I have a question about your software. I have members who have registered on both my joomla and vbulletin platforms. When I had Joomla 2.5 I used another bridge and it duplicated these users across platforms. Since then lots of people have created new userids on VBulletin and Joomla. But I only have member input on VBulletin. Should I just delete all my Joomla users (except admins) before installing you product? Hope this is not confusing.
Thank you.

It is not mandatory to delete users before installing the vBSSO product. But note, please, vBSSO works only for registered user on both - MASTER and SLAVE platforms (in your case, JOOMLA and VB).

Thank you very much for your reply.

How does your SSO handle duplicate userids? For example, if someone logs in through the SSO using their VBulletin username and the exact same username already exists in Joomla, but it is not them, does the SSO MASTER sync the Joomla password to match with the Vbulletin username's password so there is just one userid across both platforms or does the SSO just ignore the existing Joomla userid and create a new Joomla userid with the same name using the VBulletin password?

Yes, the vBSSO ignores the existing Joomla user id; when you press the Joomla registration link it redirects you to vBulletin and creates an account there. Then vBSSO passes the user data to Joomla after that the user will be created there accordingly.

Hi Xeagle,

I just sent you a private message including the logging notification data. Can you please take a look and let me know why I am getting Communication: Platform returned error: Couldn't resolve host error.

thank you

xeagle,

any update on making vbsso/mediawiki compatible with PHP 5.6 ? php 5.5 is End of Life, and the mediawiki bridge has not seen a update in 2 years (and does NOT support php 5.6) on your site.

i am unable to update the server as it breaks the link...

TIA.

Our team is planning to provide support for PHP 5.6 in 2017.
We hope this has not caused you any inconvenience.
Thank you,

Great. Sooner would of course be better. You probably should work on php 7 directly, as that is the active version now.

You have made a great mod, want it to remain relevant.
