[Solved]: No admin privilages after bridging

[bozz282]

Please help, I have been trying to get this working for days now.

I have the following issue when trying to bridge coppermine and phpBB3:

I have bridged Coppermine with phBB3. When the bridge is enabled, my BB members are able to log in without any problems, however, I (admin) can log in but do not have access to admin privilages. When I disable the bridge, my members cannot log in but I can and can get access to all the admin features.

I have searched the boards and tried the following fixes :

Checked and corrected cookie prefix
Cleared cookies
Cleared BB template cache
Checked phpMyadmin for correct info
Both Coppermine and phBB3 work in standalone modes
Checked that I get the same results in Firefox and IE7
Enabled and disabled user based groups

None of the above seemed to work.

Coppermine install: http://www.v8hotstox.com/gallery/
Forum install: http://www.v8hotstox.com/forum/
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.21.
Forum version: phpBB 2.0.22
Test user account: test1 / testaccount (I had failed to register this account for my BB on previous help requests - my bad, sorry. account now activated)

BridgeManager settings:
Forum URL:  http://www.v8hotstox.com/forum
Relative path to your BBS's config file:  ../forum/
Use post-based groups?:  0 and 1 (Have tried both)
Cookie name/preifx phpbb3_3jbn8

What forum version and what bridge? You say that you are using phpbb 2.022 in one bit and phpbb3 in another. Looking at your site you are using phpbb3. Did you download the phpbb3 bridge? The bridge supplied with coppermine does not support phpbb3.

[bozz282]

Hello Phill,

Sorry, I missed that forum version mistake. I am running phBB3 3.0.4

Yes, I downloaded the bridge for phBB3 and have it bridged but I cannot access admin mode.

[bozz282]

Ok, well, it seems that I have upset the mods / helpers - sorry 'bout that. We aren't all as brainy as you guys. I suppose they do get asked the same things day in day out. Just, some of us don't exactly understand ALL the terminology that others take for granted as being easy. Kudos to all that help on this forum. Good luck to all those needing help - you better ask for help in the right way (or be blonde with big guns) or you'll get ignored !

Anyway, for those of you that are reading this and have the same problem as me - no admin buttons (keeping the terminology real !) when you log in as admin, the fix is quite simple (when told how to do it). The explanation is in this thread

To find your admin usergroup id (default is 5 in the coppermine phbb3 bridge file (phbb3.inc.php) go to your forum, log in, scroll down to where it tells you 'Who is online' and underneath that there is a link for 'administrators' click the link and on the resulting page look on your address bar (top of your web browser) and look for the following bit of info

Code Select Expand

group&g=282

The '282' is the bit you're looking for. Follow Nibblers instructions :

edit phpbb3.inc.php (located in your gallery's 'bridge' folder) and :

find

Code Select Expand

$this->admingroups = array(5);

and change the (5) to (282) or whatever your administrator group number is.


Dear Nibbler and the ever so lovely Joachim, please consider my problem solved. It was oh so simple, solved in less than 5 minutes but my gf is no longer talking to me as I have spent so much time trying to get it sorted.

Now I am off to edit my gallery theme.......

Not quite sure why you feel like that. Is it simply because nobody replied quickly? We are not stuck in front of our PC's 24/7 and have families, children, jobs or general life to get on with.

Anyway, I digress. Thankyou for coming back an resolving your thread.

[bozz282]

Hi Phill,

No worries, you all do a good job and I love my Coppermine Gallery. You do all this for free and of course you all have other lives aside from answering noob questions.

I appreciate your time - thanks
