For example, user Engine registers at your forum (vBulletin) or DLE (DataLife Engine) and logs in. Engine then clicks on your DLE page or vBulletin Page.Registered User.

Module bridge detection on DLE/vBulletin

- lostpassword - profile - private message - login - register - statistic...more

If you change a users group from vbulletin, it will automatically change in DLE.

Tested: DLE 8.3 and 8.5 - vBulletin 4.0.2 and 4.0.3

It should work with any 8.x version of DLE and any 4.0.x version of vBulletin, though this has not been tested. It definitely does not work with vBulletin 3.7.

Please don't ask if it works for any BETA versions of Vbulletin. I do not know?

If you are getting path errors, or errors saying that config.php cannot be found, this is an error with your path. Check your relative path to the forum or you can also define it in /engine/data/dle_vb_conf.php.
