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.

For support and latest updates please go to the vbDrupal forums

Yes, according to this post,

Also, the vbdrupal in this thread is out of date, the one on vbdrupal.org is newer.

[goddess_dix]

several folks have reported using 3.7 versions with no issue.

sub ubi is also correct in pointing out that vbdrupal.org is the best place to check in for updates and support.

No matter what happens on 3.7, I get this error:
The following errors occurred with your submission:

• Validation error, please try again. If this error persists, please contact the site administrator.

Cranky-I suggest going over the the vbdrupal forums (vbdrupal.org), where support will be a little faster, and giving more specific info about the error. (As in, what are you trying to do, does it occur on the drupal side only, were you running it successfully with an older version of vb, etc.)

You can also google that particular drupal error, as there are a number of issues that can cause it to help troubleshoot. but without knowing more about it, if it's a clean install, etc. etc. there isn't much i can suggest to you.

[goddess_dix]

Yes, it does work with 3.72,

I'm trying to figure out what cookie path I need in order to be able to run vbdrupal. I been trying for what seems like hours and I can get it to work. vbdrupal is located at http://www.gamerzcreed.com and the forums are at http://www.gamerzcreed.com/forums HELP! Thank you for your time.

Along with me, some users of my site (http://www.cyburbia.org) are reporting that they get occasional "page not found" errors when posting a message. Reloading the thread and reposting doesn't help, but sometimes removing a paragraph or sentence does. it seems to happen with random threads; try to post in one thread and consistently get the error, post in another and there's no error.


These errors started after I installed the most recent version of vbDrupal. I use vBulletin 3.8.2.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas about a solution?
