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:

Id like to get this working with http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tdo-mini-forms/. Tried activating the plugin but get an error. Any help would be appreciated.

Shinichi_bien · #**423** 04-21-2009, 07:19 PM

@ Jafo232: Please add email and url to $user to get Gravatar support. Thanks

PHP Code:


			
    $user->user_email = $user->email;
    $user->user_url = $user->homepage;

Can you tell me where exactly you added this filter?

in vbbridge.php

just before

PHP Code:


			
add_action('publish_post', 'Vbridge_Post');

but you can add anywhere that you want, I put it there to keep it close to the add_action (easy to remember)

please change the posted code to the following, add this filter only in admin end

PHP Code:


			

if (is_admin()) {
add_filter('wp_dropdown_users', 'vb_post_author');
function vb_post_author($output) {
    global $post;

    $vb_post_author = get_userdata($post->post_author);
    $output = str_replace('</select>','<option value="'.$post->post_author.'" selected>'.$vb_post_author->username.'</option></select>',$output);
    echo $output;
}
}

I get this error when i activate there plugin:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_userdatabylogin() in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/functions_vbbridge.php on line 3

I need to disable the plugin via ftp to make my site work again.

XStealth6 · #**426** 04-22-2009, 01:06 PM

Code:

Warning: main(./includes/class_dm.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in E:\inetpub\vhosts\d3gaming.com\httpdocs\blog\wp-content\plugins\vbbridge.php on line 113

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/class_dm.php' (include_path='.;E:\Program Files\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\Php\pear;./includes;./pear') in E:\inetpub\vhosts\d3gaming.com\httpdocs\blog\wp-content\plugins\vbbridge.php on line 113

I get the following when trying to make a new post while the feature is turned on. i have my blog installed on a sub-folder. for example d3gaming.com/blog/ - clean install of wp , added plugin. i only really filled out 4 options. VB Name. ID, Forum ID ( i got off vbulletin panel) Forum URL obviously www.d3gaming.com or d3gaming.com , neither works, i get the above.

Any ideas?

I read about 10-14 pages from the get go but could not find a problem similar to mines..

Why is it looking for /d3gaming.com/ when i hardcoded /d3gaming/ ???????? My hardcoded url is: E:/inetpub/vhosts/d3gaming/httpdocs

BUG:

hello, when i add a tag its automatic a category! could you please tell me what to do to fix that bug?

wiizard · #**428** 04-23-2009, 01:33 AM

Okay, to everyone experiencing the "cannot_redeclare"-error:

In my case it was due to vbb_PLUGION being set to 0 instead of 1.

Check your wp_options table for this entry and just set it back to '1'.

Also I've searched for the function causing the value-change and only found the following one so far:

PHP Code:


			
    if (!file_exists($vwd . '/global.php'))  { 



        echo "cannot include $vwd/global.php.  You should check your path!  Turning Plugin Off"; 



        update_option('vbb_VBPLUGION', 0);



        exit; 

    }

I've changed it to

PHP Code:


			
update_option('vbb_VBPLUGION', 1);

Seems like sometimes the global.php file can't be accessed and therefore the script automatically sets vbb_VBPLUGION back to 0. Would be interesting though to get some more details about this problem.

Tried it, same problem for me. Same error as above.

Hey I want to applyt this great module.

Only I need a few informatie before I get start.

I have now a forum on the root folder version 3.8.2.. I want to install wordpress in blog.domain.com. This will be installed on the same domain but in a seperate database.

Could be working the plugin when I work this way?

reimic · #**431** 04-24-2009, 04:11 AM

ok listen. i can only give you the tipp to not install the plugin! the autor didn't answer my questions and i found many bugs. if you have a large forum its absolutly nothing for your site, because there are very heavy bugs!

maybe the autor sometimes could answer my questions because none of them are mentioned!
