Wordpress vBulletin integration · **Released**: 04-02-2013

Integrate your vBulletin forum with Wordpress.

The lite version of this Wordpress vBulletin bridge allows your Wordpress posts to be posted to vBulletin.

This is a Wordpress plugin that facilitates this functionality. Just install it in your WP plugin folder and set up the path to your vBulletin installation. As long as the forum is on the same server, this works well.

No need to combine the databases. No need to modify core WP files.

It's that easy!

All of your Wordpress posts will be posted in your forum. You will designate a forum to take these posts. If you have sub forums that match the name of the category of the Wordpress post, this plugin will automatically put the post there.

The full version, available at wp-vb-bridge.obscurecloud.com// allows more functionality to fully integrate your Wordpress and vBulletin including:

Wordpress->vB features:

*Registration sync - new users created on WP are automatically created on vB
*New post sync - new WP posts are intelligently posted to the matching forum. There are some controls on which forum they are posted to.
Options:
- Posts can be attributed to the user posting or
- All posts can be attributed to a designated user
*Comment sync - new comments made on WP are posted to the synced forum
*Login sync - when you login or logout of WP, the vB session is created or destroyed at the same time
*Avatar sync - vBulletin avatars are used on WP comments (requires user-photo WP plugin)
*No modification of core WP files!
*No modification of WP config file!
*100% plugin setting based - install the plugin, set your forum path, activate the features you want, enjoy!

vBulletin ->Wordpress features *NEW*

This is still a work in progress so the code will be updated often.

Feel free to let me know how it works, additional features you'd like, and if you have any problems.

Here is a guide from a user:
Thanks a bunch for putting this together BAJR
Quick Guide.

First unpack the folder into plugins, where all the files and sub folders should reside in [wb-vb] folder.

now in Wordpress Plugins, activate the plugin and then go to Settings --> WP Vb integration

Essentials are as follows: (everything else you can play with!)

1) Path to vBulletin. / means the Vbulletin Forum is in your root folder. ie www.mysite.com/
/forum/ means the Vbulletin Forum is in a folder called forum. ie www.mysite.com/forum/
ALWAYS add the trailing /

2) Activate login sync feature [check box]

3) Activate post sync feature [check box]

4) Forum ID - this is the NUMBER of your desired linked forum ( sub forums are added from this) so look at your vbulletin URL

http://mysite.com/forumdisplay.php?6-The-Forum the ID would be 6

5) vBulletin user id to assign posts to - this is numerical as well. so ID number of who you want to add these too.

6) vBulletin -> Wordpress Settings

Add vBulletin plugins ... click add

7) go back up and click [TEST] - if all is well you should see... vB loaded Plugins - 1|1|1|1|1|1|1

8) SAVE CHANGES...
