The security flaw was found in the plugin, not joomla or vbulletin itself. They way they wrote the bridge opened up some nasty little holes that could potentially corrupt the site if exploited. I too am currently looking at a way to "bridge" my vbulletin and joomla. What I am trying to accomplish is a matching theme and also having user permissions across the site. So basically I either need joomla to pass the vb info over or have Joomla preload the vb session info. Matching up the theme will take some work in changing the navbar/header area to load the joomla header (trying to get away from the wrapper as it sometimes invokes scrollbars, bleh). That will be the trick. Once things are loaded up from vbulletin, I could potentially load up content based on eser/usergroup permissions.
My goal is to have a fluid site navigation much like this one
Xbox Live Nation. Some of you may recognize who runs that site.
Anyone got any tips.? Currently running vbulletin 3.6.8PL2 and Joomla! 1.0.13 (considering leaping to the 1.5RC3 of Joomla!)
P.S. My site (which is a mess at the moment) is
HERE.
