A new commercial plug-in is in the works for this issue.

Wordpress and vBulletin User Database and Skin Integration Project

WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is a free blogging system that be extended and used a full blown Content Management System.

vBulletin is the leading forum software on the internet. Together vB and Wordpress can create beautiful websites that can be flexible, expandable and scalable.

This project is a product that is easy to install and easy to integrate, you will need to install Wordpress and install this product as a Wordpress plug-in.

Wordpress and vBulletin integration plug-in features:

Entirely self-contained within a plug-in. It provides seamless integration with your existing theme with full theme customization, use of your existing WordPress users table, search, pretty permalinks, full moderator controls and RSS feeds for individual forums, topics and users.

• * User Database Integration: Integrates existing accounts into Wordpress.
• * Invidual Database Support: Wordpress and vB DO NOT need to have the same databse for this plug-in to work.
• * New Registration Integration: Wordpress will use vB's registration process to create new accounts for its blogging/cms.
• * Skin Integration: Wordpress will insert header, footer and CSS templates into vB's header and footer bit template for full skin integration. A great example of this would be the following blog: http://www.newathens.org Note Wordpress site above.

I installed this plugin fine.
However when I add in the comments, bit
My wordpress is at: www.mydomain.com/beta
vbulletin: www.mydomain.com/beta/testvb

settings in options: Forum URL: http://www.mydomain.com/beta/testvb
Forum Relative Path: /testvb

I get the following error:

thanks

I just tried upgrading. Deactivated the plugin. Uploaded the new file. Clicked activate. But it doesn't activate. A little frustrating since it was sorta working before (see my last post listing all the bugs this plugin causes).

Is anyone running this with the new wordpress 2.2? If so did you run into any problems with this plugin when you upgraded. We have 2.1.3 right now with the plugin working (took some time to get it to work but finally got it working) anyway, want to see if it was difficult to reactivate the plugin after the upgrade before we do it!

I guess I wasn't very clear. What I meant above is that I just upgraded to WP 2.2 and couldn't get the plugin to activate anymore.

I'm having an issue where all my registered users are now getting an error when trying to use the reply feature on my site. vBulletin is telling them:Any ideas?

Did you upgrade with the plugin installed before? Or did you install/upgrade to 2.2 then install the plugin? Took me so long to get this plugin to work right, just want to make sure that upgrading will not cause more problems with the plugin.

Also if you did upgrade with the plugin already installed, did you have to go back and reconfigure everything to get it working again or did you just reactivate it and everything still worked ok?

whoops. ;)

fixed.

I've installed everything according to the plugin guide but whenever i try to save/publish a post it just gives me a blank page at post.php . Anyone know a fix for this? It's a great hack, but it's just not working :| I am using a fresh installation with no vb plugins. Thanks
