Much better vb integration, but what else does it do?

[Sauk]

I thought I read that comments will be posted in the forum. When adding a new article is it supposed to post that article into the forum? If so it isn't doing it for me.

I put down the id of it but when adding articles it doesn't seem to be working at all.

Can you go into details what the integration is like right now in beta 2?

Thanks

How come articles don't show up in the forum that you assign to it during setup?

Also how come latest forum posts don't show up on the website anymore?

Actually, the bot is creating a thread once the first user clicks on "Post your comment". Not before.

Latest posts can show up, but "Most Commented" cannot.

Ok I have posted a comment on a article 2 times and neither time it has created a post.

2nd how can I get latest posts to show up on the website?

Thanks

Submit this on bug tracker, or contact me via PM with access to this testing ground so we can check.

[Sauk]

PM has been sent and bug tracker has been posted

There are a few things you should do in order to activate VB plug-in. Here is the procedure how to activate Vb Login module on your system.

You should enter the full URL address of your website, http://www.yoursite.com/ ('http://' prefix and slash are mandatory).
This plug-in requires adding code to your template files. After you enter the URL, make some required changes:

open /xhtml/article/default.tpl file and instead of this code line:
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/comments.tpl" /> (around line 47)
place the following:
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/vb_comments.tpl" />

open /xhtml/archive/default.tpl file and instead of this code line:
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/login.tpl" /> (around line 44)
place the following:
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/vb_login.tpl" />

open /xhtml/category/default.tpl file and instead of this code line:
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/login.tpl" /> (around line 46)
place the following:
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/vb_login.tpl" />

open /xhtml/frame/default.tpl file and instead of this code line:
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/login.tpl" /> (around line 28)
place the following:
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/vb_login.tpl" />

open /xhtml/search_results/default.tpl file and instead of this code line:
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/login.tpl" /> (around line 43)
place the following:
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/vb_login.tpl" />

open /xhtml/tag/default.tpl file and instead of this code line:
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/login.tpl" /> (around line 43)
place the following:
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/vb_login.tpl" />

open the file /xhtml/homepage/default.tpl and instead of this code line:
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/login.tpl" /> (around line 120)
place the following:
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/vb_login.tpl" />

Ok that fixed the log in issues from the website. Thanks....

Now we just need to work on the comment stuff showing up on the forum...and the latest posts on the website

Thanks again

Okay...that explains a bit more, but what of all the different user groups that need to be setup in the admin plugin section? Administrators is self-explanatory, but editors, etc. etc. Aren't readily apparent. Also, it would be nice if we could create threads into different forum ID's based on their category in Vivvo. We'd rather not just pump everything over into a single forum/subforum in VB. Seems that it will make things look quite messy.

[Big Island]

Okay...have set this up, but it doesn't seem to be writing comments to the forums. In the vb plugin setup, does forum id mean the number or the name of the forum that we wish to create threads in???

[Big Island]

Can anyone please help or at least let us know if this plugin isn't functioning correctly?

[Alex]

Forum ID is the number of actual forum.

[Big Island]

Forum ID is the number of actual forum.

Ok, then it's definitely not working...we put the number of the forum in and it's not creating the threads in the specified forum.

I am having the same problem?

Has this issue been fixed? I asked because it has been over a month since the last post and it looks like no one cares

[boccio]

As far as I know, this is not a known bug anymore, if you're experiencing problems with vB plug-in, please submit a support ticket.

[donwe123]

It is not fixed. I followed instructions given on http://www.vivvo.net/doc/v4/plugin_manual/vBulletin_integration.php. Replacing <vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/comments.tpl" /> (around line 47)

with the following:

<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/vb_comments.tpl" /> did not work.

I also follwoed Alex's advise given 09-21-2007, 04:54 PM on this thread and it also does not work.

I should be more specific - I think user login and group permission works but comments were no where to be found for posting when vb_comments.tpl was used in.

I know you said to open a support ticket but I think you guys have the answer already and it will benefit users and lookers AND support load in the future (every bit adds up) if answered here. Appreciate the time and a very promising script.

Following up on my last post and for those who are interested, I wrote to support and they were very helpful in finding the answer to my question.

They suggested "After you had edited line 47 in default.tpl file, did you disable Vivvo comments from Administration - Preferences - Layouts and Modules by setting 'Enable Vivvo comments' option to No". I did that and comment works. However, it just adds the "content" (not comment) to a thread in vB that was setup during vB integration and no options to do anything else. Vivvo basically handed any comments/thread off to vB in that respect.

All in all, I think it's ok to just leave comments to Vivvo and not involve vB. So it would be nice to show comments available/visible to users after vB integration, IMNSHO since I don't know much :)

Thanks support team for the multiple responses to clarify.
