Hi cellophane!

Thanks for your post. :)

Yes, goForum supports vBulletin. In fact, vBulletin was the very first forum that goForum was designed for. :)

Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Donna

Hi Cellophane,

I don't believe it has been tested with version 2.3.0. As Donna mentioned, vBulletin was the first forum which goforum supported, but there have been numerous upgrades to vBulletin since then. Although I haven't heard of it being incompatible with any of the new versions, I really can't say for sure unless you try it yourself.

> What about the support vB ? Features ?

I'm not quite sure what you mean... Take a look at the readme.txt file for a discussion of the scripts features.

I know that it's giving me a few problems with version 2.3.2, which is the latest version.

Here's what I've found it's doing:

Returned thread links in goforum.dat are coming back with the right thread ID's, just it's adding amp; as you can see below:

Re: [Kik] Vbulletin 2.3.0 Support [In reply to] Can't Post
Hey Kik,

I took a look at the code, and this seems a little odd. All our script does in this case is extract the location of the forum post from the header information produced by the forum, so it should just return the full URL.

Would it be possible to fill in a support request, so I could take a look at this? Thanks, Kik.

Re: [Benjamin] Vbulletin 2.3.0 Support [In reply to] Can't Post
It's not working for me (Vbulletin 2.3.0). I re-published all my articles and click on the "discuss this article" link but I got a HTTP 404 error.


Here is my configuration settings:

Code
   
  
goforum.config.cgi:   
  
# Instructions: set forum_type to the name of the forum you are using, then scroll down the page   
#               and set that forum's values.    
forum_type   = 'vbulletin' # options: dcforum, discus, gforum, ikonboard, invision, phpbb, ubbclassic5, ubbthreads, vbulletin, yabbse   
configured   = 1                  # set this to 1 to make the program work    
artman_128up = 1                  # Article Manager version. 0 = 1.27 or earlier, 1 = 1.28 or later   
  
[vbulletin]   
forum_url    = 'http://www.mysite.com/forum/'  # forum script directory   
forum_login  = 0            # login required? 1 = yes, 0 = no    
forum_user   = ''           # forum user with post access   
forum_pass   = ''           # password for user   
forum_num    = 1            # post to this forum number by default


Uploaded the following files to /articles/exec/
artman-db-def.cgi - set permissions to executable (755 on unix)
artman-db.cgi - set permissions to executable (755 on unix)
goforum.cgi - set permissions to executable (755 on unix)
goforum.config.cgi - set permissions to readable (644 on unix)

with this path in default.html (index template): - [ <a href="articles/exec/goforum.cgi?id=$art_num$&cat=$cat_num$">Discuss this story</a> ]
I run http://www.mysite.com/publish/articles/exec/goforum.cgi?id=34&cat but I got an 404 error.

I have translated my forum. I looked through the script member.php for Thank you for loggin or Error logging in to forum but I don't find it.

Re: [cellophane] Vbulletin 2.3.0 Support [In reply to] Can't Post
Hi Cellophane,

The problem may well be that you're not specifying a forum username. Try this:

- Create a new forum user, and jot down the username and password.
- Enter them into your goforum.config.dat file as the forum_user and forum_pass values, and set forum_login to 1.

I've personally never encountered a situation when you can just log in without specifying the forum login info.

If that works, do get back to me and I'll make a note of it in the next release of goforum. (Hmmm... perhaps deprecating forum_login might be in order).

Why a new forum user ?

You mean goforum.config.cgi ?

I try it.

Goforum needs (in most cases, at least) a forum account to be able to create posts in a forum. So, what you have to do is type in the forum account information (username & password) into the goforum.config.cgi file to allow the script to work properly.

I tested it with my own username and password and set forum_login to 1. It's not working.

Can you check my path (exec...) ? May be that's the problem ?

Hi Ben,

I bougth AM three week ago. You have fixed my goforum two weeks ago but it's not working anymore. I don't know why. I didn't change nothing. I am using the same version 1.31. The templates are the same. It worked fine a week ago.

Can you check my setup ? I email you my FTP setup.

Hi cellophane!

Just to verify what you said in email -- everything is fixed up now? :)

Let me know if you're still having trouble!

Yes. Everything is fixed. Goforum + Vbulletin 2.3.0 are working.
