vBSSO is a vBulletin plugin that helps you connect to different software platforms like content management systems, blogs, and online stores using a secure Single Sign-On

The system has two components. First, there’s a vBulletin plugin that creates an interface for authenticating, controlling access, and managing user profile data. The second component is plugins for other platforms (like WordPress) that teach it to talk to vBulletin and exchange data. Here’s a list of support platforms.

vBSSO doesn't map vBulletin groups to WordPress groups.

(atleast, not without manually making changes within mysql)

It doesn't work with vBulletin 3.x. vBSSO is supported for vBulletin 4.x so far.

I have a number of scripts on my site that I'd like to be able to use this, but don't know how to accomplish this.

Is there documentation somewhere to explain this? If not, can you provide an outline of the basic process to accomplish this (files to copy to other script's directory, which files to edit, etc.)?

I have installed this mod and it was painless and appears to be working beautifully!

I do have a question, are there instructions on the other settings (i.e. Access Settings, Profile Fields, etc.). Is there anyway to allow certain vBulletin Usergroups to be Authors on the blog, opposed to just Subscribers?

The Profile fields are used to transfer first name, last name of the user, etc from forum to blog in case when user registers account in vB.

Access settings are used to restrict auto login to blog, for example the person who signs in from forum, might not be in to blog automatically or person who signs in from blog should be signed in automatically in both platforms.

So far we basically listen to the people who are interested in this and collaborating in a forum to do this then would be able to split the amount contribution between them.

That would be feasible certainly.

We are going to start collecting the votes regarding the Joomla and Drupal plugins by the end of this month to get you all support us and make this happen and released this summer.

I hope it gets underway soon. I can pay my contribution as soon as your ready. Let me know the contribution amount you had in mind and if its reasonable I'd be willing to go beyond that amount to speed this process up if possible.
