Before You Install

The vBulletin and Movable Type integration assumes that you already have a working Movable Type installation, and an existing vBulletin installation.

It certainly is possible that this integration point will work with earlier versions of these software platforms, but the only testing has been done with

vBulletin version 3.6.5
Movable Type 3.3

Perl Modules:

Data::Dumper
HTTP::Cookies
WWW::Mechanize

Perl module installation is easy

perl -mcpan -e shell
>install Data::Dumper
>install HTTP::Cookies
>install WWW::Mechanize

[edit]

Not Recommended

This integration is not recommended for Movable Type implementations that use the dynamic publishing capabilities of Movable Type. The integration requires several http requests to garner information for building Movable Type pages, and currently there is no caching system in place. In a dynamic environment, this would essentially force your server to make and interpret several http requests prior to returning a page and this inherently means that performance would be greatly degraded.
