This truely is a great mod Jafo. I installed it with absolutely no problems and made a small donation.

Thank you sir :up:

Updated Repost...

I'm using fresh installs of 3.6.5 vbulletin, 2.1.3 wordpress in the same DB.

If you don't mind letting me know the status of these bugs listed below, answers like:

• Unknown bug, will investigate
• Known issue, will fix.
• Known issue, hack to fix available
• Known issue, will not fix
• As designed, will not fix
• Feature request, will implement
• Feature request, will not implement

The wp-admin panel is broken/buggy in numerous ways.

• The uploads section in the "write post"page is broken when the plugin is active. It seems that the code for the forum post dropdown list is conflicting with the code to display the upload bar properly.
• Editors have to login to the forums, then refresh the wp-admin at least twice before they can see the wp dashboard. Sometimes they need to login 3 or 4 times before the wp-admin panel will come up. Clicking "remember me" is not an option for some of my editors (don't ask why) but even then, that doesn't always work either.
• Logging out is broken. Pressing "log out" from the wp-dashboard sends me to --> vb logout page. But if I immediately go back to my wp-admin URL, I'm still logged in and able to make changes. This problem requires a cookie refresh/mass delete via IE options before it can be resolved.
• There is an issue with new editors that are registered through VB that I want to be "editors" of the WP blog via mapping, where their username don't show up in the dropdown list when making new WP posts. I still have no idea how to fix this and I have lots of editors stepping on each other now when the make posts since WP seems to choose a default username that doesn't match that of their VB username.
• Deleting a post in WP doesn't delete the post in VB. So if one of my editors of the WP blog is not a VB admin, or just not savvy with VB, I'm stuck deleting posts for them.

Also, a few wish list features:

• I wish there was a way to set a "default" forum to post into, having a dropdown list of available forums has created another step for my not-so-web-savvy editors to go through in order to make a functional post with working comments. I'd love to have an option to disable the "post in" dropdown list alltogether, letting me force all posts into a single forum. Is there an easy PHP hack I can make here to force this? I noticed another poster asking for this multiple times earlier in this thread.
• Is there a way to augment the post that is going into the forum through WP? Right now a WP post is copied into a forum verbatim. I'd like to insert : Author info and /quote the entire post. How would I go about doing that?

Hi, just installed worpress on my new VB3.6.6 forum with Vbulletin bridge but I am having a problem but I believe it is just a simple one...

I got a database error... Invalid SQL:
UPDATE session SET newposts = newposts+1 WHERE NOT ISNULL(newposts);

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'newposts' in 'where clause'
Error Number : 1054

So I got the paths wrong but how do I fix it...

Mike.

FANTASTIC!
I have just installed this mod, by reading the instructions VERY CAREFULLY.

Working perfectly first time.

Thanks:)

I seem to be having the same problem. I assume this hasn't been fixed then?

Running on VB 3.6.4 and WP 2.1.3 at www.gamerscouncil.com/forums/ and www.gamerscouncil.com/news/

Please let me know if you need more info

How are you posting to the forum if you cannot get to the admin panel. In order to post, you need to be in the control panel. Kind of lost me there..

Also, make sure you have mapped usergroups correctly and keep in mind the mapping is for PRIMARY usergroups only.

Are you thinking maybe some day do this bridge for WPMU?

thanks!

see'a

I think I made a mistake myself. After posting a few messages I turned on auto integrate, since then the admin redirected to the forum index.

excellent mod jafo, :)

these two bugs need serious attention though. For the moment i have just removed the links

# Editors have to login to the forums, then refresh the wp-admin at least twice before they can see the wp dashboard. Sometimes they need to login 3 or 4 times before the wp-admin panel will come up. Clicking "remember me" is not an option for some of my editors (don't ask why) but even then, that doesn't always work either.

I have some additional thoughts around bugs and features that I didn't see specifically mentioned in the other pages for this product (btw 26 pages is a lot of feedback).

Bugs (or so I think):
-----
1. After you login to VB and then try to access the wordpress administration page you have to enter try to do so two times before it works. Here is what I mean:

I go to http://www.mysite.com/forum and login successfully. I can now see my forum home page. I decide to create a post and head over to http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin to do so. When I type that into the browser bar and press enter i am redirected back to the main forum page. If I do it a second time it works as expected. I can recreate this if you need to see it (PM me for the real address).

2. (This might be WP bug as well.) When I create a wordpress post using the Visual Rich Editor that post might have quotes around text. Standard quotes seem to post to both WP and VB just fine. However they could also be fancy quotes. These seem to post to WP okay but they show up as in the forum thread. Again I have examples of this if you want to see them.

Features
-----
1. The form widget that gets added the post creation page in wordpress that is used to select which forum you want to put your post in could be more useful. Right now it is just a list of all your forums including subcategories. The problem is that if you have more than one subcategory with the same name under a forum you don't have a reference of relationship to work with to chose the proper one. I would like to see two things related to this.

A.) A wider form widget. I would like to see it wider and longer which would help my second "like to have".

B.) Displayed relationships between Top Level and Sub Category (even if only one level). Here is what I envision. This would show the forums in a logic order and would show the subcategory relation to the parent.

Top Level Forum 1
--> Subcategory 1
--> Subcategory 2

Top Level Forum 2
--> Subcategory 1
--> Subcategory 2

Top Level Forum 3
--> Subcategory 1
--> Subcategory 2

Question:
-----
1. Now that VB 3.6.7 is out are you going to make any significant updates to this plug-in to support that version? That is assuming anything is really needed. Mainly just a curious question.

Thanks again for your work on this plugin. It is working great for us with only few minor irritations.
