[phpbb integration] handle 'Anonymous' as not logged in

[Bruz]

Hi there!

I've got a problem with the phpbb-integration.
In phpbb there is a user called 'Anonymous' with the user-id "-1" - everybody who is not logged in, is automatically 'Anonymous'.
When a user, who is not logged in, changes to coppermine, he is logged in as 'Anonymous'!
As registerered user he can vote, give comments and so on...

How can I handle the user 'Anonymous' inside coppermine as not logged in?

Anyone have a fix for this problem?  I also seem to have this problem....I am using the redirect function posted here in the forums....

I'm not sure (I no longer have to use phpBB, thanks god), but you could try manually creating a user called 'Anonymous' and make him member of the guests group, or some other restricted group.

I've been having issues with this as well. I'm using the phpBB3 bridge and users that aren't logged in show as a registered user called 'Anonymous' - with all the rights as our other users.

We don't want users to be able to upload if they're not logged in.

I've tried to add a user Anonymous as a member of the guest group, but to no avail. I also tried to alder the user_id of that user to -1, but that didn't work either. I can't really see how that would help since the bridge should not access the gallery user list...

Post on the board appropriate to your Coppermine version and provide the information requested for bridge support issues. Locking.
