Help Needed please ..

[Classick]

I just purchased vBulletin for the first time .. I had no trouble installing it what so ever everything is running perfectly ..But .. The nature of the site I'm trying to build requires functions that only exist in PHP-Nuke .. and I have Tried vBPortal and it was no good .. there were some Mods and Add-ons that only existed in PHP-Nuke.

So I was wondering If someone would Kindly do a simple user integration between my vBulletin and PHP-Nuke So when users Register on one they automaticaly do for the other. I'm not even conserned about the login process because its all cookies..

1. Both scripts are freshly installed not used yet .. only one user on both which is ME.
2. Both share the same database.
3. I have installed vBulletin 3.0.3 and PHP-Nuke 7.5

I've seen an integration script on this site but they were for vB2 and Nuke 5.5XX which did me no good. I have no knowledge in PHP otherwise I would've done this myself .. so If someone is willing to help me It would be highly appreciated .. :)

Thank you in advance ..

Its been asked 100 times, and done 1 time AFAIK, and that was vBportal, and as many times as people want to tell me that script is not php / post nuke, its still based on its coding (and you wont be able to tell me otherwise).

What do you need php/post nuke for?

[Classick]

I'm running a Music website .. so I need a news section, downloads, reviews, content .. and I KNOW this is included in vbportal but .. there are add-ons i need such as .. NSN-multi column mod .. and the stop-shop mod and some others that only exist in PHP-nuke. plus.. the PHP-Nuke community is very popular meaning a wide veriety of mods. I've used php-nuke before and Its exactly what I need. On the other hand I dont like phpBB forums .. i think vBulliten is a wonderfull forum.

And I know this has been asked ALOT but its exactly what I need ..

Thank you

The problem with any nuke based script is 1 querys, and lots and lots of them, and security, which it has a massive lacking of.

Have you tried looking at the current portals we have for vB?

vBadvanced CMPS and vBindex

One of thoughs maybe able to provide you with what you need, and you wont need to do the messy intregration. Just an idea :)

[ericgtr]

I run a music site and use vbadvanced cmps, I also have most of what you are requesting built it with mods from here. With a little time and digging you shouldn't have a problem getting what you need.

[VampireMan]

I hate to say this but Zachery doesnt know what he's talking about.
Have you seen the vbportal v3 gold edition code at all ?

vbportal was written from scratch , the core , the modules , everything.
But - if you think it was based on it's coding - either come out & prove it , or just please post about things you do know about.

[Dave-G]

Zachery was correct, but only when it was vBulletin 2 & vbPortal 2 lol

Since vBulletin 3 came out vbPortal was re-writing totally and out came vbPortal 3, that is NOT nuke based.

Maybe Zac you just need to keep up todate ;) or is this a ploy to push vbAdvanced by talking down vbPortal !?!?!?!

Someone give me the code then, and I will rereview it, I had seen it before gold and it still is very much based on the nuke systems.

[Classick]

This is all getting out of topic. I apologise, but I have my mind set on what I want thanks though Zachery.

So the question still remains, will someone help me integrate the users ?

Although I know nothing about PHP but .. I have an Idea on how this could be done.

Simply when a user register in one of them. Insted of the user data be inserted in one table, it sends the info to both the vBulletin user table .. and the nuke_users table .. that way the user simply register in both scripts with one simple step. If someone can help me do that I'd be greatful.

Thank you.

If you are looking to register users on both ends you will need to make some changes to how phpnuke stores its passwords along with the login system I would guess

vBulletin makes use of 2 md5's and a salt to make sure passwords are well protected, You will also need to populate tables with new rows in vB everytime someone registeres.

[thebigboss]

why do you need a copy of the code if you seem to know so much about it? your for ever passing comment about it, anyone would assume you had seen the code yet your not a premium member at vbportal and never have been to have access to the code.

I think its now quite obvious you don't know what your talking about and should just shut up about vbportal and stop abusing your position as a vbulletin moderator to promote vbadvance which you clearly have an invested interest in.

what your always doing zachery is the equivalent of comparing vbulletin 1.0 with iBP3.0

*sigh* I used vBportal for a while back in the vB2 days, I worked on it with a friend on his site during the vBportal beta 3 + days. I have not seen the code since and that was awhile ago.

If you notice I am not specificly pushing vBadvanced, in my posts I always refer to both vBindex and vBadvanced.

I have no specific investment in vBadvanced besides the fact that I help the owner brian with the moderation of the website, I provide support for the product because I use it constantly.

If you tell me the code is so drasticly differnt, give me a full version so I can look it over again on an unhacked site and see how it runs.

[amykhar]

Why should he give you anything Zach? It's a paid hack, not free and you are one of their "competitors"

This thread has gone totally off topic, and all the poor guy wants is help.

Back to the original topic.
1. Dozens of people have requested a nuke integration
2. People who don't use Nuke aren't likely to want to spend their time for free integrating it for you. Perhaps you should post a service request because if it hasn't been done for free by now, yet another request thread asking for it isn't likely to draw any better results.

what your always doing zachery is the equivalent of comparing vbulletin 1.0 with iBP3.0 Zachery does not have a premium membership you are correct, but I do, and since he is on my webstaff, he has access to it through me. I have used vBportal before, and liked it while I used it, however the larger my site got, the more problems it caused, which is why I converted to one of the other (better) portals here on vBorg. vBPortal's code is based on php-nuke, that is all they know over there. Which is fine, some people like that, I prefer to not have a bunch of useless & poorly written code processed everytime someone enters my site.

[thebigboss]

You are doing the same as zachery and comparing vbportal 2.x which was server intensive was a port of php-nuke and was written more than 2 years ago. The last time you visited vbportal.com was back in december 2003 and beta 1 wasn't made available to pemium members until end of march 2004

It is unfair to the original thread starter to have his topic hijacked and I apologise for that.

vbPortal 3.0.0 for vbulletin 3.0.0 has reviews, links and news included in the download thats available to premium members.

its not that hard to port you nuke reviews and links across to vbportal 3.0.0 tables, but the news is forum base, where as nuke's isn't. I know for a fact that one member at vbportal.com has ported his old nuke/phpbb site to vbportal/vbulletin.

[wajones]

Being the original developer of vbPortal, (I now have a partener) I would like to say a couple words. vbPortal 3.0 is not phpnuke code and it is not based off phpnuke code. It is a complete rewrite since 2.0, that aside 2.0 wasn't even phpnuke, the add ons were, but not the core of the portal. At the time vbPortal was written there was a very large request in the vBulletin forums for the use of phpnuke add ons like the links and downloads section. I simply followed my instincts and gave everyone what they wanted (a portal) that would use phpnuke add ons because they were free. There at times were well over 3000 vbPortal sites running with vbPortal very successfully and I do take exception to being bashed every time someone asks a question.

That said, things change and the desire for phpnuke add-ons seems to have not died but the desire for a more efficient portal seemed to take precedence so we began rewriting vbPortal about a year ago. vbPortal 3.0.0 has now been released.

vbPortal 3.0.0 is not based on phpnuke code, it is based on vBulletin and was created to supplement vBulletin and does so very efficiently providing basic but secure modules such as downloads, web links, reviews etc. just like nuke does, but they are 'not' Nuke Code!!!

This post is not meant as an advertisement or is it meant to be anything other than a response to quite negative posts that are not being fair to all concerned.

I have been quite set back and quiet over the past year or two. vbPortal is too large a product to post or support over here so it's done in our own forums. We have always been very supportive of vBulletin and have been very instrumental in 1000's of copies of vBulletin being sold. We have been in the top 5 for vBulletin affiliate sales in the past. I don't see how something as horrible as it's portrayed here in these forums at times can be so popular, but please let's not go down that road and start a bashing of anything again.

All I ask for is fair treatment, if we can't be treated fairly and objectively then please do not post anything. The last time I looked this forum was the official vBulletin support forum not a reviews forum for every hack or add on.

If the staff is going to start reviewing and recommending products lets be fair and review and recommend every add on and hack here, bash them a bit if their not a friend or defend those on your staff. You start doing that with all the Add-ons or hacks here and how long do you think people will stay around and post their hacks to share if you bash them all the time.

vbPortal may not be for everyone, but neither are the other portal's. If we wanted to go head to head, there are probably as many that have shifted from one or the other to vbPortal and reverse of that for different reasons.
That doesn't mean that we should bash the other's I could, but won't and neither should the staff here.

Different strokes for different folks I always say. vbPortal 3.0.0 is quite strong, well coded and efficient, quite rewarding once the initial learning period has passed. If I were to review the others I'm sure there would be points of interest making each valuable in their own right.

I will be taking a more indepth look into vBportal over the weekend thanks to the vBportal team.

I was happy to supply you with a copy to look at in order to satisfy your personal questions , it is not intended as a basis for review in these forums.

If there is to be a review then it would need to be objective and would be expected to conducted by professional evaluation. The method of bashing by heresy in these forums is not acceptable.

I'm very disappointed vBulletin.org is becoming a place where people can not share their work without fear of being bashed by the staff. Be it a small line of code or an entire add on the staff should be above approach and be objective to all. Once staff opens the door for bashing all types of heresy, protectionism and defense is unleashed and the words written are not always by someone of maturity. Additionally when staff speaks it tends to give a since of endorsement and I really don't want to think that you intended that, but it sounds that way reguardless.

This thread turned into a "whos script is better" debate ..but anyways

ok, as i was searching for help on the nuke-vb integration thing .. I came across this website and it caught my attention. I've emailed the owners to ask them what they're using if its nuke or vbportal but no answers yet.

So can someone tell me what they think this is .. becuase I think its perfect and I specialy like how the "More News" apear in the main page ..

http://www.ukmusic.com/

if this is vBPortal. Then I'm impressed !

Thanks Zachery ..

[Zachery]

Thanks Zachery ..


Does vbadvance original come with that Dual column news feature ??
By default it is setup with 3 columns by can be shrunken to 1 or 2 to fit whatever your needs may be.
