How can I show the VB userbar inside WP ?

Has anyone else had trouble with the plugin turning itself OFF, randomly? I've not touched the settings, and on 2 occassions now over the last couple of weeks, we've got to write posts, and noticed the forum menus aren't listed at the bottom of the page, and an attempt to save a draft gives errors ... we go into Settings, and the plugin is turned off ... but I didn't turn it off.

Odd.

Are we assuming the original developer has ceased support - nobody has heard from them in a long time, right?

Forgive me is this was already addressed and I missed it but --

If I hid / removed the comments from the wordpress side -- can I have the bridge post a link to the thread it created on the forums?

I met the same problem with you, the visual editor couldn't show well.
My version is 3.8.3.

So, how you resoved it?

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read() on a non-object in /home/forumzed/public_html/portal/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 475

oh, this hack is tooooooooooo bad.. so many problems and fatal error met when installing.
Cost my too much time.

I'm using this Mod with WP 2.8 (and I did the upgrade with this mod and integration turned on). It worked perfectly at install -- mostly. So, those of you getting install problems I can only assume are not correctly following the directions.

There are many implications to this mod that are difficult to anticipate until you start using it in testing.

My only continuing problem is the "Author" problem. WP expects the Admin account to be #1. But, my VB Admin account is userID=3 and there is no userID=1 in my vB. So, much of the time the "Author" is shown as blank. Well, it shows blank, but it actually has userID=1 in the post, but since there is no #1 it is blank.

If I click on Publish in the QuickEdit section of WP. It will put my correct user ID on my posts. However, if someone else has written the post it also changes the author to me when I publish the post. That's not good. It shows me as the author of everything.

I gave up on trying to get Avatars and such from VB into posts here. I never could get that to work.

I've had some problems with the media upload, but by using the browser upload instead of the Flash upload all is fine.

When setting it up I knew I wouldn't be using the post back to VB option, but I still set it up to do that as per the install instructions and then I just turned that feature off after I was sure it was working.

I posted to let folks know that it does work. And works pretty well. So, keep working on it. It would be great if someone adopted this mod, and took over working on it for the future. WP is too important to VB at this point and time and the two need to REALLY work together.

I'm to the point where I'm going to just disconnect the forum and blog, almost. Here's my current issues:

1. As mentioned above, whoever live-publishes a post, that person shows as the author (in vBulletin only), not the true author. I have 3 writers, only 2 of which can publish posts, so this is a problem.
2. Scheduled posts now correctly show the author, sort of. When viewing the thread in the forum, it shows MainPage (or whatever I have in the first two setting fields), and registers as a guest. However, when you open the thread, it shows the correct author as the first post. Since I have my vBulletin set so that guests cannot start threads (encourages registration and minimizes spam), this is a major problem.
3. The forum/subforum selection box isn't fully integrated into the Wordpress post creation page, which means it's difficult to make mobile-friendly. Not a big deal to most of you, likely, but a major deal to me.
4. The forum/subforum selection box doesn't save my selection. I.e. if an author chooses a subforum, and then my editor opens the post, that selection is lost, and the editor has to remember to reset it.
5. Unapproved comments show up on the Wordpress site when you've got your comments integrated.
6. With auto-integrate of users turned on, XMLRPC doesn't work, which is again a major ordeal for me.

I really wanted to use vBulletin as my comment engine, as it seems to offer everything I wanted for my community. However, this mod is a royal pain to deal with, and there's virtually zero support for it. I would be willing to donate $50-100 again, but only if *all* of these issues are fixed. I would bet that more people would donate, too, so that we could offer *someone* some real reimbursement.

At this point, I'm investigating converting my forum from vBulletin to phpBB, since that platform has multiple wordpress bridges, both of which are actually updated. That just sucks cause I bought a lifetime license for vBulletin, thinking it was the best. Either that, or I'll just run the forum as a standalone 'feature' of my site, and go back to using Wordpress' built-in comment system. Ugh.

As someone that moved from PHPBB to VB I don't think I'd ever do that just for the CMS in Wordpress. But that was a few years ago and maybe it's different now. Your mileage may vary.
