VBulletin-Wordpress Bridge for 3.64 · **Released**: 12-02-2006

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.

Umm, ok, I think I am reading the directions properly...

Anyway, created a forum, put its id in the vb3-settings.php file.

Enabled RSS syndication as directed. Uploaded the files to their proper places...

Post a new entry in wp, get a blank page and no post to the forum..

Whats up?

Forget it, I created my own hack that is a WordPress plugin (No VB mods). You can find it here:

I though t I was going crazy.

I'm glad other people are having the same "no thread" problem that I have.

My comments always appear "off" when viewing the blog. However, the admin page shows them as on. This was a brand new install so there's nothing that could be getting in the way.

If anyone has a fix lemme know, otherwise I'm going to give the wp plugin a try

imranbaig · #47 12-21-2006, 08:55 PM

I have got some time, for this to work on it now.
I will be going through it, and post back the results.

I'm using vBadvanced can I still install this. I understand this is a noob Question so you should be able to answer.

New to word press but I understand a lot of peaple use it. is there a site I can see that vb and vbad is on that uses this

What issues are you facing with Jafo232's hack ?
I have seen the same working fine on one of my site.

Hi SaN-DeeP. We can't seem to get rid of this error message:

Quote:

WordPress database error: [Duplicate column name 'vb_threadid']
ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD vb_threadid INT(10)

And yes we already deleted the vb_threadid column from the wp_posts table, BUT and we STILL get the same error everytime we try to install a plugin (any plugin). We have to deactivate Jafo232's hack before we can install any plugins. This gets old fast

The error only appears when Jafo232's hack is activated. The part that scares us the most is that there is no vb_threadid column anymore, and the error is still being reported by Jafo232's hack
