Vbulletin Application Connector

Version 0.2
Bugfix: now it is posible to define active/inactive connectors
ADD: Changing userdata ( email and username )

Version 0.1
init Release

that this hack do?

with this hack you can connect other applications with vbulletin
this hack provide a simple api to create own module, to connect different application with vbulletin, and create common login with it

this addon is the same like com_connector for joomla

example:

you have an CMS or own created application and you want to have common login with vbulletin
so you must creat a class ( = module ) which knows some methods like login/logout
this methods will be called by the connector if the user login into VB
if you want the connector will try to add the user to your application or vbulletin, if the user dont exists
the connect to your application can be created by soap/xmlrpc calls, database connnects, ldap or something else, its your choose

for a little demo i have included a joomla module, which connects to joomla using SOAP calls to get common login with vbulletin ( needs JMSOAP addon for joomla )

demo is on my side: www.c4u.to

if you log in into joomla, you will be automaticaly logged in vbulletin, by com_connector hack for joomla ( which is using VB_SOAP on vbulletin side )
if you login into vbulletin, you will be automaticaly logged in into joomla, by this hack ( using JMSOAP addon on joomla side )

in the next version i will include functions to update/delete users


installation
1. unzip the package, move all files von vb_connector folder to your forumroot
2. install product xml file

the you have new menu in admincp to create connectors
it is posible to use one module more then once

howto create own modules: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/to...html#msg131894

you can use this tutorial for joomla, difference with joomla is, that you will get all parameters as array, not as object, look at the joomla.class.php file in the package

Hello Leonsio:

great work with these connectors!

is there a chance this will work with the wrapped mode of com_connector for joomla?

com_connector works great from joomla -> vbridge in wrapped and unwrapped mode. However Vbulletin Application Connector does not work in side on the joomla wrapped mode. Meaning that if I have set my com_connector to use the wrapped mode and click on my "forums" link in the main menu it will take me to the forums BUT if I try to log in through vbulletin it will log me into vbulletin but not to Joomla. Is there a way to make this work?

thanx!

The docs don't tell you how to setup the settings for each module...

the url in there is confusing as hell. But, I assume it needs to be the module inside your application. So, for Joomla it would be.

http://yoursite.com/components/com_c...etin.class.php

PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG HERE. I just changed this setting and I am now getting half of the login bit working.

[leonsio]

which module do you use?

this module is the same like com_connector for joomla

the url is the URL to joomla ( which you have added under lifeSite in the config)
i have allready answered this question some threads before
does you have tryed to use "SEARCH" ??

[oojacoboo]

leonsio, I have searched and searched until I am blue in the face man. I am trying to tell you, its hard to find this documentation.

I use the SOAP modules now.

I was actually talking about the server url, not the site url. I figured it was as such.

I really have tried to get all the info I can. You say search when you answer these questions, but its not easy to find these answers and you have to read through hundreds of posts to find out any details.

Thanks alot.

[leonsio]

server url is the url to joomla soap server, like server url by CC and vbulletin module

[oojacoboo]

Leonsio, that reply typifies your instructions. That means nothing to me. I am sure that makes total sense to you because you wrote the script. However, to someone who is installing this, and doesn't have a clue, that is basically useless.

Does that mean the URL should be to go to the JMSOAP server that is suppose to be placed in the Joomla root folder?

Still have the problem I had before: can I use an already-existing base of users NOT in vB?

[oojacoboo]

yes, if you can get the app_useradd function to work properly, which I can't at the moment.

Using Joomla 1.0.7
PHP4.x

com_connector: vbulletin_sql
application connector: joomla_sql

Is there anyone out there that is also using the com_connector for Joomla along with this hack? Is anyone using com_connector in "wrapped" mode.
have you noticed that everything works from joomla but the common loging does NOT work when doing it through vbulletin in wrapped mode?

I have installed com_connector in joomla and it works!
I have installed application connector in vbulletin and it works AS LONG AS I access vbulletin directly NOT through Joomla. When I access vbulletin through com_connector in wrapped mode and log into vbulletin it does NOT log me into joomla. is there a way to fix this?

thank-you!
