Its very nice for you to release a free bridge, its about time someone ran them people asking for money out of buisness! But may i ask, why not use on a live board? I mean if all you did was change the sql query's and abit of code, not much security issues can arise can it?

Darn, I use Mambo! LOL This has been on a lot of peoples wish list for some time, thank you for taking it on.

I don't have the time to develop two different bridges. I'm undergoing this massive bit of hacking how Joomla displays content because a constant bugbear I've had at work is my clients, several design firms, hate tables as markup with a purple passion. Joomla uses tables extensively in content.html.php and frontend.html.php. Rather than continuing bickering with them I'm branching off Joomla to allow templates to drive the content pages -- the vbulletin template engine in the case of vJoomla and the patTemplate engine in the case of my contract work (The only difference between these two is the line that calls the template). If you want to integrate Joomla and retain the ability to use Joomla templates then I strongly recommend you look into bbpixel's bridge which has that functionality. $20 is not a lot to ask for a piece of software these days.

That isn't my intent. By the time it is completed this bridge will be quite different from bbpixel in several notable ways. The reason I am working on it is I need a unified template engine - something that bbpixel's bridge doesn't offer.

I have a live board that will be going up with this in two weeks if all goes well. There will be a vast difference between this early beta and the finished product between now and then.

Hi and thanks for a great mod, would this work with the Joomla component community builder?

Will this bridge enable joomla / vb search integration?

Almost certainly not. Community Builder builds on the Joomla user table, and vJoomla disables that table in favor of using the vbulletin one.

Not initially.

Sounds promising!

I concur 100%. Their support is almost null after you make the purchase. Too bad my current website is so heavily hacked and using the BBpixel solution, because if not, I would be willing to help you out with beta testing on my site.

I will keep an eye on this thread though. It looks extremely promising and probably in the future, I would make the move from BBPixel to this hack. Keep up the excellent work! :up:

Im keeping a real close eye on this one.
Ive looked at Joomla several times in the past but couldant find any acceptable way to intergrate it into a vB based site.

Very Interested. :)

I love it when there are hacks that I will actually use.

Many thanks to all coders, and all those who continously make these scripts on a day to day basis just to help us unify for something better. :)

Downloading and going to test it out tomorrow.

PATIENTLY WAITING FOR V1... did I shout that?

oopsies...
