vBulletin Mods

Tonight's project goals --

1. Get the vJoomla site up and running. I'll continue to watch this site, but the forum will provide a working example of the module. For now the site will be my online dev example.
2. If I have enough time after that I'll be releasing version .1.3. It will include the login module among other fixes.

would the joomla user database and the vbulletin user database be cross used as you logg into the site you can use it and the mods and admin will have extra privileges in the joombla article / news post

Sort of. vJoomla doesn't use the Joomla table for authentication at all - it authenticates off the vbulletin object. This means only one list of users with one set of log ins are all that are needed for both sides of a site.

Now I'm still cleaning things up, but for those of you that have been holding out for a demo of this product, here we go ;)

Version 0.1.3 is out. The debug code has been removed (it was generating more mail than I can hope to sort through - luckily I linked it to a throwaway email account). Those worried about security though can rest easier. A minor bug in the product_jos.xml has also been removed.

Re: bbpixel.

Michael has clearly stated that bbpixel and vJoomla are different solutions with different goals. Some vB users might want to use bbpixel.

vJoomla.com looks good. So very cool to see the native Joomla! install with vB templates.

:)

Hmm, strange, just installed the newest version of vBAdvanced, and if i enable the hack now, some modules work (at the vBAdvanced homepage), not all, but most of them. My news module isn't working though. I wonder what the problem could be... It might be the PHP-files?

EDIT: @Micheal: You might want to try installing vBAdvanced CMPS (at www.vbadvanced.com), it's free and alot of people are using this. Maybe you can see what's wrong.

I wouldn't know. I'm familiar with vbAdvanced, this is the system the sites I admin currently run. I haven't investigated any of the problems between them - the two products aren't really meant to go together at all.

Yeah, that's the strange part. Only the News and Who's Online modules aren't working... Hope i can figure it out, since i could really use this.

Well, my next tool I'm working on will move news posts out of the forum you designated for them in vbAdvanced and put them in the Joomla content table where they really belong, and also allow for commenting. Once vJoomla is ready to go there shouldn't be a NEED to run vbAdvanced alongside it.

noo what my question was and you pretty much cleared it up already, would the use the same user database and would the admins and mods get special privileges on the joomla end

its probably the most exciting mod i've ever seen in vb. Thats just what i need as hundreds of other vbulletin&joomla users.

Thank you for devoloping and sharing that mod. Im looking forward to see the stable version. I think it will be a very popular mod in the future..;)

HI Michael,

Got this error while registering in www.vjoomla.com

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /www/vjoomla.com/production/htdocs/forum/register.php on line 384

yap... probably could be nominated to be listed in the "premuim modifications"

it works now... :)

That's an intermittent PHP 5 error - I need to upgrade my version of PHP on that server.
