I do have some interest in this add-on but visiting the developer's site to look at the full version is less than impressive...

See Problems with this plug-in and-or this site.

I have custom table prefixes, too ... so can you maybe make this configurable?

As additional Question: Does syncing work with scheduled wordpress posts, too?

How did you do this?

The files go into the Wordpress plugins folder so has nothing to do with vBulletin directly. This is a WP to VB integration not VB to WP (that I am aware of).

I have zero issues with speed on his site but also VB4 is more or less a resource pig to begin with so less then ideal hosting will always show. I run his pro version and am quite impressed with what it does and hope the development continues.

His Header Navigation menu has NOTHING to do with this plugin. This is coded most likely into the header template of his VB site.

Quick Guide.

First unpack the folder into plugins, where all the files and sub folders should reside in [wb-vb] folder.

now in Wordpress Plugins, activate the plugin and then go to Settings --> WP Vb integration


Essentials are as follows: (everything else you can play with!)


1) Path to vBulletin. / means the Vbulletin Forum is in your root folder. ie www.mysite.com/
/forum/ means the Vbulletin Forum is in a folder called forum. ie www.mysite.com/forum/
ALWAYS add the trailing /


2) Activate login sync feature [check box]


3) Activate post sync feature [check box]

4) Forum ID - this is the NUMBER of your desired linked forum ( sub forums are added from this) so look at your vbulletin URL

http://mysite.com/forumdisplay.php?6-The-Forum the ID would be 6


5) vBulletin user id to assign posts to - this is numerical as well. so ID number of who you want to add these too.



6) vBulletin -> Wordpress Settings

Add vBulletin plugins ... click add


7) go back up and click [TEST] - if all is well you should see... vB loaded Plugins - 1|1|1|1|1|1|1



8) SAVE CHANGES...


Good to go!

Look, this is like a carpenter who has half built walls in his house, or a plumber with a leaky faucet.
I'm not really going to spend much time optimizing the site. I prefer to spend my time helping customers get their systems up and going (as you can see from comments from people I've helped in this thread) and adding features to the plugin. I have a full time job and have not made even close to what I've put into this. If the site sucks, so be it. If you question my support or whether the plugin will work, just ask anyone who has purchased it. I'd be happy to spend my time helping you get your site to where you want it over worrying about nav bar links on my site that's only purpose is to process payments and downloads.

Thanks to everyone who has said nice things about the plugin and my efforts to support it!

I'm glad you got the character issue worked out.

As for the user sync, it is a pretty heavy process. I tested on a site with 15k users and it took about 20 minutes. However, i did set it up so that you can re run it like you did.
The way it works is first going through all WP users and seeing if there is a match in vb. For each match, it syncs them. Then it goes through all of the vb users that were not synced and looks for a a match in WP and syncs the ones that it finds.
Then it goes through all of the WP users that were not matched and created a vb user for them and syncs it.
Then it goes through all of the vb users that didn't have a match and does the same (creates a wp user, and syncs it)
If the script times out, it will pick up where it left off next time you run it as it ignores users that are already synced. But it will take longer with each pass.
If you have a lot of vb users, the query that gets unsynced users does take a long time.
I plan on optimizing this as soon as I get some of the more critical issues worked out.

Custom prefixes should not be a problem at all. The plugin loads WP and vB just like the browser does. It pulls the db data from the config files.

As for scheduled posts, currently they do not sync. That is going to be the next thing i address along with syncing changes from vb thread/comment edits.
