I can cover some, let's get some interest in this.

bad mod not working

Hi,
first thank you for this mod. But i get an error when i fill the platform-fields and get connected:

What could it be?

Thank you and greetings,
Peter

Peter, this issue was corrected in newly released vbsso-vbulletin 1.4.1 update. Feel please free to download and install it. In an event of any questions or issues you are welcome to contact us at http://vbsso.com/request-new-feature/ as well.

Thank you,

Dear Guru Samrat, could you please help us to figure out what kind of issue you are experiencing during working with the plugin. It could be environment or any related issue, whatever. We would be thankful if you could describe your issue in details and post it to us via http://vbsso.com/request-new-feature/ form.

We are looking forward to hear from you and help improving the plugin.

Thank you,

Thanks for the fast response and the update, works well now!
Greetings,

when someone writes a comment on wordpress.... how is that comment published? like a wordpress comment or in the forum like a post?


Same registration/login its usefull but the option to write comments in the forum like post... would be... :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: (at least the option to chose between wp comments or vb posts)

kindly make it to work for the custom application build in vb.net of c# or PHP

Just when a query is passed to the vbulletin it should supply with the true after authentication

The comment is basically published like a WordPress comment.

Currently that feature is not really a major goal of Single Sign On, but we would be able to see how many people would like to have the similar feature(s) around the plugin to decide about the further steps.

Thanks for the suggestion.

We are planning to publish API later this year. We believe this is exactly what you are looking for. Using API you would be able to integrate vBSSO with your custom platform or application. There is no ETA for API yet. Just keep watching periodically.

Thank you,

I know, that's the most important: share users and 0 problems with vb and wp updates :)

I can safely say we will keep this product as simple as possible. We cannot support complex integrations, especially with multiple platforms, so it would not be wise to offer them.

If someone wanted to retain xeagle to do programming work ongoing and budget for it, I can highly recommend his services.

vB 4.1.7 (Forum only)
vBSSO v1.4.1, first-time install.

when click on "Platforms" or/and "Access Settings" in vBSSO menu:
No logs produced in vbsso/logs (loging level "ALL")
EDIT: not quiet sure about this error since line 4 in forum.php is the commented vB versin and licence number?!

other notes: Admin and Mod CP are in custom named folders. vBSSO's "admincp" folder has been renamed accordingly.

hello,
I've got a question: can I use this on two vBulletin sites?

nCODE, not yet. I've been traveling and haven't been able to orchestrate that. I continue to think about ways to handle collisions between users with the same username and email address.

hmm... well, how about keeping this mind?
like there are two forums: A and B
if a user registers at A an account will automatically be created at B... I think thats possible ;)

The issue is what happens when Johnny signs up for forum B but someone else already has an account called Johnny in forum A. Or what if you have one email address per person and someone has different usernames in Forum A and Forum B. We're open to suggestions on handling these two cases. If one forum starts out empty, then just using a true SSO is ideal. We could probably implement that quickly.

im getting an error when installing this:

what can i do?

-------------------------

i manage to avoid the error by deleting a specific user email, but now im receiving this error on my email:

Time Thread Level Category Message
120 32654 ERROR localEmailLogger Communication: Platform returned error http status code: 100

Could you please let us know if you have MySQL 4.x installed on your server?

took me too much to answer, im really sorry, i managed to fix the error by deleting one user haha, and now VBSSO is up and running in two of my wordpress sites :D i <3 this hack, thank you very much for the help

Sounds great that you have got this working to manage single sign on for all your sites :)

Well now, this is a very interesting project.

From the looks of the drop downs on the request feature page, it seems that Mediawiki is on the agenda for a plugin in the future. One thing I am interested in though is if it'd be able to connect an already existing user database (from Mediawiki, or any other system) to the vBulletin database (and allow for a single sign-on), so that people who already have accounts on both would simply be linking their accounts, rather than creating a whole new account. One thing that was a dealbreaker for us with similar modifications in the past is that we use an addon to allow our forum members to change their username, which doesn't work when the addon only matches exact usernames. We'd be looking for something which matches on the forum side based on the user ID number.

Agreed. So far the plugin is quite good to start a network up quickly from scratch based on vBulletin and WordPress platforms.

From other hand we are in internal brainstorm period of thinking to connect already existing accounts and letting users to change their username and email address in platforms.

If somebody opens to share the vision how they would like to see this, that's greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Excellent Mod Thank You. Installed, rated 5 stars, and nominated. Keep up the good work. :)

What happens if a user changes their password on wordpress or on vbulletin?

vBSSO actually hides user profile inputs to change password in WordPress. In meantime user is free to change its own password in vBulletin and use it further.

vBSSO doesn't touch passwords in WordPress and single sign-on is relied on passwords stored in vBulletin users database only. Thereby, the passwords in WordPress stay untouched / unchanged as they were prior vBSSO plugin is activated.

You did create accounts and did not specified email address for each registered one. Make sure you have email specified, additionally have no duplicated accounts (accounts with multiple similar email addresses) and your administrative WP account matches to your vBulletin account (username and email).

Thank you,

Got the exact same error as this member posted on previous page, did you find a solution to this?.

Thanks.

So does that mean existing users are automatically enabled in wordpress?

I wanted to make sure that this is 100% compatible with wordpress plugins and themes.

vBSSO doesn't support custom named "admincp" folders originally, but, please be patient and new update of vBSSO is coming within a few days where these issues are taken care of.

Thank you,

Right. If person registers or logs in to vBulletin, having the same email address and username registered previously in WordPress, he is automatically connected.

In case if account doesn't exist in WordPress, vBSSO creates it automatically in WordPress based on vBulletin user profile and all themes and plugins are fully compatible to work for this user.

Thank you,

When i try to install on my server this message show up
How to solved it?

Thnks

It pops up because you have account duplicates in your forum's users database. There are two options how you can resolve this:

1. Merge accounts through AdminCP -> Users -> Merge Users.
2. Or just delete unused account with the similar email address.

Thank you,

ANy news on the update yet, TIA. :up:

The updated version 1.4.2 was released almost a week ago on November 17. Please feel free to download it :)

Thank you,

I'm getting the following error when I'm trying to connect vB (4.1.8) to WP (3.2.1):

The key is 7 characters, a-z only. Any suggestions?

Never mind, seems my browser cached my first attempt with a much longer key. Clearing the cache did the trick :)

I have this problem:

We have detected account duplicates ---------@hotmail.com, xxxxxxxxx@hotmail.com. Duplicated accounts should be removed or merged before installing or upgrading this product!

How I can fix it?

Great :) its solved, anyway how to setup the platform address? it says setting page on connected platform but i can't find it. Is there any detail information regarding it?

Thanks

I haven't tried this addon; however, from the documentation on the initial posting, I'm assuming it only works "one way" (i.e., other programs share vbulletin's login.)

However, does this addon work the other direction (or suggest an addon that does?)

Basically, I'm interested in having vbulletin use another authentication for allowing users to login to vbulletin. For example, a person would enter a login/password in vbulletin...then, if it doesn't exist/match, then vbulletin would ask another .php file to authenticate elsewhere before giving up. If that makes sense....
