Has anyone successfully integrated (embedded) vbulletin into a rails app? I would be curious to see if/how this worked. RForum still seems quite beta so I am looking for something a little more tried and true. thanks adam

i completely agree. Vbulletin and the likes have been out for quite a long time, and have been thru a lot of stress testing. I see no reason to re-invent the wheel here. Any integration help would be greatly appreciated. adam On 14 Feb 2006 19:19:08 -0000, Mikkel Bruun <devlists-rubyonrails@devlists.com> wrote:> >> I have not done any work with vbulletin, but have built in support > >>for phpBB > >> in my Rails app. This isn''t "full" support (ie, not all operations are > >> supported, in fact not even all tables are mapped), but you can do things > >> such as creating new threads, query a given users last post, etc. > >>If there > >> is interest (from you, or someone else who sees this), I will share what > >> I''ve done.

My original post to the wiki was from some time ago, so I went ahead and added some additional stuff at the bottom. If you need any clarification, don''t hesistate to ask. Like I said, I''ve been using this in production for quite some time without any problems. As far as vBulletin integration is concerned, I''ve never actually administered a vbulletin board before, but I would take a wild guess that the complexity regarding Rails integration to be about the same. Basically, all you need to understand to get it working is: 1) Figure out how they do sessions (ie, where is the informatoin stored on the DB, what are the names of the cookies) 2) Create your user model to incoroporate what you''ve learned above 3) Understand what tables and fields are modified when someone creates a topic, and mimic this behaviour. I''ve found integration with my phpBB board useful for things such as News that gets posted to the main website which is *also* automatically posted to the forums to create a place for discussion, etc. (adventuresdawn.com) Hope that helps.
