Integration with vBulletin - VBulletin-Wordpress Bridge for 3.64

I wanted to start a site with WP the best blogging software and VB the Best forum software.
After searching at vb.org, I found a bridge which was for vb 3.0. and WP 2.0, I just edited carefully the newer version files, with permission from author Here, I'm releasing this bridge:

Note:

• This hack will only work if your WordPress and vBulletin tables are in a single database.
• This hack has only been tested on adding entries directly from the admin panel. It has not been tested on xmlrpc clients.
• Use at your own risk. I will not be held liable for any loss of data nor problems that you might encounter on your site during the whole process of the mod.Backup your files and database(s) before proceeding.

WP Settings:
If you want to do file edits your self then go here

Download the attached files, and you need to edit only the following files, not all.
Edit:wp-rss2.php

PHP Code:

<wfw:commentRSS><?php echo comments_rss(); ?></wfw:commentRSS>

PHP Code:

<wfw:commentRSS>http://www.yoursite.com/forum/showthread.php?t=<?php echo $post->vb_threadid; ?></wfw:commentRSS>

Save file.

EDIT file:vb3-settings.php

PHP Code:

<?php
// This just holds the vb variables
$vb_bridge = 1; // 1=on 0=off
$vb_forumid = '2'; // forum id to post copy of article
$vb_userid = '1'; // user id to use for posting the article
$vb_username = 'admin'; // name of the user id
$vb_path = 'http://www.yoursite.com/forum'; //complete url of forums
$vb_dbprefix = 'vb3_'; //vBulletin database prefix
$vb_readmessage = 'Read the full blog entry.'; //message to be used in the forum to link back to the blog entry
?>

Save file.
Now upload all files.
Note: I have edited, files for default wp-theme, if you want you can just upload comments.php to any other template it does not matter much if you are bridging it., but do the following changes to single.php only if you are using a different template then default one.

EDIT: file single.php:
Look for:

PHP Code:

       You can <a href="#respond">leave a response</a>, or <a href="<?php trackback_url(true); ?>" rel="trackback">trackback</a> from your own site.

Replace it with:

PHP Code:

You can <a href="/forum/showthread.php?t=<?php echo( $post->vb_threadid ); ?>&goto=newpost">leave a response</a>, or <a href="<?php trackback_url(true); ?>" rel="trackback">trackback</a> from your own site.

Make sure you have your forum path correct there.
Now Upload all files to your wp root

vBulletin Settings:

The RSS feed will not work if you haven't activated RSS External synidcation on your forum. To do this, on your forums admincp, go to vBulletin Options->External Data Provider and check 'Yes' on Enable RSS Syncidcation.

DB Settings:
Run this query:

PHP Code:

ALTER TABLE `wp_posts` ADD `vb_threadid` INT(10); 


Upload postfeed.php to your forum root included in the attachment.
Demo here:
DEMO
Please forgive me if there are any errors or anything left out in package
I'll try and support as much as I can. But cannot guarantee it

EDIT: Upload the new Attached postfeed.php, this was the culprit which was giving errors. This should fix everything.

kinda confused

If you want not to dsiplay comments on front page or if your comments are off then. Do the following:
find this in ur feed_functions.php:

PHP Code:

function comments_rss_link($link_text = 'Comments RSS', $commentsrssfilename = '') {
    global $post;
    include_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/vb3-settings.php');

    if ($vb_bridge) {
        $url = $vb_path . '/postfeed.php?t=' . $post->vb_threadid . '&type=rss2';
    } else {
        $url = comments_rss($commentsrssfilename);
    }

    echo "<a href='$url'>$link_text</a>";
} 


Replace it with:

PHP Code:

 function comments_rss_link($link_text = 'Comments RSS', $commentsrssfilename = '') {
    $url = comments_rss($commentsrssfilename);
    echo "<a href='$url'>$link_text</a>"; 


Or alternatively use this attached file and replace the existing one.
I think this should fix your problem, Also I have updated your files.
Let me know your result.

yeah you fix the no comments now but how does the link works to the forum?

[imranbaig]

Link works if your comments are on .
Since you disabled comments, in your template comments.php, the link does not work.
If you can tweak this your self you might able to get this work.
Look in my site in demo comments are on and all comments are from forum. Effectively comments are posted in forum, just turn them on and revert the code.

awesome the comments are on now but how do i specify the tread becuase if you press comment now it goes to

also i used your comments template

[imranbaig]

It just too complicated, why dont you turn on ur comments from wp??
