Yesss! Thank's very much! Now work perfect!

Is this plugin compatible with vBulletin 3.7?
Or are they any plans for future compatibility at least? :)

Read Limitations..

Great add-on bro, for real....

Question - this might have been answered b4, but I didn't catch it - this only works when you post something on WP - it then posts it to VB. Does it work the other way around? When you post something on VB it gets posted on WP.....

Thanks in advance...

Only works one way.

Good, then mark it installed. :D

I am following new install instructions. Turned on plugin and clicked save, WP returns following error:

"Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: Result too large (errno 34) in ####\wp-content\plugins\vbbridge.php on line 29"

Did I do something wrong?

Sounds like your path is wrong, see instructions in the first post.

Yup, that did it. Thanks!

LOL... You didn't answer his question? Only pointing it out because I'm wondering the same thing....

Actually, I am only able to get to the write page to make a test post now. To get that far, I had to hard code the absolute path in vbbridge.php as instructed. WP is installed in the webroot folder, VB in /forum of the webroot. When I attempt a test post, I get this error:

Any idea what is causing this?

I'm having the same issue Fuzzer had with the user being Administrator | Userrole which denies access to the admin cp of wordpress. I have completely different username in vbulletin and a different one is wordpress so I don't know why it causes this. I have to change the meta key to

a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}

from

a:1:{s:23:"administrator|user role";i:1;}

to access wordpress at all it's really odd. Any idea's?

I know I should probably know how to do this after successfully installing this mod last night, but how do I make it so the title of the WP blog entry also links to the the VB thread?

Thanks everybody by the way, I've only had vbulletin since last night, and this mod was a big reason why I decided to make the switch from phpBB.

1) I cant map the users over, even though I have followed the instructions. There are no options available for me to map the users over. Can someone help? TIA.

2) How do I edit the templates such that both vbulletin and wordpress share the same type of interface?

From your WP admin control panel, click Users, then click Vbridge User Settings. If that option is not there, then you do not have the plugin installed or activated.

All of my user types appear as Do Not Map

Click on the do not map, it is a scrollable select box.

thanks!

btw, can anyone help me with the compatible theme question? TIA

ugh, I'm not sure what I did now.

Everytime I try to go to my WP admin section, it redirects me to the forum.

For example, I'll type in www.rapblogger.com/wp-admin, and it redirects me straight to www.rapblogger.com/forum

No matter what I do to try to get into the WP admin section, it just takes me straight back to the forum.

I swear it seemed to be working well, but maybe I just hadn't been in my WP admin section for a while, and I must have tweaked something that is causing this, I just can't think of anything specifically that I would have done.

Can anybody give me any clues?

Ok, so I've realize that in vbbridge.php, there are a few references to the VB includes folder that look like this:
but should be like this
right? After changing those lines, I can now post in WP and an entry is properly made in VB, however I always get this error here
I get it when I delete the post too. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

It probably didn't happen before because you were still logged in with the original WP cookie. It sounds like you either did not map users properly, or your VB Username and WP Username are the same (which won't work as per the readme).

When I post a double space between sentences in wordpress, it puts "?*" there. Is this a common problem? I may just have to stop writing double spaces, but that's not an easy habit to break. Anyway, aside from that, I'm really glad to have this plugin. :)

Ok, I changed vBulletin to UTF-8. From what I know about it, it's backwards compatible with other encoding systems. Now it puts a ?* in place of a double space, but things like quotes and apostrophes at least render right.

@Jafo232: I know you're not releasing a version for vB Betas but as vB is out of beta now and a release is likely ot be in a few days/weeks: can you say anything about how quick a 3.7 version will be ready or if there even WILL be any version available for 3.7?

I'd just like to have a clue if there's a chance to get wp and vb coupled for my next project. If not i have to deal with other solutions.

Thanks!

Hi

I have still a problem with getting this working. I am only interested in the shared userdatabase, not in the shared postings capabilities of this mod. Here is my situation:

A. URLs

I have vb 3.67 installed on subdomain 1: www.forum.mydomainname.com

I have WP 2.5 installed on subdomain 1: www.articles.mydomainname.com


B. Directories/server

Both are on the same server, but in different directories:

Forum is in: "...absolutepath/forum/

WP is in: "...absolutepath/wordpress/


C. Configuration

Since first tests did not work at all, I hardcoded the absolute path in the php file as advised. Thanks to this, I was able to map the usergroups and saved them.

But when I go now to my wp site, I get this error:

cannot load /myabsolutepath/wordpress/global.php. You should check your path!

No matter what I am doing. What did I do wrong?

It seems to me, that this mod is looking in the wrong directory for this globals.php file. With subdomains as I use them, what shall I enter in the absolute path field/ relative path field and how can I enter WP for doing this?

Thanks in advance

Jafo232,

Installed your mod, works perfect, great mod. Right now I can log into my vb and then goto my wordpress page. I can post in wordpress and have it show up in vb. All my members are able to access my wordpress page too. Everything Works as you described.

Now I have been able to make wordpress my start page, and then link to my vb forum from there, if I allow nonmembers to view my board, but this is a private board so I don't want to do that.

When I set my nonmembers to not be able to view then I get a blank page instead of my login page when I goto my wordpress page or when i set my wordpress page as my start page. Where as if a nonmember goes to a vb page they get redirected to the nonregistered page where they have to login or leave.

Is there any way to set it so whenever someone who is not a member will be be taken to my not registered page if they goto a wordpress page are not logged in to VB?

Hopefully there is a way,
durdon:confused:

Why not make the standard "member" in vbulletin not able to view any of the forums and then have a different "upgraded" membership that allows them to do what you'd like?

Basically just using 2 user groups and setting permissions. I'm not sure what criteria you're using to allow people to view your forum but just a thought.

Can anybody tell me the code to use if I want the Title of the blog entry to automatically link to the forum thread similar to the comments link.

Hi, I want to try this mod, but I have a question, is it possible that when a user writes in wordpress, that post doesn't show in vbulletin? Or if it can be modified to a specific thread, not a subforum?

Thanks in advance.

THEME CHOOSING IDEA:

In vbulletin users can select a theme with which they view the forum. Could you relate specific forum themes to specific WP Themes so when they navigate between the two it is one coherent "branding" of the theme they chose?

Anyone have any idea when this will be working with 3.7 or what has to be done to get it to work with 3.7? Also, anyone already got it working with this version?

I know the author says he does not support beta's. But, it's getting close to release now...

hello,

nice plugin.
i've read the readme but $vbuser doesn't work for me.
gives no result.
what i'm doing wrong?

We recently upgraded to the latest version and Its not working for us anymore... Once the the thread is created in vbulletin, the link to the WP post occurs as
zzzz.com/blog/2008/%postname%/

Instead of the actual post link on the WP. Could you help?

We are running vb3.6.9 and WP2.5

when we delete a post form wordpress, it doesnt delete the post from the forums either as is expected with the new upgrade.

He'll release it when he wants, he said only when it goes gold will he begin on it. Don't blame him either with every version change pre gold things change, fundementals change, so it's hard to keep up to date with that.

I have this same issue. Hopefully a fix soon.

have you guys checked that the permalink didn't change within your WP environment?

Hi Clayton, thanks for your response.
I havent changed the permalinks settings on my WP since it was first installed last year. However, I may be missing something, could you please let me know where I can check this?

Thanks

under your WP admin

go to options > permalink

then read what it says there and check to see that your

.htaccess file is writable and contains the data it mentions

I hope this helps

ok I checked as you said ... .htaccess file is not writeable by world (security), it has 755 permissions. But it does have the text that the settings ->Permalink points to.

Would I need to make .htaccess writable to make the plugin work again?
