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

Have you read the README file? I am sure it has all the instructions given in there....Is there anything you don't understand with which we can help...then please ask.

andyfielder · #**565** 06-17-2009, 02:37 PM

Hi,

Yeah i read the read me.

Some of the find and replaces wernt there, so i have done what i think it right. I think some of the functions have changed that WP uses.

PHP Code:


			
Find:



<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>



And replace with:



<?php if ( have_comments() and ($vbridge[id] == '')) : ?>

Doesnt exist. i have done this:

PHP Code:


			
<?php if ( ($comments) and ($vbridge[id] == '')) : ?>

Do i need to delete the WP comment form? Or have i missed a stage to use this to send comments to the forum.

Any help is much appreciated, i have done much reading through all the comments and of the readme etc.

amjadz4 · #**566** 06-17-2009, 02:46 PM

They wont necessarily will be there. You have to figure out where to insert it. If you can't simply paste your comments.php file here http://php.pastebin.com/ and post the link here.

I can't be sure of what you did cuz it depends theme to theme. And no you dont have to delete the comment form. This mod replaces it.

pablete · #**567** 06-17-2009, 04:00 PM

You're right. I apologize for the mistake. I followed all the instructions.
in the path of the user vbridge options worpress when I click on my page is blank, which can now be the problem?

Check your path which you set in settings. You must have entered it incorrectly. Please give all the information here if you require accurate help.

Thanks!

Quick question:

If you use this integration, when a member from VB submit/write an article in WP, you approve it to publish, will that article show the authors name (VB username) and a link back to his VB profile page?

Thanks!

Yes, provided he is mapped correctly.

pengrus · #**571** 06-17-2009, 07:04 PM

Really, I checked out more than ten sites using this integration, all of them just showed the vb member name with no link back.. Do you have an example on this? Good to read your signature.
