erm...so this hack/addon/component will work fine with PHP 4? (sorry but your whole description is very confusing)..

yes.

there are two version of the module, one for SOAP the other for php4

would this work for Limbo-CMS ? the light mambo?

this component was only tested on joomla 1.0.x

it should work with mambo and maybe with other mambo/joomla based applications
( but you must patch the mambo.php/joomla.php or else self)

do you have for vbulletin version 3.0x?

no this hack is only for vbulletin 3.5.x

( this addon is posted in vB3.5 Extensions Forum ;) )

Got a question for ya leonsio...

I've installed the component in Joomla, as well as created the connector stuff for vBulletin using the SQL module. What if anything do I install in vBulletin to allow the logins to go both ways?

on vbulletin side you must install vbulletin application connector with joomla (sql) module

EDIT: OK, Joomla->vB login wise and editing wise, works fine and dandy, no problems.

vB->Joomla on the other hand...not so much...

I'm using the Joomla SQL module right now, the database settings are correct, and the Joomla DB info is correct (just double checked it with the Joomla configuration.php file, everything's a match). I'm using vB 3.5.4 right now, and all plugins are active...no idea why this isn't working right, any ideas?

Ok, keeps getting stranger...when I login to vB, it adds the user to Joomla, but it doesn't actually log it in...

the URL to joomla must be the same
that you have added in the configuration.php in joomla unter liveSite variable

Worked like a charm, thanks man, I had the URL's slightly altered and that screwed it up. Thanks leonsio, great extension man, can't wait to put it in a production environment :)

v. 1.0.0 was released
all connectors are moved to separate packages
fixed some bugs with PHP4
support for joomla 1.0.8
better login/synchronisation handling

the way joomla->vbulletin works fine, with out any problems
for the other way are some changes in vbulletin application connector ( joomla modules ) needed
this will be done in this or next week

Hi leonsio,
It seem that your com connector.zip file is lacked of vbulletin.class.php
I got the following errors when click NEW after installing the component to joomla 1.0.8
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: initsessionadmin() in D:\server\www\joomla\administrator\index2.php on line 38

its okay to report the bug only in one forum...

I get this error when loggin in the Joomla side. I have the soap client installed on vB, php5 is enabled and I'm running the vb soap on Joomla. Any help would be much appreciated.

you must install soap extension for PHP

Im running into a problem.

I have two joomla portals they are both on the same domain and server as the vbulletin installation. My problem is that one is working and the other is not.

Is it possible to run the connector on two joomla portals and one vbulletin installtion?

the reaosn i ask is the both have the identical information in the connector preferences and the one will not work.

Each installation is in a seperate database, so the joomla's are seperate and the vbulletin is by itself as well.

the error I get whenever I try to login is the following.
I have the same exact connection details in my working portal though and it works so I don't think it's a problem with me specifying bad details on how to connect to the database.

By the way I get the above when trying to login into mambo with my vbulletin account.

An interesting tid bit though is that the vbulletin installation is getting updated with my joomla account from the portal that gives me the error so I know for sure it's not a connectoin issue with the vbulletin database.

Only difference between the two joomla installation is one is a sub domain. Vbulletin cookies settings are path / and domain blank however.

I have php 4 so I am using the vbulletin_sql.class

replace joomla.php with this one

http://www.c4u.to/includes/joomla.zip

Hmmm instead of giving my a mysql error now it just says incorrect username and password.

I tested it and if I register an account on joomla I can login on vbulletin. if i register an account on vbulletin I can login to joomla.

However if I try to login with an old vbulletin account it does not work and says incorrect password or username.

I've tried to reinstalling and that did not work either.

I've the same problem :(

It's really odd though because I have one portal working fine and there all on the same server so it's not an issue with the server environment. I dont think it's related to the subdomain especially because the new accounts are getting updated. It's just that old vbulletin accounts cant login to the portal.

Hmmm thinking of the only thing different between the portal setups and the only thing that comes to mind is that on the first one the admin name for the portal was not the same name as an account on the vbulletin installation. On the second portal however it was originally I did change this though and renamed the admin account to something not in use on the vbulletin installation.

Any ideas? Should I try a complete reinstallation of joomla and the connector? I should have some free time when i am done with school today so I'll give it a try and report back if it fixed the problem.

A complete reinstallation solved my problem. I think the cause was using an account name that already existed in the vbulletin database as the super administrator during installation.

Working now anyways.

Can someone that has this installed and working please contact me? I'm having some minor issues, but could really use someone that could walk me through it.

Thank so much!!

When i goto Joomla and goto componates/connecter and make a new one i get an error saying. that it could not find com_connecter/modules. Did i miss a step somehwere?

read the release post

This is working for me with a couple of minor issues so thanks for creating it.

I keep getting duplicate new user accounts created in vBulletin but I'm not sure what is causing this. It only happens sometimes when a user who already has a vBulletin user account uses my site. I have to clean out the duplicate accounts on a regular basis but it would be nice to stop them being created in the first place.

This is on vBulletin 3.5.4, Joomla 1.0.7 and the sql versions of the connectors.

Thanks,
Jon.

I've just updated to Joomla 1.0.8 to see if that fixes my duplicate users problem, I see things are being done a bit differently for com_connector in the new Joomla.php

Thanks,
Jon.

sub'd, this may be useful in the near future.... looks promising.

URL: what do I put here? My vbulletin url?

I get this error if the username don't exist in vbulletin.


if you get your password right the first time however, all the info is transfered to joomla.

once the user is in joomla, and he gets his password wrong, the normal "Incorrect username or password. Please try again shows up."

Replace joomla.php with the one in this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....7&postcount=59

Thanks.

Still won't log me into vb automatically even though I set my domain to .domain.com since my vb is under forum.domain.com

Also is there a way to synch all users to Joomla?

I got this running fine, even after VBridge install. The only problem, is my members arent listed on the forums. Will everyone have to re-register once again?

Does this work with vBulletin 3.5.4, with Joomla 1.0.8? And does Joomla have to be installed on the same database as vB?

I'm getting an error using vBulletin 3.5.4, and Joomla 1.0.8. Any ideas?

This is happening as soon as I go to Administrator > Components > New

Thanks,
Paul

Okay. So, I added the module folder in the "/components/com_connector". And now I can click on the "New" button in Joomla to create a new module. Although. How do I create one for vBulletin??

Instructions:

Choose a Module like "vbulletin"

How do I get the module "vbulletin" am I supposed to install that seperately in the modules folder?

Thanks,
Paul

Okay. Figured out how to get the module into there, but I'm still getting errors. I've made it all the way through the installation process, although when users from my forum try to login to the site... I get this error.

Any thoughts? Just a suggestion as well. Has anyone though about putting together a simple installation document on how to do this. ??? You could cut back on a million posts all over the web trying to figure this out, if someone could just go through each step in detail...

Thanks, I really need to get this up, I have a deadline. I would appreciate any help you could give me.

Thanks,
Paul

Hello everyone! :)

I'd like to connect Joomla and the vB too, but bevor I have some questions:

1) Is it possible to show the Shoutbox on the Joomla page?

2) Is it possible to add any kind of vB modul, like "Top 5 Posters", "Newest Members" or "Newest Topics" on the Joomla page?

Greetings
WoD

Hey :) I'm not sure about some of your other questions. But I do know how I got Joomla to work on vBulletin 3.5.4. As usual it cost me something, but I used BBPixel to do the job. And they did an awesome job with my template, and integration via the plugin.

Thanks,
Paul
