Ok, it only took about 5 minutes to write the plugin to allow joomla modules to be called from vbulletin templates. I agree that this should be part of the final bridge but since it's something I just tossed in and haven't tested I'm keeping the xml plugin separate from the rest of the download for the moment.

To get a module to show up on a forum template with this plugin you'll need to place $module[position] at the spot the module contents should display. I did this to get my joomla main menu to show up on the forum pages.

It appears to work, but again I just tossed this in. I'm currently working on the templates and trying to find the source of the two bugs noted in the thread.

Completing this aspect of the bridge will need to be a little trickier. The approach I'm considering is this - the installer program will read over the list of forums vbulletin has and create a menu that holds all the vbulletin forums. These menu id's will be the keys off which the modules work. This particular menu will need to be updated via plugin any time vbulletin adds or subtracts a module. The advantage of this approach is it will incidentally create a forum menu that can be displayed on joomla pages with a minimum of fuss.
