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.

You'll get that error if you don't install the product-jos.xml in the vbulletin admincp!

Now that we're in RC1, do you recommend installing it in a production setting?

Michael Morris · #**236** 06-04-2007, 03:22 PM

Yes - but proceed with caution.

Keep up the great work! I'm keenly interested in this mod and wish you the best of luck.

Hello. I've been pondering over this for a while now and can't get my head around it. Basically i'm wanting all the frontendness of Joomla and also the powerfull forum qualities of VB. I suppose im stuck on how to move on with from memory (im doing something else for 2 weeks while i think about the above)

Using Joomla wraps really slows things down so i was looking at not wrapping. Bah i don't know anymore. I think im gonna have to just wait till the day that you can export all my threads and posts on VB forum to Fireboard or something which is more intergrated. Am i right in thinking that using vb and joomla will always be a problem and it's just like sticking them both together with glue in a shoddy fashion?

I was getting navigation difficulties too with the forum navigation top left showing in a wrap and then folks still using it and the wrap size all going to pot. I dont think i ever did suss out how to just present the forum as a forum with no 'other bits'

Actually there must be room for improvement in my thinking. Can anyone tell me what i'm missing here or can advise the best way? Sorry iff this is not the time nor place to discuss this so feel free to move it mr moderator. I really would love to put this to bed. It's killing me truth be told. I don't even know what i'm doing anymore. It's all just a big mess

Thanks

Well, you can look at my site if you want to see a non-wrapped vb that's integrated with Joomla to a degree - just took a lot of work customizing the vbulletin skin to match the Joomla one. Add in the bbpixel bridge for $20 and you have a pretty well integrated site on the front end, just two with different admin areas on the back to worry about.

I wasn't looking at using this hack because originally it just used Vbulletins template system for Joomla pages - that might have worked out for some, but for those like me who already have a lot of work in to nice looking Joomla templates it was a no-go - but now that there is an option to use Joomla templates for Joomla pages I may try it out.

You could wait for a converter, and for Fireboard to become more stable, but frankly Fireboard doesn't have half the features vbulletin does and it's not all that integrated either - it's skins and templates are also separate, so if you are looking for a fully integrated "look" you still have a lot of work to do.

Uninstall then reinstall - this field is supposed to be added by the product-jos.xml. If it doesn't add it then I'll check the XML.

Also make sure the plugin system is enabled - if I recall correctly install code will not execute if you have the plug in system turned off.

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