Help me plezzz if any 1 know somethinggggg ???

thnxxx

I see the comment that it works in VB 3.8 and WordPress 2.7, which is perfect! I am planning on moving to this setup as our main article CMS script. There is one issue in the directions which may end up being a sticking point for me, though.

I run two different content-driven sites that posts reviews and articles and has used our own, home-brewed, CMS since they started over 5 years ago. The CMS is definitely showing it's age nowadays with the lack of features and usability. The main thing is that it connects to our forum database for users and uses the forum for article comments.

The part that may make it very tricky is that both PCApex.com and GameApex.com now use the same forum for their communities which is located at ForumApex.com. Each of the main content sites have their own sections on the forum for discussions and there are general forums for either site as well. It is basically just one big community that has it's articles sorted between two different domains based on their content (one is PC hardwre and modding articles and the other is game reviews).

So, what do you all think? Can I make it work through some cookie tweaking? Any suggestions for me to try?

After a serious amount of hacking to this code, I can finally say that I have it running on wordprss mu perfectly.

There is one thing that I would like to change though, and maybe someone here has an idea of the direction that I should attack this problem.

I have mu setup so that when a person signs up and add's a blog to their account that they have to select a category for their blog, sports, weather, news, etc....

I have created corresponding article categories in mu for articles.

Here's what I want to happen:
When a person adds an article to mu, currently they can choose a forum to post their article to as well. (this is normal operation for the bridge). Problem is they have access to post their article to any forum that exists, I have no control over where they choose to put it.

what I want is to force them to have all 'weather' posts go into their designated blog category in the forums.

This will make is so that everything 'weather' related from all 'weather' category blogs will automatically be forced to have their wpmu posts put into the proper vb category.

And if they are going to write an article on their blog that doesn't belong in 'weather' they can put it into a personal category, which does not get put into vb.

make sense?

--theory being that I can use the forums to aggrigate all the wpmu articles into specific vb forums, on a per blog type basis. Gives me a vb 'central repository' of related articles to draw from.

ideas?

Hello,

I did exactly as asked in the file.

My blog is in:

/blog

and my forum is in

/forum

I set up the path correctly, however when I go to wordress to post something, I press publish and the script goes directly to a HTTP 500 error. The script stops at post.php

I noticed the message is saved but only as DRAFT. If I want to edit and publis it again, I get that 500 error.

Any sugestions please?

Thanks

Hi, I have been trying to get this plugin to work. My problem is that I am using Wordpress CMS upfront and vbulletin as my forums. I want the website visitor to login via Wordpress first and then be automatically logged into vbulletin when they click on the forum link.

From what I understand, this plugin here only works by importing vbulleting users INTO wordpress. How do I get it to work the other way around? Wordpress into vbulletin?

Please help anyone?!

So any suggestions to my problem? What's causing the HTTP 500 error when I want to make a new post in wordpress?

It has to be a path issue - checking your error logs may help targeting the problem.

How would I get this to work along side vBadvanced? I mean I know this plugin has the purpose to make WordPress the CMS, but I love the features of vBa, like the recent posts box and stuff... but when I have vBa activated along with the WP integration I get these errors.

Any Help?

Okay people! I'm using Wordpress v2.7 and vBulletin v3.8.1. I will post my progress here as I'm doing it.

UPDATE 1: Installing the plugin
So far so good. everything went smooth. The installation instructions were straight forward. done with no problems. users mapped correctly....blog post posted to forum.
# Having login problems. Going to dashboard directly [not logged in on vB] redirects to forums.
Solved - First login to vB, then go to dashboard and you will be logged in automatically. If not first time, then open the wp-admin/ page again and you are in.

UPDATE 2: Applying VB Comments...
All instructions applied carefully. Comments posted in WP are not posted as posts in vB. Its a template issue and I am trying to fix it. will update here.

So here is the good news: The plugin works with the latest versions of both WP 2.7 and vB 3.8.1 :)

I have this bridge installed and working about 95% up to what I need. The last 5% appears to be an issue I have discovered causing the user bridge to not work for many of my users, including an Administrator and an Author/Moderator.

Usernames do not bridge at all, nor is there an error of any kind if the user has an apostrophe in their registered vBulletin name.

Example: One of my admins registered name is Lilaena De'Ville. I have tested this with other names with apostrophes and had the same problem. It refused to log them in or bridge them at all while names without apostrophes work perfectly.

Changing vb to use the UTF8 character set should fix that issue.

Already tried that one as well as the other way around (changing WP to ISO-8859-1), no joy.

Hi,
thanks for this fantastic plugin.

There is a solution for scheduled post ?
There is a new hook in wordpress for future post.
There is future_to_publish...

Check this link

Thanks!

I've had this bridge running for quite awhile and now Wordpress 2.7 and vB 3.8.1 with a custom homepage - it still works just fine :)

kudos to jafo

Hi moethelawn,

work fine with future scheduled post ?

Thank you!

I installed this bridge the other day on 3.8 and everything (including vB posting) worked just fine. Then, for some reason, it stopped posting new comments into the forum (although new entries/threads worked just fine). The setting is still activated in the WP settings. What did I mess up?

[Separately, as I understand it a reply in vB should NOT post a comment under WP, is that correct?]

Thanks.

Has anyone figured out a way to get media files such as, images or youtube videos, that one posts in the wordpress blog to then appear in media format within the target vbull forum?

I have tried several wp plugins and so far, no luck.

thanks in advance
eric

I seem to be a little confused about the abilities of the bridge. With everything enabled, this is how I understand it:

(1) Comments may only be posted using the vBulletin Reply to Thread page.
(2) Comments may NOT be posted using WordPress.
(3) Comments may NOT be posted using vBulletin Quick Reply.

Is this all correct? So, I have to disable both Quick Reply and WordPress commenting, neither of which are bridging?

The alternative option, if I understand it, is to allow WordPress to handle all commenting. If I do things this way, WordPress comments will not count towards a user's forum post count, and the comments can only be managed in WordPress Admin. Again, is this correct?

Thanks.

1 and 2 are correct, though 3 is not - I have Quick Reply active and use it quite often on my site with no issues.

As mine is right now, when a post is published on wordpress, the corresponding forum thread is created, and comments on wordpress are pulled from the forum thread and displayed. the wordpress comments system is completely disabled/gone (at least on my site, obviously it's still 'there' in the backend).

You can safely *not* use the feature that maps vbulletin users with wordpress users - I'm not sure what the point of that is, but I turned it off with no ill effects.

Unfortunately, scheduled posting is still not working. The wordpress post goes up just fine, but the forum thread never gets posted, which means there's no way for readers to comment. I have to manually open the post and click publish, which is a huge pain.

How did you achieve this? I have been trying to decide whether to keep the wordpress comment system intact as an alternative or to do it as you have done.

Cheers.

I had this professionally installed with no issues. I am experiencing a few minor issues such as the login and being redirected to the forums. When I try to edit a post I am redirected to the forum although the post is not on the forum. This hack is nice, but it doesn't work perfectly.

I am VERY concerned about having duplicate content on my site. It seems like everyone is overlooking this as a possibility to be bad foe SEO. That alone would kill this whole hack. At first I thought this was cool. But with the lack of support in this thread and the many bugs, and the SEO aspect, I'm seriously reconsidering this.

I'm running VB 3.8.1 and WP 2.7.

Uninstalled. Too much hassle.

Were you just trying to edit in wp-admin?

I installed this, everything appeared to work but when I created an account on vb it didn't create the user on wp..

Really wished a more feature rich version would be updated.

I keep getting this database error since i installed this bridge. I get it toally randomly, usually once a day (But i have very few users right now, so I expect to get more of these errors later on). How do I fix this..?

The login page on the error areas are WORD PRESS logins, not vbulletin logins, so the login area on the top left IS indeed wordpress login, because I don't want the script to redirect to the forum right away when people login...

Hi,

I just installed the mod and am having some issues. First of all, when I change any settings I get this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php:132) in /home/site/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 698

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php:132) in /home/site/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 699

The second issue is that when I make a post, it normally chops off a line when posting. For instance, if I post:

"Test line one

Test line two

Test line three"

The actual post will show as:

"Test line one
Test line two"

Any help would be appreciated.:)

I'm getting at least 5-10 of these emails a day now, What's going on? If anyone can help me with this it'll be vastly appreciated. I can even pay for their time!

Just a quick note to everyone, I am rewriting this plugin and will hopefully finish testing this weekend.

The new version (IV) will include the following changes so far:

Integration is complete. Once you turn integration on, usernames and passwords from the forum can be used.

Users and admins can login from the WP login area.

If you log into VB or WP, then you remain logged in, until you log out (from either).

I hope to have time to rewrite the comment code instructions (for the default WP template).

I will be posting it in the 3.8 forum, but will also post a link here.

My $vbuser variables will not display, despite the note in the readme. Any idea why? Thanks.

Thanks Jafo, This is the best mod on vborg by far :)

Ok, I have released the update:
