View Full Version : Post from outside forums?

I am updating my portal to use Vivvo CMS with my vBulletin forums. The forums are currently using vB 3.6.8.

Vivvo has a nifty integration in that it automatically logs in/out users. It also automatically creates threads if a user wants to comment on an article. Comments are actually made by sending the user to the forum, and then reading the comments back to Vivvo.

This is a bit inelegant IMHO. It would be much niftier to have a comment form in Vivvo which updates the thread, then reads back the list of comments (either via a page reload or Ajax, doesn't matter).

The thing is that I have not found any examples of pushing posts from "outside" the forums into existing threads. If anyone can point me in the right direction here I'd be very grateful. I figure I can use the data manager to achieve this, but since I'm not a PHP developer I probably need to get someone to do this for me. But at least I'd like to see how I could implement something like this. (I am a ColdFusion developer so I know my way around code).

Anyone? :)

Never mind, I have found a perfect solution for doing this. Vivvo turned out to be quite configurable.

I have posted my solution here if someone is considering Vivvo as a CMS to use with vB. Note Vivvo is not a "full-blown" CMS, but mostly geared towards news/article publishing. It lacks some vital CMS features so I'll be building apps for a while still. :)
