I found part of the problem I think. Turns out the import did work - for everyone except me (userid: 1). When I query the pligg_users table everyone else is there, just not me. It makes me sad.

[AyeCapn]

could it be because the "god" account is already using user id 1 in pligg?

It is possible - if it is a fresh install, best thing to do would be to wipe the pligg user table clean, and re-import, then change user 1 (you) to god status manually.

weird.... I tried that, but it still didn't bring my account over...

even setting the import range to 1 and 1 didn't solve it. No error messages, just no account shows up in the pligg_users table.

[AyeCapn]

tried manually inserting my account in the pligg tables then re-running the import. None of the vB data came over to fill in the blanks like password hash and salt.

[AyeCapn]

Manually setting the Pligg password to match my vB password seems to let me login. Could also be since I inserted my vB userid manually as well it is making the cookie functional.

I'll keep playing with it to see if it is really working the way you intended or if I just tricked it. That import thing is gonna bug me though...

You might want to try replacing the INSERT query in the user import file with an equivalent UPDATE query. It won't fill in any blanks with INSERT, but should with UPDATE. I'm not really sure why it isn't populating the pligg user table correctly when starting off with it completely blank. Sorry, I can't really test it at this point.

hi simon. Thanks for the note. For the time being i am comfortable with how it is working.

Another issue is that my users are finding is that they can't login directly to the Pligg page. It gives them errors. That being said, if they login to my vB site and then navigate to Pligg, the cookie works great.

You'll need to change the login templates to use the forum login system:

<div class="box" id="loginbox">
<h1><span class="expand"><a id="explogin" class="expand-up"></a></span><a class="htitle">Quick Login</a></h1>
<form action="http://www.yourforumdomain.com/login.php?do=login" method="post" class="login" id="loginform">
<input type="text" name="vb_login_username" class="text" value="" class="text" value="{$login_username}" />
<input type="password" name="vb_login_password" class="text" />
<input type="hidden" name="cookieuser" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />        
<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
<p class="left"><input type="submit" value="{#PLIGG_Visual_Login_LoginButton#}" class="submit" style="width:75px" /></p>
<br clear="all" />
</form>
</div>
