IPB2 and CPG 1.3.2 Bridge Update

[Laibeus Lord]

If your are going to bridge IPB2 and CPG 1.3.2, you will most likely encounter an error with your IPB user's password.

To fix it just follow the steps below:

1)  Open your IPB Bridge file
2)  Look for this line:

Code Select Expand


$sql = "SELECT id as user_id, name as user_name, mgroup " . "FROM " . $UDB_DB_NAME_PREFIX . IB_TABLE_PREFIX . IB_USER_TABLE . " " . "WHERE id='$cookie_uid' AND password='$cookie_pass'";


3)  Replace it with this new line:

Code Select Expand


$sql = "SELECT id as user_id, name as user_name, mgroup " . "FROM " . $UDB_DB_NAME_PREFIX . IB_TABLE_PREFIX . IB_USER_TABLE . " " . "WHERE id='$cookie_uid' AND member_login_key='$cookie_pass'";


4)  Upload your file back.

What exactly has changed?
In the non-IPB2 bridge file, it is looking for the column "password" when CPG checks IPB's user table.
We just changed it to "member_login_key" since this is the new column name for the IPB's user passwords.

* Note:  This is for IPB2 only.  Pre-IPB2, the original IPB bridge file should work.
** Once your users log-in, they will be redirected to IPB's log-in page.  After a successful log-in, they will stay at IPB.  They must then click or head to your gallery page.  If you want them to be redirected back to your gallery after logging-in, you need to add a piece of code at IPB's login.php.  On that part, you should ask at IPB's or at Invisionize.com for help.  That is completely out of CPG's area.

Hope that helps.
Enjoy!
