vbDrupal NG

vbDrupal is a fork from the Drupal CMS which integrates Drupal with the vBulletin forum software.
This is the stable release of the next generation of the vbDrupal project. This generation is much more compatible with the stock Drupal releases than the previous generation. It has been rebuild from the ground up taking into account everything that we learned from the previous generation.
All third party modules and themes for Drupal should also work with this version of vbDrupal.

This version of vbDrupal is based on Drupal version 4.7.8.
It has been designed to work with vBulletin versions 3.5 and 3.6.

More information and install and update instructions can be found in the README.html file included with this package.

For support, tips and trick, etc. please go to our forums.

does anyone know if this works with the latest drupal 5 beta 2?

[Gregman]

No, it doesn't. Not yet at least. See this thread about the port to 5.0. We will get it done, but we were waiting for the release candidate (which came Friday) so we will start working on it. -G

Just found the thread to point out that we at alleria have it installed!

Utterly fantastic, I'm using the views and actions module to build our content navigation and so on.

For those using this for blogging, i recommend a free tagging vocabulary for blog entries, and using the blogger and tagcloud modules from drupal.org!

How do I change my theme? The option is no longer there, the only templates in the vBulletin admin panel are vb drupal legacy templates.

[RDX1]

Any ideas?

[Caerydd]

You can change theme by going to themes in the admin panel of vbdrupal(http://yoururl.com/?q=admin/themes or http://yoururl.com/admin/themes , depending on whether you have clean urls installed). vbDrupal comes with defaultangy, which pulls your default vbulletin style, but the developers have also bundled phptemplate themes. These are themes developed for normal drupal sites, but which also work pretty seamlessly with drupal.

They are somewhat easier to customise, if you want a different look.

Does this work for sites where the forum is located on a sub-domain, like http://forum.mysite.com and the main site is at www.mysite.com?

Thanks in advance. I look forward to give this a try.

I switched to that, and it displays a blank page now. I like the old system better.

That's uh, odd. Never done that for me. Try posting over at the support site. http://www.vbdrupal.org

Elmuerte is kinda busy, but the quality of the support and released bug fixes are good.

You can get it to change to another one by deleteing the phptemplate theme folder of the theme you switched to. Tweaks to defaultangy can be done through adding css to a style.css file in the defaultangy folder.


HappyPike - I believe it does, you just have to make sure the correct paths are set. For example I have vbdrupal at alleria.com and the forums in a subdir.

I managed to install this last night and am very impressed.

This is really awesome combination! The integration is seamless. I only wish I try it earlier.

Seriously, I think this could be why Jelsoft may not be working on its own CMS.

Many thanks! :up:
