Identical to this Mod here, but now for the Vbulletin 3.8 line.
DOES NOT WORK FOR Vbulletin 4.x

This version probably no longer works for Wordpress 3.x. I have started developing this product over and have released the NEW version here:

http://www.lampwrights.com/showthread.php?t=41




This mod bridges your Vbulletin users over to Wordpress. You can also use Vbulletin as your comment engine instead of the spammy one built into Wordpress. You can display the comments inline in your post. You need not use the comment feature, if your only interested in sharing users.

You can map your Vbulletin Usergroups to Wordpress Usergroups and those users will then be recognized as registered Wordpress users.

For example, user "Joe" registers at your forum and logs in. Joe then clicks on your Wordpress page. Joe is instantly added to the Wordpress user base with the permissions you set for his usergroup. In otherwords, if a user comes over belonging to the "Registered User" group, you can select that he is placed in the Wordpress "Subscriber" usergroup.

If you change a users group from vbulletin, it will automatically change in Wordpress.

Requirements:
  • DOES NOT and WILL NEVER support Wordpress MU.
  • Wordpress and Vbulletin scripts must reside on the same physical server.
  • Wordpress and Vbulletin must use the same domain name.
  • Stable Wordpress Version greater than or equal to 2.7.
  • DOES work for Vbulletin 3.7.
  • Does work for vBulletin 3.8.
Limitations:
  • Does not work for 4.x. Why? Because VB 4.x does not work for me. If they ever make that product worth a shit, I might support it.
  • Please don't ask if it works for any BETA versions of Vbulletin. I do not know and will not convert this to the latest version of VB (whatever it is at the time you are reading this) until the version is released as non-beta.
  • Does not work with XMLRPC.
  • Chances are, this will not work when VB and Wordpress are located in different sub domains. I.E. forum.yoursite.com - blog.yoursite.com. Cookie issue.
  • I did the best I could in determining your forums file path with the script. There may be certain script setups that cannot find the file path properly, in which case you may get errors that the script cannot find or open /config.php. If this is the case, please HARDCODE your ABSOLUTE path to the forum in vbridge.php.

    To do this find:

    Code:
     ## If you are having path problems, uncomment this next variable and define the path
    ## NO TRAILING SLASH!
    # $vwd = '/some/path/to/your/forum';
    And uncomment the last line, and change the path to your forums path:

    Code:
     ## If you are having path problems, uncomment this next variable and define the path
    ## NO TRAILING SLASH!
    $vwd = '/some/path/to/your/forum';
Common Mistakes When Installing:
  • Using two different host names causes problems. If your forum URL contains www.yourdomain.com, then your wordpress blog URL MUST contain the www. part of www.yourdomain.com also. This goes for any other host name. Browsers are finnecky when it comes to cookies (as they should be).
  • Editors generally EDIT, not write. In Wordpress, editors don't show up in the post author drop down. This has nothing to do with this plugin, that is Wordpress code.
  • Make sure you DO NOT create a subdirectory for this plugin in the wp-content/plugins directory. Just upload it directly there..
  • If you do not map users before you turn auto-integrate on, the plugin has no idea whether your allowed into the dashboard.
  • If you all of a sudden can't login to the dashboard, see the above two common mistakes.
  • FOLLOW the directions and make a test post first. Being in a rush and not testing will most likely turn out bad for you.
UPDATES:

Changelog is included in download, here is the most recent changes:

3/09/2009
  • Added code to process scheduled posts
  • Addressed code where links and images would not show up properly in VB
  • Added new table called vb_forumid for scheduled posts
  • Reduced redundant calls when dealing with forum excerpts

Step 1: get a list of distinct userid's from the post table of your wordpress database.
Step 2: loop that list and use a vb function like "get_userinfo.." to fetch the userinfo. Or you could just run a new query fetching all the userinfo you need using the distinct list of userids.

I have another question though. I am using vb for my comments on wordpress and did everything correctly as stated in the readme file, but I was wondering if there was a way to limit the number of comments shown. I'm sure it's a simple fix, but I'm not brilliant at understanding the lines of code to fix it on my own. Can it be done to limit it to say, 10 posts before not showing any more?
You can use this plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/paged-comments/

However you have to modify its comments file (comments-paged.php) as per the instructions in the readme of the vbridge mod same way as the one which you already did.

I don't happen to be a coder (i can read and edit other's code, not write my own), can you describe the above steps to me in some code - that'd be very helpful. Thank you!

To amjadz4

"a simple alternative till a fix is posted would be using an external image host where you can upload multiple images. you can even get a free image upload script for your website or better still use picasa! (also saves you bandwidth)
"

I don't want to use outside party tools. The reason I love using wordpress is because everything I need is already there. Plus google images picks up on my seo/tagged images inside wordpress and sends traffic my way through that. If I switch to another source I would miss out on that.

I need a fix, not another tool online to waste more time using.

Basically WordPress is assigning a different userid to vbulletin, so when you make a post it is showing the wrong user as the author in WordPress.

Can this import posts that are already in one of the forums that I want to integrate to?

If I click in WP on nickname I receive an error 404. Whether It is possible to make so that there was a redirect on a profile in VB or articles written by the author in wordpress were shown.

When I activate this I get the following errors:

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/hali/public_html/wp-content/plugins/page-lists-plus/page-lists-plus.php on line 256

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/hali/public_html/wp-content/plugins/page-lists-plus/page-lists-plus.php on line 392

I am guessing it does like the wordpress plug in "Page Lists Plus." Any idea how to fix?
