The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

About Developer · **Released**: 04-25-2007

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

Log into your admincp
Close your forum
If your forums are at the root of your site move them elsewhere - the best location is probably /forum
Upload the files from the zip packages to their respective locations. There should be no overwrites.
Navigate to the root of your site and run the Joomla installer.
Go back to the admincp and install the Joomla product file
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.

instead of

http://localhost/vjoomlatest/forums/usercp.php

in the vJoomla CMS section at:

Code:

http://localhost/vjoomlatest

Along with the images for the Joomla CMS

as I have put the direct path in and some of the images are still not showing.

and im getting that same issue i think its with the url path base i will see about figureing that out =)

I was thinking that also. I'll give it a try. A future option would be fantastic though.

BETA 0.2.0 IS DONE

That wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. Next version (0.2.1) will complete the usergroup configuration and I think I'll be able to relatively quickly place in a toggle that will allow you to choose which template engine to use (vbulletin or Joomla) for Joomla pages (why anyone would want to use two separate template engines eludes me - but it's been requested enough to warrant inclusion).

Michael Morris · #**200** 05-31-2007, 11:14 AM

It's something I do intend to address. It is near to the bottom of the list of things to do though.

I found my first bug

In login.php, line 4, you still have the ./forum instead of our custom thingo

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
