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:

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

I'm sorry to do all the complaining all the time but the fixes did not helped me out much!

What encoding have you set in your Wordpress setup? Something seems wrong on your end here, because there is no reason for this plugin to do what you show on the map users page. The UTF-8 option really only comes into play when it has to DECODE it.

I'm running a turkish translation of wordpress.

Without activating the plugin everything is working fine.

I even did try it by turning off the language option in config.php ( define ('WPLANG', 'tr_TR');

I does not make any sense, my config file is like this:

PHP Code:

Hi Jafo - thank you for all your hard work on this. I just donated you some $$ on this as well, really good work and great plugin...

FYI though I am still getting an error. When I save under Settings > vBridge settings it kicks out this error. Otherwise it seems to be working excellently...

Has anyone tried uploading an image or any file for that matter from wordpress? If I try clicking the upload image button from the post editor, I just get a 404 page from the popup.

Going to Upload from the top bar, after uploading it just takes me to the login page.

Thanks for the quick update, but the permalinks still look the same in my forum posts:

Did you edit the post since the upgrade? The update will not fix existing posts, unless of course you edit them and save it..

Wordpress CP -> Settings -> Reading -> "Encoding for pages and feeds".. What do you have there?

Reynaldovb · #**139** 02-21-2009, 11:05 PM

Jafo232:

Thanks for the last version update.
You forgot to answer my posts. Is there a way to be able to use the name of the author in the permalink?
Normally in WP you can use %author% to add the author's name to the permalink, any way to populate that variable?

without the number of the user. (it takes all the other variables like vbb_VBURL and other so i think that there's somthing wrong on user_id)

edit: i've solved it making this:

Code:

<img src="<?php echo get_option('vbb_VBURL') ?>image.php?u=<?php echo $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] ?>&amp;dateline=<?php echo TIMENOW ?>" alt="<?php echo $reply['username'] ?>'s Avatar" class="avatar avatar-32 photo avatar-default" width="32" height="32"

i don't know if it is right.. but it works to me :P

This returns the author of the post's avatar.

When I tried the previous method, it was not picking up my user's avatar, instead getting an image not found. When I looked at the image url, I saw that the user ID is not being generated. Any ideas? This would be extremely helpful.
