Using vbulletin 4.0 for wordpress comments

[mzadorian]

We have an active wordpress blog , which people comment, and vbulletin 4.0 forum that is dead. How can i better integrate them. I was thinking at the bottom of each blog entry. somehow whenever someone wants to comment it takes them to the forum so theres a section they can comment there.

Also, any other integration tips would be great.

Thanks

Simple Method:
Disable comments and leave a link to a thread to your forums?

Complex Method:
Perhaps integrate both WP and VB together using the same login database; making a WP post automates creating a thread in the forum where the comment link leads to the thread. /shrugs

Thanks, i think i can disable comments, and install a plugin so the post's title gets posted in vbulletin, then have it customized so whenever someone clicks to comment it takes them to a new thread. only issue is having page titles with duplicate titles is something i want to avoid.

Chat with the guy who made the wp -> vb3 bridge, he did something like your asking for me. Worked well too.

I would just have a forum RSS robot / account read the wordpress feed and make threads in a forum.

- enable "Allow trackbacks and pingbacks" in the blog.

AdminCP => RSS Feeds => Add New RSS Feed

Title Template:

{feed:title}

Body Template:

On {feed:date} posted by {feed:author}

That could work too ... the mod I was using worked a lot like the vb cms does though, the wp article showed a link to the forum thread and the comments in wp, were from the forum thread.
