Ok I have a problem....since WP outputs its news in HTML format, how do I get vBulletin to interpret it properly instead of publishing the raw code?

Is there anyway this whole mod could just be stripped back to basics? I'd like to see it allow Wordpress to just query the VB users table for all member functions.

very tight man. but i've got a question. I am right that the bridge "only" maps users logging in from the forum but not from wordpress? Because when users come to my Blog first then they are logged out when they go to the forum. In the other way it works fine. But The Main Site isn't the forum so mapping from Worpress to forum would be very nice.

Another question is there a documentation on it? The readme is a little bit short ;)

Hey Jafo I seem to have two problems.

1. When you're logged into the forums and then go to the wordpress page, you're automaticly logged out.

2. If you try to post a comment at the forums, it says "You do not have permission to perform this action. Please refresh the page and login before trying again." and it automaticly logs out.

I triple checked everything and can't seem to find the problem. Could you perhaps check out and fix it? I can pay you for your time.

Cheers

Do you fixed it yet? I tried the plugin today and get the same problem with the login/logout. I can successfully login in vb and be logged in with worpdress but logging out i'm only logged out at vb not at wordpress.

I think this is a cookie issue but i'm not sure.

Second i'm searching for a solution to implement the login form of vb in wordpress. The most scripts here doesn't work.

Maybe somone can help out?

I am having a similar problem, when trying to get a user to login from Wordpress to the board, it will go to login.php, it then says We will now redirect you. And, when I get to Wordpress, I'm not logged in. But, if I click the forum page , I will be logged in, and then going back to Wordpress page I am magically logged in. But if I just stay on the Wordpress page i will not be logged in.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi! I installed this hoping that my vB threads went directly to my WP but this is not what this hack does!!! I need to show in my WP every thread in my vB is there any way to do that?

Thanks in advance

This is by far the best mod for VB i have come across. Simply brialliant.

One last thing I would like to to do is to show VB avatars next to WP comments. I am not using VB comments. How would I go about showing VB avatars in WP comments?

Thanks

what do you mean by
can't see any option for vbridge after i activated it

Settings -> Vbridge Settings

First off, thanks for writing this mod.

I've installed this on Wordpress 2.5.1 and vBulletin 3.7.2. I have gotten everything to work correctly. (User mapping + auto-integration) However about once a week, I find that auto-integration breaks and it becomes impossible to enter the wp dashboard. When I look in the wp_options table, I find that vbb_VBPLUGION is set to "0". If I change this to "1" then everything goes back to normal.

I was wondering what is causing this and what I can do to prevent this from happening again.

Thanks in advance for your help.

In case anyone's still curious, I've determined that vbb_VBPLUGION is changed from 1 to 0 whenever the mod can't find global.php and this almost always happens when a googlebot is crawling my wordpress site. For some reason, wordpress does not retrieve the correct relative path to the forum and the plugin turns auto integration off. Why this happens is still a mystery to me. For the moment I've modified the code so that it falls back on a hard coded path whenever global.php isn't found. If anyone can tell me why this happens I'll be very happy...

Good plugin.

My problem is that in order to stay logge din you have to check the "remember me" box. How do i fix this?

I noticed that the example sites have WP in the root directory and vB in the /forum directory.

Our forum is in the root directory and so is vBadvanced.

I am considering replacing vBadvanced with WP and using this bridge.

So, my question is, can I install both in the root directory, with the forum index as forum_index.php and WP as index.php?

Thanks!

I'm having issues with strange characters showing up in the forum posts such as ?*

See the blog post:
http://www.lineagejunkies.com/?p=11

And the forum post:
http://lineagejunkies.com/forum/showthread.php?t=279

I am allowing HTML to appear in the forum in order to allow images to show. Any way this could be converted to bbcode?

I've noticed a bug:

BB Codes quotes parsed in comments with the text "View Post" have the wrong link ... should be parsed with the addition of vbb_VBRPATH

See http://www.lineagejunkies.com/?p=11 for a example.

Any idea if you we will have also vb 3.7.2 compatible version???

Thanks in advance.

This is really what i'm looking for...

I have a problem running wordTube with this plugin on, when I try and use wordTube in combination with this plugin, wordTube does not execute any changes. I cannot add categories, videos or make any other database related changes aside from the plugin options (hard to judge if all of them are getting trough, as I have no videos to test with) it appears to not be able to access the database for as long as I have vBridge enabled in my plugins.

If anyone could help me with this problem it'd be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Freek

Seems to be working fine with wordpress 2.6

I've got a little question regarding this nice plugin.

I've been using it for a while now and it works completely fine. Now I have integrated it into another vbulletin (3.6.10 PL3) and wordpress (2.5.1) system, using the same options like in the other systems.

Now I would like to have the comments in vbulletin. The thread in vbulletin is added without any problems, but the headline and the newstext are not displayed, they are actually not even in the vb database.

Any idea what's the problem / error? :)

I'm looking forward to your answer!

Cheers

Sorry everyone for being away, just moved to a new home and time is a valuable thing right now. Not sure where everyone is, but if you still have questions, let me know here in this thread.

Anyone know how this could be caused? You dont have to give me the entire solution, just point me in the right direction :D

Here's an obscure problem as an FYI:

You can't use vBulletin scheduled tasks to run a cron on a Wordpress plugin while you have this bridge enabled. It causes a second call to forum/global.php and the whole thing chokes (scheduled task -> plugin -> wp-config -> wp-settings -> load all plugins which calls bridge -> global.php).

Took me a couple hours off-and-on to track down why that was failing. Looks like I'm going to go play with my crontab. :erm:

Maybe a dumb question, what does the option "auto-integrate" ?

1) Just installed, and one thing I've noticed is that when click on the log out link on the front page, It logs you out of the account on vbulletin, but when your return to the front page it still thinks your logged in. Is their a way to fix this?

2)Is their a way to edit the plug-in so that when you click on register on the frontpage it actually takes you to the registration process not to the forum index

Hi, I'm getting the "all of a sudden cant access the dashboard" thing.

"You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page"

How could I fix this even manually, accessing the db?

Actually my forum username and wp username are different, but they weren't days ago (admin and admin)

Thanks very much, rellay appreciate any possibile help.

edit: disabling the vbbridge, now I can access. This happened after I turned "auto-integrate" on. I got this app where usernames were the same on both the forum and wp, which username do you suggest me to change even from phpmyadmin to anything else? in which table? thanks.

You can either change them in VB or WP, your choice..

hey jafo, is it possible to merge a current vbulletin db to a new wordpress db?

Not sure what you mean by "Merge".. You can bridge any two installs be they new or old or a combination.

I have this installed but want to use wordpress comment system. Which is working great. However I want to link the users name in a comment to there profile. How do I do this?

Ok that answers my question. Thanks. :D

So mapping the new users ONLY works with new registrations correct? Those who have been a member prior to my adding this plugin means they have to register at WP correct?

No that is not correct. Users have to login to VB, THEN visit the wordpress page, that is when they are automatically bridged.

That is where I am running into trouble. I created a new user and then mapped users and the new user showed up in wordpress under users.
I asked the other users to try and login to wordpress and they cannot login even though they are logged into VB.

After installing wordpress and then activating this plugin, I get

Cannot load Resource id #70.

When I click on the Reading option.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I'm using Wordpress 2.6.1 and vBulletin 3.6.8

You may want to disable hooks in the plugin itself (won't affect VB). See the source code.

Is there any custom Adbvanced Wordpress Developer we have a which needs advanced customizations worth 2000 US$ +

Quick question the answer to which I cannot find reading. I have this set up ready to run the install script but have held off:

Do/can I create a separate MSQL database for WP or should it be the same database, different pre-fix, as my VB installation?

Dumb q I know, but I would think it'd be critical.

Rabbit

You can have either the same database or separate. :)
