I have installed this mod and it was painless and appears to be working beautifully!

I do have a question, are there instructions on the other settings (i.e. Access Settings, Profile Fields, etc.). Is there anyway to allow certain vBulletin Usergroups to be Authors on the blog, opposed to just Subscribers?

The Profile fields are used to transfer first name, last name of the user, etc from forum to blog in case when user registers account in vB.

Access settings are used to restrict auto login to blog, for example the person who signs in from forum, might not be in to blog automatically or person who signs in from blog should be signed in automatically in both platforms.

Where are you collecting votes? I would like to vote and possibly offer to pay for this to be compatible with 3.8

So far we basically listen to the people who are interested in this and collaborating in a forum to do this then would be able to split the amount contribution between them.

It would be great to see a Joomla plugin made as there is not one out yet, i would be happy to pay to get this.

Dear,

We are ready to schedule the work to make the product vBulletin 3.x compatible and waiting for your +1 for vBulletin 3.x for coming weeks.

Right after that I will contact all of you to discuss the contribution amount immediately and schedule the process to release the compatibles updates.

Thank you all for your interest!

That would be feasible certainly.

We are going to start collecting the votes regarding the Joomla and Drupal plugins by the end of this month to get you all support us and make this happen and released this summer.

This is great news to hear :)

+1 from me.

I hope it gets underway soon. I can pay my contribution as soon as your ready. Let me know the contribution amount you had in mind and if its reasonable I'd be willing to go beyond that amount to speed this process up if possible.

Yes, it does. We have been working on the estimation these weeks, meanwhile getting the votes.

Don't hesitate to put your +1 vote to make vBSSO working and vBulletin 3.x compatible.

Hello!

Me again.

I turned debugging on in Wordpress for other reasons--but noticed I am getting this error in reference to the vbSSO plugin:

Notice: Use of undefined constant IS_PROFILE_PAGE - assumed 'IS_PROFILE_PAGE' in /home/blah/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/vbsso/vbsso.php on line 61

The code at line 61 is:
if (IS_PROFILE_PAGE) {
add_action('profile_personal_options', 'vbsso_profile_personal_options');
}

Any thoughts?

It doesn't impact to the functionality of the plugin. The reason is WordPress defines this constant in case of profile page only and doesn't in other cases. We will put update of the WordPress plugin this month and it will include the required fix.

Hi,
First of all thanks for the plugin, it works very nice vB and wordpress sided. However i have come across a error.

After setting it up today, it seems to be fully working however when i goto wordpress when im logged out of both sides then click Login via wordpress it chucks me to a 403 forbidden page.

Now i have checked to see if the file is there and indeed it's there, not sure what is really causing this?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Could you please try to check if your url address something like below is accessible from browser.

If file exists but url is not accessible, hence the reason of this might be a web server configuration settings. If url is accessible I would you like to send us the log files collected by vbsso/logs/ folder.

Ok so i tested on localhost, it seems its a cURL issue with my host. Not exactly sure but i need to speak with them about it and see what is causing it.

As for the other issue now, on localhost when i click login it takes me just to the forum index, regardless of what i set the url to in the admin. Is there a way to bypass this and make it hit the login page correctly?

In case of CURL issue you might like to ask your hosting provider to make it working. So, regarding the login url, please make sure login url is specified under vBSSO settings page in admin area and it points to full url address starting from http:// or https://.

The updated plugins were just released and available for download at http://vbsso.com/download/

Amazing stuff! Works perfectly. Now I just need to figure out how to link back to a custom simple login screen and I'll be all set. Thanks!

You are free to set the full http address of custom login page at admincp > vBSSO > vBulletin Links > "Login link".

nice mod, tagging this so I have a record

Excellent mod, very useful. We've been having an issue though (we've just installed the latest version). When the plugin is enabled, we can't view profile pages, the following is displayed instead:

There's another symptom: when the vbSSO plugin is enabled (including when enabling it), we get this error message when enabling/disabling plugins: These all disappear when the vbSSO plugin is disabled.

We didn't make any adjustments in our libraries we use and the cause of the 1st issue might be because you didn't copy all the files to the destination folder and vbsso is unable to find some of these libraries.

2nd issue is actually related to vBulletin. vBulletin is able to be switched on to cache css in files and the certain folders have to have a correct permissions to handle this. It looks like vBulletin tries to update its caches and throws such error.

If you have any other issues you are free to drop me a message to PM and we will take a look at your installation.

Hi all,

How to configure this plug-in still don't know anything, any tutorial step by step?

Thanks,

Here it is http://vbsso.com/platforms/vbulletin/

I've tried that one but its always show this message
The logs give this error :
Thanks

If you are sure you correctly installed vBSSO WordPress plugin, please drop me a links to your WP via PM to let me take a look, however it looks like you installed something improperly.

Add me to the list of Joomla integration.

I am curious how this works though... I have a WP site (currently being moved to Joomla) with thousands of users. I also have vBulletin forum with several thousand users. Does this software "link" accounts either by username or email address, or will this program create a new account in WP?

Collected the vote. vBSSO links accounts on similarity of email/username or create new ones if necessary.

Installed and working nicely with WP so far. Out of curiosity... how does it know what usergroup to assign the vB user to in WP? Does it just default to Subscriber?

Also, any timetable on the Joomla version? I'm excited to get my hands on that.

Right.

We are unable to open it so far, because it depends on the certain factors we are dependent on. Please welcome to keep watching the thread and you will be definitely apprised.

Well, I'm willing to throw a little extra in the donation I'm planning if it will expedite the process. ;)

Have you thought about using jfusion from jfusion.org it has an intergrated system that works, with joomla, vbulletin and gallery2, and other software as well. I have been using it for a couple of years now, with minimal problems.

I have it installed but it doesn't seem the sync properly, though everything is installed correctly. This program seems much simpler to configure and maintain too.

Their solution is welcome to be used keeping in mind that the master users table in their case is Joomla. If you have your websites hosted on different hosts and access to database is firewalled, or your websites are located on different domains I'm not sure these are supported by their product and their approach had a lot of the limitations influenced us to start with vBSSO some time ago. At that moment we didn't use Joomla and were not going to use it for a long time.

vBSSO doesn't perform a full sync as soon as it is installed. It tries to link account as soon as account is used. Anyway in case of the tech questions you are always welcome to drop me a PM message.

Can anyone help ?

I'm getting "page not found" when clicking platforms & access settings in the acp.

Probably me being dumb but a point in the right direction would be appreciated :)

It might happen if you didn't download all the files from upload folder(installation package). Could you please check if you uploaded everything from upload/admincp/ to forum/admincp folder?

The only file in the admin folder that's downloaded is vbsso.php is that correct ?

Right. If you named admincp folder differently in your vBulletin configuration, vbsso.php should be uploaded to that folder. Is it still saying "page not found"?
