Does anyone know if there are any functional programs that allow joomla and vbulletin integration? Help appreciated!
Hi there, go to Joomla.org and press extensions. There are several components for integrating forums.
The plug-in to integrate vBulletin and Joomla costs $20. http://forum.bbpixel.com/index.php?act=home&view=product
there are some paid integrator for joomla+vbulletin but they dont give good result. best forum for joomla is joomlaboard
Joomlaboard can be installed as a component and you could have a working forum in minutes. What is best for you, depends on what you have in mind (small forum, large forum, addons, hacks, etc) bbpixel integraion is good, actually the best out there regarding vbulletin. But you can have same results if u install smf and then use a bridge to connect it with joomla. As you can see there are a number of solutions availabe. Free and paid
JomlaBoard is one of the best components that Joomla! ever had. But ... it depends on what your needs are? JoomlaBoard is too simple. It doesn't have plugins like vBulletin. Instead, you might try other Joomla components.
