Re: Direction/Tutorial for phpbb & CM intergration

[villin]

I currently run my forum(phpbb2.0.17) and gallery(cpg1.3.2) independently with two separate sql databases obviously. In step 5.2.5 of the integration procedure, it is stated that it is mandatory that the cpg and bbs tables be in the same database. How should I handle this situation? Should I replicate all the tables in my coppermine sqldb and insert them in my forum database?

The remainder of the integration procedure is easy for me to understand and execute but this database issue is preventing me from implementing this mod. Sorry if this question is out of line but i'm very unfamiliar with working with databases and I would really like to get this integration set up.

Replicating the tables would get confusing. The best way is just to move coppermine into the phpbb database. Make sure the tablename prefixes are different, then backup the coppermine tables and import them into the phpbb db. Then adjust include/config.inc.php with the new db details.

Thanks for the assistance.
