Heh - never mind, problem was that for whatever reason during the move, "turn plugin on" was turned off. Funny how after searching through tons of code trying to figure out if theres a problem, it always turns out to be so goddamn simple :) Oh well - I'll take this time to thank Jafo for all his hard work

Actually - is there any way to display who has written the post on VB? Like at the top of every article in WP it lists who writes it, using this code:

Code:

<i>Written <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <?php _e('by'); ?> 

<?php

if ($vbridge[id] > 0) {

?>

<a href=<?php echo get_option('vbb_VBURL') ?>/member.php?u=<?php echo $vbridge[thread_starter] ?>><?php the_author() ?></a></i>



<?php

}

else {

the_author();

}

?>

Any way for that to display on the actual article that gets posted to the forums?

If you get a blank screen, this usually indicates an error, and that your server is setup to NOT display errors. Check your error log. I have found that when this happens to people, it is usually another plugin conflicting with it (on the VB side) Try uncommenting this line the vbbridge.php file:

Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

As for showing the author in the thread, doesn't VB automatically show in the thread information who posted?

*lets try again*

Does it work for 3.7.x ?

Rather than having the people listed as authors and letting them do it themselves, we have them as contributors. They submit the story for review, then me and a few others review it, fix up any errors etc, then mark it as published.

However, whoever it is that marks it as published - that's the username that shows up as posting it on the forum. Even on Wordpress, and in the story itself where it lists author it lists the original author, but because we're approving it, it shows up on vb as the person that approved it.

Hmm, I don't think there is a way around it at the moment unless you manually change it in VB.. When 3.7 is released, I will look into it..

Nevermind, I figured it out, great plug-in!

Is there any way to make it so it remembers the forum it was posted into when you edit?

Every time I edit I have to go back and re-select the forum and because I have multiple authors, this can sometimes get confusing.

Also - It seems to always post under my name (the admin) and not the person who made the article - is this something I have wrong in the settings?

There's not right now but that would be a great enhancement. I think what's really needed is that if the article is already posted to a forum, you are only shown the forum it's posted in and asked if you want to update the posting when you save the article.

It's going to post using the name of that you are signed into vbulletin with.

Hey guys! No complaints here! Everything is running smoothly again.

Does anyone know how I could display only the latest post? or the last 5 posts... or something, instead of it displaying all of the posts as the comments.

Real quick this is what I ended up doing:

I am basically using this plugin so that my posts are automatically created in the forums. On my post it basically says "Discuss in the forums...", with a link to the post. Underneath I have used the built-in comment system. Above it I want to list the latest posts in the forums on the topic.

Oh yeah... a little off topic, but I am using an AJAX comment system and have edited the comments so they post in reverse order (newest comments on top). However when you post your comment it posts it underneath until you refresh the page. Anyone know how to fix that?

Hi Jafo,

Could you convert or transform your hack not for WordPress but for ExpressionEngine, please ? :)

I hope that's possible,

Regards!

I hate to ask without having read the whole thread, but I've gone through a dozen or so pages and haven't found an answer so, a couple questions I have if you don't mind:

1. I've searched for a solid hour, and cannot figure out how to turn off the New User Registration notice Emails that I get every time a new user is created by the bridge. Is there an easy solution to turn this off?

2. On the Write Post page, in the "Select Forum To Post To" box, authors and contributors can see ALL the forums on my site, not just the forums they have access to. Forums they specifically are disallowed access to show up in the list. Is there any way to prevent this?

Thanks for your time, and if these questions have been asked a hundred times, I apologize.

This add on is amazing and does everything I want. :up:

Jafo .

I'm preparing to use a WP plugin called WP-Sticky.. I asked the developer if he thought there might be a conflict using it since I'm using the VBridge.

His response was

Quote:

WP-Sticky will conflict with any plugins that modifies the WordPress main SQL query

So.. does VBridge do modify the query at all??

Thanks Jafo..

Nevermind.. I backed up the DB and went for it and all is well ..

Thanks for the great work on this plugin.

After installing, I have a few questions.

#1) When I create a post using Wordpress, a new thread is auto added to the vbulletin forum. When I create a new thread in vBulletin, the thread is not added to the wordpress blog. I was hoping to use vBulletin as the comment engine. Any help on this would be appreciated.

#2) How do you enable the Comments link on Wordpress posts to link to the approrpaite vBulletin thread?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Of course it isn't added to the blog. If you follow the template instructions, you will get an answer to both of your questions.

I, too, get a blank page when trying to post after installing this, running vb 3.6.8 and 2.3.2 WP,

I've tried turning off the plugin, and I can post again. I've tried turning off the vb hooks and plugins, and it does nothing.

all other WP plugins are off.

does anyone use this and vb 3.7beta and how does it work for you ?

I've tried reinstalling it and installing it again, and it still does not allow me to post.

one other thing, the forums ar in mysite.com/forums and the wordpress is in mysite.com/wp, the part to forums from wp is /../forums, right?

Hey Jafo

Not quite sure if somebody else is having this issue since I didn't found anything related. Okay I use the mod mainly to display an article on the frontpage as on the forums as well without having it to write twice :) Now I also use vB for the comments and here we got a problem. As long as nobody write a comment the single.php wordpress site looks good. But as soon as somebody do a reply the site (single.php) from my wordpress get screwed up and is totally messed.

Any ideas what that could be?

I have no idea especially since I have absolutely no clue on what you mean by "my wordpress get screwed up and is totally messed".

Could that be that all of a sudden a picture of sex in the mud shows up on your screen? Does it mean a million SQL errors show themselves? Could it be [enter any one of the millions of things your vague description could entail here]..

changing it to /forums only removes all forums in the "post comments in this forum:" feild in the post area. remember, /forums is not relative to my wordpress installation, /../forums is.

I still get a blank page, even uncommenting the hooks:true line in the php file.

If you get a blank page, check your error log and see if an error message was thrown.

The formating of your comments section must be breaking the page. Be useful if you posted the code for your single.php file.

I do not have access to my error log. I dont even have ftp access from work. anyways, I fooled around and got the post to show up, but no comments, i'm asuming thats goingt o work when i continue integration at home?

You must use the template edit for comments to show up.

You comments code is already there :) I just checked the readme and everything is fine...

Jafo any word on the 3.7 plugin version? Still waiting on it if you let me know of any updates that would be most appreciated.

There will be no 3.7 version until 3.7 is released. I am not sure why everyone keeps asking this question. They should not be running 3.7 in production yet..

There are many production type sites running 3.7.0 such as vbseo.com, and so on and they aren't exactly crashing or having issues. That's why were using 3.7.0 Jafo :)

Plugin don't work with beta 4.. :(

Duh, no kidding.. Way to read up the original thread plus the zillion times I responded to every other question about 3.7. You should not be using 3.7 anyway..

It is still BETA. When data gets corrupted I laugh at those using BETA versions of software. And if you have ever looked at the unencrypted versions of vbseo, you can understand why they are running 3.7 in production already.
