Hi, I have both Copermine 1.3.1 and phpBB2 2.0.8 installed and running fine.  They are integrated fine and there are no major problems.

However, some of the links that are in Copermine gallery section no longer work.  Here is a list of them, and what happens.


  • memberlist - goes to forum home page, not memberlist.  I expect it's supposed to go to the memberlist of the forum.
  • Admin "users" link - goes to the forum home page.  I expect it's supposed to go to the manage users link of the forum. (although I'd prefer it to go to the manage users page of the gallery! even though they use the same db ::)
  • my profile - this actually works!!  links to the my profile page of the forum
  • my favourites - this link works, but users can't actually add photos to their favorites.  I'm guessing this is because the gallery is using the forum database and the forum database doesn't have data relating to the gallery, so it can't store a list of favourites.  Is it posible to add a  user_favpics column to the phpBB2 user table to make this work??

Any ideas on how to get these's broken links to work??

has been discussed before, there's an easy fix available, search the board.

This is by design and can not be changed. Not all features that exist for the standalone, unbridged Coppermine work with bridged installs as well. As this would require you to modify phpBB's tables, you're welcome to hack this and post it as a mod. We (the coppermine dev team) won't give recommendations on how to modify other apps, as this may change from version to version, and we have no control over it.
