With this plugin you can integrate Joomla and vbulletin without making any changes to the core files, as all integration is done using Joomla plugins. This means that you can use the powerful forum software vbulletin together with the powerful Content Management Software (CMS) Joomla and have it all seamlessly integrated. VbLink will do all the work for you and allows the user to automatically be logged onto both software platforms. What are the advantages of the vbLink integration? * Just install the plugin, configure and publish the plugin to get up and running * No changes to the Joomla core, no manual uploading of files, and no synchronization issues between tables. * Vbulletin can be installed on the same server as Joomla or on a remote server * If Joomla and Vbulletin are on the same server, the only config value needed is the path to vbulletin. (installer will auto-config the rest) * Single sign-in and the plugin will create both the Joomla and Vbulletin cookie. * No nasty synchronisation issues, as a single table is used for authentication. * Since no changes are made to the Joomla database, uninstalling is as easy as unpublishing the plugin. What are the limitations of the vbLink intergration? * Since no entry is made in the Joomla user table, other Joomla components can not see the userlist. Components such as virtuemart will therefore not work with this plugin. This is an ALPHA release and intended to get feedback from the Joomla community. Please let us know how this plugin is working for you.
