I want to use the vbulletin forum on a drupal base. There are 2 way's to do this.

1. you install vbdrupal en install vbulletin:
But this is a alterd version of drupal and i need a module that is not compatible with this version.

2. you instal drupal with drupalvb.module and install vbulletin:
This looks like the way i want to do it. But i cant find a way to intergrate vbulletin as a page. Now it just pop's up in a new window.
I want it in the theme, not i a new window.

Can some one help me with this problem. Or should i go with option 1?

(Background info... I created the Drupal vB module.)

Honestly, I hadn't considered having vBulletin appear in a page before. Without extra integration, I really don't think it's possible. What you can do, and maybe this is something for me to look into for the future, is theem vBulletin to look like your site, hook into Drupal using bootstrap.inc, and then display the same header and block information like it was a Drupal site. Saying that is a lot easier than doing it, but it certainly is "doable". If you just want the links to not pop up in new windows, you can just tweak the module to remove target="_blank" on the links.

For right now, though, vbdrupal is the solution for the appearance you're looking for. And I'm not entirely sure if it does that out of the box or not.

(On a side note, were you actually able to get the Drupal vB module working? It was buggy for quite a while and I'm curious to know if you had any problems!)
