Where's the gallery ?
Ensure you set the cookie prefix to 'bb' in the bridge file and the db info is correct.
Also:
Quotedefine('VB_WEB_PATH', 'http://insanemustangs.com/forums/');
That should be a path, not an url.
seems you haven't enabled the bridge? Have you? --> include/init.inc.php
QuoteWhere's the gallery ?
if you look on my navbar in the forums, the gallery is named coppermine, in the navbar.
QuoteThat should be a path, not an url.
like /forums/ ?
Quoteseems you haven't enabled the bridge? Have you? --> include/init.inc.php
i believe so....
define('COPPERMINE_VERSION', '1.3.5');
// User database integration
// Uncomment the applicable line if you want to use it
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'phpbb');
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'invisionboard');
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'vbulletin23');
define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'vbulletin30');
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'yabbse');
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'smf');
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'woltlab21');
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'punbb');
if (!defined('IN_COPPERMINE')) die('Not in Coppermine...');
// Start output buffering
ob_start();
// Report all errors except E_NOTICE
// This is the default value set in php.ini
// error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
This is what i call in the init.php right?
Quotedefine('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'vbulletin30');

the actual gamma bridge doesn't have a cookie prefix like the older bridge did.......or am i missing it?

k, i switched out gamma for vbulletin30.inc.php and updated the cookie prefix to 'bb' and went to init.php and //define for vbulletin3.0, since it is showing an error
This is how i am now set up on the bridge file:

sorry, if you don' enable the bridge, then I can't help you...
still, you probably got a mysql error. Means you've entered a wrong dbname, dbuser or dbpw. Check this twice
Quotesorry, if you don' enable the bridge, then I can't help you...
What does that mean? I am asking for help, i posted my init.php, tell me what i am supposed to do. If i knew how to enable it, i wouldn't be here asking, would I? That is a terrible answer, look at my previous post and it show's you my vbulletin bridge and my init.php file..........i am asking what am i supposed to do with it now.....i have no idea, when i enable the // define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'vbulletin30'); it then give me an error on coppermine......
now making an assumption on my part, the init.php is now turned on:
define('COPPERMINE_VERSION', '1.3.5');
// User database integration
// Uncomment the applicable line if you want to use it
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'phpbb');
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'invisionboard');
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'vbulletin23');
define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'vbulletin30');
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'yabbse');
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'smf');
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'woltlab21');
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'punbb');
if (!defined('IN_COPPERMINE')) die('Not in Coppermine...');
// Start output buffering
with that enabled, the above post, i now get this error in coppermine:
Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to vBulletin Board database !
MySQL said: Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Did you follow all of the bridging instructions in the manual? Did you follow the bridging instructions and put Coppermine and your bbs in the same database?
yes..........now i am getting this error:
Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_USER_AGENT in /home3/hotwheel/public_html/forums/cpg135/bridge/vbulletin30.inc.php on line 76
You must enable long arrays in php.ini. Ask your webhost to fix that for you.
They told me that it is on.........i asked them that about a week ago.
K, try it again and tell me what you think. I have debug mode on and the init.php is enabled.

Turn off debug notices in your config settings. That's just a notice, don't worry about it.
okay, it's off.......
ah forget it........... :(

meaning what? Issue solved? Username/password test/tester doesn't work for me, so I guess you disabled this account because your issues have been solved. Marking thread accordingly.
no problem isn't resolved.............i spent 12hrs working on getting the bridge to work and it never did. Not being impatient, but i would open up stuff for the test password and then nobody would respond. I know you guy's are very busy and that it is very time consuming trying to help everyone, but i just couldn't sit on the computer all day waiting for a response. I am sure there is something i am doing wrong with the integration, but i sure thought it would be easier to actually get the problem resolved.
I followed the suggestion's the best that i could and it just wasn't working at this point, or at any point........i hope to get this issue resolved one of these days.......I noticed that alot of people get have this same issue, but no where on the site could i really find the exact way to fix this issue........
All bridging problems can be resolved, however at this point there is nothing I can do to help as the test account is gone and bridging is disabled.
k nibbler, i set up the user again.....
username: test
password: tester
I also went into the includes/init file and uncommented the define vbulletin3.0
i also moved the vbulletin3.0.php file into my forums file from the bridge file.......

What ?
Coppermine critical error:

Make sure the bridge file has the correct db info, and the cookie prefix is set to 'bb'
Quotei also moved the vbulletin3.0.php file into my forums file from the bridge file.......
it is in the bridge file and i set the chmod to 777 for now...........still trying to figure out what the right info is that i need in the file....

does that look right so far?
You can get the database info from your forums' config file if you can find that. You don't move the bridge file anywhere, it stays in coppermine's bridge folder.
okay, it is still in the bridge folder which is inside the cpg135 folder.............
I also found my forums include/config file and updated as such, now is this correct or should it be something else? (// The web path to your vBulletin Board directory
// In this example http://yoursite_name.com/vbulletin3/
define('VB_WEB_PATH', '/forums/');
)
I checked my forums include/config file and it show's the relative path as /vb3/ so where i have forums, should that be vb3?
This is straight off of my main includes/config file:
// Prefix that your vBulletin tables have in the database.
// For example: $tableprefix = 'vb3_';
$tableprefix = 'vb3';
// Prefix that all vBulletin cookies will have
// For example
$cookieprefix = 'bb';
holy cow, i think it worked.................give me a couple minutes.
;D ;D that was it nibbler, you are da man..................oh man, this is exciting.........
Thank you so much...............hotwheels
This one is SOLVED
