Ah, well, I can log out and have it posted. It's really no big deal. Thanks.

As for the vb_threadid issue, I just created the field myself and it all works perfectly now. Thanks for an awesome product.

No problem, now please click install. :)

Hello,

I just tried to install the bridge in our newsblog http://www.jdk.de/de/news

Everything is just fine - but we have one big problem: Trackbacks do no longer work. When a trackback is sent to the URL of the blogarticle a vbulleting error message shows up (URL not on POST whitelist).

Is there any chance to find a solution for this?

Regards,
Dennis

This plugin does not support trackbacks.

I saw that actually trackbacks are not supported. I think a Wordpress-Plugin which disables (or in this case just destroys) basic Wordpress features is a kind of useless.

Is there any module available where this bridging thing is disabled, but the threads are created in vB and the comments are shown in wordpress?

Or has anyone a hint for me how to modify the plugin to get this?

Thanks in advance!

Dennis

I noticed that a number of people experienced the issue where you cannot login to the wordpress control panel after install.

I am experiencing this same issue.

If anyone can comment on how this is fixed, it would be very helpful. I've been trying for hours and can't seem to figure it out :(

update #1:
i wiped everything from my server and started again.
i created a new sql db with one user, and that user act is used to access the db in both vb and wp.
my vb version is 3.6.5. my wp version is now 2.1.2.
i am running sql 4.1.20 set as mysqli in vb and php 5.2.1.
i installed a fresh copy of WP and a fresh copy of VB
i utilized vb prefixes in the vb install, and referenced it accordingly in the bridge install.
so far, everything works ok. my next step will be to use vb for the comments.
im not sure if its ok to use the same db user acct for both wp and vb to acces the db, but as i said, everything seems to work properly so far.
update #2:
i modified the classic template and everything seems to work. not sure what the problem was....

I am experiencing this same problem. The bridge conflicts with every other plugin (even hello dolly). The errors are as described in the quote above. I get the vb_threadid mysql error message, the headers error, and then then "Unable to load O." error when trying to use admin pages created by any other plugin (admin pages for themes, widgets, ecommerce, anything).

Since this plugin conflicts with every single other plugin I think its fair to say this isn't just a situation with someone else's code. This is such a nice and elegant plugin I would really like to see it play nicely with others.

I have a test forum I could give you full access to (wp-admin, vb admin, ftp, shell) if you would like to see this bug in action. PM, IM, or email me for details.

Thank you!

[EDIT]Looking into this a bit more I was able to get rid of the "Unable to load 0." by upgrading to your latest version, but there are persistent problems elsewhere. The database and headers error listed above happen every time you activate any plugin. The plugin is properly activated though, so this is just a nuisance rather than something causing a loss of unctionality.

The next error is in how certain parts of the wordpress admin interface is displayed. To me this is most noticeable in the shopping cart plugin. I can not edit any products. The area of the screen which re-draws to show the edit area instead displays the wordpress-admin dashboard. This, however, is not the only place this type of error occurs. The upload interface on the page edit pages similarly shows the wordpress-admin dashboard. The commonality between these two sections is they both have fields to upload a file.

Any chance we could get these bugs fixed?

Thanks for the plugin; I've got it working so vb users can comment on the wordpress blog :up:

However it's not quite how I wanted it to work.

This works ok:
primary group "Registered Users" -> "subscribers"

But this doesn't:
primary group "Registered Users" -> "Do Not Map"
additional users "Custom Group" -> "subscribers"

I wanted just the custom group to be able to comment rather than all registered users but can't get that to work. I'm guessing that since everyone in the "Custom Group" is also a "registered user" that the "do not map registered users" bit kicks in first?

Is there a way round this please?

thanks
kirsty

The mapping only works for PRIMARY user groups, not secondary.

Fair enough.

thanks
