vBulletin to TYPO3 integration
 

Hi
Now I am working on vBulletin integration to most powerfull open source CMS
TYPO3 (www.typo3.com)
On the 1st stage I will make TYPO3 auth service (with "authentication service" extension http://typo3.org/documentation/docum...ry/cc_sv_auth/ ) to authenticate vB-users as TYPO3 FrontEnd-users (with groups).
The goal - use vB-groups to restict access to TYPO3 pages.
Main problem - cookies and auto-login with cookies.

Thank you for any comments/ideas.

A very interesting project, I am very interested in a stable release .... maybe it's worth paying some money for a stable release ... !

Thanks.
I plan to have beta version to 15-12-2004.

Thanks, great job

Typo3 is brilliant and the only one what I still lacked, the integration of the vb3 was.
I hope soon a documentation is added.

vrom are you still working on this extension?

Hi!

My integration of VB3 into Typo3 is nearly complete.
I have a Typo3-Menu showing the complete forum-tree and using the vbulletin_auth-Extension makes it possible to log into typo3 using the VBulletin-Users !! Great!!!

The only Problem is the Single-Sign-On (take a look at http://www.single-signon.com). I just can't get it work.

Anyone out there who made it work? Would be really nice if someone could help me out...

Thx alot! And Bye

I tried both Typo and Mambo. The only one I have had any real progress with is Mambo. The userbase is completely dependant on Vbulletin, and content can be taken from the forums with no extra steps on the Mambo side.

And best of all, the cookies are written properly so that if a user is logged in via VB or Mambo, both sides are written at the same time.

For me. Typo was a nightmare getting the cookies to line up. :rolleyes:

This is old extension, not developed for a long time (I think it is for old versions of TYPO3).
Now I consider to use Single-Sign-On for Assist Network (16 sites) including
