The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

Need your input, please check our site for flaws.

Ok after about a solid month, I believe our "bridge" for postnuke and vbulletin is finally stable. Our concept was to create a bridge that shares all user data between both programs, thus when you register through postnuke you are actually using vbulletin registration system. From then on everything is handled by postnuke. You login from there and logout from there. All cookies are shared.

We are not using any type of cron jobs, as our user base will skyrocket upon re-launch.

Some neat features are that when you change info in either user cp, it reflects in both. Either program can be hacked, adding db fields etc without effecting the bridge.

We used a majorly hacked vs of encarta to allow the multiple "index" pages with blocks on left and right in some pages and none on right on others, actually using 7 different "index" pages. Which if you use postnuke, is amazing in and of itself.

Projects:
trying to layout better than using the < i frame> to display the forums and maintaining the menu system for postnuke.

merging the buddy sytem and private message systems together.

Please if anyone knows both programs, or is interested, please stop by and test our site. We are critically looking for errors before launching this new site.

thanks in advance.

Hmm...Your avatar looks awfully familiar. I wonder where I've seen it before? :ermm:

Dreamhost, any chance of releasing the integration details on vb.org?

TECK · #4 09-23-2002, 07:33 PM

imo phpnuke is terrible. why do you need it when you can do the same only with vb?

I plan to use postnuke, not phpnuke. vB offers superior forum functionality but lacks the portal features. Combining postnuke and vb would match up 2 great products. I know vbCMS is on the way but I don't want to wait another year.

same thing. postnuke, phpnuke, they are both crap. they add a ton of features for over 1mb of code...
i use only VB to achieve the same look like nuke.

To which degree do you have hack and/or code around vB to get the same functionality?

what do you mean degree??? you simply hack. is not hard.

take a look what you can do with a little editing:

My point is: how much of your hacked vb is still vb? My board has hacks too but I will only add stuff that can be easily carried along upgrades etc. If you hack your board to such an extent that is not really vb anymore but rather vb+ or something, how do you guarantee consistency when upgrading. In that respect, a standalone portal with integration provides more flexbilibity. Then you only have to worry about the integration.

to make it a news looking page instead of a forums one you add 3 lines of code.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
