Re: com_connector CORE download and informations
will this be based on the SOAP framework or the SQL framework? Maybe I should just hold off until this is released, rather than getting frustrated with installing all this other...?

Re: com_connector CORE download and informations
Would you recommend we not install the connector with Joomla 1.0.8 then? Or is the current version (not the new one you were about to release) working with Joomla 1.0.8? Thx!

Re: com_connector CORE download and informations
I was able to upgrade to php5, but because the host uses cpanel, they said it doesn't come with the SOAP extension. Will the vbulletin_sql version work with php5 not using soap but sql?

Re: com_connector CORE download and informations
What would be great is a new thread, once this new connector is released, that will show all available modules and addons along with a nice STEP BY STEP tutorial on how to install everything. It's getting out of control, to have to look all over the forums, searching for bits pf pieces on how to put this connector together.

Re: com_connector CORE download and informations
okay new version is released
it should work with joomla 1.0.8
for older versions use attached patch for joomla.php
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg168143
the patch works with all version until 1.0.8
plz. dont ask why the common login does not work if you login on vbulletin / other application side
the com_connector is ONLY an addon for Joomla
with this component you can connect joomla with other applications ( joomla -> application )
not other application with joomla ( application -> joomla )
because joomla 1.0.8 has some changes in the login handling, no one old vbulletin-modules ( not modules for com_connector) will work with this new version
i must change this, as next will be the vbulletin_soap module released i have allready running it on my side and i must make some test until it will be released
if it is done i will change the vbulletin_sql module
again shortly for the version 1.0.8
joomla->phpbb/vbulletin/wbblite ... = will work without any problems
vbulletin->joomla = common login does not work ( at the moment, will be fixed in the next module release)

Re: com_connector CORE download and informations
Hi leonsio,
It seem that your com connector.zip file is lacked of vbulletin.class.php
I got the following errors when click NEW after installing the component to joomla 1.0.8
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: initsessionadmin() in D:\server\www\joomla\administrator\index2.php on line 38

Re: com_connector CORE download and informations
Hi Leonsio,
I want to give your connector a try, now that it is Joomla 1.0.8 compatible, but I am having a problem with some of the settings. Take a look at the attached image.
What do I have to put on these input boxes?
I figure that for Cookie Prefix, I need to use bb, since that is what my vb install uses. But what goes into the SOAP Server URL and Key to access SOAP Server?
Thanks for any help.

Re: com_connector CORE download and informations
I installed the com_connector and then published it. I than installed the vbulletin_sql module as well. But I don't seen the "Connector Item" listed when looking to add a new menu item.after you have added a data, you can create a menu link
go to Menu config, create on New and select "Connector Item"
in next dialog select you application and click to save
I think I installed it correctly too, but as I can't add the menu item, I'm not quite certain. I tried to log into joomla, and then visit my vbulletin forums, but it didn't show me logged in.

Re: com_connector CORE download and informations
Leonsio: Thanks for this, now my users are being added into Joomla again when they login to VBulletin.
Only bug I can see is in the Login module in Joomla, it says, Hi, 0 instead of Hi, , but the Who's Online module seems to work fine, and shows me as logged in. Weird. Other than that, it looks and works great for me! Thanks!
