Using a phpbb user database

[cynikalsam]

I was wondering how (or if) it would be possible to have Coppermine use my forum's user database? That is, if someone registers for my forum, they'd automatically have membership in the Coppermine gallery. And if they log into the forum, they'd be logged into Coppermine as well.

Is that possible? Thanks

Just to give some more information, i edited the phpbb.inc.php file, but when i tried to run it, i was given a blank page, and nothing seemed to happen.

When i try to run the phpbb.inc.php, i just get a blank page, and i notice no integration at all.

I've looked through all the docs and searched the forums. Can someone point me to a step-by-step guide for phpbb integration?

Thanks.

You need to edit the bridge file, and the include/init.inc.php file.
You then have to place these files on your server.  You do not run the files.

Please read the instuctions on bridging (integrating) in the docs.

Ok i managed to get it working kinda, but now i get the error "The requested URL /forum/cpg_redir.php was not found on this server"

I can still use the gallery if i log into the forum, but if i try to log into or out of the gallery, i get that error. I guess a quick fix would be to get rid of the "login" and "logout" options on the gallery and force people to log in through the forum, but i'd like to do it properly..

OK,

the fantastico version is an old version, and is known to be very buggy.

We would advise you to download the latest version, 1.3.2, from the downloads section (link above) and do the update as per the docs(very easy).

There is a docs folder in the download, but it is also online by clicking the 'documents' link above, as well as a comprehensive faq.

If you have any problems, please come back and ask.

Ooh sorry, i was editing my last reply as you posted that! I got it working except for that one error

Please read the docs, specifically the bits about bridging to phpbb, as there is an extra file you have to create, the one you are missing.
