Warning!!! An potential exploit has been found in this modification. The server that hosts vjoomla.com has been attacked several times. It is known to already be severely comprimised so at this time it is unclear whether the vulnerability lies in vJoomla, Joomla itself or the server. Until this is resolved to my satisfaction I am removing this modification. My apologies.
The modification WILL be re-released once this issue is resolved!
vJoomla is an offshoot of Joomla 1.0 that is designed to run in tandem with vbulletin. Unlike the main release it will not run without vbulletin - if you desire a CMS without a forum then use Joomla! instead. vJoomla is identical in most all regards to Joomla!
What vJoomla Does
Provide a single session, single login interface to Joomla and vbulletin.
Allows Joomla pages to be skinned by vbulletin's template engine.
Maps Joomla usergroups to vbulletin usergroups.
What vJoomla Does Not Do
It does not rewrite your templates for you - so you will need to go in currently and change relative links to images and pages to absolute links. This is most important in the style sheets and in the navbar template. This is something you need to do yourself rather than programmatically since no two sites are likely to be using the same style sheet and the same setup for these links.
Install Instructions
Log into your admincp
Close your forum
If your forums are at the root of your site move them elsewhere - the best location is probably /forum
Upload the files from the zip packages to their respective locations. There should be no overwrites.
Navigate to the root of your site and run the Joomla installer.
Go back to the admincp and install the Joomla product file
Now either copy the ./cpstyles, ./clientscript and ./images directory of the forum into the Joomla directory OR create symbolic links to those directories. The contents of the ./images directory of Joomla and vbulletin will need to be merged.
Hmm, strange, just installed the newest version of vBAdvanced, and if i enable the hack now, some modules work (at the vBAdvanced homepage), not all, but most of them. My news module isn't working though. I wonder what the problem could be... It might be the PHP-files?
EDIT: @Micheal: You might want to try installing vBAdvanced CMPS (at www.vbadvanced.com), it's free and alot of people are using this. Maybe you can see what's wrong.
I wouldn't know. I'm familiar with vbAdvanced, this is the system the sites I admin currently run. I haven't investigated any of the problems between them - the two products aren't really meant to go together at all.

Yeah, that's the strange part. Only the News and Who's Online modules aren't working... Hope i can figure it out, since i could really use this.
Well, my next tool I'm working on will move news posts out of the forum you designated for them in vbAdvanced and put them in the Joomla content table where they really belong, and also allow for commenting. Once vJoomla is ready to go there shouldn't be a NEED to run vbAdvanced alongside it.
noo what my question was and you pretty much cleared it up already, would the use the same user database and would the admins and mods get special privileges on the joomla end
