Using Coppermine over subdomains for IBP 1.3

[Darth Unrivaled]

OK I think I have got this to work now. I am not use if this is right and if not please let me know. This is what I did to get it to work over IPB 1.3 but I am sure it can be done using any of them.

Find this.

Code Select Expand

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

Inside of puting '/forum/ put this: forum.

Please place whatever subdomain your forums are. mine is forums.xfiresystems.com

Now go down to this:

Code Select Expand

// Redirect
function udb_redirect($target)
{
    header('Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']  . IB_WEB_PATH  . $target);
    exit;
}

Chance it to this. remember to use your domain anme where it saids domain.com.

Code Select Expand

// Redirect $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
function udb_redirect($target)
{
    header('Location: http://' . IB_WEB_PATH . xfiresystems.com . $target);
    exit;
}

Now you need to go down and add a / in front of the index.php on each one.

Code Select Expand

// Register
function udb_register_page()
{
    $target = '/index.php?&act=Reg&CODE=00';
    udb_redirect($target);
}
// Login
function udb_login_page()
{
    $target = '/index.php?&act=Login&CODE=00';
    udb_redirect($target);
}
// Logout
function udb_logout_page()
{
    $target = '/index.php?&act=Login&CODE=03';
    udb_redirect($target);
}
// Edit users
function udb_edit_users()
{
    $target = '/index.php?act=Members';
    udb_redirect($target);
}

See how I added / before the index.php

You'll need to scroll down a bit more and find this:

Code Select Expand

// Edit user profile
function udb_edit_profile($uid)
{
    $target = '/index.php?&act=UserCP&CODE=00';
    udb_redirect($target);
}

Same thing. add a / before the index.php

Now I read a few post where some people said not to remove the $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']  and that it can cause problems. Now if you follow the steps on adding copper mind to your IPB 1.3 and then make these adds to the briige file it should work. Make sure you check your cookies as well. Make sure you IPB cookie is set to .domain.com and the others are blank. I hope this helps those who want to use subdomains with the board and gallery. However this will not work over different domain names. example: board.domain1.com and gallery.domain2.com. Both must be on the same domain name but are on different subdomains. Example board.domain.com and gallery.domain.com. Now I dont know if this will work with ther other forums as I dont use them. I hope that this will at least show them where to go and what needs to be edited. For IBP 1.3 this should work 100% with out errors.

I'm a bit of a newbie to PHP, about a year and a half into it. So I'm not sure if removing $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']  will cause problems but if someone knows what the code is for subdomains please let me know as that would be better. I hope this helps.

All you need to do is as described in this post. One change is all that is required to fix redirection for subdomains.
