Integration with vBulletin 3.5 problems

[Charles Scott]

I went to the thread, http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg13x/docs/index.htm#integrating for instructions on how to integrate Coppermine with vBulletin 3.5. I did not have any problems with it. However, when I login to my forums and then goto the Gallery, I am given the option to login again. When I press the "login" link, it just takes me back to my forum homepage.

BTW, my gallery is at http://www.dungeonkeepersdomain.com/Gallery/ and my forums at at http://www.dungeonkeepersdomain.com/vbb350/

Ideas?

OK? Plain simple english would have been nice, but your point is taken.

The test account password is "testaccount"

You also need to post what you have changed in the bridge file. It looks as though you havent set this bit correctly:

Code Select Expand


define('VB_COOKIE_PREFIX', '');

My /Gallery/includes/init.inc.php file (line 26) looks like this.

define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'vbulletin30');

My /Gallery/bridge/vbulletin30.inc.php file has been edited

As far as I can tell, it is properly done.

How about posting what you have changed so I can tell you if it is properly done or not ?

This is the part of the vbulletin bridge file I edited.

//NOTE : Your vBulletin license number is provided at the top of every php file in your vBulletin installation!
define('VB_CUST_NO', 'My Licence Number is Here'); // Your vBulletin license number (NOT your customer number)
define('VB_DB_NAME', 'My Database Name is Here'); // The name of the database used by the board
define('VB_BD_HOST', 'localhost'); // The name of the database server
define('VB_DB_USERNAME', 'My Database Username is Here'); // The username to use to connect to the database
define('VB_DB_PASSWORD', 'My Database Password is Here'); // The password to use to connect to the database

// The web path to your vBulletin Board directory
// In this example http://yoursite_name.com/vbulletin3/
define('VB_WEB_PATH', '/vbb350/');

Since I saw the line that says

// Nothing to edit below this line

I did not further editing.

Well, it seems if I do not use the vbulletin 3.0 line and instead use the following,it works.

define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'vbulletin3gamma')

Now, is there any way to use the styles I use in my vbulletin 3.5?

Start your own thread, posting the information requested in the sticky thread.

LOL. it doesn't work for me when I use 'vbulletin3gamma'
But it does work for me when I use 'vbulletin30'
Actually, you just have to find a way to let your users know that they have to register and login in Vbulletin page first, and then they will be able to login to Coppermine gallery. Very simple, i use Vbportal as my CMS index, on that page I have already force users to register and login with Vb3.5 already, so that's why they will have no problem login in Coppermine when they click on the Gallery link that I created to link to Coppermine Gallery.
About logout has problem, I have it too, but what you expect? Stay with it man. lol, don't spoile your users too much....I guesss there would be no problem to let them "An error occurred while attempting to log you out. Click here to log out" one more time right?
Anway, this is still a great Gallery, you guys can't blame on Coppermine supports because of Vbulletin intergration, the one u guys should blame is Vbulletin. They are too cheap or whatever you can call just to give Coppermine team a coppy of Vbulletin license just to develope the intergration functions.
Peace out guys, telling ya, great Gallery and I am still happy with the Vbulletin 3.5 intergration rite now, it's just good enough.

just one posting above yours, Nibbler told another user who tried to hijack this thread to start a thread of his own. Yet you chose to reply to it, doing a hijacking attempt yourself instead of doing as suggested and starting another thread? Come one
Everyone except Charles Scott and people who are ready to give answer instead of posting their own questions should stay out of this thread - I'll delete all subsequent postings of thread hijackers on this thread.

Side note: vbulletin 3.0 gamma does not equal vbulletin 3.5.something, that's probably the reason why you can't use it. I recommend using cpg1.4.x (current stable release cpg1.4.3) anyway.
It's tricky for coppermine devs to support new versions of vb, as it's commercial software - we can't get a copy for free to test them with coppermine, so we ask for your patience and contributions.
