This mod looks very, very promising.

Could this be used to integrate vBulletin with Buddypress?

Unfortunately we have no near plans to connect BuddyPress platform to vBulletin, however we have added this platform to the list and consider the connection in 2012.

From other hand we are in internal brainstorm period of thinking to connect already existing accounts and letting users to change their username and email address in platforms.

If somebody opens to share the vision how they would like to see this, that's greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
For mediawiki, this mod used to work very well, but is no longer active. would be great of the bridge could be based similar to this:

ndahiya, we don't honestly think that our commitment is going to be a growth of the platform related features at the moment. Our initial and major goal is to provide a smart single sign-on mechanism to connect platforms together and connect already existing accounts properly. We have noted your advice and definitely get back to the consideration in 2012.

We have a Drupal platform as a highest priority for the beginning of next year. It is going to be published as soon as we could provide enhanced version of the current plugins with the better existing accounts management.

i believe there are 3 components to integration:
1. user authentication and sign on integration
2. look and feel
3. other addons (like, showing wikiedits in the profile page etc).

for me, the 1st is the key (the 2nd would be useful, but not critical per se). it would be great if mediawiki was included in the list of supported platforms. the other things will be taken care of by other sers, once the signon functionality is standardized and stable.

Hi, vbootstrap.php is a part of the vBulletin vBSSO package, maybe you just installed vBulletin vBSSO plugin for WordPress instead of WordPress vBSSO plugin?

Hey, I uploaded all folders from the "upload" in the vbulletin root directory.
In the "/wp-conten/plugins" directory I only uploaded the vbsso folder. Then I uploaded the vbsso.xml on vbulletin. And now I want to activate the plugin on wordpress but I get the fatal error message.
