Old multi user Coppermine installation

[hanjos]

Dear all,

I have Coppermine running for years now - stand alone, next to my forum.

Would it make sense to bridge it to my (upgraded from 2) phpBB3 script at this point?

I am expecting many problems syncing the 2 userdatabases, for example, people have more than one Coppermine account, and the usernames differ a bit (case sensitivity).


I would be happy if this could be achieved: combined login for forum and gallery (when username is matching), and if the username doesn't match, an alternative login to coppermine appears (the old one).

Also I want the forum userdatabase to be leading.


Again, I am not expecting this to happen, but if you say this is possible, I will give it a try.

Thanks for your input!

While it is possible it will be very hard work if you have more than a few users. There is a script out there on the www somewhere that will even import all coppermine users into phpbb2 (not sure if there is a version for phpbb3) but users will loose control of their own images. If you have only a few users then you could then go in and edit the user id's in phpmyadmin but if you have more than a few it will be a lot of work.

Thank you Phill,

I will forget about it then, indeed I have hundreds of users...
