Linking CPG and phpBB photographs

[fh37381]

Dear All,
I'm fairly new to all of these, but now have a fully working phpBB board and CPG system which are linked and working well.  Now my apologies if this question has been answered before (i've done a search but couldn't find anything).

What i would like is to have a single album in CPG (or alternatively a dedicated CPG category contining several albumns which correspond to the different phpBB board names) that displays any pictures uploaded by users in the phpBB board.  I suspect that this would involve altering the phpBB code so it uploaded the details into the CPG database.

Ideally I would like CPG to handle to entire photograph side of the two boards, with phpBB just displaying the CPG thumbnail in topics.

Does anybody know if this can be done, has already be done or how i could do it.  I've a limited knowledge of the php language!

Any help is greatfully apprecaited.

Cheers
Richard

You can bridge the two, if you want them to share the user logins.

You can show gallery images in forum posts by getting the image properties by right-clicking and put it between the image tags. If you provide a link to your gallery, I can demonstrate.

Hi thanks for the response.

Yes I have my gallery's linked and I can apprecaite the method you mention for posting images, but is it possible for an image uploaded using the attachement feature in phpBB to be automatically entered into a specific album within the Coppermine PG so that it is automatically viewable to photo gallery visitors?

Thanks

Richard

The only way to do what you want is to add code to phpbb that would take the attachment, figure out what file type it is, move it over to a directory that Coppermine uses, and then somehow figure out exactly where it needs to go, what album to put it into, etc etc.

Not an easy task, and definitely nothing the dev team will even entertain trying.

Lol! Many thanks! At least it answered the question!
