How can you get the images to show up in a vbulletin thread? I have the permissions set to allow html ( or so I think I have them checked off in all the sections that need it turned on ). But the images still wont show in vbulletin, but they do in wordpress. Any help?

I found a little bug.
If someone register to the website and do not confirm his email.. he can write comment on Wordpress but on VBulletin he results in "user awaiting confirmation".. :)

How can i deny users that are in "user awaiting confirmation" make comment on Wordpress?

Don't map the user group "user awaiting confirmation".

It's what i've setting.. i give you some screenshot.

As you can see "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation" are "Do not Map".. on VBulletin Admin you can see that "Skaprova7" (an user that i try to register) is on "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation" but on Wordpress it write me "Logged in as skaprova7" and i can give comment.

Thanks :)

In wordpress admincp, what does it show the users role as?

Hi Jafo,
WP register the user like this o_O

Probably a silly question, but I just want to make sure!

Ive currently got vb installed and running and now want to add wordpress.

my vb installation is inside the top folder, ie:

/htdocs/*vbulletin files*

Where will be the best place to put wordpress, do I just mix the files with the vbulletin ones of create a subfolder within htdocs?

I hope that makes sense!

You can put it into a separate folder if you want, i.e. blog, but you cannot have it in the same directory, otherwise the index.php file will overwrite vbulletins index.php..

you can create a new folder outside of the forums folder

so u can have domain.com/blog (or what folder name u choose)

remember the database must be placed within the vbulletin dbase

:up:

Thanks for your help :)

Just to confirm, I need to use exactly the same database that im using for VB for wordpress?
So if im using DB12345 for vbulletin, I need to use DB12345 for wordpress?

correct .. wordpress creates its own tables that starts with wp

:up:




sorry jafo, if posting at same time as you, trying to be helpful

That is not a requirement anymore..

ooops

lol .. best I not try to be helpful

:up::p

Thanks anyway to you both,

very much appreciated :)

One more question

I have a live wordpress installation and a vbulletin installation that is not really live yet

What shall I do to combine those two?

It wouldn't be a problem to switch off the wordpress for an hour. Is it the easiest to protect the wordpress with htaccess and install the addon or can i simply do it on a live installation

You should be able to do it on a live install with no problem.

Great Plugin! I just got 2 questions:

1) About the user mapping, I got several users who exist in WP and vB with the same account name. So best practise would be, to rename those Users in WP and THEN activate the plugin?

2) About the comment URLs:
I guess there's no possibility to show the vBSEO URL instead of the "old" showthread.php URL right?

Thanks a lot!

The biggest question I have is:

Do I need to start afresh with no one registered other than the admin or can I have ppl registered on Wordpress and then do integration later on?

Jafo after the upgrade I still don't have the scrolling box. any Ideas? thanks.

Also I was wondering can I set it up so it uses 2 databases? Like 1 wp db, and 1 forum db? If so how do i do it? Thanks

As far as I know it doesn't require vB and WP to be in one database anymore.. did you check all configs?

Yea and I don't see where I put the VB database inside the query. That's why I'm confused.

Not sure why you are not getting the scrolling box. Make sure you are using version 3.05..

To use the Vbulletin database, set your queries with the Vbulletin object, example:

To use the wordpress database, use the $wpdb object:

Installed and seems to be working great. The only thing that didn't seem to work was the mapping of users. All my users that I had mapped to groups seemed to just default to 'subscriber' for some reason. No biggie 'cos I can manually change their user group in wordpress, just thought you'd like to know incase it's a new bug.

Thanks again! Oh, and Install has been firmly clicked!

I have a little problem, I mapped the users and everything, but they didn't changed to editor or author in wordpress so they could write, just for a group.. so I tried to change the roles manually but at first they are ok, but then, when they enter to the dashboard to write something, it changes to subscriber and can't write anything!!
It's the only problem.. Please, help!

I am running 3.7.1 on my server, and I have tried to install this hack.

I have tried several times changing info, and nothing happened, even when I thought it was a smart move to click auto integrate. It worked, and I have asked the bridge to map my users, one try, two tries later, it gives me these dropdown options on mapping usergroups.

But the users weren't showing up in the wordpress database. Then I try checking yes on two other options, and boom, this is what I get after clicking VBbridge settings, plugin link, and just about other places on the cpanel of Wordpress.

No such file or directory (errno 2) in [public_html root of blog] on line 454
cannot load [public_html root of forum posted twice]. You should check your path!

I'm sleepy, I'm going to delete the blog directory, and try to re-install wordpress and this integration.

Perhaps you should read the first post in the thread where it relates to paths.

i have looked over this thread briefly however i was unable to locate the way i can list my recent threads in my wordpress sidebar. if someone could show me how that would be great. thanks

Ok So I got it to work, and I am really glad but the only problem I have is with logging in and out.

Problem #1
When users log out from the forum, they still are logged in at the Wordpress site

Problem #2
When they log out from the WP section, they log out successfully but they are redirected to this url

www.whatever.com/wp-login.php?action=logout...so basically they are locked in a never ending loop.

Problem #3
How do I add a register link and have it shown for people who are not logged in?

Thanks

but how about a plugin for vbulletin iteslf to bridge user registrations between vb and wp not wp-vbulletin ?

I am getting this :(

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /nfs/c01/h04/mnt/43707/domains/empiresupportersclub.com/html/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 318

Digibluez im pretty sure existing vbulletin members would be tough to port to wordpress considering as far as i know WP uses MD5 encoding for passwords and Vbulletin uses Md5(Md5(password).salt) which makes it tough to import users from A to B (at least in my head anyway)

Ive tried this plugin, and after following the readme to the letter, configuring and posting a blog which did actually post on the vbulletin. The Users did not map when i clicked map.
They were not mapping when they visited wordpress either. i was ending up logged in as admin on wordpress and as dionsis on vbulletin and no accounts were being created
(obviously i'd prefer to have all accounts ported over to start)

Any idea's on what could be causing it, No PHP errors, Nothing hidden in the source that im just not seeing on screen. Error log seems clear of anything

I think the only successful way this could work is if you start it on a fresh board. Trying to merge a current system might be a bit of a challenge.

Hi,

I read through the majority of posts, but the answer to my question did not stand out clearly. I will ask here.

In order to prevent users from creating postings in WP that go into the wrong forum, can each category (page) in WP have a default forum ID, thus preventing threads from going into the wrong forum?

Not that i can see in the setting of this mod you just set 1 forum id

Actually is there any way to modify this bridge so that logins and forcing users and mapping users wasnt neccessary

And that all the plugin did was post new articles to a vbulletin forum.

This would let me post articles on wordpress, disable wordpress registrations and commenting and let people talk about the posts in the forum.

So no mapping of users or logins. Just posting to a specified forum?

Yes. That would be good. I would prefer postings in VB that map to WP categories rather than the way it is now where people are morons and cannot select the right forum to post. Too much administration as it stands now.

I support this idea 100%.
This is exactly one of those errors I had. I only had a few members in my vb database, and I can't tell ya how absurd this is.
I'm not alone, check all the recent posts.

Users do not map when you click map, it is absurd to think they would. They map when they are logged into vbulletin and then go to the wordpress page. I guess it is absurd for people to understand that when I wrote this in the first thread:

Will this work for 3.7?

Yes, It is release for 3.7 (same version):
