Invision (IPB) 3.x Bridge for Coppermine 1.5.x

[Fast Lane]

This should work.  Let me know if it does not.

Thanks again to Coppermine for all the hard work.  My small contribution!

If you have set a custom cookie prefix in your Invision board, please see the bridge file header for special instructions.

Thanks for your contribution.

  Note: If you have a custom cookie you will need to revise the following
      items on lines 146-148. edit: $_COOKIE['member_id'] and $_COOKIE['pass_hash']. 
      Example, if you have a cookie prefix of "mysite_" then revise as follows...
      $_COOKIE['mysite_member_id'] and $_COOKIE['mysite_pass_hash']

I'm unfamiliar with bridging. But can't this be auto-detected?

[Fast Lane]

Probably if I parse the ipb database I can.  For the majority of people it will already be plug and play (only if you added a cookie prefix will you need to make those edits).  I wanted to get something working to everyone asap .

[WYoLars]

What should we have the gallery and forums cookie settings set to?

Thanks for the help!

[Fast Lane]

If you set a cookie prefix in the ipb control panel (   1.  Tools & Settings  >    2. System Settings > Cookie Prefix) then you need to make the update above.  If not then no edits are needed .

Can anyone confirm if this is working for them?

[phill104]

Hopefully someone will. I do not have IPB so cannot test it.

[WYoLars]

I have not been able to get it to work, but appears to be a cookie issuse


i have nothing set in the cookies setting under IPB (default)

in Coppermine i have a cookie name of cpg15x and path to /

Do i need to change the name of the Coppermine cookie name?

[Fast Lane]

I will upgrade my gallery and note back my status.  I think it should work and I will note any config issues / changes for the group.

Same here. That's why I haven't the bridge file to the svn yet.

[Fast Lane]

ok.  I installed 1.5.6 and fixed the bridge.  It works for me great .

see attached and enjoy!!

[Fast Lane]

please use this the latest attached file.  I cleaned up a few things to make it generic.

[Fast Lane]

Attn mods/admin.  Can you please remove all previous attachments (except my last one which works and is the final copy).  Thanks!

[Αndré]

I attached your latest contribution to the first post and deleted the rest.

[Fast Lane]

thanks!

[Fast Lane]

actually can you delete the note and just say "see the bridge file header if you have a cookie prefix for special instructions".

[Αndré]

Changed initial post in a similar way as suggested.

[WYoLars]

It shows im logged in now !!!

but i can't upload or access the admin panel, ive tried setting my main group to Root Admin and Administrator, neither seem to fix it.

Is there a place I need to devine the Admin group and the Members group ID?

(tried with Use Bridge App groups as NO, still no user or admin menu)

[Fast Lane]

You probably need to run the bridge manager directly.

http://yourdomain.tld/your_coppermine_folder/bridgemgr.  Use this to run the setup. 

Also make sure in the ipb conf_global.php the admin group is set right (root of your forums for the file).  Also make sure you adjust all the settings correct for permissions.  I found that upon the upgrade all the permissions were wacked (even the admin/members could not upload).  You may need to fix that yourself.

Good luck!

[WYoLars]

You are the man, that was it. The numbers got changed in conf_global.php

I thank you from the bottom of my heart, this almost drove me to a inferiour gallery product.

Thank you again! I hope it works for others.

1. i ran bridgemanger script (http://mysite.com/gallery/bridgemgr.php)  is that right?
2. I checked ipb cong_global.php and nothing changed, it's the same.
3. I adjusted the permissions
