Just looking again at bridging my gallery with my forums to make it easier for my guys.
In my CPG users I have 6 users, in my forum I have 56.
I can bridge it and if I login with a user that is in my coppermine it logs in fine. If I login with a user that is in the forum but not the gallery, when it takes me back to the gallery it doesn't log me in. I click on 'Log In' in Coppermine, it takes me to the forums, I log in there, it takes me back to the gallery but still shows as 'Log In'
New users that I register through the gallery that take me through the forums work fine. I can log into both ok, but not with existing members of the forum.
The user stutest/stutest is one that I have registered since bridging, but paddy/hewlett is one that I created before the bridging and doesn't work.
Is it worth me trying to populate the coppermine users somehow with the forums users or is there some simpler solution?
Thanks
Login works as expected. Clear your cookies and cache in your browser, then try again.
Did you get the paddy login to work?
I tried stutest. If paddy doesn't work for you, make sure that the user group paddy is member of is actually being populated in coppermine.
Yep Paddy is the one that I can't get to work. He's a registered moderator in the forums and I have the Registered group in coppermine.
Where else do I need to check?
Is he member both of "registered" as well as "moderator"?
He is a moderator although have no moderator group in my coppermine. Just made him an admin which I have in coppermine but made no difference. Just added him to my staff group and it worked. ???
Make him a member of the registered group, not the admin group. If you don't trust him to be an admin in your forum, why would you trust him to be an admin in your gallery?
he is obviously a registered member of the forum, so assumed he would be under the registered group in cpg
