How do you create a bridge for an unsupported CMS/BB?

[melissa]

Hi,

I would like to know how to get started in creating a bridge. The CMS I have in mind is Website Baker. I have had a look at the existing bridges. This did not particularly help!

I am also not exactly sure what the bridge accomplishes. Does it integrate the user tables in the database? Or is there more to it? Does it also make it easier to embed Coppermine into the CMS/BB?

I would love to have more information.

There is no guide to making bridge files, all you can do is study the existing code. The point of a bridge file is to read the information from whatever software you are bridging with when requested instead of Coppermine's own user information.
