I understand...

For my particular needs I only have 3 categories and wouldn't have any trouble managing it. Basically what I have done so far is to make sure that my Forum IDs are the same as my Category IDs. What I am trying to do now is force the forumid variable to use submitted category variable instead of the vb3-settings.php forumid.

E.G (from the "post.php" file)
However, I can't seem to figure out which variable is the correct one to pass in the above query. I have tried $post_category, $post_categories, $category_id... I just can't get it to pass... It keeps sending a "0"

Edit:

I did it!... Basically I just moved the hack code down below the category functions in the post.php left the variable as $post_category. And it's working great now. Thanks!

if i click here feed:http://www.cyberxp9.net/blog/?feed=rss2 (thats the link to subscribe to my feed for my blog) It says "feed is not a registered protocol" (in firefox)

take out the "feed:" in the URL. Use this instead: http://www.cyberxp9.net/blog/?feed=rss2

Any links to demo blogs?

You can see mine. I have it integrated with 3.5 also! http://blog.5solas.org

Thank you Darth Gill !

still doesnt work, it just shows the xml file :(

This is a nice hack! It's just what I need, with one minor (haha) problem: my bulletin board is a different database, and on a different server than my blog. My php and DB skills are pretty minimal, so does anyone know how to do this? I would dearly love to have the comments from my blog on my bulletin board!

Yeah, me too and I'm in the same situation as you Bad Astrono.

A workaround is probably to add the database name in the dbprefix variable like:

$vb_dbprefix = 'databasename.vb3_';

Also, in phpmyadmin, give full access to the wordpress user to the vb database. It might work.
