and not on wp.org.

[eitai2001]

Oh ok, thanks ... I thought it was both ways ... still a very useful plugin.

[cagbaazee]

Will it work with Vbulletin version 4.05 and wordpress 3.1

Need review before i install it. Thanks

[eitai2001]

Works just fine for me ... and that's what I'm using.

[cagbaazee]

can someone post example of these... My wordpress site is http://gurusecret.info and my vbulletin forum is http://gurusecret.info/vbforum

Define the following options:

VB User ID:
VB Username:
VB Forum ID:
Forum URL:
Forum Relative Path:
Database Prefix:
Turn Plugin On:
Does your forum use Unicode (UTF-8):


Thanks for yr help....

[eitai2001]

There is a set of instructions that tells you exactly what you need to fill in, which I followed.

VB User ID: (The computer ID of the default username you want to use i.e. 1)
VB Username: (The actual username of the default username you want to use i.e. admin)
VB Forum ID: (The computer ID of the forum you want to place the thread i.e. for General Discussions, yours could be 6?)
Forum Url: http://gurusecret.info/vbforum
Forum Relative Path: /vbforum
Database Prefix: You need to check the actual database ... i.e. vb_

[LuisManson]

its a shame this is not updated. at least vb cms is on pair with forum...
there is no warranty on this working after every vb upgrade :(

[euantor]

Got this working nearly fine with vBuleltin 4/WP 3. However, when I try to visit the forum that posts are being posted to, I get an Error 500 Internal Server Error. Posts are being posted to it and I can jump to the actual post, it's just the actual forum won't load.

[MaverickEX]

$results2 = $wpdb->get_row($sql);

return $results2->replycount;

}


That should work pretty well. Did some testing on it, seems to work fine.

Doesn't seem to work at all for me. Is there something missing here?

hey looks like a great mod man, is this working, or is there a plan for a 4.0 version???, would love to use this....

This works on vB 4.x and Wordpres 3.x..

[Aaron Freed]

I'm probably doing something incredibly stupid, but I can't figure out where I'm supposed to edit comments.php to get comment integration to work; the theme I downloaded from WordPress doesn't have the "You can start editing here" comment line. Furthermore, while posts to the WordPress show up on the forum, posts in the forum do not show up on the WordPress. This may be due to the fact that I'm not sure where to upload vbridge.php, which is not mentioned anywhere in the documentation. These are probably obvious questions answered elsewhere in the thread, but I don't have time to read forty pages before work.

[fake83]

I have this issue at the moment: sometimes the site kicks the users out and they cannot even connect to it for like 10-15minutes. Is a problem related to cookies? Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Thank you

[fmckinnon]

Hey - I decided to discontinue this ... and now, we've got the default comments.php (from the wordpress install) loaded, and on all of our posts, we've got tons of errors as comments, like this:

These are happening on just about every article we posted (when the vbridge was turned on and comments.php modified to use vbulletin for commenting).

Is there any fix to this, or way to get rid of all those?

[eitai2001]

Hi Guys. Found the following issues with WP 3.0.1 and VB 4.0.5:
- If Auto-integration is on, and a user logs into WP admin without registering on WP itself (i.e. uses VB username), he is able to create an article, but if I edit it ... it is not possible to set his name as the author again. Also, if I do create a username for him in wordpress, and I use the Yoast Google Analytics plugin, then when I set a custom author as a variable, it shows as blank ... but only when the auto-integration is enabled.
-If I disable the auto-integration but leave the module on to creates threads for each article, then I am unable to add media to articles for some reason. I either have to disable the module or enable auto-integration to add media.

Just a heads up, I know this module is no longer supported.

I have custom post types that I want to be posted to VB. Right now they don't show up, it's only if I create a post in post, anyone know how to add support for custom post types?

Does anybody know how to make it so that the viewpost.gif doesn't show up when people quote a post to an article? It shows up as a broken image for every single article.

[T?ltos.TV]

Hello and thank you for this mod.
It seems to work fine, I have only one problem...
If a VB user name contain special characters, such as this: G?za, it looks so in WP:G�za.
Or if I write in WP a post with the title such as this: h?z ?p?t?si napl?, it looks so in vBulletin: hĂĄz Ă?pĂtĂ?si naplĂł.
Could you help me please, to solve this problem? Thank you...

[MissKalunji]

So Let me get this straight.

I install wordpress.

It shares the users and the postings.

If i create a new thread in word press will it automatically show in the forum and vice versa?

Will it share the themes too or do i have to design one?

I'm thinking on using this instead of vbadvanced, I don't know complicated and "user friendly" not so much unless you love forums.

If you create a new post in WP it will create a thread in the Forum. If people reply on that thread in the forum, it will show as comments on the WP post. That's about it.

Another question

When i post a new thread it does show in vb.

What about replies?

When i reply it doesn't show in vb...

what would be good is if "clicking add comment" would open an ajax box with the comment, when they click post, it will say thank you and you can close the box.

Would be much better then having to go on another page and such.

[Jeel89]

I have a question about the data requested

(VB User Id), I suppose this is my customer number
(VB Forum ID), number of the license I own
(VB User Name), what of this, is this my username on vbulletin.com?

[hagalil]

No download possible.

[hagalil]

Vbull may be a good thing, but to pay and then be unable to use anything as you need to identify yourself nearly everytime you click somewere, makes me angry.
You get much better and friendlier service, nearly everywhere - for free!!!

[RyanC]

I've been using this plugin for years. It's been great... Just recently, the plugin started acting strange for seemingly no reason. Here are the details:

WP 3.0.1
VB 3.8.1

When you post from the wordpress admin, you get a blank white page. The post shows up on the wordpress blog as well as the assigned forum, however the comment count does not display anymore. So, there is no link from the wordpress post to the forum thread that represents it.

Any idea how I can fix this? This worked fine just the other day and just randomly stopped working. Would love some help.

[credenscel]

can this mod work for vb 3.6?

[MissKalunji]

This added code allows the Wordpress front page (and probably some others that calculate comment count) to show the number of replies in the vb thread.

Note: I am using WP version 3.0.1 and VB version 3.8.6

In vbbridge.php, add to the end:


add_filter('get_comments_number', 'comments_count', 10, 2);

### Return Comment count
function comments_count($count, $postID = false) {
global $vbulletin, $vwd;

$wpdb =& $GLOBALS['wpdb'];
$sql = "select vb_threadid FROM " . $GLOBALS['table_prefix'] . "posts where ID = '$postID'";
$results = $wpdb->get_row($sql);

$sql = "select replycount FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread where threadid = '$results->vb_threadid'";
$results2 = $wpdb->get_row($sql);

return $results2->replycount;

}


That should work pretty well. Did some testing on it, seems to work fine.

This would be possible ONLY if both are under the same database?

[MissKalunji]

anyone fixed the comment issue?

[MissKalunji]

Is it possible to use both wordpress and vbulletin comments?

For example showing the replies off vb and the amount of replies FROm vb

No no no, read the attached txt, those are your own's forum data. The user you want to post in the forum as when you export the WP posts and which forum you want to.

[mamulea]

My Wordpress site doesn't accept user registration. There are only users created by admin for posting articles. Is there a way to use this mod for commenting only? I would like only registered users in VB to be able to comment on the website, but without having a wordpress account.

I'm gonna snap a neck soon...

I'm using the latest version of wordpress (Which is Version 3.0.1 I believe), and the latest build of vbulletin 3.8. I followed the instructions exactly 3 times now, and every time it locks me out of the wordpress dashboard. I made sure the plugin has no sub directory, ive tested the posting feature before auto integrating, and ive made sure to map the users so the admins remain admins on wordpress...

Any help with this?

[Dr Longhorn]

Hi folks

Can this plugin post from a specific wordpress category to a specific vb forum? So I can have content posted from the relevant wordpress category to the relevant vb forum. I.e. posts from the cars wordpress category posted to the cars vb forum, posts from the dogs wordpress category posted to the dogs vb forum and so on. If so how do I do this?

Many thanks

Do you get a blank page or does the dashboard just reject your login? Are you sure you're using the forum username/password? Remember the WP users no longer matter once integrated. Have you tried different forum accounts from different usergroups?

You have to manually choose the forum you want each post published just like you choose the category.

Its rejecting my login...

I think I realized the problem, would it be that my Wordpress Username matches my Vbulletin Username, and thats causing some sort of issue?

[jacobomoya]

Hmm, it shouldn't cause a conflict since it no longer takes in account the WP users. Anyway, you should create another account on your forum and map its usergroup to, I don't know, editors, then try to login with that user, that'd at least help us localize the problem.

Ok, so I tried it again. here's what's happening. I login with my admin info, and it directs me to a blank wp-login.php page. Then I tried creating a editor user, and it takes me to the same blank page. Any ideas?

That's a reported 'normal' occurence, keep trying to connect into the wp-admin page and you'll eventually succeed. Clear your browser's cache/cookies, also, try it with/without the "www" in the url (like, if you're using http://gunshadow.com/wp-admin, try http://www.gunshadow.com/wp-admin) if you still can't.

You have to manually choose the forum you want each post published just like you choose the category.

I see the option to choose a forum, but I don’t see where you select which wordpress category you want to be posted to that forum, don’t I have to link the one to the other. Basically what I want is all posts that are made in a certain wordpress category to be automatically posted to a specific forum.

Thanks

Ive tried all of that. Everytime it either says, "Username field is empty at the login page", or it give me a blank screen

I'm afraid there's no such option. But the forum you choose in VBridge settings is just the default forum all posts will be published if you don't specify one. When you're writing a new post, look below for a new dropdown list with all your forums, you'll have to manually select the forum for every post with that.

Hmm, disable every other WP plugin and try it again from scratch. Might have a conflict going on there.

Ive been placing the vbulletin in the same database as wordpress, maybe I should try putting vb in a separate db?


EDIT: Ok so I tried a separate DB, and now its letting me login to the Wordpress dashboard with my vBulletin login details, but now when I login to vbulletin, it logs me right back out and I can't access the admin panel on vb...

Cookie domain problem. Use the tools.php to restore it, making sure it's pointing to the forum directory and not the root one.
