Integration with vBulletin - vbDrupal 5

vbDrupal is a fork of the CMS Drupal. It integrates Drupal into the forum software vBulletin.
vbDrupal is a close fork of Drupal, it has only be forked to modify some of the core files of Drupal for better interoperability. All changes made to the Drupal code will be merged with vbDrupal. Therefore a vbDrupal 5.x.y release is more or less identical to a Drupal 5.x release.

Drupal and vBulletin are tightly connected with each other, user accounts and sessions are shared between the two systems. vbDrupal tries to offer the best of both worlds. vbDrupal should be compatible with all user contributed modules and themes that can be found on the Drupal site.

Besides user and session integration vbDrupal also offers various modules to bring vBulletin content into the Drupal space.:

• Latest threads/posts blocks
• Import any vBulletin post as content
• Use vBulletin for content comments
• Latest poll block
• Event and birthday blocks
• Use vBulletin code for formatting in Drupal content

vbDrupal 5 makes used of the Drupal 5.x series and is only compatible with the vBulletin 3.6 series. vBulletin 3.5 users can use the vbDrupal 4.7 series.

Examples of sites using vbDrupal can be found here.

Thanks I installed vbDrupal and vbulletin in the same directory and encountered one small problem ...

vBulletin's home page is "index.php" as is vbDrupal's home page.

So now I have 2 index.php pages -- vBulletin's main forum home and vbDrupal's home.

Is there a way to set vbDrupal's main home page to be something other than index.php? I renamed it and that did not work as all the links in the administration control panel are index.php?q=admin/build/themes etc. Is there a config setting to change the main drupal page to "default.php" or "main.php" or something other than index.php?

Thx

put the vbdrupal files in a directory like blogs, main, home, etc so the file names don't conflict.

Also, you will get much faster support responses by posting your issues and questions here:

The best mod out for vbulletin. I love drupal and I love VB, and vbDrupal rocks.

Time to upgrade from 4.7 to 5.2 ;_; I hope its much better.

Thx for this mod.... :up::up::up:

Been a long-time user of vbDrupal, back when Tamarian was the main maintainer, wouldn't recommend any other CMS solution for vBulletin.

Finally upgraded from vbDrupal 4.7 to 5.3, clicking install.

Do all additional modules have to be reprogrammed by you in order to work with vbdrupal, or can one just use any drupal modifications, once they've installed vdrupal?

almost all drupal mods will work without issue (pretty much all i've tried). i would expect those that work with login functions to be most likely not to work out of the box. in practice, since vbdrupal stays close to the core drupal, incompatibile mods are few and far between.

this couldn't be further from the truth

vbAdvanced is not a CMS .. plain and simple

vbDrupal is much much more

and yes, you can use vbadvanced with vbdrupal

I see vbadvanced more as a SKIN (imo) which u can add blocks to and then vbDrupal can be used for content, blogs and even more

Installed fast and easy without problems.

I am very happy in the way it works with vbulletin. And Drupal
has won a lot of prizes as THE best CMS software.

Hi just a quick question..... Will it chance my forums? I mean will it put the drupal side bar on my forums like in the demo site? If so is there a way i can make it where it wont do that when i install it?
