Here's a brief introduction:
Decided to integrate coppermine in my PostNuke site: think its great. I've installed CPG, uploaded photos, initialized it in postnuke (with pnCPG), fixed the double scroll-bar problem and changed encrypted passwords to '0' in order to sync my login.
Here's what works:
I can see coppermine in postnuke. I can navigate it. When I log into postnuke I am also logged into coppermine(applied patch to database: password_encryption='0'). Guests are also able to view coppermine gallery.
Here's the problem:
When I log into my postnuke site using my admin account I do not have any admin privileges in coppermine. Also, because Ive synced my PN and CPG user tables I can no longer log into Coppermine with the admin account I used to create it originally...
Here's my question:
How can I fix my site so that my admin privileges from postnuke account also apply to coppermine?
oh yeah. I'm running
Pn .61
CPG 1.4.6
pnCPG33
Here's the fix:
1. Go to the Coppermine database using phpMyAdmin or soemthing similar
2. Browse the usertable
3. Find the admin account
4. Make sure the field user_group is set to 1
Here's my question:
Why not used the option of using a dynamic user field which takes you away from adjusting default Database settings and ensures direct access ?

Hey, thanks dude, worked like a charm!! Really pleased because I WANT to use coppermine (was using My eGallery, but has too many bugs, and no search) and now that we can admin we can enter the final testing phase :)

Why? because I have no idea what that means or how to do it... Sounds good though, I'll give it a shot if you have time to explain what/how it works :) In anycase, got things working pretty well already, so thanks again!!

For explaining Dynamic User fields you should check the Postnuke forums, there is enough info and better than I can explain it.
If you like it, in the pnCPG documentation you find info how to enable this.
