Details of vBulletin integration in version 3.5

[osirisjem]

* vBulletin Integration

1. In keeping with the demands of the Vivvo user community, the new version adds a vBulletin® plug-in which enables smooth integration with the popular forum package.

------=-=-=-=-=-=-=------------------

Integrates .... HOW ?

1) A shared login ?
2) Uses vBulletin's USERbase ?
3) Search integration ?

Could someone give some details of what is integrated and what is not ?

[osirisjem]

Could you install vBulletin on http://www.myvivvo.com/ so this could be investigated ?

[osirisjem]

Q: will the comments be integrated ?

[boccio]

The integration is basically "single login", meaning that users are registered on the both systems in the same time, and when they log-in, they're logged to both systems in the same time. Other part is {VB_FORUM_BOX} tag you can use anywhere on Vivvo with the vBulletin latest posts displayed (output similar to "Most Commented", "Most Popular", etc.).

What is NOT part of the integration:
- User Groups
- Comments

Frankly, we're reluctant to do so because they won't let us install vBulletin on demo site without paying separate license for that... which really sucks.

In these situations, I often find that the one login lets the other login "be the main login". Sounds like in this case you really are logged into both.

Q: So you won't install vBulletin ($80/year) on your demo site and you want to charge, every one of your users $159 + yearly fees for your product ?

/speechless.

I suppose it's obvious you should re-think what you've said.

I believe its quite obvious that this is not the money issue I see no reason to set up a vBulletin on demo site merely to show that you're indeed logged in to both systems, right? What other benefit could the demo site have from this? To show that we really do have the plug-in? Opposite to other plug-ins (Banner Management, Media Streaming), this one has nothing special to show...

From the buyer's perspective, it would very nice to see the integration working. It would nice to see what is integrated and what isn't. Your published explanation about the integration is sparse. As vB gets new versions, it would be nice to see the login working with the new version.

vB integration is a smart idea. You should advertise it well by having it on the demo forums.
