Do you have any plug-ins or products running on your Vbulletin install?

The latest version 2.12

The whole thing works. The only weird aspect is that I can't edit themes. Thats the only section of wordpress that is giving me trouble. I uploaded the tools.php and reset the cookie. That wasn't the problem.

GOOD CALL

For reference this mod is not compatable with gXboxLive

I'll look for an alternative to the xbox live one becuase this one rocks

If you want help making them compatable let me know

Hmm, I tested this on three different installs and all of them let me edit themes. I had never checked to see if it is an issue because I always edit themes directly (FTP).

It does sound like a permission problem. I am going to be REAL busy for the next 7-10 days so I can't delve into it at the moment.

I am not familiar with the that product, but I am assuming that it is inserting a variable in the $_GET array but that is just a guess..

This MIGHT work and might not, but at the beginning of the vbridge.php right after the <?php tag (new line) add this code:

This should disable the VB plugin/product system for the wordpress session only. It will still leave the hook system on when running VB. Let me know.

Two things:
I can't edit plugins either.

and

I think it only lets me login into wordpress with my vb username. Does this have to do with the whole level 10 admin stuff?

If the user has the role of administrator, then the level should not matter.

Not to be an ass or anything, but are there any good examples that aren't google ad whores? More ads dne more money.

As far as I can tell, all this does is create wordpress blog posts based on new threads via the RSS and allows members to post comments, right? If that's the case, what's the point?

Is there anything that allows my users post comments directly to the wordpress posts (not a thread in the forum, but just the wordpress comment system), and then adds things like the user's ID name, avatar, post count, etc?

Basically, I have Wordpress; I want my members to be able to post comments to the wordpress entry. I want their avatars to show up along with some other basic user information. Is there a hack that simply does this?

Not to show you as an ass, but the answer is no.

This post allows you to bridge users from you VB user base to your Wordpress blog. You are free to create new threads from posts if you wish but it is not necessary. You can continue to use WP just as it is, using the built in WP comments code, and only use the plugin to bridge users.

Hi, I am excighted about getting this plugin runnning but am having some problems. When I post a comment, it doesnt show up in the forum

Here are the steps I have taken
Wordpress version 2.1.2
http://www.ringerstuff.com/
but the folder wp is in is actually /wordpress
VB version 3.6.5
http://www.ringerstuff.com/forums/
Both installs are using the same db
Only other pluggin active is Spam Karma 2


Ok so I uploaded it into my wp plugins folder and activiated the plugin
then went to vbridge options and entered the following.
VB User ID: 1
VB Username: John
VB Forum ID: 3
Forum URL:http://www.ringerstuff.com/forums/
Forum Relative Path:/forums
Database Prefix:vbulletin_
Turn Auto-Integrate On: NO
Post Articles To Forum: Yes
I posted a test comment and it doesnt post to the forum.

Can someone help

Comments wont post to the forum while you are testing. You need to make a test POST in wordpress and see if it posts to the forum. Once you are sure of this, you can finish as it states in the readme.

In the readme, it will tell you what to edit in your template to enable comments.

Wow, i feel stupid for missing that one! :) thanks all is good

Doesnt work for me. Using latest wordpress and vbulletin 3.6.5.
M facing this issue https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....3&postcount=49

Users including me show up as not logged in even after loggin in from vb. I cannot access wordpress admin panel from /wp-admin/index.php
it takes me to vbulletin instead.

Clean installed wordpress twice for this after deleting the tables in database. Still facing same issue.
Help would be appreciated. I cant start blogging until the integration takes place.
If this plugin works it would surely rock

Regards

Are you using subdomains? What settings did you use on the options page?

Yes I am using subdomains. I hard coded the path.
http://blog.mydomain.com is my blog site
http://www.mydomain.com/forum is the forum url


I hard coded My posts appear in the forum. The only issue is the integration. Users coming from the forum remain logged out . On clicking the login link in wordpress it takes back to the forum homepage. and I am getting log out error. " There was an error in log out. Please click here to log out " . Also i cannot access wordpress admin through /wp-admin it takes me to forum home page.

As i said earlier, i cannot start blogging till this issue is sorted out. If you want i can reinstall wordpress as no content is present. I have done it twice. deleted tables and reinstalled wp.

If you want to take a look at my site , let me know. I will pm you details.

As stated numerous times in this thread, this plugin probably won't work with sub-domains. Cookie issues.

OK, I got all the way to the step where I am told to map my users through the user tab and I get this error:

WordPress database error: [Table 'jalopy.vb3_usergroup' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM vb3_usergroup

I have checked and double checked my database prefix in the config.php file and all is cool... What could I be doing wrong?

What did you enter for the prefix in the options? vb3 or vb3_?

vb3_

Just use vb3

That returned this error:

WordPress database error: [Table 'jalopy.vb3usergroup' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM vb3usergroup

I also tried just leaving it blank... and that didn't work either...

Either WP and VB are not sharing the same database as required, or vb3 or vb3_ cannot be your database prefix..

They are both sharing the same database, but I have two mysql servers slaving off one another... This might be the issue... I have an idea. Check your pms if you don't mind.

BTW, EXCELLENT mod.

Replied to you via pm..

Ok. Removed the subdomain.

Now the paths : http://www.mydomain.com/blog
http://www.mydomain.com/forum

Deleted tables. Reinstalled wp.
Still the same login problem.

Are you checking remember my when you login?

I like the vbulletin posting system, can this plugin allow me to use the vbulletin posting system (ie: I create a thread using vbulletin) and it will appear in my wordpress page?

No, in fact it does the opposite.

For those that use word press and VB together was the best way to set it up.

http://www.yoursite.com/forums vb
http://www.yoursite.com/name wordpress

or did you purchase a new domain name

new to word press but a lot of user use it :rolleyes:

I also like my forums the way they are but I Guess this just adds posts to word press as it will let your users have there own word press page is this correct..

No, you are not correct. All this does is bridge users from your VB forum to your WP blog. Whether you give certain VB usergroups the right to post is up to you, but they will be posting to one blog, not a new blog for each user.

Wordpress and Vbulletin must be installed on the same domain name, it cannot be done on two separate domain names.

Thanks as I will have to look at some of the example site to see how all this looks

so am i correct in saying that its ok for wordpress and vbulletin to be installed in different directory's but under the same domain name?

Yes, you are correct.

Hello, I'm running Vbulletin Version 3.6.4

And wordpress 2.11

And I am getting this error when trying to psot from Wordpress into vbulletin

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare timer_start() (previously declared in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/website.co.uk/httpdocs/wp-settings.php:58) in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/website.co.uk/httpdocs/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 37

Do you have any ideas?

I have no idea where you are getting the file bootstrap.inc from. Is this from a Vbulletin plugin? You can try adding this line towards the top in vbbridge.php right near similar lines:

Hello,

After I upgraded to Wordpress 2.1 (latest version) and upgraded this plugin, I am now having problems when trying to activate any other plugins. I keep receiving this error.

WordPress database error: [Duplicate column name 'vb_threadid']
ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD vb_threadid INT(10)

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/admin/domains/bostonerotic.net/public_html/board/press/wp-includes/wp-db.php
Line: 121

Though, if I hit the back button, the plugin is activated. Though, if I try to publish, I get this error from the podcast plugin (these two may just clash, hopefully you can recommend a fix).

Warning: Attempt to assign property of non-object in /press/wp-content/plugins/podpress/podpress_admin_class.php on line 540

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/admin/domains/bostonerotic.net/public_html/board/includes/class_core.php:3036) in /press/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 275

Thank you in advance for any and all help.

Update: It is not just the podcasting widget that the bridge is not compatible with, it is all the Widgets. I have Sidebar Widgets installed and when the vb bridge is activated the Sidebar Widgets returns this error when you click on it, "Unable to load O.".

Now activating anything with the vb bridge active still returns the first error about the duplicate thread and header.

I would really like to be able to use plugins, most especially the widget plugins with this.

Please Help...

Are you positive you upgraded to the latest version of this plugin? That issue shouldn't really exist.

As with any plugin, this may conflict with other plugins you have activated. There is no way for anyone to write one that may not be affected by other third party code.

I get a very similar response to that. I'm not running any other plug-ins aside from the defaults. I have a fresh install of WP 2.1 (latest version, downloaded today) and just downloaded your plug-in today.

"WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'vb_threadid' in 'field list']
UPDATE wp_posts set vb_threadid = 311 WHERE ID = 6

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/.gerber/jackfrost/digitaldevildb.com/wp/wp-includes/wp-db.php:121) in /home/.gerber/jackfrost/digitaldevildb.com/wp/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 275"

It does publish to the forum if I go and check, but WP itself shows that error and stops.

Thanks for any help.

Also, I have the plug-in set to post under the name of Jack News. However, if I'm logged into vB under my normal admin name (Tony) it posts under Tony. If I'm logged out it posts as Jack News. Is there a way to force it to be Jack News even if I'm logged in as Tony? Hopefully that makes sense.

If you are logged in as Tony, it will post as Tony. That is the point of integration.

When you click activate, it creates that column vb_threadid, not sure why yours did not. Try deactivating then activating the plugin.
