Hey guys, I know this expressely says "will not work with WPMU" - any idea of how to get one working with wpmu though? Id love to know, and I have seen another board with it already working, where they hacked the user password fields in wpmu to use the vbulletin db

No clue on MU.. Completely different program in reality..

Hi! Where are installation instruction? Thank's

I did not understand, this is a Wordpress Plug in? How do I install it?

Thanks, I shouldn't have overlooked that! :P



One other issue I am having is that when the plugin is enabled, I am no longer able to use the theme editor.

wordpress 2.5 has just been relased... does the bridge work?

I'm using it on 2.5 RC 2. Haven't upgraded to the final version yet. I only have the problems I mentioned but it seems others have the same issues on the older versions as well.

That said, I haven't used it very much or checked for other bugs.

Instructions are in the zip file..

Haven't tried it yet on 2.5.. I see they are salting passwords.. Shouldn't be an issue, but it will have to wait until I get some time to tinker..

Hi! I've this error in Vbridge User Setting :
Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read() on a non-object in /var/www/vhosts/c1siamo.net/httpdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 307

???

Something tells me you activated the plugin before you did the test post as per the readme.

I am very confused about how users are supposed to work with this plugin.

I followed all the directions and everything worked at every stage, so I now have the plugin activated with auto-integration turned on. HOWEVER, I can only get to the dashboard from a computer that logs in with the plugin turned off. Let me explain what I mean by that.

On my laptop I can get everywhere, dashboard, forum admin area, everywhere. However when I went to my desktop this morning I could not get to the dashboard no matter what I did. I logged into the forum but no matter what path I used (/wp-admin, /wp-admin/index.php, etc) I could not get to the dashboard. I tried creating a new VB user to map to an admin WP account, but it still didn't work.

I had to go back to my laptop, turn off the plugin, log in on my desktop and click "remember me" and then everything is fine on my desktop as well.

I thought the idea was that you used this plugin, logged in via VB, and were then logged in in WP?

Also, I do not fully understand this line: "If the admin username in Vbulletin is the same as the one in Wordpress (i.e. Admin), that user will NOT be able to login to the WP dashboard."

Does this mean that each user can only be an admin in one section or the other, and never both, or is this only at the time of installation? Right now I have VB admins set to map to WP admins (makes sense, no?). But maybe that doesn't matter because the new user I just set up in VB doesn't show up in the WP users area.

But ironically the username that works totally on my laptop is an admin in both sections of the site and can use both with no problem.

Sigh, these may be very obvious questions, but I'm so confused and my observed behavior isn't matching up to what it says I should expect in the readme.

"If the admin username in Vbulletin is the same as the one in Wordpress (i.e. Admin), that user will NOT be able to login to the WP dashboard."

Not sure how to make this any clearer.. If you have a Vbulletin user who has a username "Admin" and a separate Wordpress user who has a username "Admin" they WILL NOT bridge. Existing usernames that are identical in both Wordpress and Admin will not bridge.

Dunno how clearer I can make that.

Ok, so if I set up a new Admin in VB and admin's are set to map to admin's in WP, that new VB Admin should map to a Wp admin, correct?

EDIT: I think I've figured it out, any users registered in VB through the control panel do not map to WP, only users that register through the "register" link on the forums get mapped over.

Actually, your almost right.. You have to make sure you enter an email address when you create a user in the VB adminCP..

I have upgraded to wp 2.5 and the plugin breaks the new interface for adding media and pictures to posts, it will return 'Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again'.
Any fix for that, please?.

Greetings

Is there any reason you can't use this plugin in a reduced functionality mode?

Everything works fine without Auto-Integration turns on, once that happens things go pear shaped with logins and cookies and users and it's just a big mess I can't sort out.

However, without that I still get my posts in WP sent over to VB and I still get the link for the comments in my WP posts, which is all I really want. The logging in through VB and user mapping and all that I don't need.

Would that work? Just turn the plugin on, post to forums turned on, but auto-integrate turned off?

Auto-integrate is turned off ... but it still don't work :-(

Alessandro

Sorry, I was actually asking a new question rather than replying to yours.

I have no clue about the new functionality, heh.

Please download the latest version.

ive been using this for a while and it has worked very well. thanks.

Now it work!!! great Job!.

Thank you very much!.

Alessandro!

I have a feeling the #1 issue why some could not get the bridging to work is that they were creating a VB user with no email address, throwing a silent error in WP and not adding the user to WP. Had WP ever griped about it, I would have seen it. I added code to this version to just add a null email address to the field if it doesn't exist.

Thanks for the update, what does the new [gallery] tag do for vBulletin posts?

I have no idea lol..

Great job!

I've this mod installed and perfectly worked. Now I gonna place last post from vb on wordpress page. I can place any php code right in wp template files, I have a $vbulletin global variable, but I don't know how to use it :(

How to show last posts from vb on wp page using just php and $vbulletin variable?

nevermind my question was answered

Thanks for this mod, I'm following it step by step foe the 3rd time in the hope that it'll work 100% this time.

I'm at the 'Map Users' stage. I can see all the vBulletin usergroups and I can see my published blogs on my vBulletin forum so everything is working up to this point.

When I click 'Map Users', it says 'options saved'. Then I turn on "Turn Auto-Integrate On" and check my WB users and only userid - 1 has ported accross (my account). Then I can no longer gain access to the dashboard and getting a permissions denied error. I need to remove the vbbridge.php file from /wp-content/plugins folder and manually delete my vB admin account from the blog mysql database before I have control again.

Any help would be appreciated please?

Thanks

EDIT: Some info about my setup...

WP Blog: http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/blogs

All on the same domain, same hosting.

Do the VB admin account and WP admin account share the same username? In otherwords, are they the same name?

No. The administrator account on WP is 'admin' (default) and the administrator account on vB is different.

I have a test account within the registered users usergroup in vB. I mapped this usergroup only, no others, and tested with the test account; logged into vB then over to blogs and it didn't recognise the account.

As soon as I turn on "Turn Auto-Integrate On" I can no longer log into the admin cp on WP with my 'admin' account, even if I've only mapped the registered users.

Thanks for your help Jafo232. :)

I've turned Auto-Integrate OFF now.

I wanted all blogs to show in a forum thread with the username of who posted the blog but doesn't look like this is going to work.

I can still get the thread to start but it will be with the specified username in vBridge Settings.

And I guess users will need to register again if they want to use the blog, thanks anyway.

Do you have any special cookie settings in the Vbulletin options?

After the installation, I don't access to the Wp admin section. :-(

Sounds like you didn't map the users properly or you are not logged into Vbulletin. Please read the readme carefully.

Map VB usergroup: Administrators to:
Administrator | User role
and i click on Map User, after i set vbridge option on yes, after I don't access to the Wp admin section

Is your VB username the same as the WP username?

Yes, the same username and password.

Then that is why. It clearly states it in the first thread you cannot do that.

Now i've create a different nick for WordPress Admin but when i go to :
www.xxxxxxxx.net/blog/wp-admin
The browser redirect me to the forum login.

Create a new user in VB with a totally different name, set to admin. Login to VB as that user, then go to WP.
