Possible that I have overseen something - but what is the best procedure to get the vB users into drupal? I'm running a vB forum with ~800 users and can't find the easy way...

As of right now there is no option. I would love it if someone were able to write a tool. Even a simple function that compared the two database tables to see how many needed importing w/ a button that would then do it would be wonderful.

There needs to be a corresponding module for vBulletin for reverse integration to work, and as of right now that is beyond the scope of this module. I welcome any help!

I'm having the same problem. I run vBulletin and I'd love to use Drupal but I cannot integrate them. I get a homepage (and every other page as well) full of this.

Any idea about how to fix this issue? I have no intention to drop vBulletin of course, so I'd be forced to drop Drupal if I couldn't solve this problem. :-(

Stefano, there is always vbdrupal.com which has a full scale integration of Drupal w/ vBulletin. It may be much from some users, but it's certainly more complete than this module. I know I didn't use the database abstraction layer properly when creating this module, and it assumes default database/table names. It's quite likely you don't have the defaults and so it's never connecting to the database properly (hence the broken link resource).

I do not think that vbdrupal.com is an option. It does not make sense to merge several large projects into one mega-gigant. I think the only way to go is to define standard interfaces between different projects. My dream is a project api that allows you to combine different projects like different modules in drupal.

There is a significant need for this drupal-vb interface!
