Where is the appropriate forum for questions regarding writing a new bridge?
Also I read a thread that mentioned a integration guide? Does such a thing exist?
Thanks
Joe
Have you read through the documentation that comes with Coppermine (in the docs folder)?
As for posting about a bridge file, you're in the correct forum.
I read the documentation that talks about how to turn it on for specific bulletin board software, but what I am really doing is building a bridge into a different software package. So what I am really trying to figure out what the minimum cookies/settings are so I can set them in an external php file so that users do not have to log in directly into cpg at all.
If that makes sense.
Thanks for any pointers
There are no 'minimum cookies' etc. that you have to worry about setting for Coppermine.
The udb_authenticate function in your bridge is solely responsible for checking whatever session authentication scheme you are using (usually done with a cookie, but could just as easily be HTTP authentication). This function must then populate the internal variables used by Coppermine.
