Great script!! It's a pity noone gives Integration-Guidance

[narcotic]

Just went over your side and found coppermine...
tried it and decided to use it in future, fantastic gallery!
Compliments!

Meanwhile i read, there's a way to integrate coppermine...
Actually i'm using WoltLabBurningBoard, but I'd change to any other board in case someone could tell me how to do it...

In Fact, i installed phpbb2 on my server for test, had a lot of hours investigation on different websites(including this one) but any information I found was quite useless...
E.G. i found a documentation to integrate the script with my bulletin board which proposed making changes in the include/init.inc.php and some file in the bridge directory...
But I found neither the bridge- dir nor the lines in the file...
Discovering your forum I found several Threads talking about this topic, but none gave a real guide...
Therefore:
"Can anyone give a guide of how to integrate coppermine 1.1.0 into PhpBB2 or WoltlabBurningBoard?"
I just want my visitors not to have to register twice!!!
Thank You all for help!!!

You can't integrate a bbs into 1.1.0, you need to download 1.1.1 (hence the name of this board).  You can find the download in the downloads section of this site, and all the instructions you'll need are in the readme.html file.

If you have any questions after you install 1.1.1 (read the upgrade instructions) come back and post them.

You should read all the posts in this forum before you decide on phpbb2.  Some forums work better with cpg than others.  Bear in mind that bbs integration is in development so there may be problems getting it to work.

Thanks, i'll have a try and tell you about my experiences...

the yabbse bridge has imho the most mature bbs support, so if you're free to decide on any bbs, I'd go for YaBB SE. There has also been a discussion on the integration of WoltlabBurningBoard in the old board - see http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/oldboard/viewtopic.php?t=1852 for reference...

ok, so far for my experiences:
i installed invisionboard 1.2 which is working perfectly (you can see it at http://www.tattobeck.de)...
tried to integrate coppermine which accepted tehe users database of IPB but I can't login there... when trying to login from coppermine I am carried to the login page of IPB to get then, after i've logged in to the board. but i wanted to get to the galery...
Some pics are missing, too...
Tried the woltlab-integration, but found out, it's for WBB2, whereas i'm running the free 1.2 version...
In fact (if possible) I'd like to use IPB, because IPB and Coppermine can use the Hardwired Skin... (didn't find equal at YaBB).
actually  the threads on the integration of Coppermine into Invisionbard were not quite understandable to me, because I'm quite young blood to the topic of programming with PHP... Perhaps there's anyone who can give an easy-to-understand-explanation to me...
Tell me where I made mistakes...
You can have a look at my tests on   //www.tattobeck.de where you can register a new nick. in fact, both, the forum and the album shall once work in a frame, whereas the user shall be able to switch in between... IPB is working, therefore you can add some help there, too...
Thank you all!!!

If you integrate coppermine into ipb, all login/logout/member tasks are handled by the invision board. But there's one problem with the integration. The rediraction after login doesn't work, so the user stays at the forum index page after logging in.
I'll see if i can find a workaround for this, but  until it works it would be easier either to use the redirect foru invisionboard offers to siplay a link back to your gallery, or include a link to the gallery in the forum theme.

This problem is not so important, when you put a portal like mambo around your site.

@Norbert: there have been requests on integrating coppermine with mambo - you seem to have managed this. Would you care to share your code?

[German only, sorry]Hallo Norbert, tolle Galerie (inhaltlich die Beste, die ich seit langem gesehen habe, obwohl mir die "klassische" Navigation fehlt). Wäre toll, wenn Du etwas Code preisgeben würdest - vgl. die postnuke-Integration (die auch nur von casNuy betreut wird und ganz gut "zu laufen" scheint).[/German]

Thanks a lot, but can you tell me, which way this would be easily done?
Again, I just wanna know how I can use IPB with coppermine in a way it works...
I don´t know how to program php-code, actually i am able to paste code you give me into some files...
Tell me, what i've got to do, that would be really helpful...
If you say, it works if i use a portal, then tell me which one is easy to use and fits best... (maybe some brief steps...)

Thanks to all of you..

That is no problem. But I have not realy integrated CP with Mambo. Users are managed by Invision Board and Mambo is only used as portal.

Both (CP and InvisionBoard) are integrated very easy but working with iframes as a component in Mambo.

I have tested some CSMs with integrated forum and galleries. No one has this solved realy good. Therefore I have (for me) chosen the best combination.

http://www.mamboserver.com/ as portal without users
http://www.invisionpower.com/ as forum with CP integrated users
and coppermine as gallery

directory structure:

- Base site with index and ssi
    - Mambo

what is ssi? how can i use iframes?
how can you use mambo without users? which database do you use for the users? the invision-one? does your concept work with postnuke too?
are IPB and coppermine useable as modules for postnuke?
You've got some runtime-errors on your site, norbert? did you know?

You find ssi here: http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/download.php show CPG-thumb. This is nice to show some CP content (thumbs and statistics)  at any page of your site.

The use of iframe with mambo is explaned some messages before in this forum.

Mambo without users is easy posible with deactivating register and login. Then you are the only one as adminitstrator.

Users for coppermine are magaged by CP-invision-integration.
Perhaps this concept works with postnuke and iframes.

I have no runtime errors. Please explane.
But sometimes there are problems with MySQL at the server of my provider.

Now I have deactivated this invision board integration. My users don't need a forum but pictures. :-)

Can you have it so that people already registered with Coppermine, no longer need to register with the Mambo server since as it stands now I have over 140 users in the Coppermine, and I would like to use Mambo at the front end GUI?

I use it only as a kind of container. There no users at Mambo.

Hi,
I just saw a site that has coppermine gallery intergrated with Mambo Open Server (MOS). The site is http://mambohut.com , The gallery link is http://www.mambohut.com/component/option,com_wrapper/wrap,gallery/Itemid,52/ . Oh well... looking again at the url I can see that they used the mambo wrapper component.
