Hi everyone! I'm wondering if there's a way I can integrate (very loosely) my vBulletin with a WordPress blog and a Coppermine photo gallery. Here's what I have right now. On my forums, I have a redirect forum that takes visitors to my WordPress blog, and another that takes them to my Coppermine photo gallery. What I want to do is have, perhaps in the Last Post column, a piece of text that says the date the other site was last updated. For example, if I last posted something on my blog on March 24, I want it to say "Last Updated: March 24, 2005" in the Last Post column. I want the same thing for my Coppermine photo gallery, to say the date something was last uploaded to it. How feasible is this?

Thanks so much!

Sorry, I just realized that this should be in the General vBulletin Questions forum, I suppose. Sorry for the mix-up. Could perhaps a generous mod move my request there?

Thanks!

You might be better off installing vb Journal and PhotoPost and save yourself a lot of hacking. I think you can do it if you can intergrate the member database but depending on the existing scripts, that might be a monumental job.

Theres a bridge file for coppermine to run off of vb's user db. I dont think that will give you a last updated on your vb or forum home but that should be a simple query.

PhotoPost will integrate with your vB styles, use signatures and avatars and vB bb code (and more); I dont think Coppermine will do anything but user verification.

coppermine doesnt do anything to the vb database it just pulls usergroups and usernames from it. in that respect it is very limited. i have it installed just looking now for a free replacement(since i'm broke)
