Invision Board 1.2 login from Coppermine

lmtuxinc · September 22, 2003, 03:27:18 AM

I installed Coppermine with integration with Invision Board 1.2 final.
When i try to login to Coppermine, it takes me to the Invision Board login page, where i can log in.
After that it goes to http://www.stjohnssweetair.org/forum/index.php?http://www.stjohnssweetair.org/coppermine/index.php which does nothing. I cant get it to recognize that it is logged in, so I have temporarily turned off the integration. How can i get Coppermine to accept that it is logged in?

I don't run Invision Board, so I'm only guessing: I know that there have been several issues with redirect and invision board on the old board - see if there's a var $redirect in invision board and wether you can use it. Please also give us the login data of a test account on your board and the url for your coppermine install.

I already tried to figure out the way invisionboard handles the redirection, but i couldn't wuite figure it out. According to the redirect function in the board it should strip everything before the ? and redirect accordingly, but for some weird reason it doesn't work.

i have the same problems...

THere are several Mod Requests on the invisionboard forums to make the login/logout redirect work, but until today noone came up with a working hack.
For the good news: The creators of Invisionboard want to modularize their software with the next major release. Then it should be possible to create on central login page and you are logged in with any invision script you may be using. And there the login/logout redirection should work as intended.

Where can I get integration of Coppermine Gallery with Invision Board 1.2 Final? Could you provide a link, please?.. :roll:

xarumanx · October 06, 2003, 08:39:33 AM

The needed bridge files are included in the 1.1.1 Dev Version (and soon 1.2) of coppermine.
Just upload everything, correct the settings in the invisionboard bridge file and there you go.

Zerg · October 06, 2003, 08:45:22 AM

Ok. Thanks for answering!
And when will CPG 1.2 will be released (at least approximately)?

Joachim Müller · October 06, 2003, 09:15:07 AM

of course you did a search on this board first - you didn't want to ask the same questions that already have been asked a thousand times over again, so you already know the answer.
Asking developers of open source / free software for a release date is always some kind of... well :?

Ok, sorry. :roll:

Perhaps it shouldn`t belong in here, but I though I shouldn`t start another topic.

I installed CPG 1.1.1, integrated it with my Invision 1.2 Final and now can`t understand one thing. There`s no control panel (Create / order my albums Modify my albums My profile), neither for me (admin), nor for users. I didn`t create any custom user groups, there`re default ones, and edited gallery permissions well (even though there`re 2 "banned" groups somehow). What is wrong? How can members add/manage their albums after all?.. :?:

Joachim Müller · October 07, 2003, 10:58:38 AM

please provide a link to your gallery and a test account (of a user that has the right to upload to at least one album).

Edit:
I take most of this post back

except for the blue. Found an easier fix. read the following posts.

I have also had some of these problems but have ben able to make it work. Even though the team has done some great work here, there are a few hick-ups you need to deal with in the Invision integration.

For one thing, your Members group cannot upload pictures. Its just one of those hick-ups. If you create another group in the Invision CP (call it maybe, PhotoPost), anyone you place into that group can upload pics.

Remember that after making the group in the Invision CP, you have to go into the coppermine groups and set the permissions for the new group (PhotoPost). I have set all members to no for upload approval as it does not work anyway, and gave permission to the new group PhotoPost. You can then move members you want to have permission into this group in the Invision CP.

Also, as an admin, I can create Categories and Albums. But I can only batch add pictures. I also have 2 banned groups.

jack · October 07, 2003, 05:04:28 PM

That it works for user definaed groups, but not for 'Administrators' or normal users almost confirms where I think the problem to be - thanks.

It's odd that the problem is there, because I am fairly certain I based the YaBB SE bridge off the Invision one - and that works fine :?

dale · October 07, 2003, 05:17:04 PM

sorry Jack, We have two posts here that are coming to the same conclusion. Please see:
http://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1659#1659

It seems that the Annonamouse and User groups are switched somehow. Setting the Annonamouse for picture upload and the members to not. Allows the members access and vice versa.

Thanks.
