Strange WP behavior since install

... to redirect to the vb login page instead of the WP login page.

It is the wordpress login form, but it does connect to the VB database and validate the user when logging into anything else by WP admin.

I use third party desktop software (Windows Live Writer on windows and ecto on Mac) to post to my blog.

Thanks

Hmm, I never use those products but I am imagining this MIGHT work:

Open vbbridge.php and find this line:

if ( !preg_match('#wp-admin#', $_POST['redirect_to']) and !defined('WP_ADMIN') ):

Change to:

if ( !preg_match('#wp-admin#', $_POST['redirect_to']) and !defined('WP_ADMIN') or defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')):

Wow, I didn't realize users could log in through the WP log in form. Thanks.

No luck. It gives me an error stating that my user name or password is invalid.

Jeff, I'd like to implement forum avatars in the comments. I think I have a general idea how to do this, however, any chance you tell me what code I would need (and where) to pull the avatarrevision from the user table by userid?

The mysql query would look something like this:

"SELECT avatarrevision FROM `user` WHERE `userid`= $userid";

Based on that, I think I could construct the avatar link based on an path of:

/forum/customavatars/avatar".$userid."_".$customavatar.".gif

Thanks for your work. I really appreciate what you've done with this mod.

Is not avatarrevision stored in $vb->userinfo ? i.e. $vb->userinfo['avatarrevision ']?

[Jeff]

Hmm scratch that, that won't help. You should be able to use the function fetch_userinfo($userid) though..

I tried that, but it pulls the avatarrevision for the user who is logged in.

Any hint on how I might implement it? I'm unsure of how that would work exactly?

I finally figured in out. For those that might be interested:

$avrevision = $vb->db->query_first("SELECT avatarrevision FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE userid = '" . $vuser['userid'] . "'");

Jeff, did something change since the last version? I'm not able to login with a vb user name and password via the wordpress login screen, but I know I was able to at one point. I went back and re-uploaded your original files, to make sure it wasn't something I did, but that didn't help.

You cannot login into the WP Admin area with your VB login.

I found the issue. It seems the user names are case sensitive when logging in via the wp log in screen. When logging in to the forum directly, the user names are not case sensitive.

Jeff, the above code didn't work, but this seems to.

if (( !preg_match('#wp-admin#', $_POST['redirect_to']) and !defined('WP_ADMIN')) and !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')):

Look ok to you?

Yes actually that makes more sense. I thought I negated that part about the XMLRPC_REQUEST. Yes, that should work.

[Jeff]

I have put that in the pipeline for the next version.
