Unfortunately, vBulletin decided that a vBulletin WPMU bridge was not in their commercial interests and locked the thread, despite 30 of their licensed users expressing an interest. The thread, http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=196906, remains readable but not new posts can be made and, therefore, can no longer be used to rally together all the vB users who would like to see it happen.
I swapped a few emails back and forth with vB and they took the time to explain their position. I don’t agree but I guess I can understand their panic; WordPress is one of the few Open Source products that has wiped out commercial products in it’s sector, blogging, and they’re desperately worried that there is no longer that much difference between their $180 product and the free alternatives.
There is, of course, nothing to stop any of you being a bit cheeky and starting your own threads on http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/, innocently asking why there isn’t a vBulletin WPMU bridge
Personally, though, I’ve deciding to transition away from vB – I’ll be keeping my existing vB sites going but, for new projects, I don’t see the point of buying any more vB licenses.
bbPress is pretty bad but I’m optimistic that they will improve over time, especially now that BuddyPress is advancing so quickly. I like the way in which, in BuddyPress, the forums are spread among the groups within the social network – it makes a lot of sense, sort of like wrapping each section of your forum in it’s own homepage, featuring the users who “hang out” in that section.
Awesome, will check it out today.
On an interesting side note, somewhere along the line I broke my connection from BuddyPress to bbPress again. Ha! I need to stop fidgeting with things soon I think.
Hi John.
I have to test the xprofile stuff on the bbpress template tag level. I think I’m transferring data that could be serialized in $field_obj->data->value. Gotta check that.
This thing needs chat. You ever on IRC? A bunch of us hang out in irc.freenode.net #buddypress. I’m always there.
Well, yes I do, but I’d like it done the right way, and I suspect your way will be better than mine.
If you want some help putting it through the motions, I’ll gladly take some time tomorrow to work your new version into mine.
I like the inclusion of ‘signature’ in a profile field! Nice idea.
I’ve updated bbGroups to optionally transfer all users over to bbpress meta or just users who are in groups. Skipping the bbpress/buddypress utility user.
I’ve got all xprofile groups and group field values going to bbpress.
Got a template tag that allows getting any of those values by user, group, field.
Did some cleanup internationalization for text.
Now doing testing. Gotta look into the problem with tags for hidden groups showing up in the tag cloud. I don’t think you’d be interested in any of this. You’ve already got that stuff implemented.
I think that the only mod of yours I stepped on was the oci_get_user_filter() changes you included in there. I added another filter function oci_get_xprofile_filter($user) that adds all the xprofile fields to the $user array. It won’t break your mod, it’ll just add all the xprofile fields again.
/**
* oci_get_xprofile_filter()
*
* This filter adds all xprofile groups and group fields to bbpress
*
* @param <array> $user
* @return <array> $user array for xmlrpc transport
*/
function oci_get_xprofile_filter($user){
$xprofile_groups = BP_XProfile_Group:: get_all(true); // all except empty groups
foreach($xprofile_groups as $group){
foreach($group->fields as $field){ // all fields for group
$field_obj = new BP_XProfile_Field($field->id, $user,true); // this field
// xprofile_groupname_fieldname to prevent conflicts
$user = array(‘group’ => $group->name, ‘name’ => $field_obj->name, ‘value’ => $field_obj->data->value, ‘type’ => $field_obj->type);
}
}
return $user;
}
add_filter(‘oci_get_user’,’oci_get_xprofile_filter’,10,1);
Thanks John. I’m doing some upgrades to the bbGroups thing today and I’ll integrate what I can into the plugin. I’m thinking a generic oci_include_xprofile_field() function that takes a field name and if it exists includes it in the transferred data.
The deep integration stuff will be included. bbPress has a deep detector and constant defined that changes it’s behavior if it’s ON. Don’t do this, do that different if DEEP. I’m going to follow the same path as sambauers. The results will be the same as yours.
if (DEEP) require_once(…);
p.s It’s not called DEEP.
NOTE: not done talking just saving..
No no it’s totally cool, we’re here to help
The reason your cookies didn’t have the hash at the end was because you didn’t have the salts in both config files.
1. Remove the hash you put in your config file.
2. Put matching salts in both config files.
3. Go into your cookies and delete ALL of them for your domain.
4. Revisit your site, find the cookie with the hash, put that hash in your wp-config file.
5. Then delete ALL the cookies from the domain again, login again, and see if it works.
