vBulletin Integration?

[MonTheHoops]

Would this ever be considered at all?

It would be awesome to have full database integration with vBulletin, so users can log in using there existing login details, even use be able to set their chip totals to align with their credit/points total from the forum. Our users earn credits for posts. threads, browsing and also play in our casino and vBookie using the credits, it would be great if they could earn/lose these in the poker as well...

I could see this as having massive potential for increasing your sales of your full product and you would certainly get plenty of downloads of your lite version too.

Cheers

The API I'm building via the "/control" interface can be used just for this sort of thing. Currently it only includes a few commands for setting chip balances but by the time I'm finished with it you will be able to do just about everything with your server you can currently do manually. Some of the MMORPG gaming sites are already doing that with what's available so far. It won't be specific to vBulletin but you could hire a programmer to integrate those functions directly into your web site or forum.

Sounds like we are going to be able to do some cool things with the API. I am looking forward to experimenting with that.

Is there currently a command list for the control interface, I just get password incorrect at the moment when i try to enter it.

Yes, it's documented in the help file under the Technical Information section.

Hi,

your software looks nice. As I can see in "system settings", I can disable "allow new accounts" and "allow account changes". But is there already an API to create user accounts automatically (after registration in my community) using the "/control" interface?

Not in 2.0x but in the upcoming version 2.10 (currently in beta), there is a whole new API with at least 43 commands, which allows you to do just about everything you can do manually via the server console. See this thread for more on that:

Hi Kent,

if I buy the pro licence now, can I get the extended API for beta testing? Does this already works with the current version? When will version 2.10 be released?

Yes, see my email.

The old "/control" commands will be deprecated soon.

When will version 2.10 be released?

Don't know yet. I still have several features left to add on my to-do list.
