[Done]: Installing / Programming Bridge

[dwo]

Hello.

We use coppermine 1.4.19 with strammmoddpack, joomla 1.59 and phorum 5.2.7

Right now we use a joomla plugin that bridges joomla as master and phorum as slave. Full user synchronisation&management. Works fine.

We would need following:
Everytime the username abc logs into joomla (master) he automatically is logged into coppermine, too.
We do not want to loose the usermanagement etc. of coppermine. So the best would be a simple login/logout synchronisation on e.g. username.
(The only thing what would be additionally good,  if a user registers in joomla, he is registered as guest in cpm, too. But that feature is not necessarily needed.)

Right now we get following error when enabling a bridge:
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'sdforum/common.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/stefanr/public_html/bridge/phorum.inc.php on line 34

We would pay minimum 50 Euros if you can use a existing solution, if work is more, we have to talk and adjust accordingly.

Thank you very much, regards.

The error mentioned is solved. Bridge to phorum for example in now working. But unfortunately not in the desired way we need it.
It seems phorum takes over all usermanagment. We cannot edit groups, users in cpm anymore.

So we still need some help to support as outlined above. Thanks.

It seems phorum takes over all usermanagment.

I think that's the purpouse of the brige file.

Isnt it possible to bridge and to keep seperate user settings?

e.g.:

It works with the joomla/phorum plugin I installed:
http://jfoobar.org/labs/14-joomla-components/204-phorum-plugin.html

- There every user added/deleted to joomla is added/deleted to phorum.
- If you login into joomla you are logged into forum, too. If you change password, synchronisation, too.

! But I can manage both user rights settings seperate. Thats exactly what I want.
! Means I can set the same user in joomla like I want (eg. author, registered ...) and I can set the same user in phorum rights (member of different forum groups, accessrights etc..)

With mehdis plugin (which works fine) for example I cannot edit usersettings in coppermine anymore.
But thats exactly I would like to keep. e.g.: keep the groups I am currently running, choose for the user a coppermine group and most important edit his custom user fields in cpmine.

Unless you code that: no. As Fabricio suggested, that's the whole point of bridging: the bridging app takes over user management.

I see. Things are more complicated.

Maybe this could help and make things easier:

I asked and we could spend up to 200 euros if you have to start from scratch.

The most important part would be single login if username/pword matches, the rest is not necessarily needed.

Kevin Epps did the job for me. Cool plugin for joomla. Once logged into/out of joomla I am logged into/out of coppermine aswell.
And I keep my usermanagement of coppermine. Coppermine files stay untouched.

I think this is a great plugin and greatly enhances the use of coppermine as joomla is a very popular CMS.

Thanks Kevin. If you are interested in the plugin, he approved that I can post his email here: eppskevin@unitedmindsgames.com
