Hi there.

I'm lost as to what I need if I want to intergrate my site with vBulletin.

When a user registers with the site, I want them to automatically be signed up to the forum.

This is sort of covered in this thread:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=82836

But there are no files that I can actually see for myself what's happening, just code samples.

Does anyone have any code (PHP and CF) which I can use to intergrate my site please?

Thanks very much!

Well, thanks for all your um... help anyhow.

I've decided that vBulletin isn't the way to go, removed it and replace it all with DNN. The clean and crisp ASP.NET interface is far better than I could have hoped for with a mish-mash of vB and PHP.

Quite honestly, I expected more from this place but then my friend did point out that this was all a bit amateur anyway.

Thanks again for moving the thread which appeared to have been the only real response I've had.

Integration of ColdFusion and vBulletin is up to the developer, not the forum software. This place is mostly frequented by php developers so I wouldn't expect to find a lot of CF help here!

I run a ColdFusion based portal and integrated vB 3.0.7 quite well with it. I didn't bother about the login features (I sent people to the forums to log them in) but used the FPS external.php replacement to get RSS2 feeds into my CFMX site.

Sadly this is not well implemented in vB 3.5.1 and the external hack replacement is not yet ported, so I'm trying to build my own using the XMM reader-writer from Interaktonline.com - hopefully that will let me get what I need from the forums.

I ran vB and ColdFusion side by side on a Windows box for a while, but eventually moved my forums to a linux box since php/apache thrives much better there. Sadly I have not been able to find a decent Linux host for ColdFusion so I still need to keep my sites separate, hence the need to use feeds to exchange information.

For an unpaid volunteer website, you expected more? For a US$160 piece of code?

Try paying alot more than that for a response to a question/request that isnt exactly easy, then complain.
