Lovely...

I'm pretty sure its the cookies that are the problem. What exactly is wrong with the cookie domain setting? And are there any options whatsoever that I can use to change them to get them to work? Am I the first person experiencing this problem?

The browser considers forum.site.org to be a different site from www.site.org and won't let them read each other's cookies (I think. You might be able to resolve this by changing the cookie path in the vbulletin admincp but BE CAREFUL - screw up the setting and you won't be able to log into vb period without uploading tools.php and resetting the cookie path).

I've changed it to .pinkowitz.org and it works fine! Now to continue with the rest of the installation. XD

RC2 is out. If you have installed RC1 there is no need to upgrade - all file changes where in the installer.

So I was able to fully install vJoomla, but was persuaded to uninstall due to the majority of nonworking links. I installed it through the forum location http://forums.pinkowitz.org.

Would the majority of the links work if I made the forum a subdirectory inside vJoomla (i.e. http://pinkowitz.org/forums)?

Also, I noticed my custom theme did not load images into the vJoomla. Should I import the theme's images into vJoomla's image directory to get it recognized by vJoomla?

Editing the templates and changing relative paths in URL's and images to absolute paths is beyond the scope of getting the core functionality to work. It is something I'll look into, but it has a lower priority than completing the testing of the code against the modules and also deploying and setting up the sites I built this thing for in the first place.

What I can and will do is ask Brian Tinsman for permission to include the section of vbAdvanced's installer code that rewrites URL's and image paths. It should work for this project as well with minor tweaking, but he owns that code and I cannot use it without his permission.

Themes aside, it seemed that none of the modules were working due to the broken URL's. Do you think the fact that the forums were hosted on a subdomain could be the issue? Would it be easier to just install it as a subdirectory?

All testing was done with a subdirectory arrangement, but having them in separate directories shouldn't break modules. Anyway, which modules where broken. I'm not sure it's possible to break ALL of them, some are too dirt simple.

I just recall anything in the top panel would not work. I recall that few on the side panel didn't as well. But I think the cause of that was probably the subdomain installation. I'll give it another shot when I'm at my computer again. XD

The "top panel" -- if you mean the navbar that's because that's a template that belongs to vbulletin. The default side menu items are just that - defaults - and they are meant for a clean Joomla installation without vbulletin. My goal in this is to get the single most difficult and technical hurdle out of the way - the actual bridging of code. Anything beyond that is time consuming, but relatively simple to work out if you know a little html.
