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

I must have made a mistake somewhere along the line...

Anyway, I couldn't log in to my wordpress anymore and tried to use the resetvbbridge.php file but it didn't work and it gave me an error. I opened up the file and saw the error, figured it might help a few people out...

Code:
<?php
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-load.php' );

	update_option('vbb_VBION, 0);

echo "Vbbridge integration disabled!";
should be

Code:
<?php
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-load.php' );

	update_option('vbb_VBION', 0);

echo "Vbbridge integration disabled!";

Anyone found success in having scheduled wordpress posts hit the forum with the correct (and not random) userID?

I've been using this for about a week now.
Keep in mind: we are NOT using auto-integrate. We have no interest in sharing users ... only in crossposting our articles (WordPress) to our forums, and using the forums for the comment engine.

Earlier, I posted about how regardless of what UserID I have in the vbridge settings, it always posts to the forum as UserID #1. This somehow magically started working correctly all of a sudden - I never did go into phpmyadmin and change userID's around - it just started working.

HOWEVER - now that multiple articles have been published, the actual articles are now hitting the forum with RANDOM userID's ...

I think it has to be a conflict with the Users/Role Manager plugin we're using in WordPress - we have many contributors ... and when they publish their articles, they appear in the forums with random userID's ....

Example: user "SaintLewis" in wordpress adds an article and submits it to the editor. Editor approves and publishes. The article hits the forums in userid: 27? (which is someone else's userID, of course!).

Another user in wordpress publishes an article - and it gets published on the forums as another random ID.

Then, another one publishes, and it goes to the forum with the correct userID as defined in the vbridge settings.

I'd really love for this to work, but I'm on the brink of giving up unless someone has a clue what keeps causing this.
You and I are trying to use this the same way, I believe. I'll bet that, if you look into it, you'll notice they aren't random IDs, but rather that they have matching ID #s. I.e. SaintLewis is #24 in wordpress and 27? is #24 in vbulletin - that's what was happening to me, at times.

I've used both integrated and non-integrated, and scheduled posts don't work 100% either way, annoyingly. At this point, honestly, I'm seriously considering just disconnecting the forum from my site and using it as just that - a discussion forum, rather than a commenting engine. Especially with the loss of XMLRPC and the gallery features, it's becoming much more trouble than its worth, and the original dev isn't doing anything on this, either. I realize he's only volunteering, but when I offered $50 to whoever would help me, it was another member, rather than him, which kinda bothered me.

I have a little question..
I'm going for two weeks of vacations, so i decided to leave some assigned posts for some determined days but when it post on the forum, will it be on the default subforum/category? It's because I would like it to be post on the correct forum and I put it when I save the post, but I did a test and it showed on the default one..
How can I make it to post on the correct one? plz?

For me, while scheduled posts authors don't always come across correctly, if you choose the desired subcategory before you choose publish/schedule, it has always worked properly. I don't know what happens if you use the quick edit option, though.

I'd like to know this as well.
