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

When trying to add the module

PHP Code:

Parse error: parse error in /var/www/forums/includes/connector/joomla.class.php on line 25

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /admincp/connector.php on line 196

Excellent hack idea! *Installed*

I will tip anyone who is willing to help me bridge to Tribe.net, MediaWiki, other vB sites, Infopop and PHPBB (ranked in that order).

The only catch would be, make the code available in this thread for all to enjoy.

It would also be great to maintain a running list in this thread of what bridges have and haven't worked, or something.

the joomla.class.php works only if you use php5

php4 - sql - based joomla module will be released this week

i have allreade created some modules for phpbb/wbblite
this modules are for joomla, but i will port then to vbulletin

[leonsio]

ups i have found one bug in the application

all modules will be set to inactive after addition

ALTER TABLE `PREFIXconnectors` CHANGE `published` `published` TINYINT( 4 ) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL

please run this query, after it if you adds a module it will be active

i will fix this bug in the next release



new module added:

joomla_sql

with this module you can connect to joomla over DB-Connects ( also like vbridge )

just download the zip file in the first post and unzip it into /includes/connectors folder

this module supports common login and user synchronisation ( by login )

for the way joomla->vbulletin you must install this component in joomla site

Is this possible to use for calling from ASP.NET?
My server is running PHP Version 4.4.0 and my goal is to be able to use the existing user information stored in the VBulletin database on the ASP.NET site obviously which is on a different server.

[monotreme]

your forum page is works but your main site is unavailable. Please pm me when your main site isb ack so I cn see this hack it looks very interesting to me

Anyone tried to do this to connect with a Drupal system? Is it possible?
