I have integrated Joomla and VB on my site iphoneusers.com using BBPixel. It is working out pretty good.

I am looking for ways to integrate Joomla content into the forum area. It would be wonderful to select Joomla Modules to integrate into a side column in the forum. I have yet to find one yet.

However, the Elearningforce bridge (friendly and prompt service and all, that's not the problem) didn't work for me because of several issues:
1. When people register, they register in Joomla and this means they will not fill in all the profile fields like in vBulletin.
2. New members who register in Joomla, are not added to the vBulletin database.
3. When they ask for a new password in Joomla, they get a new one but from Joomla, not from vBulletin. And then they can't login at vBulletin. The only solution is to turn off registration in vBulletin, so people only register in Joomla. I didn't want that.

Just want to say a couple of defences to ElearningForce bridge which they are using at www.JoomlaLMS.com where i am active forum user so i know how it works:

1)When people register, they register in Joomla and this means they will not fill in all the profile fields like in vBulletin.
A:Profile fields can be created in Community Builder and assosinated with VB fields.

2)New members who register in Joomla, are not added to the vBulletin database.
A:They just should be logged in into Joomla and then follow to VB board, then the db will be updated. Actually this is how it works on the JoomlaLMS site.

3)When they ask for a new password in Joomla, they get a new one but from Joomla, not from vBulletin. And then they can't login at vBulletin. The only solution is to turn off registration in vBulletin, so people only register in Joomla. I didn't want that.
A:Partially true, as you need just to log in to Joomla and then your pass will be automatically transferred to VB forum...

All other is true...

However i heard that BBpixel connector is out, so really don't know what to suggest here.

Ok, good luck to all.

If you're referring to the user table then yes, I did it. Will post a link as soon as the masterpiece goes out :)

You need to have jvbplugin (from bbpixel). When you download it, you get the files for Joomla and Vbulletin to integrate the members. You also get some modules and components for Joomla. Now I cant remember which one it is, but one of them, posts the last so many posts from the forums, onto your joomla page.

I am planning a few new sites. I like Joomla and vB, but until now I was still somewhat undecided on how to pull off a design. I am not convinced on the whole integration thing. After much reading, there are still many unresolved issues, like what happens when it's time to upgrade. Joomla now has a forum that integrates well, called Fireboard, but it is limited. The features and security in vB are far superior. What I decided to do is disable my login module in Joomla and replace it with links all over my home page to my forum. And add my header and footer from Joomla to my vB site.

For the above question on how to do this, it's really quite simple.
1. Find a page in your Joomla site that has the header and footer the way you want it.
2. Right click somewhere on the page and select "view page source"
3. Copy all the information on the page down to your menu.
4. Go to your vB admin panel, styles and templates/style manager and select the style you want to edit.
5. Paste the joomla header info you copied into the header.
6. Add the complete domain everywhere the code calls for "href" or "src"

Do the same to the footer. You may have to play around a bit to get it right. I will post my site when I finish it in a few days.

Hope this helped.
