My coppermine was bridged to phpBB, and I recently upgraded my phpBB to version 3 and the bridge no longer works. I have disabed bridging and I am good with that however since I have some issues. I can log into my coppermine page and I can even log in as a user. The problem is it seems that all of the albums/pictures are associated with the bridged user authentication. In other words, I can log in however I cannot do anything with albums, I get an error that I do not have permission to modify any albums. It seems that I need to reassociate the album permissions to the coppermine user DB? Any insight?
You need to re-associate them (manually) in phpmyadmin.
For dummies like me, more explicit instructions on how to re-associate users using php-myadmin would be helpful. I can get to the database OK but don't intuitively find the users for coppermine. Nothing obvious points me to them. Help would be appreciated.
My problem may be a little different than the one originally posted. I'm using CPG 1.4.18 and a Mehdi's Joomla bridge. I'd like to change several users from "registered" status to "administrator."
