Registered Users Can't upload after Bridging...

[CaptainDon]

I have the following issue when trying to bridge coppermine and phpbb 3.0.9:

My Registered Users on my forum cannot upload photos. I had to change the Admin Group Id from (5) to (1617) in "bridge/phpbb3.inc.php"

From the Debug mode I am thinking the problem is coppermine thinks my "Registered group" ID is (1714) but it is infact (1614) but I cannot find where to change this...

Admin can Upload Photos... My Bridge app might be from an old coppermine version and I didn't install it if it doesn't come with phpbb 3.0.9 and I don't know where to get an updated version...

Coppermine install: http://www.michiganoutdoorsman.com/MOPhoto

Coppermine version: 5.2.17

Afaik Coppermine automatically adds +100 to the group IDs for its internal use, so that should be correct. Have you assigned upload privileges to the "Registered" group in Coppermine's group manager? If so, try to create a new user, assign him only to that "Registered" group and try again.

[CaptainDon]

Yes I've Done that... I even added a new group to the coppermine Groups called " Registered users" because that's how the group name is in the phpbb Forums...

How do I find which bridge app I have in my phpbb 3.0.9 or is that something that comes with the phpbb3 and thus already the most up to date?

Also I still have an old photo album at http://www.michiganoutdoorsman.com/photo that is still up and running and Bridged can that be causing an issue? If so I cannot access admin on that one because I did not create it and didn't ever know the password and the person that helped me make that gallery has disappeared thus why I am going at this new gallery myself so I know how it works and can fix and update it...

[Αndré]

The group name is irrelevant, as Coppermine just uses the group IDs. Also it doesn't matter if you have a second gallery bridged, as the bridging is done 100% within Coppermine, so the board isn't aware of that nor is Coppermine aware if another gallery is bridged to the board.


I successfully uploaded a picture to your gallery: http://www.michiganoutdoorsman.com/MOPhoto/displayimage.php?pid=7 - so everything works as expected imo?!

[CaptainDon]

yes and the reason you were able to do this is because I was researching and found this and was in the process of changing album properties....

THIS NEEDS TO BE MORE CLEAR IN THE DOCUMENTATION ABOUT BRIDGING...DROVE ME NUTS FOR HOURS!!!!

Hi Joanne,

you just need to change the album properties.  Login in admin mode, then click on the 'properties' button, next to the album thumbnail.  Change 'visitors can upload pictures' to YES.
This only allows others who are in a group with permission to upload, not all visitors.

[Αndré]

Instead of shouting you should read the documentation more thoroughly. If you want to allow "visitors" (which in this aspect are all people, which aren't in the admin group) to upload pictures to already existing albums you need to enable that option. But that don't apply to my test upload to your gallery. I created an album myself and was able to upload to that album without any changes in the album's properties.


Your issue doesn't apply only to bridging, but applies for unbridged galleries as well: regular users aren't allowed to upload to public albums (or create albums in public categories) unless you give them (= its user group) the permissions in the album (respectively category) properties. I'm sure this is mentioned somewhere in the docs, so I don't see any reason why we should add it to the bridging docs, as you have to read that parts of the docs anyway.

[CaptainDon]

Ok then it needs to be explained better like you just explained it...

I am serious I spent almost 10 hours on such a minor fix...

Thanks for your help!
