Vbulletin Application Connector

Version 0.2
Bugfix: now it is posible to define active/inactive connectors
ADD: Changing userdata ( email and username )

Version 0.1
init Release

that this hack do?

with this hack you can connect other applications with vbulletin
this hack provide a simple api to create own module, to connect different application with vbulletin, and create common login with it

this addon is the same like com_connector for joomla

example:

you have an CMS or own created application and you want to have common login with vbulletin
so you must creat a class ( = module ) which knows some methods like login/logout
this methods will be called by the connector if the user login into VB
if you want the connector will try to add the user to your application or vbulletin, if the user dont exists
the connect to your application can be created by soap/xmlrpc calls, database connnects, ldap or something else, its your choose

for a little demo i have included a joomla module, which connects to joomla using SOAP calls to get common login with vbulletin ( needs JMSOAP addon for joomla )

demo is on my side: www.c4u.to

if you log in into joomla, you will be automaticaly logged in vbulletin, by com_connector hack for joomla ( which is using VB_SOAP on vbulletin side )
if you login into vbulletin, you will be automaticaly logged in into joomla, by this hack ( using JMSOAP addon on joomla side )

in the next version i will include functions to update/delete users


installation
1. unzip the package, move all files von vb_connector folder to your forumroot
2. install product xml file

the you have new menu in admincp to create connectors
it is posible to use one module more then once

howto create own modules: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/to...html#msg131894

you can use this tutorial for joomla, difference with joomla is, that you will get all parameters as array, not as object, look at the joomla.class.php file in the package

Anyway quite weird.. when I add the module to see whos online in vbulletin its just blank...

and when I add the module for latest threads I get this error:

main(./components/com_connector/connector.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/fabianv/public_html/portal/modules/mod_vbulletin_recent_posts.php on line 32

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './components/com_connector/connector.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/fabianv/public_html/portal/modules/mod_vbulletin_recent_posts.php on line 32

Any idea why this is happening?

I don't know what the install link at the top of the thread does, clueless!
I did everything Langly said above.
I tried to install the product in my vB install and I get the following SQL error...



Do I need to run this query in phpmyadmin? When I reattempt I get a column for connectors already present in the user table. So, I removed that field and then I attempt again, and I get this error. Please advise.

What can I replace that with? I am using the following...

Web Server Apache v1.3.34
PHP 4.4.1
MySQL Version 4.0.26-standard

any soloution for this? i have an exact same problem i have the exact same server setting,
any help is appreciated.
thank you

Hey Leonsio, great extension first of all, integrating it on my live site shortly, and I'm loving it personally.

I've found one minor bug with the joomla_sql class (or possibly the vbulletin_sql), not sure which is acting up. I can login/out through Joomla and it logs me in or out of vBulletin, no problems. However, when I do the same through vBulletin, it doesn't log me in or out of Joomla. I've triple checked my settings on both sides, and it doesn't appear to be a glitch there. Any idea what I could do to fix this?

Thanks man,
-RD

[leonsio]

the connector (sql version ) does not support joomla 1.0.8 at the moment

[RaidenDAWG2]

That explains it...any ETA on that supporting, or any idea what it would take for me to manually update it to support it?

[Lea Verou]

Will it be useful for phpprobid integration?

[daklay]

Question

Can this be used for Oekaki Poeteo BBS?

[3z3k3l]

Anyone know how to connect this with Postnuke? I would be willing to throw in some donation money.

[NonCompare]

So confusing... newbies like me can't get it work! Is there a detailed instructions on how to set it up all, like 1. Do this 2. Then do it...

[ronoxQ]

Well, I read the tutorial on mod-making.

BUT: I don't exactly get it. Which variables do I have to change to get myself a mod for a certain site?
