Please, are there any news on the passwort reset issue?

I have wordpress and Vbulleting and im having a lot of issues , the website keeps asking me to login back , then when i do , it says that im already logged in. Is there a way to deactivate the login for WordPress and keep only login and logout for vbulletin? but also continue to register members on both system when someone registers?

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Please do not discuss paid work in a free modification thread, I've edited your post accordingly. I would follow up on your paid request listing and check your pm's, I sent you a possible solution hopefully it was that simple ;).

Regarding the password reset issue: It seems to be related to the "vBSSO User Data Post Save" plugin (userdata_postsave). Disabling it makes password reset work again, but I guess Wordpress can get out of sync now.

Additional info: I also had to disable the "vBSSO Global Start" plugin, which doesn't seem to do anything anyway (which makes the whole problem more weired).

So, to make the password reset links work again, I had to disable 2 plugins: "vBSSO Global Start" and "vBSSO User Data Post Save". This does not yet make the message '{"product":1,"version":"4.1.11","plugin_version": "1.4.12"}' vanish, but at least the users receive the mail with the new password again.

Could the developer of this AddOn please comment on this issue?

Only wordpress administrators can see their wordpress profiles when vBulletin and Wordpress are synced and "Edit profile in vBulletin" option is turned ON. If "Edit profile in vBulletin " option is turned OFF, everyone will able to edit their profiles in Wordpress, but noone will able to change theirs passwords except of wordpress adminstrators, because passwords fields are hidden now.

Thanks for getting in contact with support. We are trying to reproduce your case on your website.

Thanks for taking the time to write this add on!

I'm getting a blank page in the AdminCP with vB 4.2.1. I'd like to add a connection for MediaWiki but cannot. I have mCrypt and cURL installed.

I've done the best I could trying to read 40+ pages of this thread, but I was wondering if there was a fix for this?

There is no way to keep only registration without authorization. Please, contact our support, and describe your problem in detail.
Looks like your admincp folder is not "admincp". Check please, if it is so, and move "admincp/vbsso.php" file to "your_admincp_folder/vbsso.php".

vBSSO is slick the way it works. My only complaint is the lack of documentation on how to do a few things.

For example, one thing I can't figure out how to do in my drupal/VB setup is to refresh the drupal login when the VB is still logged in.

In other words, when I go to drupal initially, it thinks I am not logged in, but I am logged into VB. If I go to VB and back, drupal still thinks I am not logged in. I have to go to {drupalinstall}/user/login which forces me to the VB user profile page (or a vb login if I am not logged in). I can then go back to drupal and will be logged in.

I'm trying to keep drupal and VB logged in at the same time, or be able via PHP to "refresh" the drupal login when a page is visited based on the the vb login status.

I'm not sure this makes sense, but what would be nice is a vBsso function I could call in drupal that would test for active vb login, and update drupal to the logged in state.

Thanks for any help!

sj :confused:

So another fix for me, would be to have a link/function in vBsso where I could call it, it would test / accept the login, and then return to the page it was called from (which could be a part of the function).

I have to assume this exists somewhere in vbsso, I just can't find it!

Thanks!

I am using vbsso on my website with wordpress. I want to add paid memberships on my site which will remove ads. I have this figured out on the wordpress side but I am not sure how to read what VB usergroup the user is in on the WP side to remove ads there. What is the PHP code I need or WP short code would be even better (i.e. ( is_user_logged_in() ) but for vbulletin usergroup.

Thanks in advanced.

EDIT: Figured it out just had to use User Role Editor to create a new user role for wordpress.

Man... I installed this plugin and it crapped out the whole forum and robbed me of admincp access, throwing up an error instead. Couldn't even gain access with tools.php.

I figured out the issue (giving the "logs" folder write permissions for groups and public resolved the code errors and gave me back access. I promptly disabled the product and took those permissions off of that folder. Seems a little worrisome that a) such a thing would completely break vb and rob someone of admincp access, and b) that the folder needs public write permissions in the first place.

Was really looking forward to trying out this plugin, but I'm quite hesitant now. A note in the install instructions would have been helpful. Has anyone else experienced such an issue with this plugin?

Not sure what happened to you but I have this installed without public write permissions.

This is the only way to refresh your Drupal session for now. But you are free to request this feature here: http://vbsso.com/request-new-feature/ :)

Hey xeagle:

Thanks for all of your work over the years. After reading through this thread, I think I'm trying to solve a similar problem as a couple of other folks: I'd like to integrate my existing Drupal 4 stack with a vb5 install.

I'm imagining that I can mostly use VBSSO on the vb side, but that I'll have to create or heavily modify the code on the drupal side.

Is there anything that comes to mind that you think will help me at the outset of this project? Or could you put me in touch with anyone who you think would be able to point me in the correct direction?

Also, if you have an accurate version of the api docs, that would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

squekyshoes, you can ask for api docs through the http://vbsso.com/request-new-feature/
Also you can see Supported Platforms in the description of vBSSO, vBulletin 5 is not supported yet. But it is in our plans.

I did send a message through your contact us section asking if you has a time frame on vb5 if it was days/weeks/months as this interests me right now.

why was this removed?

I have these 2 platforms, VB (vBulletin 4.2.0 Patch Level 3) and WP 3.6.1.
And installed VBSSO on both .

It has a problem, could not figured it out why it is happening.

Problem is:

When i logged In in Vbulletin and go to WP pages , users session works. But when i try to logged in via WP , Loggin function not work . it says your password is incorrect.

I reset the password from WP-admin , Logging in with WP works but it does not maintain session with VBulletin.

Any one know Why? Any other who has this issue?

We recently moved our old blog to Wordpress, and we have a large user base in vBulletin, so we wanted to make if easier for logged-in vBulletin users to comment on the Wordpress blogs. So, we are trying out this plugin.

We turned off the link while we are cleaning up some migration issues.

However, even with the link broken, the plugin was adding a second Google Analytics code to our footer, which we did not enter and which did not match our actual GA account or the code on our vBulletin install.

We found this code in :

Does anyone know how this got into in there, and the proper way to remove it?

Getting this error upon importing vbsso.xml through vb4.1.2
I went to the line, this is it:
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem with WP 3.6.1

Hi there,

Any update on this?

Willing to pay double the going rate of the Pro version. :D I'm sure I won't be the only one.

Any plans for a joomla / vB bridge/single login like this?

Thank You man this perfect for me

Since updating to Wordpress 3.6, VBSSO is broken. As other user's have pointed out, the SSO only works one-way if you login through VBulletin first. If you try logging in through WP it says the user/pass is incorrect.

Hi all, quick question.

This may be obvious but can I use vBSSO so connect multiple vBulletin forums together? :)

Am I stupid, or there's no VBSSO section under special pages?

this gives me an error Open `LocalSettings.php` file in the root of MediaWiki installation and add `require_once( “$IP/extensions/vbsso/vbsso.php” );`

Can't find this
Copy `Platform Url` and `Shared Key` fields from MediaWiki installation to vBulletin (you can find them in `Special pages -> vBSSO`).

help, thank you

Go to WP first and log into wp-admin

Settings > vBSSO

Your platform key may be changed here if you like. Remember it. Under that you will see the platform address. Copy that.

Open vBSSO in vB. Use the same key you used on WP, and paste the platform address. Now you should be able to connect.

I'm still having the same problem as NAZIA and BigBoosting.

It isn't working for WordPress 3.6

I have submitted the bug to VBSSO's website but no response.

They don't list 3.6 as a supported version yet so maybe they are working on it?

I hope so.

toolblast,

I'm running WP 3.7 and not having any issues. There are a couple of things to check to make sure the system is working correctly.

1) Same password must be used on both WP and vB. If not then log into both admin interfaces and make sure they are set accordingly then save.

2) Make sure that you have the simple key and link set properly.

3) No under vBSSO link custom pages, this is something I did. I link registration to http://www.yoursite.com/where_your_f...d/register.php This is the default location of vB registration. If you need the correct URL then log out and select the registration link. Then copy and paste the exact URL.

My login and logout page is to forum home page. I bypass all vBSSO login and credentials.

Now the only error that I have faced is logging into admincp. it times out with an error, but simply selecting the admin link at the bottom of the forum will open the AdminCP.

I haven't had any other issues using this method, maybe give it a try.

Thanks Syxguns for the quick and detailed replies.

I will try your method. Could be Wordpress 3.7 works over 3.6, not sure.

Thanks for the tip about the custom urls, I saw that setting in VB but didn't really know what it was.

Also, any idea how to change the URL that the user lands on after they've logged in? Right now it goes to my forum 'latest activity' page when users log in. I'd want it going somewhere else.

With vBSSO, the page should default to where they were. For example, I'm on WP and select to sign in. I'm taken to vB to sign in or register. After I sign in, I am defaulted back to WP where I started.

However, let's just look at vB. The newer version of vB automatically defaults to "What's New?". To change this it is simple.

Admincp > Settings > Navigation Manager

You will see that What's New is set to default meaning this is the first page that is going to show after you log in. If you want the default page to be Forum, then in the drop down box select "Set Default" this will make it the page that shows after you sign in.

Ok, i don't think i have a wp-admin account, do i need to create it directly in the database?

My username is admin, but i can't see the administration control panel

The wp-admin is automatically made after you install WP. I don't know what your address is but let's assume you placed it in a sub directory instead of the default directory.

Then use your username, which in your case you said it was admin, then your password. That will log you into the admin portal of WP.

Edit: You may also in the user panel change your admin name to what you would like it to be displayed publicly if you wanted.

It's weird, i don't have a wp-admin folder under my wiki directory! That's probably why i don't have access to the admin panel

<a href="http://www.vwquebec.ca/wiki/" target="_blank">http://www.vwquebec.ca/wiki/</a> is the link

Just to make sure, the only thing i want to do is connect my mediawiki with my vbulletin forum so they can use the same user database

I'm not sure about MediaWili, give me a few moments to download the files and look over the instructions. I'll post back shortly.

Sharing a database! I'm not sure about that unless mediawili was designed that way. You may have to do some customization to ensure the two databases do not share the same table names. However, this platform will allow you to share users.

Ok, thanks

I tought it was the only way to link both. http://vbsso.com/platforms/mediawiki/

I tought VBSSO was the plugin allowing us to do that.

Maybe i didnt understand it properly, and sorry if i wasted your time.

Thanks
