Integration with vBulletin - WP Integrate - Send vbulletin posts to wordpress

Click Install Please.

This plugin makes it possible to send your forum posts to wordpress and automatically post them there. Its perfect for posting news etc.

It works together with Complete Wordpress/Vbulletin Bridge. But its not needed. You can use this mod without it.

Installation:
1. Upload the included folder (wp-includes) in the root of your wordpress installation.
2. Then import product-postwordpress_(versionnumber).xml in products at vbulletin.
3. Change the settings at Vbulletin Options

3.1 Since version 1.0 of this plugin the values of "Wordpress Categories" and "Vbulletin Forums" are linked together. This means value 1 of Vbulletin Forums post to value 1 of Wordpress Categories.

So if:
Vbulletin Forums = 1,2,4,4
Wordpress Categories = 11,12,13,14

Forum 1 posts to WP category 11
Forum 2 posts to WP category 12
Forum 4 posts to WP category 13 and 14

So if you want to post multiple categories you have to set them independently for every wordpress category


Upgrade:
1. Uninstall the previous version.
2. Then import product-postwordpress_(versionnumber).xml in products at vbulletin.
3. Change the settings at Vbulletin Options
4. Overwrite the files in the wordpress root.

Troubleshooting:
For wordpress 2.8 users
for the people having troubles install your original formating.php
then open the file and search for:

function sanitize_url

and change it into:

function wp_sanitize_url

If you can't find it you don't have to change it. This should do the trick.


Requirements:
* Wordpress and Vbulletin scripts must reside on the same physical server.
* Wordpress and Vbulletin must use the same domain name.
* Stable Wordpress Version greater than or equal to 2.7.1 (didn't test with 2.7.0 or lower)
* DOES work for Vbulletin 3.8. (not tested with 3.7. or lower)

Limitations:
* Posts won't get deleted in wordpress when you delete them in vbulletin.
* Posts won't get edited in wordpress when you edit them in vbulletin.
* You need the have the charset synced between vbulletin and wordpress.

Robert, I didn't mean to sound 'un-friendly' in my post (as it may have come accross that way), I do think it's good work and was just what I was looking for.

The link actually broke the style as it sat to the right of the footer where I have moved the VB copyright up to fit with my style. As I can remove the link to your blog, I may re-add and situate your link elsewhere on the forum, many thanks.

There is another way to do this, but I can't remember how. Isn't this native to both WP and VB where you publish RSS feed links from VB in the WP plugin? I know I did this without any plugins.

[robertjandreu]

no it isn't. Rss feeds won't give you instant update. It always takes the time you give the cronjob to check it. I tried doing this with RSS but ended up making this plugin because its more reliable.

Works fine, but is there any chance to make attachments appear as thumbnails in worpress ? TIA

well it isn't impossible. I will take a look at it.

[skindu26]

my forum is in http://forum.site.com and my blog is in http://blog.site.com

i used all the options for wordpress path using trial and error but only getting this error:
vBulletin Tip #42: Not much would be accomplished by merging this item with itself.

much explanation would be welcome

When there are already topics posted in the forum before the plugin was installed, will it then pull all those topics to wordpress if you install the plugin?

[ArnyVee]

Just want to confirm....this will allow for our vBulletin posts from a particular forum to be posted as "stories" or "articles" within WP? Will the 'username' and 'avatar' of the person posting come over as well if coupled with the "bridge" mod as well?
