coppermine-gallery.com/forum

I run a small website with coppermine and yesterday I upgraded it to 1.2.
I have read in the Readme that you can now add the coppermine code in fora so I tried to do that. The problem is that users that allready are registerd on coppermine now dont have acces to the gallery anymore because they have no registration on the forem (Invision Power Board).
I have done everything that stands in the Readme but that is only for the otherway arround.
So how can I add the people that allready registerd on my coppermine gallery to the forum with the nick and pass they use on the gallery?

thx

As of today they will have to re-register on your IPB forum.  Coppermine "disables" its own user/groups when integrated with a BBS.  You could force them to re-register or manualy add them to IPB yourself, and then tell them how to log in.

i just upgraded to 1.2.0 from 1.0 with lots of help from gaugau. Can i make my Invision Board user automatically be linked with cpg ?

i've the same problem...redirection doesn't work too well with InvisionBoard intergration...this problem is been discussed for a while now...but there is no hack for it as of yet....  :cry:

Naah untill now I have no problems with the redirection for as far as I know. But  I thought it would be nice if I could import the userdatebase into IPB so the users that allready where on dont have to register again.

To bad it is not in it yet, but I am sure this will be in coppermine in the future ;)

Sorry I dont understand why you point this out as a solution at all.
This is only a feature for the board and no integrationscript for the coppermine userdatabase. Or I just look at the wrong spot in that thread.
The option given there is oke but no simulair to coppermine and that still is my main gallerysoftware to use.

thx anyway.

The redirect after logging in from Coppermine takes you to the Invisionboard you have it working with.  When you go to process an admin function on a user, it takes you to the IBF Admin Panel.

Where people are integrating with IPDL, it's actually much easier.  I don't like IPDL, so I want to be able to integrate without enabling it.

When logged into my IBF, if I manually type in the url to the gallery, I am already logged in.  I can switch back and forth between them, by manually typing the addresses in the address bar of the browser.

So, here is what I'm looking to do:
add in the header template (do this from your IBF admin panel) a link to the Coppermine gallery.
Do the same for the gallery.
And, of course, skinning my gallery to match my forum. :)

What would help:
When integrating with IBF, disabling login from the gallery.  I think this will make it easier on the users.

Okay, I've got everything working the way I want it now.

Click gallery link

How do I go about removing the login option from the Coppermine menu?  That's the only thing left to be done.

Things that I did to make it work (mostly)

Configured it to not accept new registrations.  Those must come from the IBF.

Added the link to the main menu of the forum

So, my questions are this:

How do I go about removing the login portion of the Coppermine menu?
How do I add a link back in the menu, back to my forum?

Thanks in advance

Linked back to the forum via the header image

Edit themes/yourtheme/theme.php.

Find <!-- BEGIN login -->
                        <a href="{LOGIN_TGT}">{LOGIN_LNK}</a>
<!-- END login -->

Comment this out, including any associated formating (button, etc)

replace it with the link to your forum.

I tried commenting that out, and it didn't work right.  So, instead, I'm leaving that in, and I added the links to the forum in the menu.

commenting it out would mean changing<!-- BEGIN login -->
                        <a href="{LOGIN_TGT}">{LOGIN_LNK}</a>
<!-- END login -->to<!-- BEGIN login -->
                        <!--<a href="{LOGIN_TGT}">{LOGIN_LNK}</a>-->
<!-- END login -->, but you could as well modify it like this:<!-- BEGIN login -->
                        <a href="http://yourdomain.com/your_bbs/your_login_page.xyz">{LOGIN_LNK}</a>
<!-- END login -->hth
