Consider bridging

Coppermine was designed to be used as standalone application in the first place. However, many people wanted to integrate it with another app, so starting with cpg1.1.x coppermine came with a mechanism that allowed users to bridge coppermine with another app in terms of user management. The main advantage is giving your site visitors a single sign-on for your overall site (e.g. both in your gallery and your forum), so they don't have to sign in twice and memorize two different logons.

Bridging does not integrate coppermine visually into your home page (you have to create a custom theme to accomplish this).

You can enable (or disable) bridging at any time, but you should make up your mind on bridging when installing Coppermine in the first place, because there are some issues that have to be taken into account: if you already have users inside your coppermine database when enabling bridging, the correlation between those initial coppermine users and the "new" users from the app you bridge with gets lost. As a consequence, there will be no more correlation between things your "old" users did (uploading pic, posting comments etc.) and the "new" users from the bridge.

To circumvent those future issues, you should make up your mind when installing coppermine: do you want to allow user interaction? Do you plan to offer a bulletin board later (or any other application that keeps track of users)? If your answer is "yes", or "maybe", then it's advisable to enable bridging before actually promoting your site publicly and starting to let users in.

Read up details in the bridging section of the docs.

Thanks for respecting board rules (post a link to your gallery!) and reading the documentation before posting in the future.

I just want to make "Consider bridging" with forum PHPBB3. All user accounts form PHPBB3 forum, copy to coppermine-gallery, to be same data base for account.

phpbb3 is not supported out of the box by Coppermine 1.4.x (BTW you run cpg1.4.25 as the latest stable version is cpg1.4.26, so you must upgrade your gallery as soon as possible)
For your problem, search the board to find if other users have performed a bridge for phpbb3.(look at the bridge contribution section)
Moving this thread to the bridge section

There is a phpBB3 bridge available here - http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,53678.0.html
