Complete Wordpress/Vbulletin Bridge - Share Users And Postings

[Jafo232]

Identical to this Mod here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1142950#post1142950), but now for the Vbulletin 3.8 line.
DOES NOT WORK FOR Vbulletin 4.x


This version probably no longer works for Wordpress 3.x. I have started developing this product over and have released the NEW version here:

http://www.lampwrights.com/showthread.php?t=41





This mod bridges your Vbulletin users over to Wordpress. You can also use Vbulletin as your comment engine instead of the spammy one built into Wordpress. You can display the comments inline in your post. You need not use the comment feature, if your only interested in sharing users.

You can map your Vbulletin Usergroups to Wordpress Usergroups and those users will then be recognized as registered Wordpress users.

For example, user "Joe" registers at your forum and logs in. Joe then clicks on your Wordpress page. Joe is instantly added to the Wordpress user base with the permissions you set for his usergroup. In otherwords, if a user comes over belonging to the "Registered User" group, you can select that he is placed in the Wordpress "Subscriber" usergroup.

If you change a users group from vbulletin, it will automatically change in Wordpress.

Requirements:
DOES NOT and WILL NEVER support Wordpress MU.
Wordpress and Vbulletin scripts must reside on the same physical server.
Wordpress and Vbulletin must use the same domain name.
Stable Wordpress Version greater than or equal to 2.7.
DOES work for Vbulletin 3.7.
Does work for vBulletin 3.8.Limitations:
Does not work for 4.x. Why? Because VB 4.x does not work for me. If they ever make that product worth a shit, I might support it.
Please don't ask if it works for any BETA versions of Vbulletin. I do not know and will not convert this to the latest version of VB (whatever it is at the time you are reading this) until the version is released as non-beta.
Does not work with XMLRPC.
Chances are, this will not work when VB and Wordpress are located in different sub domains. I.E. forum.yoursite.com - blog.yoursite.com. Cookie issue.
I did the best I could in determining your forums file path with the script. There may be certain script setups that cannot find the file path properly, in which case you may get errors that the script cannot find or open /config.php. If this is the case, please HARDCODE your ABSOLUTE path to the forum in vbridge.php.

To do this find:

## If you are having path problems, uncomment this next variable and define the path
## NO TRAILING SLASH!
# $vwd = '/some/path/to/your/forum';And uncomment the last line, and change the path to your forums path:

## If you are having path problems, uncomment this next variable and define the path
## NO TRAILING SLASH!
$vwd = '/some/path/to/your/forum';Common Mistakes When Installing:

Using two different host names causes problems. If your forum URL contains www.yourdomain.com (http://www.yourdomain.com), then your wordpress blog URL MUST contain the www. part of www.yourdomain.com (http://www.yourdomain.com) also. This goes for any other host name. Browsers are finnecky when it comes to cookies (as they should be).
Editors generally EDIT, not write. In Wordpress, editors don't show up in the post author drop down. This has nothing to do with this plugin, that is Wordpress code.
Make sure you DO NOT create a subdirectory for this plugin in the wp-content/plugins directory. Just upload it directly there..
If you do not map users before you turn auto-integrate on, the plugin has no idea whether your allowed into the dashboard.
If you all of a sudden can't login to the dashboard, see the above two common mistakes.
FOLLOW the directions and make a test post first. Being in a rush and not testing will most likely turn out bad for you.UPDATES:

Changelog is included in download, here is the most recent changes:

Taged, usefull for a upcoming project :)

[Bradley_Wint]

good stuff man.. always a fan of this product

[AzzX]

Upgraded and is working well.

Thanks Jafo.

[skariko]

With this new version the user that logging in into Wordpress site must be redirect to /wp-admin?
It is possible to choose this option? 'cause i don't like that they have two different profile (on /wp-admin and on the forum)?

[zachb]

Will install and check it out. I had to remove the old one because my WP got all screwy, btu i appreciate the mod a lot! Hopefully I will keep this on. Thanks!

Not sure what you mean here.. If the user logs into WP or VB, then they are logged into both.

[laztrix]

My Forum is on a subdomain installed.

Forum adress : http://subdomain.domainname.com
Wordpress adress : http/subdomain.domaniname.com/portal

Forum URL: http://subdomain.domainname.com
Forum Relative Path: /
Database Prefix: There is No ! ( I left it blank )

When I run it for test I got this error:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

I also tried to give the path : /var/www/vhosts/domainname.com/subdomains/forum';

What do I wrong ?

Hmm, that's a new one.. Sounds like you might have a plugin in VB causing the issue, try:

uncomment this line in vbbridge.php:

# define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

[jcodemasters]

thanks, I will test now

[skariko]

Not sure what you mean here.. If the user logs into WP or VB, then they are logged into both.

Sorry you are right :)

I mean when that when you login into Wordpress and press "ok" you are automatically redirect to domain/wp-admin and i don't like it so much :)

[laztrix]

Ok, after that that error disappear.But now, I can not login with my login information altought I did not made any changes.

When I login to Vbulletin and try to reache /wp-admin it says:

You have not enougth privilage to acess this page.

[Jafo232]

WP treats usernames case sensitive, so if logging in via WP, remember that, otherwise, login to VB..

[joeymuk]

Users don't appear to be integrating..

I did the test post wordpress side and it created the thread in vb fine, though when I joined vb the user didn't come to wordpress. Also it appears that there may be a bug because after the "test" post, wordpress had "test" "test" "test".. 3 articles but only one was real and working. (don't know if it's my theme)

Btw I mapped the users in wordpress to the group and followed your steps, not sure why the users aren't going to wp. awesome to see it updated!
~Joey

P.s Would it be possible to provide a few plugins for wordpress, such as logging in, latest posts from vb, etc

P.s.s Sorry how would Insert vb into wordpress? could you add an option for that please or let me know how I can

-edit-

I'm ever so sorry, I'm stupid. I didn't think i would have to click login from the wordpress side. seems users are working fine in wp :)

[laztrix]

I forgot to match the usergroups thats why I couldn't login..

Now it's seems to work fine at all!

I have some dificulties to bind a forum with wordpress but I think I'll figure it out.

Thank you for bringing this super plugin!

[deepmartini]

Hi, will this work the OTHER way around? Say a user registers via Wordpress, then goes to click on vbulletin forum. Will they be transported over via the database? Will they already be logged in? How can I get this plugin to work this way too? I have a wordpress membership site that users must register and signup via. I don't want them to have to sign up again via vbulletin and have duplicate entries. I also don't want to send them to vbulletin to sign up then have them resent back to Wordpress. How can I get this to work from signup on Wordpress and pushed into vbulletin? Many thanks for you help!!! I sincerely appreciate it. Warm Regards, Robert

[deepmartini]

I forgot to mention I am using the latest version of Wordpress 2.71 and latest version of vbulletin. Thanks!

[myHybridcar.com]

Thanks for the update :) I can't seem to figure out what variable to use to get vBulletin login information. The old readme.txt said $vbuser, but that's not right anymore. How can I check if a user is logged in, and if so get their info?

[AzzX]

Hi, will this work the OTHER way around? Say a user registers via Wordpress, then goes to click on vbulletin forum. Will they be transported over via the database? Will they already be logged in?

From Jafo's first post:
2/14/2009

* Rewrote most of the code to tie directly into the VB database for user authentication
* Fixed issue where asterisk would show up in posts.
* If a user exists in VB and in WP, they can now be bridged (VB user takes precedence)
* Users can now login/logout via WP or VB.
* Removed XMLRPC support, sorry all 1 users who ever requested it.
* Fixed code layout
* Rewrote instructions for inline comments.

It would be wise to disable registration in WP and just make the links to registration go to your VB registration.. The bridge does not share registrations in that way. Basically it is ONLY using the VB user tables and ignoring WP. If you deactivate the plugin, it goes back to using Wordpress (and the users that were there before you installed the plugin).

[Jafo232]

Depends, usually if you just globalize the $vbulletin object, then you can use it like always:


global $vbulletin;

echo "Hi there " . $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];

[joeymuk]

Ok, so we are all good here lol?

Yup,

Is there any chances of additional plugins for wordpress? user login, latest posts, who's online etc..
~Joey

P.s how would I go about getting vb inside my wordpress theme?

Thanks!

You can use the WP login already. :)

As for the rest, I will probably be doing that at some point soon, as I have a site that will need it.

As for getting VB into your WP theme, well, that is like asking where can I put nails in my house. :) Depends on where in your house and for what purpose. :P

Once the plugin is activated (auto-integrate), the $vbulletin object should be available to you just about everywhere. Just global $vbulletin; and you have it.

[adairen]

There seems to be a small editing bug:

- make a post in wordpress with a few images
- it shows up in the forum with the images shown
- edit the wordpress post
- images in forum do not show up anymore

any fix?

[adairen]

Also, are those the most updated instructions to use 'vb for comments'? I can't seem to find the comments.php file.

[myHybridcar.com]

Depends, usually if you just globalize the $vbulletin object, then you can use it like always:

Thanks. What about if I want to use $vbulletin variables on a different directory that's in neither my Wordpress or vBulletin directories. Any way to make $vbulletin global there?

[Jafo232]

- make a post in wordpress with a few images
- it shows up in the forum with the images shown
- edit the wordpress post

Yes, I see it now.. I added version 4.01 that should address this issue. Just upload the new vbbridge.php file.

Also, are those the most updated instructions to use 'vb for comments'? I can't seem to find the comments.php file.

I based this off of the default template because, well, there are about a million templates. Some template authors do not use a separate comments.php file. You may have to piece it together into your template. See wp-content/themes/default/comment.php for an example.

[Jafo232]

Thanks. What about if I want to use $vbulletin variables on a different directory that's in neither my Wordpress or vBulletin directories. Any way to make $vbulletin global there?

Sure, include global.php. ;)

[myHybridcar.com]

Sure, include global.php. ;)I tried that. For some reason it would start outputting forum HTML. No idea why. Do you?

[laztrix]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong:

1. The WSIWYG editor dissappear ( Wordpress ) ( Is that normal ? )
2 Altought I type the forum ID, It could not import post into wordpress .

[Captain Tycoon]

Will this change the style of the Wordpress Blog to same one as the forum?

[Fraik]

Just one problem thus far. I use excerpts for my forum comment posting and for some reason the link looks like this:

http://www.middleearthcenter.com/uncategorized/%postname%/

It gets the category right, but it doesn't have the right URL for the post name

Ah, I'm pretty new to vb.

I've found the global.php file, do I just add "$vbulletin;" to it somewhere? If you could provide me with steps I'd really appreciate. (I've never been so lost) lol

Thanks for the response, I noticed but I think an additional plugin for logging in would suite those who don't plan on keeping the normal wp one.

Example

Log In;
User Name
Password
*Remember Me
(Login Button)

Not registered?
Register now!

Forgot your password?

Logged In;
Welcome back ;user

My account
Admin Panel (*)
Mod Cp (*)
Profile
Latest Posts <-- Forum side.. "search.php?do=getnew")

Log Out

Thanks again,

[DDIG]

Sorry you are right :)

I mean when that when you login into Wordpress and press "ok" you are automatically redirect to domain/wp-admin and i don't like it so much :)

This is my problem as well. I want users to be able to log in, but after "OK" I want them to be redirected to Wordpress instead of the admin screen.

Same for logging out of wordpress. This redirects me to the Wordpress Login screen. Instead, after logging out, I want to redirect users to Wordpress instead of to the login screen.

I only want users to receive a logged-in status (both forum and wordpress) when logging into wordpress, and not have them redirect to admin screen. Exactly the same as logging into the forums. That too does *not* redirect a user to the adminscreen. I'd like to have Wordpress function in the same way. Log into wordpress: user is logged into vB and WP, and sees wordpress front-end. Log into vBulletin: user is logged into vB and WP and sees vBulletin front-end. Is this possible?

However, besides that it works great, and I would like to thank you very much for this bridge. Great work, thanks a lot! ;)

[rcadden]

Has anyone tried scheduled posts in Wordpress? I have my site setup so that new posts get published to wordpress, a corresponding forum thread is created, and then the comments from the forum thread are shown in place of the wordpress comments.

With the previous version of this plugin, the scheduled wordpress post would go up, but the corresponding forum thread was never created, thus readers were unable to comment. This was remedied by manually opening the published post and then publishing manually (which defeats the entire purpose of scheduled posts). This is a major issue for me.

Also, when you say you removed XMLRPC support, what does that exactly mean? I know what XMLRPC is, does that meant that if I wrote and published a post using XMLRPC, it would still show in wordpress, but not get a corresponding forum thread created?

[Jafo232]

I tried that. For some reason it would start outputting forum HTML. No idea why. Do you?

No idea. It could be a plugin, you could try adding this code before the include:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

[Jafo232]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong:

1. The WSIWYG editor dissappear ( Wordpress ) ( Is that normal ? )
2 Altought I type the forum ID, It could not import post into wordpress .

Import post INTO wordpress? This plugin does not do that. It will EXPORT a wordpress post to Vbulletin.

I have no idea why your WYSIWYG editor would disappear. Do you have a special non-stock version of the editor installed?

[Jafo232]

Will this change the style of the Wordpress Blog to same one as the forum?

Um, no, no idea on how one would do that..

[Jafo232]

Just one problem thus far. I use excerpts for my forum comment posting and for some reason the link looks like this:

http://www.middleearthcenter.com/uncategorized/%postname%/

It gets the category right, but it doesn't have the right URL for the post name

Hmm, could you do a quick test and see if that happens when you have permalinks off?

[Jafo232]

Ah, I'm pretty new to vb.

In Wordpress, once you have auto-integrated, if you want to use the $vbulletin object, it should be available to you just about anywhere, but you will probably have to globalize the object first:

I think I'm confusing you.

What I mean is how would I achieve this? http://www.poetryartonline.com/forums/ I know this ipb and the two systems are diffrent but with subdreamer it integrates the forum into the sd skin, I'm wondering how I can do the same but with your script. Have my VB forum displayed inside the wordpress theme?

[Fraik]

Hmm, could you do a quick test and see if that happens when you have permalinks off?

It works fine with permalinks off. Perhaps its because I use a custom permalink structure?
/%category%/%postname%/

Yeah, most likely that is a custom mod. These are things outside of the scope of this plugin. Basically from what I see though, they are just making it LOOK like it is inside, but the code is custom.

[Jafo232]

I will try to get some time tonight to look at this. I will let you know what I find. :)

[remotay]

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

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

Yeah, once you switch integration on, it bypasses all of the Wordpress user and authentication processes, so if you want separate admin accounts, then you will have to leave integration off.

[remotay]

I don't plan on using the Vbulletin comments, or posting my Wordpress posts on Vbulletin, so if I turn integration off, Will I still be able to share users? That's the primary thing I want from the plugin.

Thank you for the quick reply. :)

Integration has to be on to share users (that is what integration is :) ). In other words, you can't share just SOME users. It is either all or nothing. :)

I suppose if you edit it a bit you could have it turn the plugin off for certain users from certain IP addresses or other such criteria, but I have not included such code to date.

[laztrix]

Import post INTO wordpress? This plugin does not do that. It will EXPORT a wordpress post to Vbulletin.

I have no idea why your WYSIWYG editor would disappear. Do you have a special non-stock version of the editor installed?

:) My bad, I thought that it works the other way, that post on forum will be shown in wordpress page, sorry for that.

About the other issue, it is a Turkish tranaslation of Wordpress but that shouldn't be a problem, should it ?

It is the standart, identical translation of wordpress ( http://www.wordpress-tr.com/indir/ )

Great plugin! I just tried upgrading (overwriting the previous files) and my admin privileges to my Wordpress back end have been stripped. When i try to go to /wp-admin/ I get the "You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page." error.

I tried logging in as the super admin account I have set up and I still get this error. I'm completely locked out. Any advice?

[RobInjection]

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.

Try re-naming the plugin files via FTP. This should disable the plugin and let you back in...

[RobInjection]

Yea, that works. But then when I try to reactivate it, the same thing happens again.

[Shana]

Yeah, how would you reset all the settings? You should put that in your readme, btw, lol.

[Jafo232]

Yea, that works. But then when I try to reactivate it, the same thing happens again.

It sounds to me like you did not map users first? Remember, you are logging in as your VBULLETIN admin user, not Wordpress. As long as the plugin is active, it uses the VBulletin user info.

If you want to map users after the fact it is little involved (which is why I make a point of it in the readme :) ). You need to edit the options table and set the vbion variable to 0.

If I get some time here tonight or tomorrow, I will try to write up a script to reset the script so you can activate it again and start over.

[Shana]

You never mentioned that the users would remove the admin account, lol.

[Jafo232]

You never mentioned that the users would remove the admin account, lol.

Remove the admin account? No accounts are removed, they are replaced. When you disable the plugin, the users are still there.

[Shana]

The admin account shouldn't be replaced under any circumstances, it's the original and has all the settings / permissions, no? I put all users as 'regular users' assuming the admin account would be there. I cannot disable the plugin and re-enable it as the settings are still there.

It would be nice if the admin account stayed while the others were imported.

[RobInjection]

I had the plugin working fine before. Then I upgraded and it took away my WP access. I did not see any instructions to re-map users when upgrading :(

Unfortunately, the Wordpress engine is not built that way. If you read a couple posts back, I show you how to disable the settings.

[RobInjection]

Woohoo, thanks for the tip about editing my database. I got it working.

Now my question is, is there any way I can call the user's avatar and their User ID within Wordpress? Then, this would be bliss!

Thanks

[Jafo232]

You do not have to remap users. Are you sure you are logging in with a VB user that is an administrator?

[Jafo232]

Woohoo, thanks for the tip about editing my database. I got it working.

Now my question is, is there any way I can call the user's avatar and their User ID within Wordpress? Then, this would be bliss!

Yes, you can. Make sure $vbulletin is global (global $vbulletin;) then:

<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">

Or if you mean the article AUTHORS avatar:

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

[RobInjection]

Awesome thanks.

I just noticed that all my users have been mapped to be Administrators.

This is really weird, because in the settings page the only Users that I set to map to anything were Admins to Admins.

Did I do something wrong?

[RobInjection]

Just to add to what I posted above,

All of my Wordpress users have been remapped. The plugin is causing WP to remap usernames to user IDs, resulting in all my post authors being changed.When I search for a user in WP the result would be a different user who is now occupying the 1st users previous ID.

Any idea why this is happening?

[AzzX]

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

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

Thanks.

[RobInjection]

Can you explain to me where I should declare the global $vbulletin?

I put this code into my comments section and it didn't work. It didnt grab any vB references.


<?php global $vbulletin; ?>

<?php echo $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] ?>'s

<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">

[remotay]

Another serious issue, Perhaps it's because I'm upgrading....

Upon enabling the new version of the Vbulletin bridge, ALL of my Wordpress users show as 'administrator' on wordpress. I have them mapped to become 'subscribers'. The only users mapped to be admins are Administrators.... I Had to disable the plugin for security purposes. Ugh >_>. Any suggestions on getting this to work properly now...?

If I upload vbbridge.php from the previous bridge vbbridgeIII the wysiwyg visual editor is fine and users are displayed properly in wp-admin. I have also tried the default Wordpress theme to see if this was an issue.

[Shaliza]

I'm way too scared to upgrade now, lol. I got this working perfectly from the 3.7 post before!

[laztrix]

If I upload vbbridge.php from the previous bridge vbbridgeIII the wysiwyg visual editor is fine and users are displayed properly in wp-admin. I have also tried the default Wordpress theme to see if this was an issue.

I had the same issue when I set up the bridge.

So I tried something else:

I configured a working blog of mine that already has posts, comments and users for the blog that I want to bridge with Vbulletin.

As soon as I activate the bridge all the pages went blank!

I had to delete the plugin files to get it normal again. But this time when I upload the same files, wordpress goes blank.

Can anyone help me out with that !

[wmlvb]

great mod. will difidnitly look into this more

Can you tell me is there a wordpress addon that not just RSS feed titles, but actually puts Characters of most recent post from certain forums.

[skariko]

Do you know how can i have the link to logout with VBulletin link, using global $vbulletin?

[Fraik]

I am having a serious problem with the upgrade from the old to the new version. All of the old accounts that I had given a role have different names in the admin area. However people can log-in with their old permissions fine. It just doesn't seem to have their name right in several areas.

In the users listing, all my users have a role of "administrator" in the "ALL" tab. However, there are only 8 administrators in the "Administrator" role-tab. These administrators do have the wrong names though.

I was thinking perhaps I should delete all wordpress accounts save for a root admin account I can use? Then re-activate the plugin and re-map all the users?

Also the WYSIWYG editor is disabled for some reason.

[laztrix]

Also the WYSIWYG editor is disabled for some reason.

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

[skariko]

Yes, you can. Make sure $vbulletin is global (global $vbulletin;) then:

<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">

Or if you mean the article AUTHORS avatar:

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

I tried this but the link that i have is:

http://www.czeta.it/forum//image.php?u=&amp;dateline=1234825805

without the number of the user. (it takes all the other variables like vbb_VBURL and other so i think that there's somthing wrong on user_id)

edit: i've solved it making this:

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

i don't know if it is right.. but it works to me :P

[Shana]

Unfortunately, the Wordpress engine is not built that way. If you read a couple posts back, I show you how to disable the settings.

Could you please explain how we would disable and enable the plugin with the settings reset? I can't find it.

[AzzX]

I think Jafo was looking into doing a script that does this.
I just renamed the vbbridge.php file and deleted the plugin references in the wordpress database via phpmyadmin.

[WorkerB]

Hello - great bit of code here. Nicely done. Worked right out of the box.

I am having one small problem regarding whenever I try to insert an image into a post in Wordpress. In the status bar at the bottom I see multiple requests/responses flying back and forth and then nothing - the usual image insert window never pops up.

This got me thinking - maybe I can try inserting an image another way, so I go back to Wordpress dashboard and I click on the "Media" selection on the left. Shortly thereafter, Firefox cancels the request and displays a warning:

Redirect Loop
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

I thought this was.... strange. The next thing I did was rename vbbridge.php to vbbridge.php.old and then again, clicked on "Media" in the dashboard and all was well again.

The link that "Media" is hooked up to is:
/wp-admin/upload.php
and looking in there I see lots of code that performs a wp_redirect...

I'm on signed in as an Administrator on Wordpress 2.7.0 with a fresh install of VB 3.8.1 and this latest Add-on. Any ideas? Thank you, much appreciated!

[WorkerB]

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

[laztrix]

I have silimar issues witht the visual editor.

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

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

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

[WorkerB]

Some additional info -

Looking around in vbbridge.php, near the top I see:

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

and

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

which looks like its bailing out of the script if either of these two .php files is being parsed. I commented them both out and was able to get into the media gallery, but uploading an image from a post had bizzare results - a warning popped - clicking OK, go ahead - a new Wordpress dashboard was placed inside of where I normally choose the image to upload.

[AzzX]

How is your Users list in wp-admin displaying as WorkerB? All my users show as nothing, just checkboxes.

In the Table wp_options there should be 20 odd entries for this bridge. If you are using phpmyadmin select the table wp_options, click browse, show 800 records from 0 and search for vbb (F3 in Firefox)

Hey, and thank's for upgrade this mod ;)
But i can't us this because my forum it's under a subdomain forum.plop.fr and my site on www.plop.fr.
How can i fix the cookies bug ? it's possible ?

Thank you.

[WorkerB]

Hey there - mine are not. My Wordpress Users lists is also showing all blanks with the odd user as an Administrator. Unfortunately, I've had to disable the bridge for the time being.

I think I am seeing what others are seeing as well:

visual editor strangeness
user list showing up with blanks
users showing up as Administrator in WP

[tjpeople]

Thanks again, Jafo232.

I heavily customised the WordPress template code you used in the older version, I have updated the plug ins, but not changed any code. Things still seem to be working? Is this what should happen, or do I have to update the template code? What am I missing using the old code?

Did you fix the bug I reported?
Bug Report: "soft deleted" Post replies/comments in vb still show up in wordpress

Many thanks.

Jafo: You can add my site if you wish http://www.malcolminthemiddle.co.uk/

[rcadden]

I'm glad I read the comments before giving this one a go - I'm not having any major issues with the old version and WP2.7 and vB3.8, so I think I'll sit tight for now.

Anyone who has this plugin fully working, could you test something for me? Write your post, and then schedule it to go live a few minutes later. Wait for it to go live, and check a few things:

1. The wordpress post should go up properly.
2. Did the corresponding forum thread get created?
3. Assuming you replaced your wordpress comments with the forum comments, does this show at the bottom of the wordpress post?

Thanks so much.

[remotay]

Take a look,

http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/9984/alladminsdw0.jpg

I can't seem to fix this problem, no matter what I do, all the accounts are shown as admin on my wordpress user page, but the page CLEARLY shows there only 4 admins on the top, but still makes everyone an admin.

I'm going back to the older version for now. Perhaps the screenie will help clear things up

Remotay, what setup are you on? I'm on WP 2.7, VB 3.8.1.

I have the same problem of you. :)

[GoodOmens]

I have the same problem of you. :)

I have this issue as well. Turning off integration reverts everything back to normal.

Anyone find a fix?

Seems to be a upgrade issue and not a new install issue.

[Mr. Mooney]

Hi,

I just installed the mod and am having some issues. First of all, when I change any settings I get this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php:132) in /home/site/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 698

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php:132) in /home/site/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 699

The second issue is that when I make a post, it normally chops off a line when posting. For instance, if I post:

"Test line one

Test line two

Test line three"

The actual post will show as:

"Test line one
Test line two"

Any help would be appreciated.:)

Thanks!

[laztrix]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Does it always have to be a clean installation ?

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

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

[Jafo232]

Hey everyone, I haven't forgotten you all, I am just swamped with work. I will get a chance this weekend to look at all your posts.

Just a quick skim through here and I see questions about wordpress users. Note, wordpress users are NOT relevant when you install the plugin and activate integration. Looking at your users in the Wordpress admincp is pointless. All user info is based off of VBULLETIN, not wordpress.

[GoodOmens]

Username is not being posted to the main page posts ... just the url to the username so I know vbridge is not empty. IE $vbridge['postusername'] doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Check out LineageJunkies.com (http://www.lineagejunkies.com) for an example and "view source" to see that the proper url is being echo'd.

I did the code replacement to the new author code.

I also have the visual editor problem ....

Edit:

I reverted back to the old code because of the visual editor problem.

[logiik]

Hey, I just got this plugin installed today. Are the users from my wordpress site supposed to show up in the vBulletin memberslist as well?

I'm having the same problem as others above where looking at the users in wordpress, their names don't show up at all and trying to edit it returns an "invalid user" message.

[logiik]

Ahem.......

Yeah I understand that part. So do the users get moved over to vBulletin or will they have to re-register on vBulletin? I tried logging into the forums with an account from wordpress and that didn't work but it worked for accounts created from the forum.

[GoodOmens]

Wordpress with this plugin (4.x) uses Vbulletin users and the vbulletin database... it no longer will use the wordpress database at all.

You can try and see if a wordpress user is in vbulletin by requesting a new password (enter email etc ... or just search for the user in the vbulletin user list).

I do know that the passwords between the two systems are incompatible and will need to be reset if imported.

If the user doesn't exist then he will have to re-register or you can try and import the users yourself.

[Jafo232]

No passwords are imported at all.. Basically when you turn on integration, the WP user table goes dead and nothing really touches it until you turn integration off.

[logiik]

Ah ok, makes sense now. I'm just gonna manually move the users over :) Great plugin btw.

if i undestand.. the vbridge III make a 'copy' of the users on Wordpress.. instead this new version doensn't make a copy of the users but take all the information on vbulletin.. is it right?

[skariko]

Ah ok, makes sense now. I'm just gonna manually move the users over :) Great plugin btw.

lol, it is a great idea but i have 2,621 users.... :D

[AzzX]

Impex can do this from wordpress from memory :)

[GoodOmens]

Impex can do this from wordpress from memory :)

I could be wrong but I think you need the vbulletin blog installed to use Impex for a wordpress migration.

[deepmartini]

It would be great if this mod could go the other way too. Sending Wordpress users into vbulletin. Most people use Wordpress as a frontend and the vbulletin forums as just a part of the website. I don't know of any sites that use vbulletin as a front end and wordpress as just a page or part of their site.

Is it possible to make this mod, so you can select sending wordpress users into vbulletin or vbulletin into wordpress?

Wordpress users into vbulletin is what most people are looking for and the market for this mod is HUGE. I know many people who would even be willing to pay a decent amount for a mod like this, instead of having custom coding done.

Please consider making this mod or adding the functionality into this one. Many thanks!

Robert

[mercuryyy]

First Off all Great Plugin, I'd defently Donate it i get it working.

I got 2 I issue.

The first is: I'm running a video Blog so all my Content posts look something like this:

<embed src="http://www.*****.com/stream/player.swf" width="610" height="414" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="config=http://www.******.com/flv/anime.php?id=v175135976ARE3ems"></embed>

When saving a post on wordpress it works and it's saving the post in the forums but the problem is it's not showing any HTML text at all, (Not only does my vbullten cant read HTML in post but it dosnt even show the html code from the wordpress post it comes blank)

When i use plain text is seems to be OK.

The Second issue is that i have 15,000+ Posts and i'd like them all to be published in the forum is there a sql command i can execute to do so without taking to much load out of the server.

I'v been looking for answers for the past 5 hours, but only found parshell possibilites and at older version.

I run Wordpress 2.7 and VB 3.7.3

Thanks Again

And Have a great Day.

I'm in the same boat as this guy, and as much as I like this plugin and appreciate the work put into it that I wouldn't have the faintest idea where to even start with, it's a bit of a negative for people who use Wordpress for their entire front end. I'm not suggesting compromising the current coding for the sake of making it work, but if anyone knows of any proper way to reverse the process so that theoretically you can close vB registration and have the front-end registration used to create an account on vB too (and Linkin Park's website does this so I know it's do-able - although that isn't Wordpress, admittedly) then I may just have to give sexual favours for the rest of my existence to the genius who can do it.

[sung]

Just installed this and for the most part it works. Test post properly posted to the forums and users are already logged in for comments in Wordpress.

However, there are some wonky things that other people have documented in this thread.

1) The following whenever a change is made:

Hi,

I just installed the mod and am having some issues. First of all, when I change any settings I get this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php:132) in /home/site/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 698

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php:132) in /home/site/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 699


This shows up but the changes end up getting made.

2) Visual Editor is gone
3) Permalinks using any kind of custom structure do not work.

Look forward to seeing some fixes. Great work otherwise.

[Mr. Mooney]

Everything is working fine now except for one thing. When I make a post with multiple paragraphs, everything is posted as one paragraph. Do you know what would cause this.

Example: I post

Paragraph 1.

Paragraph 2.

It posts:

Paragraph 1. Paragraph 2.

[Reynaldovb]

Hey Jafo232:

Thanks for this nice plugin. It seems to be working except for one thing, when a post is created through WP and posted to a VB forum, the text is incorrectly posted as ISO-8859-1 while the title is posted as UTF-8.
Everything in my forum is set to UTF-8 (DB collation, tables collation, columns, the languages and the HTML Charset Set).
Only workaround i found was to change line 162 of vbbridge.php from:
$_POST['content'] = fetch_censored_text(utf8_decode($_POST['content']));

to:
$_POST['content'] = fetch_censored_text($_POST['content']);

Any ideas why this is happening? It doesn't make sense to me that it is happening for the post content and not for the title.

Additionally, is there a way to be able to use the %author% variable in the permalink? I would like to have my permalinks set to something like: %author%/%postname%/
so users feel like they have their own little corner of the blog.

I need ISO-8859-9 encoding normally UTF-8 would cover that.
When I activate the plugin the content charachter set corrupts. I did the changes you did but this time the permalinks charachter corrupts.

Visual editor is gone too!

[dieslcruisrhead]

Excellent work and agreed very good plugin!

I'm having the same issues as everyone else. THe WSYG editor, the "cant publish to header" errors, and the error listed above. Otherwise it looks excellent and nice work!

I won't mind reinstalling it if a new version comes out, it is *so* easy to implement. Also, mine is following the usergroups perfectly - that aspect is working perfectly.

Much appreciated!

[Pirat3]

Also does this have any affect with the newest WP version which was released a few days ago?

Same problem

[rcadden]

I'm still using the previous version, with WP2.7 and vB3.8, and I actually turned the user integration off, as I don't have any need to have WP users.

My front page is the wordpress, where I publish new posts, etc. I've replaced the WP comments with vBulletin comments, so there's no need for anyone (other than authors and admin) to login to Wordpress at all.

This works great, except for that pesky scheduled posts bug, which no one has commented on. If you're a blogger and *not* using scheduled posts, you're missing out on a big time productivity helper. Can anyone (preferably the dev) comment on this scheduled posts issue?

[Jafo232]

I doubt I will ever get scheduled posts to work. Sorry for that, but the fact is, I never use them, and I just don't have to time to add/support every little possible addon feature people want.

[Jafo232]

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

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

You're doing a great job Jafo232. And I'm sure everyone aprreciates all the work of yours.

I don't know if someone has noticed that yet but when you turn the auto integration on also all the changes you have made in the layout setting in wordpress admin backend they gets lost too.

I hope there is a logical explanation for it.

[Jafo232]

Ok, I have updated the software. Here are some changes:
Fixed issue where rich text editor was not being displayed
Fixed issue where permalinks were not working properly
Fixed issue where paragraphs where not converting
Added reset script so admin can turn off integration if locked out
Made user menu go to VB Admincp
Added setting for users with UTF-8 forums.Also, VB plugins are by default disabled when included into wordpress. This does NOT affect plugins on your forum. The bridge will include an instance of VB when integration is on. It used to be that occasionally a VB product might cause issues with the bridge and you could manually turn them off in the Wordpress instance. I have changed this so users have to turn it on if there was ever such a need (I doubt it).

[Mr. Mooney]

Thank you so much Jafo, it works perfectly now on my forum!!!

[Mr. Mooney]

Just a quick question. What would I need to do to setup the blog like this site:

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/?p=4070

I like the way it says XX comments on the forum, for each article, and gives a link to the forum page.

Thanks!

[laztrix]

I uploaded the files to the plugin directory.
Activated the plugin and select the UTF-8 Option.

The Visual Editor Came Back This time No Problem! But still having Charachter problems in content posting!

And after posting the post page goes blank !

I uploaded the files to the plugin directory.
Activated the plugin and select the UTF-8 Option.

The Visual Editor Came Back This time No Problem! But still having Charachter problems in content posting!

And after posting the post page goes blank !

What encoding have you set in your Wordpress setup? Something seems wrong on your end here, because there is no reason for this plugin to do what you show on the map users page. The UTF-8 option really only comes into play when it has to DECODE it.

Hi Jafo - thank you for all your hard work on this. I just donated you some $$ on this as well, really good work and great plugin...

FYI though I am still getting an error. When I save under Settings > vBridge settings it kicks out this error. Otherwise it seems to be working excellently...

[Reynaldovb]

Jafo232:

Thanks for the last version update.
You forgot to answer my posts. Is there a way to be able to use the name of the author in the permalink?
Normally in WP you can use %author% to add the author's name to the permalink, any way to populate that variable?

[laztrix]

Wordpress CP -> Settings -> Reading -> "Encoding for pages and feeds".. What do you have there?

[RobInjection]

I tried this but the link that i have is:

http://www.czeta.it/forum//image.php?u=&amp;dateline=1234825805

without the number of the user. (it takes all the other variables like vbb_VBURL and other so i think that there's somthing wrong on user_id)

edit: i've solved it making this:

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

i don't know if it is right.. but it works to me :P


This returns the author of the post's avatar.

When I tried the previous method, it was not picking up my user's avatar, instead getting an image not found. When I looked at the image url, I saw that the user ID is not being generated. Any ideas? This would be extremely helpful.

Not sure what you "fixed" but it seems to have broken something. Looks to me that your path is not right to Vbulletin, but all of that depends on what you "fixed".

Thank you for your reply. I meant the permalink issue which still persists, you know the one where Wordpress doesnt have any value to assign to the %author% variable in the permalink. Right now it is populated with an empty value.

[aparatchik]

no idea if this is possible, but it would be cool to be able to assign a forum ID for each individual WP post. I don't necessarily want to drop them all in the same forum...

[remotay]

Another small issue, even though i was told to ignore the 'users' area of wordpress.

All of my post's authors show as random users on the forum! I tried logging into one of my users accounts to see if they can edit MY wordpress posts as it showed them as admin, but thankfully, they can't. It still bothers me that I see THEM as the authors of MY wordpress posts. I disabled the show author portion of my posts, but it would be nice for this small issue to be worked out. I'd be happy to donate to the author of this plugin when it gets tweaked a bit more.

I Do appreciate all the hard work put into this plugin, and I understand this isn't your 'job', so I don't expect immediate results. Vbulletin is such a great piece of software, only because of the coders who put their time, effort and energy into making great plugins. In that regard, Thank you Jafo232 =).

I just looked into it.. I doubt that any time soon I could make this ready for authors names in the permalink, sorry.. I can rewrite it to included the right username, however, it is rather obfuscated in the code, all the places I would have to add filters to remove the author from the URL on the backend.

I think this is a bit outside the scope of this product. However, you can globalize the $vbulletin object once integration is on. What you do with it, well, there are no limits.

If your question is "Will you show me how to do X", then I have to say I am sorry, I have very limited time for such things.

Yeah, I cannot guarantee this thing to play nice with other Wordpress plugins. It may or may not..

[remotay]

It works with all of my plugins except NextGen gallery. The older version seemed to work fine with it. NextGen gallery is the most popular WP Plugin out there, would be great to see this looked at in future versions.

Thank you again for all your hard work on the plugin, it is appreciated!

[glowinggal]

can you still use your nextgen gallery or it just won't let you upload? did your nextgen gallery completely stop working when it was enabled? we are looking into this integration for our new site design but our new site DOES use the nextgen gallery on the home page.

[remotay]

Nextgen gallery works, but you CANNOT upload new pictures. I can create gallerys but I can't physically upload the pictures into them. This is with the latest version of the Vbulletin Bridge plugin.

[vbplusme]

Yeah, I cannot guarantee this thing to play nice with other Wordpress plugins. It may or may not..

I'd be thrilled if it just played nice with WordPress but frankly WordPress doesn't play nice with anything including itself.

I have been using this bridge since before version III and I ALWAYS have to clean up a mess that WP makes and at this point I am pretty sure its a WP quirk that makes it so that every post that the bridge makes has to be cleaned up because of how the database is stored in WP.

I just posted a very small article that was originally a post in vBulletin. When I copied it into WP the stripped ALL the formatting including line feeds so that I had to manually reformat the whole document in WP. When I posted it, I had to reformat the forum post again to put the code blocks back and strip out all the escapes that it added for double quotes.

You have my deepest respect for being able to make it work as well as it does Jafo.

Thanks for you effort.

If you have any suggestions about how to get a "standardized" post in WP and Forum, I would be really appreciative.

TIA, Michael

just checked my site and i'm getting this error now for some reason:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_userdatabylogin() in /home/***/public_html/wp-content/plugins/functions_vbbridge.php on line 3

[GoodOmens]

The following code in the author code does not work:

$vbridge['postusername']

If you look at the function your not returning anything called 'postusername':

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


Am I missing something?

[GoodOmens]

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

Changed in vbbridge.php

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


to

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


and

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


to

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


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

Changed:

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

to

if (function_exists('Comment_Handler')) {

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

if (function_exists('Comment_Handler')) {

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

global $vbulletin;
}

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

Hmm, I may have written that wrong in the readme:

<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"

Still having the same problem of the userid not being generated. I looked in the readme instructions and I noticed that section was if I wanted to replace the Wordpress commenting system with vB comments. I do not want to do this. First off, I dont sync my blog posts with vB forum posts, just the users.

And, all I want to do on the Wordpress side, within the Wordpress comments is have the user avatar show up, as well as link to their profile pages. Is this possible?

Right now this is all I dump in, and it doesnt generate a user id:

<? global $vbulletin; ?>
<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">

Guys I spend 2 weeks to integrate wordpress with vbulletin with no success!

I'm running a Turkish Forum Platform.

When I post something while the bridge is on, the post content corrupts in vbulletin.

Images, charachters like ş,ç,ö,ü,ı are not shown properly.

Please help me aut if I did pass something:

-I tried to post while the UTF8 option was on and out,
-It was told that maybe the installation of wordpress itself was causing this so I did it with the official setup of wordpress = same old same !

neither the UFT8 changing was succesfull nor installing the offical wordpress installation.

What can I do to solve this problem ?

[Chirag patel]

Figure it out. Sorry :(

[Chirag patel]

How do you turn off the user page completely for all users in wordpress so that they will not go at all to wp-admin/ at all and if they do type that then they automatically go directly to the profile page in the forum?

Also how do you make the comment box only to show up for vbulletin users (or subscribers) only?

[Chirag patel]

This doesn't work for me either. Running vB 3.8 with WP 2.7.1, and all it does is go to a blank white page after I click the Publish button in WP and does not post to vB from WP..
Check the plug-in it might be still off.

All worked to me but yesterday i had to clear all the cache of my browsers... and now the media upload doesn't work.
With Firefox it just keeps loading it infinitely, on IE7 it give an 404 error.

Jafo, try to delete all the cache of your browser to see this issue. :)

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

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_userdatabylogin() (previously declared in /home/celeb/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php:166) in /home/celeb/public_html/wp-content/plugins/functions_vbbridge.php on line 33

I need a way to use existing wordpress userbase, and have them able to log into vbulletin using it. New registers can register to wordpress.

anyone try this?

[LD1]

i've got a huge vbulletin user database: Threads: 120,188, Posts: 2,187,280, Members: 15,743, Active Members: 5,583

want to start up a frontend using wordpress -- is this a good solution?

would i just install wordpress, then this plugin?

[Brakkish]

Installed simple and easy.

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

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

Okay, I am getting a few bugs which I'd just like to report:
- I am getting the same problem with parsing links as above, displaying http://ahref>forum for example.


Same bug here!.

[webBoi]

First, let me say this mod is awesome! I'm so appreciative of all the hard work!

The problem I'm having I saw reported previously but it was dismissed, I think mistakenly. Or I'm just not understanding something.

All of my post's authors show as random users on the forum!

To which Jafo responded:

Did you see in the readme about how to replace "the_author()"?

I am having the same problem as remotay. But it's not "random," of course. Recently "imported" vB users are showing up in place of WP users with the same ID#. As soon as I "auto-interate" -- even while everything seems to be working fine... -- my the_author() values become vBulletin impostors!

I have replaced my the_author() calls with the recommended code from the readme, but that doesn't make any difference. The problem appears to be that WP is drawing user values from the wrong table!

Now, I *know* I'm missing something obvious, but it's 6:46am and I just can't figure this out. Help would be greatly appreciated...

Is there any way to import already registered Wordpress users into vB?

[killswitch]

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

How about a solution already?

[getfitatl]

I've got a newly installed wordPress v2.7.1 site and a newly purchased 3.8.1 vBulletin board I'm trying to integrate. Per the instructions I do the following:

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

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

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

Attempt to log in and am no longer unable to as none of my WordPress accounts work. So before proceeding to "delete or rename the vbbridge.php file and that will deactivate the plugin" I figured I'd check here to see if this is still necessary. What do I do afterwards? Do I start over or is there a fix? :erm:
I am able to log into vBulletin with my admin account but I'm unsure of how to access WordPress from here. Did I miss something in the instructions?

Any responses appreciated.

[AzzX]

@ getfitatl: Log in with you vb admin in wp-admin :)

[vbplusme]

@ getfitatl: Log in with you vb admin in wp-admin :)

That's how it works for me too. Once I configure per the instructions, the current logged in vbuser is the one that comes up automatically logged into wordpress. I think that's how it was designed to work.

[vbplusme]

Is there any way to import already registered Wordpress users into vB?

I may be wrong but I don't think the bridge works that way. My experience is that it goes from vb to wp and not the opposite way. I think that's a different integration that hasn't been done that I know.

[vbplusme]

Anybody have a guess why wordpress is stripping backslashes out of the document? Randomly, I just noticed that when I publish, the backslashes in the "path" examples I am using are all stripped out. I doubt that its the bridge but have no idea now?

[getfitatl]

Ok so where do I go from there? It's like going in through the back door but not being able to see through the house. How do I get access to WordPress? All I see is the board which isn't integrated into WordPress yet. From reading through the previous post the script doesn't integrate so as of right now a user doesn't see the pages or the rest of the site. Do I remove the Register option from the front page and have users register through vBulletin? If so how do they access the rest of the site? I wasn't able to log in with my existing WordPress accounts is that because they didn't exist in vBulletin? Is this "common knowledge? If so where's the documentation covering this so that I can read through it?

So as it stands right now I should:

Perform the integration again, or rename the vbbridge file back to what it is.
Once I do this check to make sure that the vBulletin account is logged in to the board.
???

Any responses appreciated.

[karlm]

A silly question, perhaps, but does WP have to be installed into the same database as vb - or can it use seperates?

[getfitatl]

I don't think they share databases; at least that's what I experienced when I performed my installs:
1. I installed Wordpress first into it's own database.
2. Installed vBulletin into it's own database.
3. Uploaded the integration files and configured them per the instructions.

You log into wordpress using your vbulletin admin users. If you are an admin in vb, login to your forum and simply got to your Wordpress admin area - example: www.yourdomain/wp-admin

Your existing Wordpress users will be disabled whilst the bridge is active.

[vbplusme]

A silly question, perhaps, but does WP have to be installed into the same database as vb - or can it use seperates?

Actually, I don't think its a silly question at all. I have using this bridge product for a long time and while I can't find a specific requirement that WP and vB be in the same database, that is how I have always run them. All the "integration" that I have ever worked with in other products had all the integrated products installed in the same database. So, I just naturally install them together, kind of autopilot I guess. HTH.

[robertjandreu]

No you don't I run them with different databases

[vbplusme]

I understand, but like I said, I am on autopilot about doing integrations. I just see it as an unnecessary complication to run them in separate databases though I wholeheartedly agree that you don't need to run them together.

[dieslcruisrhead]

I am very happy with it but I have one issue that is happening with it. It is the photo/database load function in wordpress.

Unfortunately this is crippling for me as I really really like the bridge and otherwise it works excellently/perfectly.

Any thoughts appreciated. I read through but didn't see if or where this was addressed other than other people reporting the same problem. Thanks! Andre

[Jafo232]

Hi all, I have been working on this when I get a spare few minutes during the week. I hope to release an update this weekend to address all the current issues..

[crazlunatic]

Hi. If you're running this plugin on your site, could you please give us a link to show what it looks like?

The demos in the OP's message show a toned down version of the comments. Seems like the ability to thread and reply comments are gone.
Thanks

I have the same problem. When the bridge is active, I can't upload any images to my posts. Also, the "Feature Content Gallery"-plugin doesn't work with Firefox when the bridge is active. I guess it also clashes with the photo load function. I really hope there is a solution coming for this, because I really love the bridge otherwise!

[twistedsymphony]

I'm running this on my site http://collectorsedition.org... actually I'm running the version for 3.7 and I'm debating whether I should upgrade or not.

I found some bugs in the old pluging that were causing things to not work right, I fixed them and then other aspects of the plugin that were dormant because of the errors now started firing and THEY had some errors... I eventually sat down and went through line by line fixing all the syntax errors I found and everything works great...

I even added a few features that I wanted that weren't included (like support for PAGES as well as posts)

there is one issue I have though and if this is fixed in the new version then It will be worth it for me to upgrade.

if I publish a post in WP it creates a post in vB just fine... everything as desired...

HOWEVER if I edit that post again in WP and re-save it... it will update the vB post BUT it will break all of the image URLS going from proper urls like: "http://mysite.com/uploads/2009/03/imagefile.jpg" and replacing them all with: "http://mysite.com/wp-admin/" it does this for all images... and it has done this before I even modified a single line of code in the plugin so I know it's nothing I changed...

This is quite annoying since I post a lot of pictures (most of my posts are a few lines of text followed by 20 or so pictures)... so if I go back to fix a minor typo I have to edit the vB post and fix all of the image links...

Is this fixed in the new version?

[myHybridcar.com]

I'm using the previous version because of the bugs in the new one. However, I realized that members in my "registered users" usergroup are able to access my Wordpress Dashboard! They are properly mapped and should not be able to do this. Does the problem exist in the new version?

[b-roll]

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

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

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

Thanks in advance...

I'm sorry I'm so new to this, I have a blog www.comeboca.com and i want to install a vbulletin forum on a separate page....i bought the licence for vbulletin but i havent installed it yet because i dont know if it'll interfere with my wordpress blog....can someone please explain to me how to go about installing vbulletin into a separate page(tab) on my blog... like: Home | vbulletin forum | contact | site map etc

You would just install vb into a seperate directory like "forums" and link to it via a wordpress page or category. Like the community menu I have on www.ozsource.org.

[getfitatl]

Ok so I rename the file back to vbbridge.php, log in to the vBulletin admin panel as an admin, open another browser and navigate to http://mysite.com/wp-admin which takes me to the Wordpress Dashboard. Now I'm dizzy with confusion. From this point how do I, or my users, access Wordpress? I hear you when you say that existing WordPress users don't get used but what about the rest of the site? I'm guessing it's made available to my vB users via the integration instead? If so then are they logged in to WordPress the same as I am? If so am I suppose to create a link to their WordPress profile or do they now use their vB profile? Is there a separate hack or mod that allows vB to sit within the WordPress header and footer or does it have to appears as a link off the front page?
Is there another round of documentation on this so that I don't feel like I'm asking "simple" questions?

Any responses appreciated.

[getfitatl]

Nice site AzzX and it looks as though you have it sitting between the header and footer? If you link it as a page is there piece of code to add it like you'd do say the WordPress event calendar, [wpcalendar]? If not then how do you add this to the page?

Any responses appreciated

I have updated this version to address the following issues:

* Fixed issue where media manager would break

* Fixed issue were users would not have certain capabilities

* Addressed issue where slashes would be in the title in the VB forum

I think its not the "dashboard" you think it is if you are thinking that its that admin dashboard. I check this the other day and its the members WP account not the admin.

[mercuryyy]

Hi Jafo232 Thanks for another update, i keep checking every few days as i'm really depented on your plugin :)

I got this issue were users who add / edit new posts to my site sometimes get database errors and i also keep getting emails like this:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM user WHERE userid = '1';

MySQL Error : MySQL server has gone away
Error Number : 2006
Request Date : Friday, March 6th 2009 @ 08:41:32 PM
Error Date : Friday, March 6th 2009 @ 08:41:50 PM
Script : http://www.****.com/search/anime Episode 1 english dubbed
Referrer : http://www.*****.com/
IP Address : 69.120.152.47
Username : Unregistered
Classname : vB_Database
MySQL Version :



SELECT * FROM user WHERE userid = '1';
this line keeps randomly changing the userid between the users who has editor access.

I still didnt apply the latest update, and i also run VB 3.7 do you think i should upgrade to 3.8 ?

[Jafo232]

The error here is:

"MySQL Error : MySQL server has gone away"..

So either there is a query going on that is timing out the server (disable hooks inside vbbridge.php (see code for details)) or there is an issue with your MySQL server and it may need a restart.

[AsianKid]

Thank you so much! I will donate when I have the chance to. :)

Thanks. :)

[laztrix]

This plugin drives me crazy! I have been trying to integrate wordpress with vbulletin for almost 3 weeks! All the problems remains: - Error when trying to use wordpress media ( can not add images via .. ) - Post are not rendered properly to vbulletin ( images get corrupted!) - Charachter errors ( my forum uses ISO-5889-9 encoding while wordpress uses utf-8 ) I'm starting to give up, has anyone a better idea, shout!

[maipoman]

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

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

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

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

[Jafo232]

I have no idea why it doesn't work with that plugin.

I have the same problem

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

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

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


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

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

What's problem ?

Thank's for your answer

[skymac]

Still same issues here, no changes :(

[rcadden]

Jafo232 - I really appreciate your work thus far, and the last few updates. However, I'm still hesitant to update to this latest version, as the previous one is working fine for me on WP2.7 and vB 3.8. My biggest issue is still scheduled posting.

For whatever reason, scheduled posts in Wordpress don't get published to the forum, and it's absolutely maddening. Can you offer any support in this arena? It's a major feature, as we previously scheduled ~80-90% of our posts on my site (http://www.symbian-guru.com, for those interested in seeing the full integration). Now, we're forced to manually publish stuff, and it's increasingly inconvenient. Thanks.

[Pirat3]

Updated latest version, only problem now I see is that when you post a URL/LINK in text format (http://www.google.com)... it does not show properly on vb post.
