I use a component called BBpixel, however it modifies core VB files. So far, it does what it was designed to do. See the integration here.

I looked at a new plugin which claims not to modify VB, but they don't have any demos or links to sites that have used their product.

*Sigh* I can see in my dreams that it might be possible to do something to make both parties use the same table .. i just lack the programming skills.

Hi All,

Can we have the name of what people are using for the integratrion / bridge?

It would also be nice to have the pros and cons of each integration / bridge

Thanx,
Dave

I use bbpixel here

It seems BBPixel is more popular than the alternative elearningforce integration.
This is confusing to me as BBPixel requires file edits and the elearningforce does not.

i do not use either as of yet -- still trying to figure out what to do . but there are some limitations with the elearningforce's duo-sync bridge, which may cause people not to choose it. it maintains both username tables, which is okay, however:

-when you change your joomla password, your vb password is updated, BUT when you change your vb password, your joomla password is not updated. (same goes for your user profile email addresses -- it only "syncs" if you change it from the joomla side.)

-when you login and logout of joomla, you are logged in and out of vb, BUT when you login and logout of vb, it does not effect your joomla login. which means in some instances, logging in twice will be necessary.

Yup, joomla and vbulletin user here, on my site over at www.girlgamers.co.uk

Although, i'm sure none of my users actually look at the main page, and just all go to the forums instead.

I'm using bbpixel for intergration. The instructions for installation, were a little sketchy, and could be more newbie friendly, as I initially installed it wrong, causing everything to crash.
But I then figured out what it was I'd done wrong, and tried again, and yup, everything works fine and dandy

Just wish I could get news from joomla onto the forums automatically, as I can only get posts from forums onto the news on joomla at the moment. So will have to look a bit harder me thinks
