It probably didn't happen before because you were still logged in with the original WP cookie. It sounds like you either did not map users properly, or your VB Username and WP Username are the same (which won't work as per the readme).

When I post a double space between sentences in wordpress, it puts "?*" there. Is this a common problem? I may just have to stop writing double spaces, but that's not an easy habit to break. Anyway, aside from that, I'm really glad to have this plugin. :)

Ok, I changed vBulletin to UTF-8. From what I know about it, it's backwards compatible with other encoding systems. Now it puts a ?* in place of a double space, but things like quotes and apostrophes at least render right.

@Jafo232: I know you're not releasing a version for vB Betas but as vB is out of beta now and a release is likely ot be in a few days/weeks: can you say anything about how quick a 3.7 version will be ready or if there even WILL be any version available for 3.7?

I'd just like to have a clue if there's a chance to get wp and vb coupled for my next project. If not i have to deal with other solutions.

Thanks!

Hi

I have still a problem with getting this working. I am only interested in the shared userdatabase, not in the shared postings capabilities of this mod. Here is my situation:

A. URLs

I have vb 3.67 installed on subdomain 1: www.forum.mydomainname.com

I have WP 2.5 installed on subdomain 1: www.articles.mydomainname.com


B. Directories/server

Both are on the same server, but in different directories:

Forum is in: "...absolutepath/forum/

WP is in: "...absolutepath/wordpress/


C. Configuration

Since first tests did not work at all, I hardcoded the absolute path in the php file as advised. Thanks to this, I was able to map the usergroups and saved them.

But when I go now to my wp site, I get this error:

cannot load /myabsolutepath/wordpress/global.php. You should check your path!

No matter what I am doing. What did I do wrong?

It seems to me, that this mod is looking in the wrong directory for this globals.php file. With subdomains as I use them, what shall I enter in the absolute path field/ relative path field and how can I enter WP for doing this?

Thanks in advance

Jafo232,

Installed your mod, works perfect, great mod. Right now I can log into my vb and then goto my wordpress page. I can post in wordpress and have it show up in vb. All my members are able to access my wordpress page too. Everything Works as you described.

Now I have been able to make wordpress my start page, and then link to my vb forum from there, if I allow nonmembers to view my board, but this is a private board so I don't want to do that.

When I set my nonmembers to not be able to view then I get a blank page instead of my login page when I goto my wordpress page or when i set my wordpress page as my start page. Where as if a nonmember goes to a vb page they get redirected to the nonregistered page where they have to login or leave.

Is there any way to set it so whenever someone who is not a member will be be taken to my not registered page if they goto a wordpress page are not logged in to VB?

Hopefully there is a way,

Why not make the standard "member" in vbulletin not able to view any of the forums and then have a different "upgraded" membership that allows them to do what you'd like?

Basically just using 2 user groups and setting permissions. I'm not sure what criteria you're using to allow people to view your forum but just a thought.

Can anybody tell me the code to use if I want the Title of the blog entry to automatically link to the forum thread similar to the comments link.

Hi, I want to try this mod, but I have a question, is it possible that when a user writes in wordpress, that post doesn't show in vbulletin? Or if it can be modified to a specific thread, not a subforum?

Thanks in advance.

THEME CHOOSING IDEA:

In vbulletin users can select a theme with which they view the forum. Could you relate specific forum themes to specific WP Themes so when they navigate between the two it is one coherent "branding" of the theme they chose?
