Joomla! Discussion Forums

Ok Leo, I finished installing everything but something is wrong. I think I am still missing something. I am able to login to Joomla but when I click on the Forum link, I appear NOT LOGGED on VBulletin. Here is a step by step rundown, of what I did:

1. Installed Joomla 1.0.8
2. Installed VBulletin 3.5.4
3. Installed JMSOAP from http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,24185.0.html and added the entry to the configuration.php file
4. Installed VB_SOAP_1.0.7 from http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=100559 and added the product via VB Product Installer
5. Installed COM_CONNECTOR_1.0.0 from http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,37194.0.html
6. Installed VBULLETIN_SOAP_1.0.5 from http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,39919.0.html
7. Configured the connector using your instructions quoted below



Am I missing a step? Because I am able to login to Joomla but does NOT login to VBulletin. Looking forward to your help, since I feel that I'm very close to completing this ordeal!

does the user exists in vbulletin?
if not, was user added to vbulletin?
have you used any other connector (solutions) before?
have you controlled are license and connection keys correct?

the license is NOT your vbulletin member ID

that are you cookie and cookie path settings?

have you added cookie prefix?

ups not license, the cookie prefix is needed by the soap module

Yes, only one member, me. On both Joomla and vBulletin.



I had tried the BBPixel solution before.



Ok, the SOAP Key I entered was the same key I used for the configuration.php entry. As for the SOAP Server url, I entered the full url to the server.php file but DID NOT use server.php?wsdl as you stated. Could this be it or it does not matter?

Yes, I added the cookie correctly. It's bb since that is what vb uses by default and I don't change that during installation

1. if the user allready exist
it must have the same username+password like joomla user

2. i dont know how bbpixels module works, you told that it change some core files on vbulletin and joomla
maybe they are not compatible ( example if bbpixels module change vbulletin or joomla user tables )

3. in the configuration.php you must add the key ONLY for the JMSOAP API
this key is needed for the connection vbulletin->joomla

in the module configuration you must add the key, that you have setup under vbulletin settings

4. the domain cookie must be set on "empty"
5. the cookie path must be set on /

how does you use your vbulletin?

http://www.joomla.tld/vbulletin

or else?

Yes, they are the same. I can log on with the same username/password on both Joomla and VB.



Yes, the BBPixel solution overwrites many Joomla and VB core files. Before I uploaded these files, I renamed the originals, so that I could go back to them, in case of an uninstall, which is what I eventually wound up doing.



That's what I did. I added the entry in the configuration.php file and assigned a key to it.



Ahhhhh ok, so when adding the VB connector and setting it up, I am supposed to enter the key used on the vbulletin settings and NOT the one I used on the configuration.php entry? I guess I screwed up there, because I entered the key I used on the configuration file. But my question now is, where in the vbulletin settings do I assign this SOAP key? Because in the Product Manager, it does not give me this option, when I try to edit the VB Soap Product.

UPDATE: Nevermind, I found the new settings tab for the API.



My install is on http://www.mydomain.com/forum

if you enter the right settings
all should work fine

you are running the connector in the same configuration like me

http://www.c4u.to <-- joomla

http://www.c4u.to/forum <-- vbulletin

I DELETED EVERYTHING! Deleted all files from the server and deleted the database. Gonna do a clean install of EVERYTHING, and see what happens.

Anyway, all the files I listed on my initial post, should all work with Joomla 1.0.8? Just want to make sure this is correct before trying to install everything once again.
