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.

However posts in WP have no avatars. So, when going to the WP profile section and trying to setup the profile info, it just redirects me to the VB board login screen.
How can I get avatars to show up, or allow users to set up their profiles on WP?
Ok almost a MONTH later. Can I get an answer. Support thus far is crap. Perhaps disable the support until you get caught up on things. I was lead to believe this was a supported item when I first downloaded.

Make your own program and provide support for it for free then. I appreciate what the guy does for his mod - he is not paid to do it.

This question has been asked numerous times, you need to edit the avatar wordpress code to reference the vb code as Wordpress users no longer exist "This mod bridges your Vbulletin users over to Wordpress."
Something like this? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...rs#post1663540

Those instructions can't be right. There is no query in vbbridge.php with this code:
Code:
$sql = "select postid, username, userid, pagetext, title FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post where threadid = '$results->vb_threadid' order by dateline";
There is however:
Code:
$sql = "select postid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE threadid= " . $ed_post->vb_threadid . " and parentid = 0";
Jafo - thanks again. It is pretty much working perfectly for me...
Here is a sample for anyone to check out. Our site launches to the public next week but if anyone wants to take a look. In my book it's an excellent sample of the integration:
This is the EXACT vision I had for my site when I decided to purchase this product. Is there any chance that you documented your procedures or references used to make this happen? I don't know what it is but I haven't been able to get a reply to my posts and I'm almost 7 weeks into this project. At this point I have to ask this question:
Who do I have to pay to? Contact me thru PM with your quotes.

Try installing on a webhost server .....there is a possibility of incorrect paths on a localhost xampp...
If I go to wp-admin/edit.php it shows a list of the posts / authors. All the authors are showing up as the wrong name, but if I click edit, it shows the correct user selected. Is there a fix for this?
Is there any possibility to use this plugin with two different domain in the same server??
This is my big problem, maybe with a code modification...
Please help me!
Thanx
