Can't get users into wordpress from vbulletin

chelseyg · 03-30-2011, 08:36 AM

Hi,

I have managed to get the plugin working correctly, finally, but I'm confused why I have mapped my users and I cannot see ANY new users in wordpress.

I've just seen a thread saying this isn't supported anymore ..? That VB users cannot access WP? I kind of thought this was the point of the plugin, and now am at a loss as to how to get this working! WOuld you be prepared to be paid for additional work on the plugin?

I've basically got the forums and wordpress site on the same domain, mapped my users with no probs, tried to log into Wp with VB login but can't get in..

Cheers,
Chelsey

When the bridge was first being remodeled, we didn't need admin access for our uses. We have since included it.

You will not see the users when you view users in the WP admin. Users however will have the access you give them.. Users are not written to the WP database (nor is anything else except options), the VB database is used directly. This way if you change a users usergroup, it will be immediately reflected in WP.

So providing you enabled WP admin control panel access as per the instructions, yes VB users do have the access you mapped them for.

thanks for your reply, re this point:

the instructions didn't make sense, the variable I was asked to look for wasn't there in vbbridge.php - ##define('USE_ADMINCP_BRIDGE', true);

I assume vbbridge.php is the plugin file, yeh?

Yes. It is the 13th line in vbbridge.php. We made this so you have to manually enable it via the code because if it were an option you set via the control panel, you could lock yourself out of the WP admin if incorrectly configured. This allows you to manually turn it on and off.

Alternately, you could add this to your wp-config.php:

Code:

define('USE_ADMINCP_BRIDGE', true);

That line isn't in my vbbridge.php file - I think I have the latest version, tbh its been really difficult working out what is

I've added it to my wp-config file instead, and now see the cookies error message again which I thought I'd resolved (seems to be intermittent) so I'm unclear if its mapped users. Do I have to manually map users, or once the plugin is working is it automated?

but still can't log into wordpress with my vb login..

Are you prepared to take on paid work to resolve this?

Is there any debugging I can do?

I am not taking any paid work at this time.

If you do not see that line then you did not download the proper version of the bridge. The proper version is located here.

The beginning of the CURRENT vbbridge.php file should look like this:

Code:

/*
Plugin Name: vBulletin Wordpress Bridge
Plugin URI: http://www.lampwrights.com/
Description: This plugin will bridge to VB so VB users can comment on articles bridge users.  For detailed instructions please visit <a href='http://www.lampwrights.com'>Lampwrights.com</a>.  Sponsored by <a href='http://www.socialknowledge.com'>Social Knowledge</a>.
Version: 10.0.6

*/ 

## If you want to try to use this in the adminCP then uncomment the next line
##define('USE_ADMINCP_BRIDGE', true);
