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.

Make sure the forum path is correct. vJoomla will guess at it - but if you're seeing that error it's likely that it is guessing wrong.

I think I'm going to love it but are there any live demo's or screenshots available?

Michael Morris · #**216** 06-01-2007, 10:12 AM

hey, thanks again for the updates

What if I've already got Joomla installed on my server, and am still going to upload and install vbulletin
do I just upload the files that u have marked to be uploaded where the forum is after I install my board and then install the plugin, or will that mess up the whole site??

That would appear to be a server read permissions error. Check the chmod settings for the files.

Correction - this is a bug in the installer. I have written and tested a fix for this problem. I'm now going to write some additional product code for the next revision.

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