Beta 0.0.2 introduces a major change in how Joomla handles modules. Traditionally Joomla wraps module content in one of 4 wrappers - div, 3 div, table or raw. The code of frontend.php and frontend.html.php has been rewritten so that now Joomla calls the vbulletin template engine to perform the wrapping process. The exact wrap used depends on which module position was used. The tradeoff (for the moment) is the moduleclass suffix is ignored. However this allows for much more powerful templating of the module blocks than CSS can hope to offer. It also moves the control of the module appearance fully into the vbulletin template engine which I'll wager will be more familiar to users than Joomla's engine anyway.

Tomorrow night I will do the same thing to Joomla's com_content component. Most Joomla content goes through this component so that should complete the skinning process - just keep in mind that 3rd party modules may use wildly different schema for populating their content block.

Also progress is being made on the module to view recent threads out of the vbulletin database. For those familiar with vbAdvanced you'll find most of the same options in the Joomla version of the latest topics module - but one major difference is the Joomla version will have a caching system so that instead of loading the recent threads on each view of the thread list at set intervals. This is for large boards like ENWorld where such queries can slow down the system noticeably.

Keep very close watch on this.
I had joomla for a year or so before i got too tired of it. Integration is the worst. Template is another problem.

Now, look forward to seeing this to fruition.

Very interested in this. I haven't been able to find a decent bridge so far. This looks promising!

Anyone have a good example of using joomla (integrated or not) as a "____ of the month" type thing?

bbpixel doesn't bridge the template engines - therefore if you want a site to have a unified look and feel you have no choice but to skin the thing TWICE. vJoomla uses vbulletin's template engine and throws away Joomla's master template engine (modules can however still call and use patTemplate to build their content).

bbpixel is more mature than vJoomla having been around for a couple years. I'm working to get most of the same functionality in place as quickly as possible. The main obstacle - getting the bridge itself to work, has been accomplished.

These are the main differences. For the record I purchased bbpixel and was vastly disappointed in their customer service and how they implemented the bridge, so I wrote my own.


Thank you very much for your explination!

It's a good thing the bbpixel bridge only cost $20.

From my research, it seemed as if it was the only viable option out there.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread religiously!

WHat about a module for having new articles create threads in vB?
