Identical to this Mod here, but now for the Vbulletin 3.8 line.
DOES NOT WORK FOR Vbulletin 4.x

This version probably no longer works for Wordpress 3.x. I have started developing this product over and have released the NEW version here:

http://www.lampwrights.com/showthread.php?t=41




This mod bridges your Vbulletin users over to Wordpress. You can also use Vbulletin as your comment engine instead of the spammy one built into Wordpress. You can display the comments inline in your post. You need not use the comment feature, if your only interested in sharing users.

You can map your Vbulletin Usergroups to Wordpress Usergroups and those users will then be recognized as registered Wordpress users.

For example, user "Joe" registers at your forum and logs in. Joe then clicks on your Wordpress page. Joe is instantly added to the Wordpress user base with the permissions you set for his usergroup. In otherwords, if a user comes over belonging to the "Registered User" group, you can select that he is placed in the Wordpress "Subscriber" usergroup.

If you change a users group from vbulletin, it will automatically change in Wordpress.

Requirements:
  • DOES NOT and WILL NEVER support Wordpress MU.
  • Wordpress and Vbulletin scripts must reside on the same physical server.
  • Wordpress and Vbulletin must use the same domain name.
  • Stable Wordpress Version greater than or equal to 2.7.
  • DOES work for Vbulletin 3.7.
  • Does work for vBulletin 3.8.
Limitations:
  • Does not work for 4.x. Why? Because VB 4.x does not work for me. If they ever make that product worth a shit, I might support it.
  • Please don't ask if it works for any BETA versions of Vbulletin. I do not know and will not convert this to the latest version of VB (whatever it is at the time you are reading this) until the version is released as non-beta.
  • Does not work with XMLRPC.
  • Chances are, this will not work when VB and Wordpress are located in different sub domains. I.E. forum.yoursite.com - blog.yoursite.com. Cookie issue.
  • I did the best I could in determining your forums file path with the script. There may be certain script setups that cannot find the file path properly, in which case you may get errors that the script cannot find or open /config.php. If this is the case, please HARDCODE your ABSOLUTE path to the forum in vbridge.php.

    To do this find:

    Code:
     ## If you are having path problems, uncomment this next variable and define the path
    ## NO TRAILING SLASH!
    # $vwd = '/some/path/to/your/forum';
    And uncomment the last line, and change the path to your forums path:

    Code:
     ## If you are having path problems, uncomment this next variable and define the path
    ## NO TRAILING SLASH!
    $vwd = '/some/path/to/your/forum';
Common Mistakes When Installing:
  • Using two different host names causes problems. If your forum URL contains www.yourdomain.com, then your wordpress blog URL MUST contain the www. part of www.yourdomain.com also. This goes for any other host name. Browsers are finnecky when it comes to cookies (as they should be).
  • Editors generally EDIT, not write. In Wordpress, editors don't show up in the post author drop down. This has nothing to do with this plugin, that is Wordpress code.
  • Make sure you DO NOT create a subdirectory for this plugin in the wp-content/plugins directory. Just upload it directly there..
  • If you do not map users before you turn auto-integrate on, the plugin has no idea whether your allowed into the dashboard.
  • If you all of a sudden can't login to the dashboard, see the above two common mistakes.
  • FOLLOW the directions and make a test post first. Being in a rush and not testing will most likely turn out bad for you.
UPDATES:

Changelog is included in download, here is the most recent changes:

3/09/2009
  • Added code to process scheduled posts
  • Addressed code where links and images would not show up properly in VB
  • Added new table called vb_forumid for scheduled posts
  • Reduced redundant calls when dealing with forum excerpts

If you care to look at it, please send me a comment with your thoughts.

PS: Didn't use vB for comments... just users and avatars customly and proportionally sized . Sorry it's in Spanish :P
Awesome Work! I really like the integration of the header and footer. How did you accomplish this?

So regarding the white pages being displayed, does everyone agree this is consistent with forums that are restricted from public view? Perhaps the problem lies therein.

Thanks. By hand. I created a new vB theme and begun modification. First, copied all the header and footer images to the new theme's folder in vB and then started playing with CSS.

Cheers,

Hi, thanks for the mod, it's been really useful. But why were the instructions for using VBulletin for comments removed?

i'm having a somewhat strange problem, on vbulletin 3.8.4 and latest wordpress, everything will work fine for days on end, then suddenly the whole site will go white, not just for me but for everyone, absolutely empty pages for wordpress, the only way i can fix this is to delete the plugins, run resetvbbridge.php, then install the plugins and activate them again, a quick check on the server error log shows nothing wrong.
Is the a particular reason why everything just dies, yet if i deactivate then reactivate the plugin it'll work fine for days again?
I've noticed the past three times it's done it, i've noticed because i opened the browser and went straight to domain.com/wp-admin/, though because theres no errors reported in the log, i can't tell if that's just coincidence or the cause of it messing up.

Any ideas?

^ am having the exact same issue. But a quick workaround is to restart apache. let me know if that fixes for you as well.

Also, has anyone come up with the author_link permalink solution? Right now, it results in a 404 as the author names are not in the WP database.

I can't currently do the workaround due tot he site in question being on a shared server (i dont want it to cause issues with other sites hosted), so my only way of fixing it is the above mentioned method

This plugin is exactly what I'm looking for but I'm not sure if it will work.

I'm currently developing a wordpress site that will be for the domain www.shuwarriors.net

The vB forum is on a subdomain at forum.shuwarriors.net

I'm not interested in comments showing up on the forum - all I want is for existing players registered on vB to be able to login with existing vB accounts when I deploy WP.

Does this plugin support a subdomain forum and a main domain type setup?

*edit*
I'm noticing a lot of errors and stuff like this plugin re-sending header data and after updating a post I just got this;
Warning: require_once(./includes/class_dm.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/marksweb/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 113
