Do you just want to create a link or do you want the forum and gallery to share logins?

Well, I never thought of that, both would be great. Can you tell me how to do both? Thanks!

To bridge your bbs and gallery, download 1.3.2 from this site and read the instructions in the /docs folder.  Or click the documentation link at the top of this screen.

to add a link to the menu of your bbs, you will have to ask this on the support board of your bbs. We don't know the bbs code, we can only give you support related to coppermine, as it's the only app we know.

I think I got it installed except for the configuration trouble I posted about below, but this error message popped up when I tried to access my gallery. Any help is appreciated!

Stop double and triple posting!  You've asked this question several different times.  Post here.  I will remove the redundant posts.

QuoteI'm trying to bridge my forum and my gallery, but when I'm editing my bridge file, what do I put as these configurations?
thanks
Anthony

// database configuration
define('PHPBB_DB_NAME', 'phpBB'); // The name of the database used by the board
define('PHPBB_BD_HOST', 'localhost'); // The name of the database server
define('PHPBB_DB_USERNAME', 'root'); // The username to use to connect to the database
define('PHPBB_DB_PASSWORD', ''); // The password to use to connect to the database

Regarding your other bridge question: If you installed phpBB, you should know the database, server, user, and password information.  That needs to go into your bridge file, like the documentation states.  Read the documentation - bridge instructions are in there.

at phpbb 2.0.11 you need to edit the templates/subSilver/overall_header.tpl file to create a link to the gallery

Your coppermine gallery version is 1.3.2, your board application version is 2.0.11. Coppermine is a gallery, phpBB is a board.
