Pre Sales Query - Moodle Integration

[vocalist]

Hi
I'm considering purchasing vBulletin but have a couple of queries.

I will be using the following
http://www.moodle.org.uk
http://www.phpmydirectory.com

and would like users to be able to use one login via the forum which may have a portal front (coreforums or a nuke) is this possible in vb3? If so what system does it use?

If not... can vbulletin use an external registration/login like lamp? (not sure if thats the right name).

I also require the ability to include a special user named 'Teacher' whose full details would or could be fed into phpmydirectory on registration.
Thanks

THe moodle site is very slow

As long as whatever your wanting to intergrate uses php & mysql you can probaly do it, but it will take some work

There are at least 2 portals vBadvanced and vBindex.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly Zachery,
I'm located in the UK & this board is actually slower to load 4 me whereas moodle loads quite quickly here.... it also has a lot of features I need for distance learning purposes ;-)

I like the integrated features of VB & am agonizing between this and phpbb which has an addon for moodle but needs extensive modding and may not be able to handle the expected board usage. I've had a quick look at vBindex, could you post the link to vBadvanced site please?

Ignore that - I've found the link - thanks again ;-)

www.vbadvanced.com

I use it on most of my sites

www.usshomestarrunner.com is a farily large change to the system. but its underlying is vBadvanced

Cheers, cool site! am leaning towards vBindex tho cos the winter skin is already similar to the rest of the site..... but still ploughing through all the vb forums for info .... got a week to decide !

Did you get anywhere with integrating VB and phpMyDirectory?

I'm looking to do the same thing . . .

I doubt you will receive an answer after more then 3 years.
