Its 2.8 and I am not the mod author so I cannot update that post :)

well the sidebar login widget i found on wordpress works but not like it suppose to, it takes to the usercp instead of the profile when you click the profile link!

Great - but my problem when I ran it was that I had an impossible time logging in the wp-admin with it enabled, unfortunately.

With regard to WPMU, have you run it just to integrate logins? I understand the problem of having a MU blog to work properly with using it to redirect posts. What would be nice is to have a sole integration for membership alone. (Jafo is a good developer... I bought some of his worldwide plugins a long time ago.)

Hey, yeah - well if I enable HTML in the forum permissions, it parses fine ... but I was advised a few pages back that it wasn't really safe to have HTML enabled on my forums. (I see even here vbulletin.org, the HTML code is Off)

Are you talking about doing this somewhere other than forum permissions? For the life of me, I cannot find anywhere to give a usergroup permissions to post HTML in posts ... only in signatures (in User Group Settings)

I am very grateful for your help - trying to get this thing fixed tonight!

This modification seems really cool, but I was wonderign if somebody could please answer my questions:

1. Do Wordpress and vBulletin have to be in the same mySQL database, or can we use two separate databases?

2. I was reading the readme and it says that we have to make a "test post". So what this hack is doing is making posts in Wordpress AND vBulletin at the sametime?

3. If the answer to the above is yes - is it possible to ONLY use vBulletin's user repository in Wordpress? I am not interested in having duplicate posts in WP and vB. I only want the registered user system to be shared.

Thanks.

The logins only work through vb when the plugin is activated.


1. You can use separate.
2. Yes
3. Yes

Oh sorry, I am using this mod for that, I missed it:

According to RS_Jelle, as said here.
So this mod is what you should use. Works on the latest version too.

Sweet - that's what I was looking for! Now - any clue on how to make it quit posting as userID 1 in the forums, even though I clearly have the userID and userName as a totally different user in the vbridge settings? (when I first installed this and tested it, I used #1 ... and it seems to be caching or saving that somewhere, and the changes I'm making in vbridge settings aren't overwriting it).

Only the mod author can answer that. I am not sure how he is doing that in the code. I tried to change the ID manually in the code but that made things worse. Started giving errors so I didn't bother. For me, its fine because I want user ID 1 to post to forums :)

Try changing it in the database in phpmyadmin.

Hey, so, are you saying you had the same issue with the userID, if you try changing it in the vbridge settings, it doesn't work for you either?)

I suppose I could keep using id1 - it's just my personal login as the admin, and I didn't want the articles to post on my userID, because it makes it appear that I wrote the articles ... so I'd created a new userID that was an Admin, that was a generic userID, tied to the site, and not a personal identity, if that makes sense.
