[Solved]: Coppermine and pbpBB3 admin problem after enabling bridge

[MsDesignsTwo]

I have spent pretty much all day surfing the internet with my problem integrating coppermine and phpBB3.  I am using phpbb3.inc.php program.  Everything loaded just fine. I have read the thread at the "[cpg1.4.x]: PHPBB3 bridge".
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,53678.msg261200.html#msg261200
I am using the same admin username and password on both coppermine and phpBB3.  I have Administrators as my default group in phpBB3 for my admin user.

I have the following issue after the bridge between coppermine and phpBB3 is enabled:

I loose admin powers

Coppermine install: http://class.quiltcampus.net/gallery/
Bridging app install: http://class.quiltcampus.net/forum/
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.21
Bridging app version: phpbb3.0.4

BridgeManager settings:
Bridge app URL:  <-  not sure what this is
Relative path to your bridge app's config file:  ../forum/
Use post-based groups?:  yes

If you need any more information, please let me know.

Thank you!

ah ... ok...I did not know it was the same at "Bridging app install:"  I thought "Bridge app URL:" was required when asking a question in this forum and I just did not know it was the same as "Bridging app install:".  I did not realize the madatory questions had changed since I componsed that email of my problem.  Here is the revised version.

You need to tell the bridge what the admin group is in your phpbb. Apparently this can differ. Edit phpbb3.inc.php here

Code Select Expand


$this->admingroups = array(5);


Change the 5 to the correct id. Judging by your forum it might be 304.

wow!  I would have never figured that one out!  It worked perfect.

Thank you nibbler!

So ... are ya going to tell me where you got the 304 from in case I need to install another forum/coopermine bridge.  8o)

Your "who is online" block on your forum has a link to the administrators group (/forum/memberlist.php?mode=group&g=304) that shows the group id.

Found it!  Thanks again for such a quick reply to my problem!
