About Developer · **Released**: 02-13-2009

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:

I get this too. I tried the newest version and had to deactive. I went back to 4.01 and now it is broke too. Not sure what I did wrong to break the new and old version.

I keep getting this error or something similar:

Code:

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: Not a directory (errno 20) in [path]/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 108

Warning: require_once(./includes/class_dm.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 113

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/class_dm.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/supersma/public_html/wp-content/plugins/vbbridge.php on line 113

I changed the path to to my forums as you described in your initial post, as I was having errors before that, and thought it worked but then I got this when I tried to make a new post.

I tried the last release erly in the morning. The image problem seemed to be solved but the media manager is still not working.... Altough I want to use this plugin so badly, unfortunately only its functional for those who uses ISO-8859-1 encoding or utf-8. I wish there were any option possible for users who has to use other encodings because of their local necessarity. I'm personally forced to use ISO-8859-9 encoding for my forum any other option were not optional. I hope Jafo 232 would consider this for next releases....

Just wondering if VB admin users are listed in author drop down list if we map them as WP admin?

Only WP "admin" is listed as only one author on WP side when I try to change author.

Any advice?

Thanks

There's a major permissions error, here. Contributors should not be able to view all these features.

Is anyone else aware of this?
