I think I found a minor problem regarding intergration with a BB

[BuckleGuy]

Hi Everyone,

Well, I just finished setting up my first Coppermine and Invision boards. Everything went smoothly (except Invision is a real bear to customize). I ran into a problem when integrating them and wanted to post it here - just in case it might help someone else (I just finished spending a LOT of time trying to find the answer and noticed another post which lead me to "solve" this minor problem).  FYI, I'm using Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.3.2  with Invision 1.3 Final. While I was able to log on to the Invision without any problems and then get to Coppermine, again without any problems, when I would try to log off or click on the admin's Users button, I could not do either except I was taken to a bland screen. Anyway, when edititing the bridge file, invisionboard.inc.php, the following appears:

Code Select Expand

// database configuration
define('IB_DB_NAME', '*******'); // The name of the database used by the board
define('IB_BD_HOST', 'localhost'); // The name of the database server
define('IB_DB_USERNAME', "******"); // The username to use to connect to the database
define('IB_DB_PASSWORD', '******'); // The password to use to connect to the database

// The web path to your Invision Board directory
// In this example http://yoursite_name.com/ivboard/
define('IB_WEB_PATH', '/ivboard/');

The problem lies in the last two lines, specicially, the example which suggests putting in the entire URL. Once I removed the URL and used only the directory for Invision (/ivboard/), everything now works like a charm!

Anyway, hope this helps someone. Other than that, Coppermine is a great program! Thanks!

this is not what the example says; it says "if your url is http://yoursite_name.com/ivboard/, then use /ivboard/ for the var. THis is covered in the documentation as well. Thanks for stating what seems to be obvious for the dev team though, maybe it'll be helpfull for others.
