Articles posted to vB using Wordpress/CMS

[SoHelpMe]

Hello,
I have had a forum for a while and it has mainly been Q&A centric but as would be expected over time a lot of the same questions pop up and at different times the answer quality is better or worse depending who answers and how much time they have. For that reason I want to start autoring some articles that I can post to answer some of the FAQ type questions. I have no experience with CMS and a little with Wordpress and was wondering which direction most users would suggest I go at this point. Are there any add-on's/plug-ins to write a post in wordpress and sync/send it over to vB CMS? I would love some people to chime in and went down the road of articles on their vB page and hear what your experiences and recomendations would be.

Thanks.:o

In my opinion they have different uses. The vBulletin CMS is obviously more tightly integrated with the vBulletin permission system, that has advantages to my users for quick controlled content among many members. We love it as an event system for the community.

WordPress is one of the vessels we use an external CMS to the outside world. We use it pretty much as a read-only system, except comments. The comment system is not linked to vBulletin, we never found a real need for this.

In our setups we try to separate products so one is not dependent on the other. Spending man-hours converting content is not productive, and the only time I want to spend any time on old content is to archive it.

We have found that people like to comment on the WordPress CMS, like to log-in directly via social media. Our board members are the opposite of this and they like their privacy. They can link to their personal face book pages, twitter, etc., but very few of them want their real name posted in the forum.

Anyway, I hope this helps some... just one point of view.

Somewhere I read about a converter from WordPress to vBulletin Blog. You might even check "impex". The thread suggested to alter it for the CMS.

-- Back to work. I have been converting a very large board to use Oracle instead of MySQL. Where is the converter for that. :)
