phpBB 2.0.19 and cpg1.4.4 bridging not working propperly

[MadMarian]

Hello,

searched all through the forum but could only find solutions for other boards and those didn't work out so...

When I enable bridging I get the error message:
Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to UDB database !

MySQL said:



What I did beforehand:
- updated my cpg 1.4.2 to 1.4.4
- turned on bridging
- since I had the not-being-admin-problem afterwards turned off bridging and followed all the steps from http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=24582.msg113221#msg113221
including copying the files etc. and updated my phpbridge file
- turned on bridging again and that's when I got the error

Now when I want to turn off bridging by going directly to bridgemgr.php in my browser I get the same error message. Actually it works this far that I log in at the lefthand side and am logged in at my gallery then. But I still don't have any admin buttons. And that's only working for users for which I have database entries in my cpg database table AND the forum table. Users who only have forum accounts cannot login to the gallery.

Coppermine install: http://www.screamsilence.net/gallery/
Forum install: http://www.screamsilence.net/forum/
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.4
Forum version: phpBB 2.0.19
Test user account: Tester / password:test

BridgeManager settings:
Forum URL:  http://www.screamsilence.net/forum/
Relative path to your BBS's config file:  ../forum/
Use post-based groups?:  0 



Any suggestions?

The bridge file from that post was written for a different version of phpbb than you are using. Use the bridge files provided in the package.

Okay, solved at least the UDB error problem by putting in my database connection specs directly at

Code Select Expand

// Database connection settings
$this->db = array(
'name' => $dbname,
'host' => $dbhost ? $dbhost : 'localhost',
'user' => $dbuser,
'password' => $dbpasswd,
'prefix' =>$table_prefix
);

Still... when I login with a user that's only existing in my board user table and not in the gallery table he's logged in in my board and not in the gallery. Might that be because I made my board work with a non-standard user table? I actually changed the name of my user table from the standard prefix forum_ (all the other board tables have forum_) to portal_users....

Well, can solve it when I have both user tables (forum and gallery) with the same users. Would be a quick and dirty solution. But still I miss the admin functions. Used all of the files from the new cpg 1.4.4. archive. Do I have to substitute any of the files?

Did a little research: In my database the Admin User MadMarian has user_group in the cpg user table and the forum user table set to 1. Now in cpg_usergroups the group with id 1 has "has_admin_access" set to 1. So actually user MadMarian should be able to access .../gallery/admin.php But it says I have not the right to access admin.php. What now? Is there a workaround?


Edit: Alright... got it narrowed down. All registered users are now admins and all admins are registered users. Admins have group_id 1 registered users have group_id 2. Considering what I wrote above about the settings in the cpg_usergroups table I don't understand why that is the case.
