Bridging on my gallery is totally dead :(

[elwave]

Ok no worries, I'll ask the MyBB guys about that one

So erm.. what do you reckon about the permissions problem? It still doesn't matter what I select, guests can still view everything (even if I select only intermediate images, etc).

I tried updating the whole gallery, and overwriting all it's files with a fresh Coppermine install (except for things like my theme files and the albums directory, etc).

I wonder what's upsetting it >.<

And thanks for all the help man, I owe you loads man

Maybe you have to adjust the ID of your board's guest group in the Coppermine bridge file bridge/mybb.inc.php:

Code Select Expand

$this->guestgroup  = 1;

[elwave]

and yay you were right about the cookies too!

Damn.. you're smart haha

Honestly man like.. if things work and stuff.. I will make a reasonable donation to Coppermine and to MyBB as soon as I get my advertising revenue from SH.net!

I was intending to pay a coder to fix things, but of course if things get working via forums and support threads, I won't need to so can donate the money to these projects instead! ^_^

$this->guestgroup  = 1;

oo err.. lol, bit out of my depth there lol

Why do you think it would be best as something other than 1? I wonder what I should try changing it to o.O


Like I say, this stuff broke since I applied the SEO tweaks, so I always IMAGINE something has changed in the database (mainly because I overwrote all the files I edited with fresh files), but I might be totally wrong there. It's kinda strange.

[Αndré]

Check what's the guest group ID in your board. If it's not the ID "1", then you have to adjust that value to the correct ID.

[elwave]

That line does read correctly (it =1).

Any other thoughts as to what it might be? ._.

Please enable debug mode for all users.

[elwave]

Hm.. I feel a little uneasy giving everyone insight into the workings of the gallery and database and that!

Can I just PM you the details of an admin account or something?

(it's currently enabled for admins)

[elwave]

Just bumping this as you might have missed my last post or something

Enabling the debug really should not put you at risk.

Ok man, if you say so I trust you

I'll do it now.

[elwave]

ok erm.. well it's all done so.. maybe let me know what you think I should look at next? I wonder what is broken ._.

From the debug output:

==========================
USER DATA:
------------------
Array
(
    [user_id] => 0
    [user_name] => Guest
    [groups] => Array
        (
            [0] => 101
        )

    [group_quota] => 0
    [can_rate_pictures] => 1
    [can_send_ecards] => 0
    [can_post_comments] => 0
    [can_upload_pictures] => 1
    [can_create_albums] => 0
    [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1
    [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1
    [access_level] => 2
    [disk_max] => 0
    [disk_min] => 0
    [has_admin_access] => 0
    [group_name] => Guests
    [can_create_public_albums] => 0
    [can_see_all_albums] => 0
    [group_id] => 101
    [allowed_albums] => Array
        (
        )

)

So you have to adjust the settings for the group called "Guests".

[elwave]

But guests can currently view everything, so doesn't that mean they have full access? (1 or 3) despite it being set to 2?

I will set it to the lowest level or maybe just deny all guest access, and we'll find that guests still have full access! lol

[elwave]

There we go! I set it to no access for guests at all, and I still had full access when I went into incognito mode so I was a site guest!

I just changed it to "Thumbnails Only" for guests, so you will find the number has changed (I assume from 2 to 1?) but that the gallery is still totally visible to guests >.<

[Αndré]

The settings from the group manager will be recognized. If they don't get applied can have different causes:
1. Modifications to the Coppermine core code
2. Plugins
3. Theme

I used another theme (curve) and it still doesn't work as expected. Please disable the plugin engine and test again. Please (again) verify that you replaced all Coppermine core files with fresh copies from the official package. Some users reported that their FTP client application has been setup wrongly, so files don't get replaced. So just to make sure download a fresh copy of FileZilla (e.g. the portable edition, so you start with clean settings) and replace all core files again.

[elwave]

Right, all done!

Plugins all disabled (API turned off), all files replaced with a fresh lot and update.php run... and still.. no luck

I did notice though that I had an SEO-friendly URLs plugin running, but it didn't seem to be replacing any URLs anyway and turning it off seemed to make no difference. I don't know if that's a lead or anything.

I used Filezilla and actually replaced all files (except the album directory and anycontent.php) twice lol (two entire queues).

I wonder what it is >.<

[elwave]

quick bump in case this just dropped off the top page!

[Αndré]

Are you ready to send me FTP data to your gallery directory, so I can perform some tests? If so, I'll send you a PM with my contact details.

[elwave]

Sure, anytime man, and thanks so much I completely appreciate all this, I know it's getting time consuming and I will definitely donate some money after because you guys totally deserve it!!!

Send me the details and I'll set up the FTP account and send you the details
