I have our site integrated. Brew did some great work here but I had to change A LOT of things to make this work correctly.

Things I'd still like to do when I have time:

1) Pull avatars over from vB. The php included in this hack was pretty sloppy. I didn't even look into it cause I mainly wanted to get the two integrated so I could open our pN site and allow new registrations.

2) Integrate PM system.

3) Integrate the vB calendar and the pN module ? PostCalendar.

4) Tighten up the banning integration, that code was somewhat sloppy as well. It was made for moderators, but wasn?t setup for admins to simply move a vB user into the banned group.

5) Tighten up User Group integration. If I get this straight banning will be all set as well.

6) Create frames so that vB forms appear in pN. I think there is a module out there called PostWrap ? dunno haven?t looked into this?

Just FYI, this hack creates a channel between vB and pN. Meaning, after it is implemented you will still have 2 mysql databases. Furthermore, user administration, registration, and all other features are done using the vB forms. After one of these vB forms are submitted there are small sql queries that update the pN database to reflect any changes. I don?t know about you but I like it this way. As I do more work and tighten up some of the features I mentioned above I?ll post a full release hack, unless someone else finishes one first.

Well I have a bridge on my site so until I get another vB for my other site I won't have much time to work on a non-bridged integration.

However I am in the process of working on the pm system and the profile system.

I have both using the same database.

Yes you can use PostWrap to display vB within PostNuke there are other ways to accomplish this as well. My soultion is not using postwrap.

You will all be able to see it when the site is finished, unless somebody would like to donate an extra license for me to use :)

Until then stay tuned.

sounds great.

yeah theres a mod called postwrap for pn but it opens things in a i fream so for forums you have two scroll bars you have to move the pn sites and then the i freams.

Looks good on your site, great work. if you accept donations, I'll be willing to donate when you done. Alot of heads are waiting for this. Btw on your site the "Affiliates" block, was that something you made?

I think the Affiliates Block is just a html block :) but i might be wrong.

But im looking farward to this hack being fully done has i now use postnuke for my main site.

my forum has the following stats:

Most users ever online was 130 on 08-12-2002 at 00:29
Members: 1,986

so adding postnuke to my vb database will be a big hit.

iv been waiting on this for along time... this is a must install... but i cant find my modules/NS-Your_Account/user/modules/user.php it doesnt exist.... :) thanx

anybody have an extra vB they want to donate to developing the hack further?

I'm willing to make a donation to get this moving too.

I'd really like to get this hack going, I have a pretty decently trafficked site (and it's only 4 months old!) and we have some beautiful hacks done (compared to comepeting sites) and this would be the icing on the cake.......

I am also interested in skins and the like. If we have talented peeps here, who could design a smooth skin/theme that would match my site, I am willing to pay for that as well. (emial rezin@cycleforums.com if interested)

Thanks for taking it this far, MANY of us anxiously await the outcome!
