phpBB2 with Coppermine: No Sync

[MrBlue]

Good evening

Here is my Problem:

I have install Coppermine with bridge to phpBB2.

Some Infos:

Link to Gallery: http://www.fotobude.net
Link to Forum: http://www.fotobude.net/phpBB2

cpg_redir.php:

Code Select Expand

<?php
if (!$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {
  $cpg_host=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'];
} else {
  $cpg_host=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
}
$cpg_path='/';
header("Location: http://".$cpg_host.$cpg_path);
exit;
?>

The Rediriction works fine, so i think there is no  problem.

When i log in as Admin and go to the Group-Admin in Gallery there happen nothing. No Users/Groups from phpBB works in Gallery. No Users/Groups from Gallery works in phpBB.

I become no error message. So I don't know what the Problem is.

I have disable the Forum integration, because the Users from Gallery can't login then.

I hope you understand my problem (My english isn't so good )

post your bridge file changes, with the password replaced with asterisks.

Here my bridge file:

hm, there is little we can do unless you enable bridging to let us see what actually goes wrong.

[MrBlue]

A friend told me that the bridge synchronizes only the groups (and them only in one way) and not the user. 

How can I import existing user in phpbb?

[ergo]

u dont import users, the data is dinamically taken form the phpbb tables and user authorization, only groups are imported

[MrBlue]

Yes, but the users in coppermine can't log in after bridging. I need a method to import the coppermine users into phpbb

[Joachim Müller]

Well, the whole point of bridging is that the coppermine users are no longer being taken into account when turning bridging on. Your bbs users are then taken into account. That's the way the bridge file works. However, I think there has been a mod that wwill convert users from coppermine to phpbb, never looked into it though.

[MrBlue]

Okey...

i have import my coppermine users manual. But it seems to me, that something goes wrong.

Can you look at page again? http://www.fotobude.net  || http://www.fotobude.net/phpBB2/

User: MrOrange || Pass: test12345

User can register, and user can login!
But when I edit the groupnames over the coppermine admin-interface from english to german..next time I login, they are in english...the changes are not taken over!
And how can i put users in special groups (make in coppermine), who have more upload-space for example? Can't find anything about this in board/Documentation

[Nibbler]

You admin the group names and create new groups via your forum.

[MrBlue]

Yes, but the 4 coppermine standart groups (members, Banned, Guest, Admin) are not listen in the admin-panel of phpBB.

How can i rename them? When I edit them in coppermine, the changes are not taken over.

[Joachim Müller]

of course they don't show up in phpbb, as phpbb doesn't "know" about coppermine groups. That's why there's a definition in the bridge file that "tells" coppermine what phpbb groups equal the built-in coppermine groups:

Code Select Expand

// Group definitions
define('PHPBB_ADMIN_GROUP', 1);
define('PHPBB_MEMBERS_GROUP', 2);
define('PHPBB_GUEST_GROUP', 3);
define('PHPBB_BANNED_GROUP', 4);

[MrBlue]

OK, thank you very much!

I think it work now

One problem left (but I think this problem havn't to do with bridging):

The disk quota i set per group does not work. The users can upload more than the quota set to. Where is the problem?

[Joachim Müller]

one question per thread please, you agreed to respect this policy when signing up! The quota is being taken into account for uploads to the user galleries - it's not being taken into account for uploads to public albums: maybe that's what is confusing you.
