Janrain Engage for vBulletin - Beta Released
vBulletin is the world leader in forum and community publishing software. Their customers have created vibrant communities for over 10 years on vBulletin?s stable and mature platform. Developed with security, powerful administration features and speed in mind, it serves over 70,000 online communities.
User's of the vBulletin CMS can now make it quicker and easier for their visitors to register, sign-on, and share by adding the Janrain Engage for vBulletin to their site. This release has been developed using the attest version of vBulletin and should be compatible with vBulletin 4.x or greater.
Features included in this plugin: Site Registration & Login via a Preferred Social Network or Email Provider
Give your visitors the option to sign-in to your site with their existing credentials from a social network or email provider such as Facebook, Google, Twitter, Yahoo!, LinkedIn, SalesForce, Windows Live ID(XBOX, Hotmail, Messenger), Orkut, MySpace, AOL and others (Over 20 Supported Networks).
Social Sharing with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Yahoo!
A customizable widget to share articles to multiple social networks simultaneously. Users can select up to four social communities such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Yahoo for publishing. On average, each post will generate nine referral clicks back to your site for each post.
We are very excited to announce the Janrain Engage for vBulletin - Beta and will continue to rollout new features and functionality in the coming months. We?d love to hear your feedback so we can continue to improve upon our product.
Interesting stuff, thanks. But, what are the cons? I mean, what's in for your company? Or other said it doesn't look like you make this only for a better world. Is a link set to your site, do you share/collect user data?
Edit: Ok, just saw on your website that you offer different tariff plans based upon monthly login numbers.
I'd like to know
- Does it play nicely with the intergrated facebook connect?
- what happens to existing accounts, if I uninstall the mod?
- Is the 2,500 limit new registrations per year or a hard limit?
Thanks for the feedback guys. I was the developer on this project.
@edenx we don't have any plans for supporting earlier versions of vBulletin. Feel free to submit your request to feedback.janrain.com
@NTT we'll release a final version as soon as we're confident that the plugin works in a variety of server environments. We've tested it internally but there's always some unexpected results when you release something into the wild.
@gamerzhut can you provide some details over at support.janrain.com? This is precisely the feedback we're looking for - making the product more stable.
@nitra1000 it should work fine with the integrated facebook connect, although the accounts won't be mutually accessible. An account created with Janrain Engage (even if Facebook is the selected provider) won't be accessible by authenticating through the integrated facebook connect, nor the other way around. If you uninstall the mod the existing accounts remain but because they have no passwords the users will no longer be able to sign in.

So once over 2,500 registered users, a board is forced to start paying or loose those 2,500 members? In my case that means over $2,250 per year.
