Integration with vBulletin - Wordpress vBulletin integration

Integrate your vBulletin forum with Wordpress.

The lite version of this Wordpress vBulletin bridge allows your Wordpress posts to be posted to vBulletin.

This is a Wordpress plugin that facilitates this functionality. Just install it in your WP plugin folder and set up the path to your vBulletin installation. As long as the forum is on the same server, this works well.

No need to combine the databases. No need to modify core WP files.

It's that easy!

All of your Wordpress posts will be posted in your forum. You will designate a forum to take these posts. If you have sub forums that match the name of the category of the Wordpress post, this plugin will automatically put the post there.

The full version, available at wp-vb-bridge.obscurecloud.com// allows more functionality to fully integrate your Wordpress and vBulletin including:

Wordpress->vB features:

1. *Registration sync - new users created on WP are automatically created on vB
2. *New post sync - new WP posts are intelligently posted to the matching forum. There are some controls on which forum they are posted to.
   Options:
   - Posts can be attributed to the user posting or
   - All posts can be attributed to a designated user
3. *Comment sync - new comments made on WP are posted to the synced forum
4. *Login sync - when you login or logout of WP, the vB session is created or destroyed at the same time
5. *Avatar sync - vBulletin avatars are used on WP comments (requires user-photo WP plugin)
6. *No modification of core WP files!
7. *No modification of WP config file!
8. *100% plugin setting based - install the plugin, set your forum path, activate the features you want, enjoy!

vBulletin ->Wordpress features *NEW*

• *Registration sync - new users created on vB are automatically created on WP
• *New thread sync - new vB threads are intelligently posted to the matching WP category.
  Options:
  - Only post to designated category
  - Try to match forum name (or any of its parents) to a WP category then post to the designated category if no match is found.
  - Try to match forum name (or any of its parents) to a WP category then create a new WP category
• *Reply sync - replies made to synced threads will have replies posted to the matching WP post
• *Login sync - when you login or logout of vB, the WP session is created or destroyed at the same time
• *No modification of core vB files!
• *No modification of vB config file!
• *100% plugin based - this plugin will create the vB plugins needed through the WP plugin settings page!

This is still a work in progress so the code will be updated often.

Feel free to let me know how it works, additional features you'd like, and if you have any problems.

Here is a guide from a user:
Thanks a bunch for putting this together BAJR
Quick Guide.

First unpack the folder into plugins, where all the files and sub folders should reside in [wb-vb] folder.

now in Wordpress Plugins, activate the plugin and then go to Settings --> WP Vb integration


Essentials are as follows: (everything else you can play with!)


1) Path to vBulletin. / means the Vbulletin Forum is in your root folder. ie www.mysite.com/
/forum/ means the Vbulletin Forum is in a folder called forum. ie www.mysite.com/forum/
ALWAYS add the trailing /


2) Activate login sync feature [check box]


3) Activate post sync feature [check box]

4) Forum ID - this is the NUMBER of your desired linked forum ( sub forums are added from this) so look at your vbulletin URL

http://mysite.com/forumdisplay.php?6-The-Forum the ID would be 6


5) vBulletin user id to assign posts to - this is numerical as well. so ID number of who you want to add these too.



6) vBulletin -> Wordpress Settings

Add vBulletin plugins ... click add


7) go back up and click [TEST] - if all is well you should see... vB loaded Plugins - 1|1|1|1|1|1|1



8) SAVE CHANGES...

There is a small bug:

When someone posts on WP page, post gets synced with vB thread and it's shown correctly but in vbpost table in mysql field "username" is left blank only "user id" is set and because of that post count for that user is not updated.

Dose any1 can confirm that whole mod is working?

I bought it in February and it's working.

In addition to Tabiaspy is anyone else actively using the bridge? Any thoughts on the overall effectiveness of the plugin?

[CaskSmuggler]

@ ne_one

I've ran the plugin a few times. (full version, not the one on this post)

The first time it seemed to work without any hiccups, there's a lot of things involved - so for a somewhat novice like myself it takes a bit of getting used to. Thus the second time, now, it's not working, but that's most likely just due to my pure incompetence.

I do have a problem with Avatars however. The old plugin that's required to get them to work is out of date, and when I use it it likes to bugger up the theme & not actually do it's job. Beyond that, no real complaints. Though comments aren't currently syncing.

Overall I thought it was a good plugin, works fine. Just currently, for me, until I remove my head from my ass - it's not functioning. I dare say a clean uninstall/install would help. Equally, so would a brain transplant.

It also seems that the website is no longer there.

Very sad, as we were really hoping to have found a solution for this.

[KGodel]

Has anyone tested this with Wordpress 4.x? If this isn't working does anyone know of a different bridge that works?

[Fleiding]

I upgraded to WordPress 4 and it's still working like a charm.

Hi guys, I need some helps here!

First of all, I have a domain name called jdacommunity.com and it used WordPress.

For its forum, jdacommunity.com/forum I used vBulletin and I integrated those two platforms using https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=296819

I just moved all vBulletin files to my new domain called kami-indonesia.com, it loaded but the things are it doesn't show any images and the links are screwed up. You can check it by yourself!

Anyone can help me with this? What to do? Thanks before.

It's actually http://wp-vb-bridge.obscurecloud.com (www. doesn't make sense) but you are indeed correct, their site is no longer up. The Developer of this addon was last online in May 2014, too.

I've used this addon myself, and found that it was extremely lacking in terms of functionality (I'm looking for something that can cross post between vB and WordPress, preferably free).

Nope, I still cannot open it! Blank page.

Is anyone willing to share the full version since the original developer is no longer active on here?
