Help on vbulletin plugin
Have installed clean 2.12, vbul 2.3.0 and the vbuletin-plugin,

while i tried to add a new link i got:

A fatal error has occured:
Unable to auto-create user: Tom. Reason: Column Passwort cannot be left blank.
Please enable debugging in setup for more details.

So it seems, something is wrong ;-(
Do anyone know about this problem?

Hi,

Can you try the attached plugin and see if it fixes it for you? If so, I'll update it on the site.

Cheers,

Alex

Ain't that the way sessions are handle in 2.12 changed from file stored sessions to MYSQL stored sessions? Is there any impact on how to plugin will work after this update also?

The problem is here: (old and new version of the plugin):
Quote:
sub auth_get_user {
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
# This function returns a user with Links SQL info. You should modify
# this code if you also want access to the vbulletin information.
#
my $args = shift;
GT::Plugins->action ( STOP ); # Make sure we don't run the main code.

my $user_db = $DB->table ('Users');
my $user = $user_db->get ($args->{Username});
if (! $user) {
$user->{Username} = $args->{Username};
$user->{Password} = '';

Till now i dont understand the right direction the code takes from choosen the add.cgi to the add formular, but i see that this part of code is called, it sets Password to "" and tries after that to add a new user, what´s not possible cause the field for password could not be empty.

So i changed the code to:
Quote:
if (! $user) {
# Problem Passwort
my $pass = $IN->cookie ('bbpassword');


$user->{Username} = $args->{Username};
$user->{Password} = $pass;

Hi,

Yesterday I put version 1.5 up which should fix things. Can you try that one and if you still have problems, send an email to support with admin info and I'll take a look.

Cheers,

Alex

Alex,

Same exact problem here. LSQL 2.1.2, vB2.3.0 and PlugIn v1.5.

Also, your solution of redirecting to usercp.php does not redirect back to the calling page as desired. I suggest the following simple and sound solution:

Mod "your" login form as follows:

- ACTION = http://forum.domain.com/member.php (replace with the user's domain for vB)

- username = (user specified username field)

- password = (user specified password field)

- action = "login"

- url = (url you want vB to return to after login)

I've already tested this with a simple HTML form and the logic works fine.

Alex, there seem to be alot of threads with people having problems with this vB integration. It would be wonderful for all if we could get a fix soon. It's become a major roadblock. We have at least 3 more sites (3 more GT licenses :) ) we want to roll out and we can't do that until the prototype is working.

Alex and Gt never seem to express any interest in the VB Plugin, sad for us VB users!

I hope that isn't true. But, if it is, I wish they would pull it and spare people the trouble of finding out that it doesn't work. If there are any other people who require vB integration, please jump in this thread so GT knows that there is a demand.

Speaking of pulling things, I still see a PlugIn listed for BigWhat. According to http://www.revenews.com/archives/00000104.html, BigWhat affiliate program is DEAD.

BUMP.

I believe vB went to MD5 password encryption in a recent version which may be the root of this problem.

FYI - vB v3 Public Beta is now posted and available.

Hi,

If someone can email support-lsql@gossamer-threads.com with access information (include vbulletin and links sql admin area), I can see what's changed in vBulletin and fix this up.

Cheers,

Alex
