Cannot save group settings

[Stargater59]

Having a bit of a problem.

In the 'groups' link, when I change some settings, and then click 'Apply Modifications' the settings I changed, don't change.

I have my gallery bridged with SMF. When I originally installed the gallery, I had it use it's own database. But then I changed it to use my forum's database. I exported the tables from the old database via phpMyAdmin, then imported them into the one my forum is using.

I don't know if through the process of doing this screwed something up?

Thanks for any help.

Post a link to your gallery for a start. In fact, do as suggested in "Sticky thread: When requesting bridge support - mandatory!" and "Documentation: Bridging support"

[Stargater59]

Oh, my apologies..

Coppermine install: http://gallery.unhealthyobsession.net
Forum install: http://forums.unhealthyobsession.net

Relative path to your BBS's config file:  /home/uowm/public_html/forums/settings.php

That's not a relative path, but an absolute one. Relative path would be something like ../forums/ depending on your domain setup - I guess your subdomains are set up to be sub-folders within the webroot, i.e. your gallery is located at /home/uowm/public_html/gallery/

[Stargater59]

Right.

So is there a way to make it work with the way I have it setup?

[Joachim Müller]

Did you read my reply? I told you that the relative path would be

Code Select Expand

../forums/. As suggested, this depends on your sub-domain setup. If you want answers, you'll have to provide more information. In your case, post the absolute path of your gallery.

[Stargater59]

Absolute path to Gallery: /home/uowm/public_html/gallery/
Absolute path to Forum: /home/uowm/public_html/forums/

If I understand relative paths correctly, then there's no way to put in a relative path because one path isn't above the other.

Unless by putting ../forums/ as the relative path, that will 'act' like the absolute path? Sort of..

So like, I have my web root. In a directory above my root is my gallery, then in another my forum. By putting '../forums/' it will go back to the root directory, then up to my forum? If that makes sense..

[Joachim Müller]

Re-run the bridge manager, then use ../forums/ as relative path and see how it goes.

[Stargater59]

Alright, I have done so. However, it's still not working.

[Joachim Müller]

What exactly is not working? I was able to log in fine. Going back to your gallery I'm logged in (see screenshot).

[Stargater59]

Yes, that's all working. The groups permission page, which would be at this link: http://gallery.unhealthyobsession.net/groupmgr.php I edit the settings, but when I go to save it, it doesn't save.

[Joachim Müller]

Post a screenshot please (attach it to your posting using "additional options" when composing your message).

[Stargater59]

Well, there's not much to show. But here they are anyways (sorry for them being so big, but if I downsized them, it was too blurry)

Image 1: That's the setting before I change/save it

Image 2: I change all three settings.

I then press save, and then

Image 3: It doesn't save.

[Stargater59]

By the way, That was for the 'Administrators' user group.

[Joachim Müller]

PM me an admin account please.

[Stargater59]

Well, that brings me to a second question. How do I make users Admins? It's not done through the forum, is it?

[Stargater59]

Never mind, I just unbridged the gallery and forum and added a user.

[Stargater59]

It didn't work. When I rebridged it, it set it back.. But I have a solution. I think..

[Joachim Müller]

That's nonsense: just add a user to the administrator group in the BBS app you bridge with. Users created with Coppermine in standalone mode (unbridged) are lost when re-enabling bridging.

[Stargater59]

Alright. Well, everything seems to be working fine now. Had a few problems when uploading pictures, but I just had to CHMOD the album folders to 777. Other than that, everything seems to be just fine.

Did you fix it?
