I have the following issue, after bridging to MyBB I can't get the Home page link on Coppermine to get me back to my forum the other links seems to work just find. I have MyBB installed under my root pashooter.com so my portal comes up as my Home page. It's makes my forum come up pashooters.com/forum.php. Is there a way to edit Home link manually?

Coppermine install: http://pashooters.com/gallery
Forum install: http://pashooters.com/forum.php
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.2
Forum version: SuperDuper BBS app v0.8.15
Test user account: coppermine/copper

Use the custom link feature if you need a link from coppermine to your overall home page (or any other page). The existing link in coppermine always leads to coppermine's index page - that's expected behaviour. Not related to bridging: bridging is related to authentification and user management logic, but not to visual integration of coppermine and the app you bridge with. Nobody saids that there would automatically be a link in coppermine's menu that points to another section of your site just by enabling bridging: you'll have to manually add such a link if you need it - either using the feature I already pointed out or by editing your custom theme.


Next time you post, be more accurate with the information you need to post: you copied and pasted the stuff as per instructions from the sticky thread, but the data you should have entered is totally inacurate, so supporters have to look stuff up. That's not the point why we ask you to provide that information:

Actually, it's cpg1.4.25 (which is fine, as it's currently the most recent stable release).

Doesn't work for me

Thank you for the reply and sorry about the inaccurate info I won't let it happen again. The custom links did work and will come in handy when I run other pages.

What I found was to change the path of the Home link in General settings => URL of your home page.
URL of your home page
This is the URL where a user will be directed when he clicks on the "Home" button in the main menu.

You can use "/" for the root of your domain, "index.php" for your gallery's default starting page, or any other valid URL. By default this is "index.php".

set to http://mydomain.com/forum.
I guess that I was just tiring to hard and over looked it last night.

Thanks for your help.
