I have the following issue when trying to bridge Coppermine 1.4.6 and phpBB 2.0.20:
When I try to go to the gallery index.php page I get redirected to the forum page. All well and good but how do the users that already have a forum account upload their images? Which cpg page do I have to link to in their edit profile pages? I have added a link in their view-profile page to view their cpg pics but when I click on it I get redirected straight back to my forum index.
Apologies if the explanation isn't very clear.
Coppermine install: http://www.ukthrash.co.uk/forum/
Forum install: http://www.ukthrash.co.uk/gallery/
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.6
Forum version: phoBB 2.0.20
Test user account: test / test
BridgeManager settings:
Forum URL: http://www.ukthrash.co.uk/forum
Relative path to your BBS's config file: ../forum/
Use post-based groups?: 0
If you want anonymous users to have access then enable it in config.
OK thanks. I've allowed anonymous users in Config. I'm now slightly confused. The Bridging section of the Documentation says that cpg and the BBS will share the same user database. When I log in as my forum user (which is different from the phpBB overall-admin user in username/password only - ie it has full admin privileges etc) I get redirected to the gallery index but I'm shown as logged out.
My understanding of the shared users table is that you can log in from either application. When I log in from my forum I should also be logged in to Coppermine. Am I correct or am I just understanding the bridge function wrongly?
For that to work you need to set the cookie path to '/' in phpbb as explained in the docs.
Thanks very much for the help :)
All sorted now so can be marked as Solved. :D
