Direction/Tutorial for phpbb & CM intergration

[brenakie]

Hi All,

Just looking for some direction.  I'm running phpbb 2.0.17 and want to install coppermine.

But I need to find a tutorial or step by step instructions on how I can utilize the phpbb user database for single sign-on.

I poked around a bit and did not find anything if it is here can someone please pass along the link.

Thanks again for your help,

Bren

Hi All,

I just need some Clarification on the instructions ( http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg13x/docs/index.htm#integrating_bridge_start ) I know 99.9% of you can do this in your sleep, but I'm not one of the lucky ones.....  :-\\

Note I'm using phpbb 2.0.17

1) phpbb.inc.php is that to go into the main phpbb dir/root directory of the forum or do I need to create a bridge directory or am I looking in the wrong place?

Go to the bridge directory and open the file that corresponds to the bulletin board you use (eg. phpbb.inc.php if you use phpBB) with a text editor.

Thanks for all your help!!!

OK, the bridge directory is that included with coppermine, the phpbb.inc.php file stays exactly where it is.

Code Select Expand

define('PHPBB_WEB_PATH', 'http://www.rideinri.com/forum/');

That is wrong, it must be a path, not an url :

Code Select Expand

define('PHPBB_WEB_PATH', '/forum/');

In the cpg_redir.php, all you need to change is 1 line:

Code Select Expand

$cpg_path='/ririgallery';

Put the rest back as it was.

Nibble/Anyone,

I tried intergrating another site.  THe problem I having is when I'm at copperming and click login I get xfered over to phpbb, i enter my credentials then I get bounced to my 404 page.  Here's the url it's trying to hit:

http://rihunts.com/forum/cpg_redir.php
http://rihunts.com/forum/cpg_redir.php?sid=d96e2fb0e4850214ad9bf17d7e96b4bf
http://rihunts.com/forum/cpg_redir.php?sid=5db41b1eb41639a6a9fa07fbcaa59132


I've double check my code, cookies and it all looks good....

Any ideas?

Bren
