Title: [Closed]: New to bridging and need some guidance
Post by: travel124 on October 08, 2009, 08:46:40 PM

I have the following issue when trying to bridge coppermine and my SMF. I am new to bridging and have been reading for hours and I have read the help files as well.  I just cannot get it to work.

Coppermine install: ttp://mysite.tld/gallery/
Forum install: ttp://mysite.tld/forum/
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.25
Forum version: SMF 1.1.10


A few questions:

1. Am I supposed to set my cookies from my forum first into my Coppermine gallery then bridge?  If so this is what I have

Cookie name  ..... SMFCookie463     
Cookie path  ......./forum/


The go to Bridge Manager >

   
Enter path - Forum URL:    ttp://www.mysite.com/forum

Relative path to your BBS's config file:     ../forum/


I have tried this way and a few other ways and nothing is working.

Thanks for any help!

Post real data instead of dummy placeholders. The cookie names for your bridging app and your coppermine gallery must differ. What the cookie paths should be depends on your actual folder structure. Leave coppermine's cookie settings alone.

Now I somehow locked my bridge up after I changed the settings back in the config file admin in coppermine.

Cookie name     ... coppermine      
Cookie path    /

ugggg!!

Relative path to your BBS's config file: ../forum/

Your forum is not at ../forum/ - it is one level further up at ../../forum/

So what? Do as Nibbler suggested.
Title: Re: New to bridging and need some guidance
Post by: travel124 on October 09, 2009, 05:40:35 PM
well I am an idiot at this...lol

what would be the relative path then.

bc one level up would be no path other than my site name.

does not work.

I am not getting it.

Thanks for the help again.

Enter "../../forum/" as suggested.

You are not supposed to put http: or anything else, only the data nibbler suggested. Once you have done that then show us whatever error you get.

Erm ,what? You have no idea what bridging is meant to do? Read up the docs then.
Nothing we could do for you now, as you still haven't done as suggested by the sticky thread on this sub-board and the docs: you haven't posted a non-admin test user account. Do your homeworks.

I have been reading about the non admin test, I have my users set up in my admin. I am not sure if I know how to do it correctly here.

admin test: create a dummy account in my gallery?

So far I am still a bit confused. When I log into my gallery it takes me to my forum to log in. I was under the impression I would see my forum integrated right into my gallery after I bridged. Sorry I am so bugged eyed after reading so much.

No, all bridging does is switch the logging in and account control of one application (coppermine in this case) to the other. This means users only have to log in once for access to both applications and all user control is handed over to the forum.

What are you trying to accomplish?
