What is your BBS ?

Bridging means your users need only register and login to a BBS on the same domain to be automatically recognised by Coppermine.

I have Coppermine already setup and it works wonderfully, Thank you . http://velvet-peacock.com/pixelparty/
I want to use SMF also, but a little nervous about bridging the 2. I understand they need to share the same database, but do these same principals apply whether you use their method of bridging or Coppermine's method. Will one way or the other cause one script to be the dominating for logging in and for user theme choice.

[Nibbler]

They don't need to share the same database. I don't know what 'their method' is, but our method makes SMF dominant. Themes are not connected.

Thank You SO Much...
and thanks for clarifying the database thing too. i think I was a little confused in the documentation, but now my understanding, they are just using the same users.

[i33333]

hello, Nibbler.

U said "Bridging means your users need only register and login to a BBS on the same domain to be automatically recognised by Coppermine.", will you tell in detail how to make it? what files of Coppermine should i modify to make the BBS recognised by Coppermine?

read here how to integrate coppermine with a bbs
http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#integrating

[i33333]

yes, Stramm, thank u for your link. but the board program i use is not in the available list, that means i must write a bridge file(.inc.php) by myself or realise the integration by other ways.

so, i must know the essential principles of integration or bridgeing.


any other ideas?

[Stramm]

so, i must know the essential principles of integration or bridgeing.

best way is to have a look at the existing bridge files. Then take the one that fits best to your existing bbs and modify it till everything works smooth

there's no bridge documentation

[i33333]

OK, i'll write a bridging file according to the existing ones.

thank U, Stramm!

If you do finish it, it would be great if you were to share the bridge so that others using the same board can benefit, too.

[i33333]

some key files of the BBS program i use are encrypted, so that i failed to get the definition of some superglobal variables and functions.

i am trying...

[i33333]

i want Coppermine to read the cookie of the users' login status of the BBS simply

what's your opition, friends?

[i33333]

i modified the 2 files of udb_base.inc.php and coppermine.inc.php under the bridge directory in order to fit CPG for my BBS program, but after the modification, the following error occured:

//--------- begin ----------------
