I guess I may not understand the purpose of the bridge but here's what happened after I installed it.

Going to my cpg gallery and clicking login redirects to the phpbb login screen (?)

A cpg member's login user name and pwd is rejected
A phpbb user name and pwd is accepted and taken to the gallery

If admin logins in to the gallery and clicks on "users" he is taken to the phpbb users screen (!?)

I just uninstalled the bridge files but have pasted them below.

Yes, that's exactly what is supposed to happen.

So does using the bridge files mean a cpg admin gives up the "user menu" in cpg? If so, how do you manage cpg users?

There are no such thing as cpg users when you bridge. All you have are forum users, which are naturally managed best by your forum.

OK - think I got it


Even tho the users screen no longer is available in cpg, they have the same rights granted to members created/registered thru the bridge?
