i install both my gallery and my forumn in the same database, but when i have 'bb' as my cookie prefix the gallery shows a error 'Fatal error :
There was an error while processing a database query'
so i leave the cookie prefix empty and when i click login in the gallery it goes to the forum login, i login there but when i then go to the gallery i am not logged in.... this is wat bridging is supposed to do right? so that u only have to register once and u log in once and ur logged into the forums and gallery?
using vbulletin 3.0.8
That is the idea, yes. The fact that you get an error indicates that the cookie prefix is supposed to be 'bb'. Disable the bridge, enable debug mode, re-enable the bridge, then post the sql error message that you get. Tablename prefixes generally end in an underscore, perhaps that will be the problem.
thnx nibbler,
i added an underscore after the prefix and now i dont get the error message, im pretty sure that the users are now running from the same database, the ONLY problem now is that in coppermine i am logged in as the admin automatically and cannot logout.
Try clearing your cookies.
ok i did that and now i am no longer logged in, so good..........but..........lol now i can log into the forum but when i go to the gallery i am not logged in
??????????
Post a test user account and update the quote from your bridge file with what you currently have.
