Joomla 1.5 bridge.

[Nibbler]

Attached is a provisional bridge for Joomla 1.5. This is a conventional (login integration only) bridge file.

The file should be extracted and uploaded into your bridge folder, and then the details added to the bridge manager (bridgemgr.php). Search for

Code Select Expand

//////////////// main code start //////////////////////

and before it, add the new section

Code Select Expand


$default_bridge_data['joomla15'] = array(
  'full_name' => 'Joomla 1.5',
  'short_name' => 'joomla15',
  'support_url' => 'http://www.joomla.org/',
  'full_forum_url_default' => 'http://www.yoursite.com/joomla',
  'full_forum_url_used' => 'mandatory,not_empty,no_trailing_slash',
  'relative_path_to_config_file_default' => '../joomla/',
  'relative_path_to_config_file_used' => 'lookfor,configuration.php',
  'use_post_based_groups_default' => '0',
  'use_post_based_groups_used' => 'radio,1,0',
);


Note: do not edit any of this code, add it exactly as it is.

Then activate the bridge in the normal way according to the documentation. This integration handles login/logout via Joomla's API without redirecting, so don't get confused when you get the normal Coppermine login page after activating the bridge.

Feedback much appreciated from Joomla users. I'd like to get any issues resolved before Joomla 1.5 is formally released.

Well thx for the bridge but what is the difference between your bridge and this here:

And why Joomla 1.5? The current version is 1.0.10 ?

[Nibbler]

You've answered your own question. This file is for Joomla 1.5 and the version you refer to is for 1.0

This is not working for me.
I have a test install of Joomla 1.011 and CPG149 and have tries the bridging procedure, but at the end I have following error

Code Select Expand

Fatal error: cpg_udb() [function.require]: Failed opening required '..//includes/defines.php' (include_path='/xxxxxxxx/include:.:/usr/php4/lib/php') in /xxxxxxxx/gallery/bridge/joomla15.inc.php on line 33
I can only hit "back" and de-activate it.
Any idea?

[Nibbler]

Are you using Joomla 1.5?

[Davide Renda]

Are you using Joomla 1.5?

yes I've tried the file included in the 1st post of this thread, amended bridgmgr.php as explained and at the end of the bridging operation I have the error as per my previous message.
Now I've tried the http://www.mehdiplugins.com/misc hack and that one seem to work. I say "seem' as I'm running a test Joomla + CPG installa with no user/conteny/etc.

[Nibbler]

Forget the bridge manager and enter the details directly into the file.

Code Select Expand


$this->path = $BRIDGE['relative_path_to_config_file'];
$this->boardurl = $BRIDGE['full_forum_url'];
$this->use_post_based_groups = $BRIDGE['use_post_based_groups'];


Specifiy the relative path without the trailing slash.

I have the following situation - i need to integrate joomla, vbuletin and coppermine. Can anyone advise me a free solution for this? May be it's possible to integrate vbuletin and coppermine first and than to use this bridge, or may be anyone has other ideas? From integration i need only combined registration database. If anyone can help me, i'll be very appreciate.

I have a fresh install of Joomla 1.5 beta2 and Coppermine 1.4.10
Following the instructions in the original post, I extracted and uploaded joomla15.inc.php to the bridge folder and edited bridgemgr.php.
When I used Bridge Manager to enable the Joomla 1.5 bridge, I received the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: jimport() in (my path)/public_html/includes/application.php on line 17

In application.php of Joomla 1.5 beta2, line 17 reads

Code Select Expand

jimport('joomla.application.component.helper');

I hit the Back button in Firefox and disabled the integration.

Any help is appreciated.

greatings,

Henk de Lange

[hdelange]

Has anyone this bridge working anyway? with joomla 1.5?

[Eclipse]

Just wanted to let everyone know that there is now a bridge that works like a charm for Joomla 1.5 & Coppermine 1.4.18

The bridge will also integrate Coppermine into your Joomla template but some css work on Coppermine will be needed to make it look right.

Alternatively, you can use Coppermine as a standalone app and just use the user sync feature of the bridge.

Your reply is invalid: we're aware of Mehdi's bridge - he even has got a thread of his own: "An other bridge for Joomla 1.5 (rc4) by Mehdi". However, bridging as we understand it only takes care of integration in logical aspects, not in terms of visual integration. Mehdi's bridge doesn't work "the coppermine way", as it requires editing both Coppermine as well as Joomla files. Keep the discussion on the Mehdi bridge strictly on the thread I refered to. This thread here is a bridge file as we suggest it: it provides a clean coppermine integration in terms of logic only.
