My client wants this plugin to work differently than it is working. I have copied and pasted what he said below:

I have made the modifications that were in the readme file but it has not seemed to do diddly to anything. Did I miss something somewhere?

Really need an answer here please. I need to know how to take out the comment box on wordpress & just have the link with the amount of comments on wordpress that link to the forums.

Is it possible to make Wordpress/Vbulletin Bridge to NOT to Auto Integrate the users...

What I am trying to do is, make the comments postable on vBulletin and selected users on Wordpress who can post stuff... Which means, it will be cross posted to vB as well, but whoever wants to comment on it, needs to login to the forums to do so.

Thanks.

Hi

vb 3.68 and wordpress 2.3 newset download. I just tried to integrate. Does not work. I have installed WP in teh same database, but with different prefixes.

vb and WP are on the same server & domain, but with different subdomains

I also changed the username of admin via phpmyadmin to be not in conflict with anything.

The problem is, that I even does not come to the step ti bridge the suer db. If I logout to see wjetehr ether is any bug, I get the error:

"cannot load /my_absolut_path_to/wordpress/global.php. You should check your path!"

"wordpress" is the dierctory in which I installed wordpress. I guess it is wrong that it tries to take thet path, since within WP, teher is no file called "global.php".

So what did I do wrong?

It is trying to get global.php from your VBULLETIN install, not WP..

ok, so where do I have to change what to make it right?

after hours and hours of mistakes, I finally got this working.

LOVE IT!

Couple questions.

1. I cannot get the url rewrites to work in wordpress, it seems the only way to work this is with standard WP crap urls?
2. Will this work with any vbSEO type hack? Are there any free ways to rewrite my urls in WP and VB with this hack installed?

I am getting this from a few users.

Only in IE though.

I can confirm that correcting line 400 will fix the "admin-db.php" error for Wordpress v2.3. I'm not sure what "commenting out" means but I redirected the path to "wp-includes/wp-db.php" and now bridged forum users can view the blog without a problem.

Thanks for the tip Alan. This saved me a lot of time.

Like many, many, many of the other people posting on this thread, I had the problem where I was being redirected away from /wp-admin even after I had mapped the users and had logged in using vBulletin.

I spent 2hours and 40 minutes trying to get this plugin to work. 2 hours and 30 minutes of that time was spent reading all 40 pages in this thread in hopes to discover a fix for my problem. Somewhere around page 30, Jafo kindly announced that he was refusing to help anyone who posted here looking for answers with this problem.

I was so close to just giving up. Just as I was about to smash my stupid laptop to pieces for being a lying bastard that wouldn't just let me into my damned admin panel, the answer came to me. I stood frozen with my MacBook raised high above my head, mere seconds away from hurling it to the hard-wood floor as visions of vBulletin control panels, PHP code and David Hasselhoff flashed before my eyes. It was at that moment that I knew that in order to get into the /wp-admin section, I needed to follow these steps:

1. Follow Jafo's install directions
2. After the plugin is successfully installed, register a new user with the EXACT SAME username as your WordPress administrator username. I was using "admin" to log into WP, so I created a VB user with the same name, "admin."
3. Log out your newly created user
4. Log back into VB with your VB administrator username.
5. Go to the VB Admin Control Panel
6. Click the "Users" category in the menu on the left side
7. Click "Search for Users" in the sub-menu that appears
8. Find your newly created user -- "admin" in my case
9. Change the Primary Group to "Administrators" and click save
10. Log out the current user
11. Log back in with the user you just set to "Administrators" -- again, this was "admin" for me.
12. Direct your browser to http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin and cheer!

I hope this helps someone. I did some cursing, a little punching and a lot of weeping in the 2 hours and 40 minutes that it took me to figure this out. If anyone is having problems following these directions, reply or PM me and I'll do my best to get back to you.

Word to your mothers,
Eric
