Warning!!! An potential exploit has been found in this modification. The server that hosts vjoomla.com has been attacked several times. It is known to already be severely comprimised so at this time it is unclear whether the vulnerability lies in vJoomla, Joomla itself or the server. Until this is resolved to my satisfaction I am removing this modification. My apologies.


The modification WILL be re-released once this issue is resolved!

vJoomla is an offshoot of Joomla 1.0 that is designed to run in tandem with vbulletin. Unlike the main release it will not run without vbulletin - if you desire a CMS without a forum then use Joomla! instead. vJoomla is identical in most all regards to Joomla!

What vJoomla Does
  • Provide a single session, single login interface to Joomla and vbulletin.
  • Allows Joomla pages to be skinned by vbulletin's template engine.
  • Maps Joomla usergroups to vbulletin usergroups.

What vJoomla Does Not Do
  • It does not rewrite your templates for you - so you will need to go in currently and change relative links to images and pages to absolute links. This is most important in the style sheets and in the navbar template. This is something you need to do yourself rather than programmatically since no two sites are likely to be using the same style sheet and the same setup for these links.

Install Instructions
  1. Log into your admincp
  2. Close your forum
  3. If your forums are at the root of your site move them elsewhere - the best location is probably /forum
  4. Upload the files from the zip packages to their respective locations. There should be no overwrites.
  5. Navigate to the root of your site and run the Joomla installer.
  6. Go back to the admincp and install the Joomla product file
  7. Now either copy the ./cpstyles, ./clientscript and ./images directory of the forum into the Joomla directory OR create symbolic links to those directories. The contents of the ./images directory of Joomla and vbulletin will need to be merged.

This is release candidate 2.

Kudos for all the great work you've done so far. I'm sure the Joomla Modules plugin will come in handy.

Version .1 has been released. Please check the privacy policy that has been added. I set up an email specifically for the purpose of monitoring these bug reports - I suspect I'll have a couple hundred messages in there by the time I check again tomorrow.

You are moving at a very fast pace, Michael.
I'm sure we will have version 1 or 2 by the end of this month.

I have joomla installed but will need to see a couple more working demo with various components, plugins before I join.

Thanks for all the hard work.

MOTM

Thanks for the update, Michael!

No matter what I try however, still getting this error, even with the 0.1 beta
Code:
Warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array in \includes\functions.php on line 4840

Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Empty regular expression in \includes\functions.php on line 4840
Any setting that I'm missing, really? I am not using any mods, standard joomla and standard vb files, uploading vjoomla product and overwriting the joomla files, copying images cpstyles and clientscripts to joomla root, yet nothing. Any other setting inside vB admin?

Really want to be able to use this hack, eh...

PM me your absolute forum path on the server side - I have a few error reports and need to figure out which one is yours

Getting the following errors:

Not sure exactly what is going on, appreciate the help though.

Great job . Although I will not be using the modification as I no longer use Joomla instead using a commercial CMS, I must say this is a very large contribution to both communities. The reason why I no longer use Joomla is do to the fact that no coder could ever sustain some form of true integration, and the bbpixel module would destroy the database and contained illegal Vbulletin files. I'm very happy to see someone finally take the initiative to integrate these two brilliant products and seem to be in it for the long run.

kudos

Hi Michael: Database Layer, Functional Layer, Presentation Layer i.e. templates, themes, styles etc.

I see you have coded vJoomla to utilise the vB template system - not the way around I would have wanted as I believe there are many more effectove CSM type styles out there for Joomla/Mambo than vB (vB is not a CMS, Jomla and Mambo are more close to it) - so for me I guess that's a shame. I would say people who would want this bridge would want it to add CMS functionality to their forum and NOT forum functionality to their CMS.

Super work though... as Mr Bob said above... kudos.

Not necessarily, John. My main goal is to add CMS functionality to the forum, yes but it is limited to sharing joomla extensions functionality on a common userbase platform. And, partly because it didn't work for me, I switched the templating thing off and now I'm able to share user authentification and keep joomla templating functionality the way it is. Afterall, I guess this is best option for me at this point.

Great job, Michael
