vBulletin Worpress Bridge
This is a new version of the vBulletin Wordpress bridge (see previous version). I have decided to start over from scratch on this plugin. This does NOT have all the features in the previous version. Wordpress has changed significantly over the years and since I am just now picking this FREE product back up; I have to basically start over.
This version is designed for the 3.8 line of vBulletin. It may however work with 4.x however it is not by design. I have no use for version 4 of vBulletin so I will not be developing this mod to work with it. If for some reason it does not work with 4.x, cry to IB, not me. DONATE TODAY I do this during my spare time which I have very little of. Any donation you make will go a long way to keeping this product current. You can donate here. What this product does
vBulletin 3.8.6 and WP 3.0.4 Installation instructions Extract the vbbridge folder on to your local machine. Upload this folder and its contents to your wp-contents/plugin directory. Go into your WP admin control panel and activate the plugin. Go to Settings -> Vbridge Settings Enter the RELATIVE path to your forum. Once you click submit you should see this message above the submit button: "Vbulletin has been located and is loaded into memory" If not then the script cannot find VB. Check your relative path and remember, this is not the complete path. The only time you would use the complete path is if your server does not allow access to the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] variable. Once you get the "Vbulletin has been located and is loaded into memory" message, the product should be working. Now you need to map VB users. From the wordpress control panel, click users, then vbridge user settings. This will bring you to the screen where you can map VB user groups to WP user groups. You must complete this before moving to the next step. Wordpress Control Panel Access for VB Users This is somewhat stable but should be considered experimental. AFTER YOU FINISH the above and map out the users, open vbbridge.php and edit this line: Code:
##define('USE_ADMINCP_BRIDGE', true); Code:
define('USE_ADMINCP_BRIDGE', true); After you have finished this, you will then be able to log into the WP control panel with your VB credentials. If for some reason this does not work, just comment out the above line and your old WP login should work. Custom Modules Any PHP file added to the modules directory will be executed when the bridge starts. You can use this method to customize and extend the bridge on your system without having to edit the source code as much. Special thanks to www.socialknowledge.com for their support in creating this product! Notes: Previous downloads (2874) |

I have updated this to 10.0.1. I added code to disable all Vbulletin hooks while in wordpress. When wordpress is integrated, it loads an instance of VB in memory so it can check the users info (name, logged in, etc.).. Sometimes plugins can cause errors so I have disabled them by default.
If for some reason plugins are needed on (I cannot foresee why) then you can enable them in the vbridge settings. Just overwrite the files and you are all set! |

I have updated to version 10.0.2. This version addresses bugs people were having where the author of an article was being assigned to a VB user. This has now been fixed and the proper WP user will be shown.
Just overwrite your current installation and the upgrade will be complete. |

I have updated to version 10.0.5. This version can allow you to bridge users into the WP control panel and also fixes some minor bugs such as WP roles and case sensitivity with username and passwords.
There may still be some bugs with the control panel access and you have to actually edit vbbridge.php to enable it so please re-read the directions in the first post of this thread. |
