Loging into coppermine after SMF integration

[huwb]

After hours of trying to search through my files and sorting it out on my own, I still have a problem, I have looked through the support forum and can find other problems but not identical to mine.

I have integrated coppermine with my smf forum, but when i log into coppermine, I go to the forum log in (which I understand is quite normal, but then when I go to the gallery section it does not let me view my admin profile, but prompts me to log in again. I looked on the SMF support forum and in there I found a part answer which was to change cookies from local to domain, which I have done. the only thing left I can thing now is that perhaps there is an error with the coding in smf.inc.php so now I am quoting my code here, I have replaced my password with *'s for security purposes.

can someone help me along my way

back as it was, and read the sticky on how to request bridging support.

Okay so I have put everything back as the coppermine download was, the only edited file is int.inc. The bridge file has not been ammended, as the path to smf is correct

here is a link to my forum http://www.gayswansea.com/smf/
and here is a link to the gallery http://www.gayswansea.com/gallery/

I have registered a test user account on my forum
username: testuser
password: gallery


below is the bridge code that is currently being used, but still when I log into my forum it does not remember who I am when I go to the gallery

does anyone have any suggestions?

Take that dot out of the smf cookie name, it is not a legal character for a cookie name.

I don't have a dot in the cookie name, if you mean the _ when I delete that from my cookie names I get this error when people are viewing the site

Table 'db121262902.smf1settings' doesn't exist


[kegobeer]

No, the cookie name is gaywansea.com.  You can't have a dot in the name.  You need to verify your SMF and Coppermine cookie names again.  Typical cookie names are SMFCookie10 and cpg133.

sorry it's been a long day, I have now changed cookie name and I think it is finally working, at least now when I log into gallery it gives me admin status... phew.....

thanks you guys and sorry to be a pain in the but

[kegobeer]

No problem.  Glad it's working now.
