VBulletin-Wordpress Bridge for 3.64

I wanted to start a site with WP the best blogging software and VB the Best forum software.
After searching at vb.org, I found a bridge which was for vb 3.0. and WP 2.0, I just edited carefully the newer version files, with permission from author Here, I'm releasing this bridge:

Note:

This hack will only work if your WordPress and vBulletin tables are in a single database.
This hack has only been tested on adding entries directly from the admin panel. It has not been tested on xmlrpc clients.
Use at your own risk. I will not be held liable for any loss of data nor problems that you might encounter on your site during the whole process of the mod.Backup your files and database(s) before proceeding.

WP Settings:
If you want to do file edits your self then go here

Download the attached files, and you need to edit only the following files, not all.
Edit:wp-rss2.php

PHP Code:


		
			
<wfw:commentRSS><?php echo comments_rss(); ?></wfw:commentRSS>

PHP Code:


		
			
<wfw:commentRSS>http://www.yoursite.com/forum/showthread.php?t=<?php echo $post->vb_threadid; ?></wfw:commentRSS>

Save file.

EDIT file:vb3-settings.php

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

// This just holds the vb variables

$vb_bridge = 1; // 1=on 0=off

$vb_forumid = '2'; // forum id to post copy of article

$vb_userid = '1'; // user id to use for posting the article

$vb_username = 'admin'; // name of the user id

$vb_path = 'http://www.yoursite.com/forum'; //complete url of forums

$vb_dbprefix = 'vb3_'; //vBulletin database prefix

$vb_readmessage = 'Read the full blog entry.'; //message to be used in the forum to link back to the blog entry

?>

Save file.
Now upload all files.
Note: I have edited, files for default wp-theme, if you want you can just upload comments.php to any other template it does not matter much if you are bridging it., but do the following changes to single.php only if you are using a different template then default one.

EDIT: file single.php:
Look for:

PHP Code:


		
			
       You can <a href="#respond">leave a response</a>, or <a href="<?php trackback_url(true); ?>" rel="trackback">trackback</a> from your own site.

Replace it with:

PHP Code:


		
			
You can <a href="/forum/showthread.php?t=<?php echo( $post->vb_threadid ); ?>&goto=newpost">leave a response</a>, or <a href="<?php trackback_url(true); ?>" rel="trackback">trackback</a> from your own site.

Make sure you have your forum path correct there.
Now Upload all files to your wp root

vBulletin Settings:

The RSS feed will not work if you haven't activated RSS External synidcation on your forum. To do this, on your forums admincp, go to vBulletin Options->External Data Provider and check 'Yes' on Enable RSS Syncidcation.

DB Settings:
Run this query:

PHP Code:


		
			
ALTER TABLE `wp_posts` ADD `vb_threadid` INT(10);

Upload postfeed.php to your forum root included in the attachment.
Demo here:
DEMO
Please forgive me if there are any errors or anything left out in package :)
I'll try and support as much as I can. But cannot guarantee it :)

EDIT: Upload the new Attached postfeed.php, this was the culprit which was giving errors. This should fix everything.

Sounds awesome! I'll definitely check this out. ;)

looks nice:) but

WP db can co-exists with vb db, without any problem.

does it mean that every new post that sends to forum , sends to WP too ?!

if i'm right i really need this . would u plz just explain a little bit more .

Thanks

What ever you post at WP (under ) goes to a specific forum id that you have to specify under vb3-settings.php. And for that particular forum/post comments are linked, and if any posts are done there, it will show as comments in wp. I hope that explains?

hey can you explain how to use it after you installed it i dont udnerstand becuase i have comments off now?

when i publish in wordpress it gives me a blank page

Did you upload all and read above instructions properly??
blank page does come yeh but it posts and publishes everything nicely.
I'm working on this fix, since it was way too much time taken for this I decided to release it, also I'm a professional designer and coder, work for other ppl hence very little time to spend but I'll find some time to fix that blank page error :)

yep here is my site
i get no comments i dont understand what am i doing wrong i post on forum than it publish on wordpress?

kinda confused

You have missed, some edits or just did not upload all files properly.
Looks like an error with file uploads pls upload them all properly. before you upload, just edit the files or pass me on ur ftp details i will be more than willing to check it out my self.

If you want not to dsiplay comments on front page or if your comments are off then. Do the following:
find this in ur feed_functions.php:

PHP Code:


		
			
function comments_rss_link($link_text = 'Comments RSS', $commentsrssfilename = '') {

    global $post;

    include_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/vb3-settings.php');



    if ($vb_bridge) {

        $url = $vb_path . '/postfeed.php?t=' . $post->vb_threadid . '&type=rss2';

    } else {

        $url = comments_rss($commentsrssfilename);

    }



    echo "<a href='$url'>$link_text</a>";

}

Replace it with:

PHP Code:


		
			
 function comments_rss_link($link_text = 'Comments RSS', $commentsrssfilename = '') {

    $url = comments_rss($commentsrssfilename);

    echo "<a href='$url'>$link_text</a>";

Or alternatively use this attached file and replace the existing one.
I think this should fix your problem, Also I have updated your files.
Let me know your result.

Please check the above post.

i updated it with your attachment still same problem comments are off

oh that one :P, I have fixed it check your site.
EDIT:Please Delete all your junk comments, test comments and start from beginning. since its getting late almost 4:30 in the morning I will hit bed soon :)

yeah you fix the no comments now but how does the link works to the forum?

Link works if your comments are on :).
Since you disabled comments, in your template comments.php, the link does not work.
If you can tweak this your self you might able to get this work.
Look in my site in demo comments are on and all comments are from forum. Effectively comments are posted in forum, just turn them on and revert the code.

awesome the comments are on now but how do i specify the tread becuase if you press comment now it goes to

also i used your comments template

It just too complicated, why dont you turn on ur comments from wp??

you need to go back to original code, to see the comments link.
If you don't want to display comments on WP. :Here
I'm going to hit bed now :)

did that the original still doesnt work :(

This is just awesome bro.. I 'm definitly lokking for this..

Please Check your vb2-settings.php, specify a valid forum id, user id, user name to post in the forum.

wow, you finally released the stuff, great work looking forward to test this now.

how would I do multiple authors, then?

No this does not do that try Zoints local.

EDIT:I found one small bug, in the last earlier package, hence re-attached a new one. Please download new attached files.

lol, what do you mean?? Look at the demo, and try to use your brain while installing.

i used my brain. vBulletin are in the same database

I changed all the instances of vb_threadid to vB3_threadid to match my forums prefix

Edited the SQL query to match my prefix

edited all paths that needed edited to point to my forums instead of the other one

Edited the settings file to desired settings

uploaded all files to desired locations.

and when Posting from Wordpress after hitting save, or save and continue editing it only goes to a blank page. The post is created for wordpress, but not for vBulletin and users can not leave comments.

Hopefully that constitutes as using my brain. But while we are talking about brain activity, maybe you can tell us what version of wordpress the included files are from

Please pm me your ftp, I'll have a check? If you can or what is the error and site url would really help.

You can easily combine, these two db's, right now I'm working on one huge SE marketing project plus 5 big templates, making me really short on time, I will try and help you all when I get some breather :)

How about telling the visitor for what this hack is...
