For vBulletin Integration

[rezilient]

I have seen many posts on this board that the vBulletin module is NOT working, but then I come across some people where it IS working.

To me it appears this inconsistency can easily be solved with some DETAILED information provided by everyone who is experiencing this problem.

The errors that I am receiving:

- when I successfully upload the vbull.aemod module file and then click REFRESH it says:
refresh.php returned:
Module error: synchronizeProfiles(): exec(/usr/bin/php -f refresh.php 1 admin ) returned 255

- try to setup a new account via Dolphin
Module error: FuncAdd(): exec(/usr/bin/php -f vbregister.php add 0 test2 test3 test2@test.com 0 0 0 "" Standard 1 1 1 2 0 ) returned 255

- login to Dolphin with user test2, works... click Forum link on left menu
Fatal error: Erroneous or empty query result: SELECT userid, usergroupid, membergroupids, username, password, salt FROM user WHERE username = 'admin'
Erroneous or empty query result: SELECT userid, usergroupid, membergroupids, username, password, salt FROM user WHERE username = 'admin'


I have already done this...

.. place vbulletin files to Dolphin forum directory, make vbulletion installation, enter to admin panel->manage modules section, upload vbull.aemod file from modules directory and press "Refresh" button.

The "refresh" step is the one that is failing, as mentioned above...


As Boonex suggested, I have confirmed that the PHP binary is in the expected location...

[root@cp ~]# whereis php
php: /usr/bin/php /etc/php.d /etc/php.ini /usr/local/lib/php /usr/local/lib/php.ini

[root@cp ~]# /usr/bin/php -v
PHP 4.3.9 (cgi) (built: Nov 7 2006 05:00:50)

header.inc.php
$PHPBIN = "/usr/bin/php";


- I am able to run other exec() commands via HTTPD, for example I tried "whoami" and got back "httpd".

- a fresh installation of vBulletin 3.6.5 is installed at /dolphin/forum/

- dolphin and vbulletin share the same MySQL database, neither have any prefixes for the tables (defaults)... also tried separate databases, same deal

Anyone else seeing this same problem?

There seems to be a lack of documentation & support in the Dolphin / Vbulletin integration. I've tried to read the vbull.aemod with no light bulb. I'm a mortal.

Please some higher-order thinker decode that file and give us an idea whether or not the problem lies in the codes of that file or elsewhere.

Bestest,

We decided to use Dzoic Handshakes instead, seems to be a solid platform.

I probably will go with DZOIC as well. Still trying to understand the dating functions of Dzoic - which seems to be a totally different interface. Any pointer?

Really folks - the vbulletin module is not hard... if you are trying to read the module in a text editor - you will be frustrated - as it is an sql insert.

Load it into your db using the admin panel - then check the code in phpmyadmin - in the modules table.

It is much easier to read there - and follow.

Has anyone gotten vbulletin to integrate with dolphin? Seems that the 'bull.aemod' breaks the code. In my case, when I upload this file in the Admin Console of Dolphin, syncing doesn't occur and the join_forum page has a problem reading the inc/db.inc.php file and causes a database error for all new and existing members attempting to make changes on this page.

Any thoughts?

Platform: vBulletin® Version 3.6.9
Dolphin 6.0.0005

Dose anyone know how to get the VBulletin integration to work without errors yet? I need to do this with dol 6.0004 and vb 3.7.1

[Smoge]

We integrate forums all the time... the time it takes depends on the level of integration...

Ok, I took the leap!

I upgraded my site to 6.1.4 and vBulletin to 3.7.4.
Then I did the VB integration with out any errors.


I'm currently using the RSS2 feed for the profiles page, but this shows all posts.

How can I get only the members posts to show on the members profile page?

[silverado350]

My mistake, the integration isn't working. I created a test profile and logged in to the site. Then I went to the forum but I wasn't logged in there.
