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.

re-copying vbulletin database
I am trying to move my old domain with only vbulletin forum to a new domain
with vbulletin forum plus vbdrupal. This way I can do some experiment with druapl
without disturbing users at the old domain.

I did the following steps:

1. created a new blank mysql database called newdatbase, and
copied the vbulletin forum database olddatabase to newdatabase
(first use mysqldump ... olddatabase > output.backup
and then mysql ... newdatabase < output.backup
)
2. then I installed vbdrupal
everything is fine with installation.
I then added some modules to drupal part, and customized the drupal.

3. by the time I finished step 2, a few days already passed by, users at
the old domain already updated the forum database. I thought I could just
copy the database from the old domain to the new domain again, however
after the database copying:
mysql -u xx -p xx newdatabase < output.backup
the drupal part is no longer working, I got a blank page. It does not
matter whether I sync the users, or update vbdrupal, or redo settings.php
I always get a blank page.

What is my solutions? Do I have to delete the newdatabase (I am not sure
what is the command to empty the newdatabase) and lose all the drupal
changes or there is a way that I save my work ?

Thanks.

cache I think you would have better results asking the questions on www.vbdrupal.org

Definitely has a much steeper learning curve than other CMS add-ons, but in the end it also seems to work the best. Installed and thanks!
