Well im really new to this coppermine intergration deal but i seeme to figure a lot of it out on my own. i got the init.inc.php and cpg_redir.php files configure i think, but im having trouble with the bridge file phpbb.inc.php for a phpbb forum. Both the gallery and forum exist on the same server but i seem to get some kind of a parse error. Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/tonybobd/public_html/synergy/gallery/bridge/phpbb.inc.php on line 40
Any help???
The parse error that points to line 40 on the bridge file indeicates the FALSE/TRUE command for if the version of phpbb is old or new.
This is line 40 on phpbb.inc.php
define('PHPBB_LOGOUT_GET', FALSE);
The link to the gallery is... http://www.tonybobdesign.com/synergy/gallery

I wasnt sure about the url to my message board as well i didnt know if i had to have the full liknke the the '/synforum/' after the full link such as http://www.tonybobdesign.com/synforum/
define('PHPBB_WEB_PATH', '/synforum/');
awsome, it seemed to work now but now the only thing i have questions is on is that its not integrated into thte forum at all its just like the stand alone section maybe the redirect php files is wrong or something..this is what i have...
?php
if (!$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {
$cpg_host=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'];
} else {
$cpg_host=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
}
$cpg_path='/gallery';
header("Location: http://www.tonybobdesign.com/synergy".$cpg_host.$cpg_path);
exit;
?>
the link to the gallery is as follows http://www.tonybobdeisgn.com/synergy/gallery/
do i have this file correct because the forum and gallery are on the samer server so i only need to define the path to the gallery.
<?php
if (!$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {
$cpg_host=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'];
} else {
$cpg_host=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
}
$cpg_path='/synergy';
header("Location: http://".$cpg_host.$cpg_path);
exit;
?>
Coppermine is still a standalone application - bridging tells Coppermine to use your phpBB user table instead of its own. If you want Coppermine to look like your bbs, you have to make a theme for Coppermine.
is it possible u can point me to a site that can showme how to make a theme including the forum navigation links that correspond with the forum as well as the header and footer.
You can start off by reading the documentation, reading the FAQ, and checking out the themes board.
