This is for anyone (though I believe Spaceman-Spiff ported/coded the mod I'm using now)...
What's the outlook looking like for keeping a large coppermine/yse gallery I have now once I move to SMF...I'm wondering if I should jump ship before my gallery gets much bigger and just link directly to a full coppermine install instead of the integrated one. The reason I ask is that I'd of course LOVE to keep all my current comments and all that (as well as the way it's perfectly integrated for user comment posts, etc.) but if it's not gonna be feasible for SMF, I might as well cut my losses now since my gallery gets new pics and comments added daily.
Any comments from anyone who is smarter than me about this? :)
Thanks,
Jason
I've always wondered why we don't use Menalto's Gallery instead? A lot of people use this one and it's quite powerful as well. I have used it for the longest time, perhaps it's time we consider integrating that?
Ideally, of course, SMF would have it's own CMS and gallery built in... but that's for the long haul...
I too use menalto's but I just did a coppermine standalone install a few weeks back for a client and I really like it (more so than Gallery by a good bit)...

I used Menalto, and I think looks uglier than Coppermine.
Also, it isn't easy to use many language files with it, until next version I think they were going to do it on a decent way.
In overall, I like coppermine more, even it lacks some useful function that Menalto has :)
Does this mean you're volunteering to update Spiff's mod for SMF :)
LOL

It is. But as much as we create a product to be pure, we want it to be successful. When it comes to something like, for example, a CMS, most of the competition has it, so we'd be selling ourselves short by not having it. I understand that anything of that nature is for the long run, which is why I mentioned that. I can understand that many users don't need it, but there are also the other half of us who do, which is why I'm hoping you're still going to do the *nuke integration.
I'd guess that alot of people would like a CMS... but a CMS is an ADDITIONAL large piece of software, unless its very simple...
So I think that kinda thing is best left to mods, otherwise SMF as a forum and CMS would be just too "phat" for anyone who only wanted a forum to consider using.
There will no doubt be a few good cms's that support SMF... so it shouldn't be a problem.
Or better yet... write your own ;)
thats what I'm doing.. I got the basis of it running really nicely.. now I just need the member permissions code from SMF to link it up, then I can continue it and eventually finish it off ^_^
of course being the n00b coder I am its not gonna be great... but its easily my best coded and largest project :) lots of fun too :) I just love seeing bits of my code work :)

[Unknown] - I think this is one of the key issues that some people including me get our wires crossed about.
You said that you thought this was about a forum, but there are others who take a broader view. The url into the "Forum" uses the directory of "Community".
For some of us (particularly myself) that is what the "forum" represents, a full blown community. My members enjoy a lively community which has YaBBSE as it's core.
Your statement leads me to think that you see the SMF project as a forum, short and sweet, yet for those of us seeing it as a complete online community we like to be able to intergrate as much as possible to give a more complete community experience.
Does that make any sense ?
One of the greatest attractions for me when I first starting looking at forum programs was the fact that Yabb and then later YaBBSE was rich with the extra bits needed to help create a thriving community.
If SMF is going to be designed to be 'just a forum' (and I use that term loosely) then ultimately I think that SMF will lose users for that reason alone.
Ultimately in my mind it boils down to one thing.
SMF can either be a very good 'also ran' or it can lead the competition and develop in to a community system with the forum at its core that leaves all of the competition dead in the water, but that's just my take on it.
I appreciate that many users may only be looking for a forum and that will be enough for them, but for those members here that would like to really develop their sites they may find themselves looking at the competition and wondering what is best for their own community.
Back to the topic though.
We have the facility to add attachments of images, it seems only natural and more professional to be able to properly manage those images into an easy to read and easy to navigate addition.

You make some very good points. I personally think of YaBBSE & SMF as forums. I'm not in any way involved in the coding of SMF but I hope they are coding it in a way that would make it easy to add on to and port over other programs. Or better yet, future SM projects. :)
However, I think a image addon mod would be fairly easy to do. As you pointed out there is already the option to upload images. All that is really needed is to put them into directories, a db field for description, owner, etc. and some code to display the pics. That could be one of the very first mods. :)
But I don't think it should standard. Keep Simple Machines simple. :)
That's the difference between an also ran and a thoroughbred winner.
The also ran is simple, the thoroughbred winner has that something extra that makes it a winner.
Don't get me wrong, I am now fully behind SMF but I just want to see it be realised with its full potential and to stuff the competition into a bag.
Okay, back to the subject :)
This was about a MOD folks, not a feature in YSE or SMF.
Everyone has valid points, however, if you want something like that, I suggest you go with a portal system (like Nuke as mentioned above) and look to port a YSE/SMF install into it. I don't know about everyone but I'm here to have the best there is in forum software. Wasting time on anything else at this point is just that -- wasting time.
I think we should let our development team do what they do best -- develop the best forum around!
Oh, and back to my *original* question :)
Does anyone know the outlook of maintaining the coppermine integration mod?
Thanks,
Jason
This first part I will type without reading your replies.
Some people want CMS's, and some want forums. Now, let's make an analogy to cars and vans. (forums and CMS's) Some people want cars, and some people want vans. The people who want vans will take a car and not like it as much, but the people who want cars won't really take vans.
Now imagine that I could give you a "van upgrade" to make a car into a van. And imagine that all of this was free. Wouldn't it be, by common sense, only logical to make cars and van upgrades? Even if some cars already had the van upgrades built in, why would you kick yourself and not make cars?
That's the point. Simple Machines, in theory, could make a CMS. And it could integrate awesomely with SMF. But WHY IN THE WORLD should it be integrated in as the only option? That's stupid - it's like Toyota dropping all their compacts from production. It would not gain them ANYTHING. And the person who did it would get fired.
Oh, but, larger cars are better! Who wants compacts, right? No need to sell them - right?
Yes, this is a community. But it's not a CMS. CMS doesn't stand for "Community Management System." A CMS is a website-in-a-box for those too lazy to make their own. You can have a website without having a community - and you can have a community without a website. Look at www.webhostingtalk.com - there's no website there, just a forum. Just a community.
SMF is a forum. It doesn't stand for "Simple Machines Forum CMS" :P.
Fizzy, you need to take economics. You don't make a product with everything no one wants and pare down the crap they don't want, you make a product that people want and ALSO products other, smaller groups want that go together. Not everyone wants a CMS who wants a forum.... just because you do doesn't mean everyone is you.
I think Old Dan has the point just right...
No the difference, Fizzy, is quality. Not making your lamp drive you to work.
I've made quite a few changes to make integration with systems such as *nuke easier. Compuart has written something of a CMS for SMF already. BUT IT'S NOT GONNA BE BUILT IN!

i think Jack will convert his YSE-Coppermine integration bridge
his way is pretty good since the integration is not tighly integrated, so updates on both software can be done without ruining the integration
i myself haven't played around with the latest Coppermine version, and i'm not that comfy yet with SMF
so, it might take a while before i converted my mod
btw, Coppermine 1.2.0 RC2 looks pretty cool: http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/demo/
sorry to be off topic again... but I'd just like to point out that a lamp that could drive me to work (or school)... would be pretty damn cool :P ;D
the only thing i dont like about coppermine website is... it's too phpBB-ish (i'm just so tired looking at subsilver themes everywhere)
i like the older theme better

Thanks for the response. I guess I'll stick with it for now then.
Heck, i don't even know if I'm running the latest version you released...either way, it works with 1.5.4 if that tells you anything. :)
Jason
Hmm... I've been doing more research into Coppermine... I would love to see the integration with SMF... then I'd probably convert my Menalto to Coppermine... having it integrated with SMF would make it such a powerful tool... I look forward to seeing this
I've been having a look at Coppermine too for the first time.
If I'm reading it properly then it looks like templates to match the up-coming SMF templaes should be fairly straight forward.
I'm guessing that then all we neem id for one of our resident coding Gurus to help out with intergration and we'll be sorted :)
I was planning to write a mod to have galleries really inside the boards, not just in another section... I mention it in this message
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=3425/msg36346#msg36346
was planning to write it for YaBB SE, but will wait for SMF to be out instead
Totally 8)
I integrated YabbSE 1.5.4 with Coppermine 1.2.0 RC2.. went pretty smooth...
I would like to see Coppermine easily integrated into SMF...
yes, Jack is currently working on a bridge file for SMF (he has become a SMF charter member just to get his hands on the SMF code). There are however some problems that need to be solved first: as coppermine is released under GPL (and SMF isn't), will coppermine be allowed to integrate code bits of SMF into the coppermine-to-smf bridge file and release it with the coppermine package? Jack has already contacted the FSF on this issue (and maybe the smf team as well, I'm not sure). Maybe the smf devs could step in and allow us to release the code bits that are necessary for the bridge file under GPL (*hint*)?
There have been several requests on the coppermine support board for an easy integration of coppermine and smf so far - the numbers will rise once smf comes out publicly. I'd love to have a bridge file ready by then...
Integration of coppermine and any bbs is easy: when using bbs integration, the user management of coppermine is being replaced by the user management of the bbs (once there is a bridge file at least).
Someone on this thread has said that coppermine looks to phpbb'ish - I totally agree to that: when the current coppermine dev team took over the project in September 2003 we were forced to use phpbb as forum software, since the original coppermine site had gone down and we had to establish a forum really fast - we went for phpbb because that's what Greg, the original author of coppermine, had used in the past. I'm not happy at all with phpbb, so if smf will have a good converter script for migration from phpbb to smf, I'll go for that (again: *hinthint*)!
Re: using menalto gallery instead of coppermine as picture gallery: there have been arguments (and flames) on this before. IMO the main difference between menalto and coppermine is the server requirements: menalto needs NetPBM, Coppermine needs GD or Image Magick. When thinking about gallery integration, you should consider first: what ressources do I have on my server...

[email protected]In a nutshell, we want Coppermine to work with SMF so I'm sure we can arrange something.
/me applauds
one step closer to upgrading for me :)
/me "accidently" mentions the phpBB -> SMF converter we have.
-[Unknown]
/me is happy to hear that the bridge is on progress because he is going to upgrade to SMF his main forum, with gallery coppermine :)
And, switching from phpBB to SMF is worth it, and as Unknown gave the hint, the converter is already done ;)
/me also cannot wait for the bridge/integration so he can get his gallery back up.
Sorry guys, I really should have contributed to this thread earlier ...
Yeah, I became a charter member with three primary intentions ...
To convert the yse board I run to smf as smoothly as possible,
To convert the yse mods I've made to yse,
and to create a yse <-> cpg bridge before public release.
Unfortunatley, 'real life' has got in the way a lot :o
I have some code myself, but nothing really functional enough for me to want to release even as an alpha.
I had approaced the yse bridge originally by duplicating an amount of code (the password checking and user profiole loading code) from yse in the coppermine bridge file. I attempted to get the 'OK' from the YSE team, but the best I could get was along the lines of "I think it's probably OK, I'll pass your question along" - which didn't really satisfy me. So I decided to link directly into the YSE code thinking that this solved all licensing requirements. I would like to re-open this communication with the SMF team, as this is (to me) the most efficient way of handling the link but have been unable to find the time to commit to it yet. I told Gaugau that I would contact Jeff, but have not done so yet. COnsider me kicked up the arse to get this done ;)
From clarifications I have (yesterday) received from the FSF, this is actually not the case & I have to amke an 'exception' to the license specifically allowing the bridge code to be linked to YSE / SMF. As most of the code is mine & we have the general blessing of Greg, I can't see this being too much of a problem. However, this way does entail loading and parsing a significant amount of the smf/yse code just to view the gallery. Something that could be a problem ionrestricted systems (I know from experience).
Basically, the direction of my work resides on whether Jeff & co would be willing to relicense some paarts of their code to me under the GPL. Whether they do so or not will not affect the availability of a SMF / CPG bridge, just it's implementations.
Jeff: No pressure from me either way here, I can work with whatever you're happy with, now that I know I can call your code from mine directly (with an 'exception' in the license), or even (as a last resort) with a 'clean room' implementation of the user profile loading code.
At the end of the day, I've been a bit lazy - and I intend to 'get my finger out' tomorrow when I get up - honest.
Quote from: [Unknown] on February 02, 2004, 10:20:11 AM/me "accidently" mentions the phpBB -> SMF converter we have.
It wasn't as 'accidental' as me mentioning yse / smf when we moved to sourceforge ;)
Oh, and a s afinal thing to those going on about CMS's .. my main site uses YSE, Coppermine and PHP-Nuke to do what we want - we picked the best functionality from each- we couldn't do anywhere near what we currently do without all three. Let software do what it was designed for & don't expect it to do everything.
I would be more than willing to work on the bridge with you and license my work in the GPL, as long as it wasn't "large portions" or anything. However, I think it'd be helpful if you described, better, the scope of the bridge - what exactly does it do, how much code does it need to incorporate?
-[Unknown]
On a side note, is it possible to have an option in the next update to allow only registered forum members to be able to view the gallery?
The mod I have installed on YSE allows me to disallow guests from creating albums or posting comments, but nothing to keep them from viewing...
Regards,
Jason
Well with Spiffs mod, I stopped that by adding
if ($username == "Guest")
fatal_error($txt[223]);
just beforethe final ?> in the init.inc.php
Not sure if it will work on the bridge mod by unknown though ???
Thanks Tony!! That worked perfectly!

Ooops.... sorry :(
Heh .. it was me :)
You'd probably be better off replacing that code with :-
if ($username == "Guest")
cpg_die($txt[223]);
I've been working on some stuff that's either really cool or really icky (I haven't decided yet) for the SMF bridge that I will probably retrofit into the yabbse one because it will save an amount of memory on the server and will probably faster to execute - it will mean that yabbse functions unused by the bridge will not be available.
Bit of an update .. I've basically got the thing working :D (with a few caveats)
Expect a 'so beta it hurts' release in a couple of days.
EXCELLENTE!

man, just give us an SMF-built gallery mod. i like the coppermine, but am tired of always fiddling with it, to get it integrated. you've already got the system to upload pictures, post comments, track stats, etc. it seems like it would just be a matter of organizing it into a gallery and adding resize capability for thumbnails.

Yea, cause I'm sure someone can "just" whip one up in a few hours...
well, basically, the boards already make it easy to upload and display your picture. just make a "gallery" board, then add a thumbnail of the first image in a thread to the subject, in MessageIndex. it's also pretty easy to query the last x-images, or display x - number of random images (hacked this into one of my boards fairly easily), if you want to add that to the MI. You could reorganize the MI and tweak the Display.php (or whatever you call it now) to make it look more like a gallery. once you get the thumbnail thing going, it seems like it wouldn't be too tough. :)
Ummm... I don't think that you just described is complete enough to compete against coppermine :)
well, what else do you want? a disolving slide-show? e-card from photo? (i like that last feature, but couldn't really use it on my server any way, because they have a strict no-spam policy). with all we're hearing about the new template system, it seems like it shouldn't be too hard.
I don't know what you find so complicated?
All you have to worry about is pointing one line in a file to where the forum is installed, and the Coppermine templates. ... Much easier than making a mod for SMF & keeping that maintained.

all of us can go there :'(
If you can't go there, you can't get SMF .. so what's the point?
DOn't worry, when SMF goes public, the bridge file will have been publicly available for quite a while :)
Excellent :)
Thanks.
Ach! GauGau has just sent out Coppermine 1.3 oto the testing teams :o
I knew I should have written the bridge against Coppermine CVS :-\ - hopefully it won't need changing.

Check it... and... hopefully, you can get rid of that ugly phpBB board at Coppermine site :P
lol .. I wanted to go with YSE, but got out-logic'ed by the fact that (1) ..the original board (that we managed to get the database for) was phpBB and (2) .. GauGau had already installed it before I took an interest in the site ::)
But converting is so easy!
-[Unknown]
*cough*
There is still a lingering issue where PM's are concerned. A few other smaller issues as well, but nothing that can't be overcome (except for the PM's) with a little patience and/or restructuring.
I already said I was going to go work on it... I never said "convert now."
-[Unknown]
Not trying to rush you unk.. I know you guys are busy. I'm tinkering around a bit with Grudge's converter myself as well. We wouldn't want to give phpBB'ers the wrong idea though would we? ("But converting IS so easy!")
:)
Quote from: GauGau on February 02, 2004, 04:39:15 AM
yes, Jack is currently working on a bridge file for SMF...
What exactly does the bridge do from the viewpoint of users? Does it just cause login/logout to occur simultaneously on both YSE/SMF and Coppermine? Or does it do more than that?
Tom
Got it in one :).. if you are logged into SMF, your credentials 'carry over' into Coppermine. Also, SMF groups override the Coppermine groups. Install the YaBB SE one to have a play - it works in the same way :)

just for those "complaining" that the Coppermine support board is still running with phpBB: the phpBB -> SMF convertor is still hidden within the charter member section for me, and SMF still has beta status, that's why I won't convert now, but I surely will in the future.
Maybe meanwhile someone wants to build a coppermine theme that matches the look of the SMF default theme *hint* ;)

I suppose I should have remembered to keep this thread updated - The bridge file is working. I don't expect to see any changes to it other than minor bugfixes or unless [unknown] changes more bits of SMF it's reliant on ;)

The coppermine-SMF bridge is up-and-running (check the demo on the coppermine page).

This is looking good.
I can't wait to move my live forum across to both SMF and the latest Coppermine!
Just out of interest, on my current YaBBSE and Coppermine installation I changed the Coppermine menu from saying "Logout [user]" to "Forum [user]" which links back to the YaBBSE forum instead of logging out.
Makes it feel it more "integrated".

Does SMF still work, but Coppermine not?

I had the same problems and solved it this way.
Don't edit in /SMF/Settings.php
Edit the bridge file with realpaths instead, it solved the problem for me.

Both work standalone perfectly. The problem rises when I enable the coppermine bridge for Smf.

Ok my last try for today, i went totaly crazy from this. Remember both works wel standalone.

That would be great. Hold in mind that I use the latest Cpg public beta 1.3b4.
Just to point out that the Coppermine bridge for SMF is available in the Coppermine CVS repository, and is in the beta packages for 1.3.

Do SMF and Coppermine both work properly seperateley?
Test this by removing the entry for the bridge from init.inc.php. If so, turn on debug mode in Coppermine band re-enable the bridge.

No! Both databases resides appart on my server, one for /coppermine and the other for /smf, noting is mixed up (both works standalone without problems). You may check SMF (http://damysterious.xs4all.nl/smf/) and Coppermine (http://damysterious.xs4all.nl/gallery/) on that. Personally I think this is a redirection problem for Wind-Boxes in the bridgefile of coppermine but as I'm not a programmer I could'nt trace the problem :(.

Jack, you should use $db_name . '.' . $db_prefix as the SMF prefix.

Yup - there are many problems and awkward situations introduced when Coppermine and any Forum it is integrating with do not share the same database. The current recommendation is to have them both share the same DB,
http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/manual.php#integrating
from the bridge file i downloaded from from the coppermine site, think there is something wrong on line 447
$UDB_DB_LINK_ID = @mysql_connect(SMF_BD_HOST, SMF_DB_USERNAME, SMF_DB_PASSWORD);
the SMF_BD_HOST part, is't suppose to be SMF_DB_HOST??
anyway, my point is, i changed it to SMF_DB_HOST myself, and then the gallery give me this:
Fatal error :
There was an error while processing a database query
SMF n coppermine works fine by itself. so don't noe where went wrong, thnx
Yeah, the typo is a known issue. I'll have to do a new release some time.
Please put the gallery into debug mode to post error messages, thanks.

Hi Madman,
You also posted this on the coppermine board, Here (http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/board/index.php?topic=6031.0).
As informed on that board, this should not be changed. All the bridge files in coppermine use the line 'BD_HOST', because of a typo in the original script, but it works. It won't work if you change it. Your problem is almost certainly due to the only line you need to edit being incorrect.
Line 45 ($path = '../smf';) has to be edited to show the path to your forum directory.
Please let us know if you still have a problem.
Change that, and if you still get the database error message, here's how to determine what's causing it:
Go back into init.inc.php and comment out the newly inserted line that integrates it with SMF.
Login to Coppermine with admin priveleges
Under "config" select "yes" next to "debug mode" and click "save new config".
Then, go back and uncomment that line and go back to coppermine. This will give you a nice long explanation of what's causing the database error. (ie "While executing the query (really long mysql query), mysql returned the following error: (mysql error message)"). Also, make sure you're using the version attached at the beginning of this thread and not the one from the Coppermine CVS Repository (unless you're using the CVS version of coppermine).
OK i see everyone taking about the Intergration file to put into the CP gallery But none talk about one for the SMF forum. SO that the users that are already registered for the gallery can also log into the Forum. Meaning that lets say i already had CPG for about 1 year and have thousands of pictures and thousands of registered users. Now then u deside one day to install SMF. So u do the intergration that comes with the new CPG beta 1.3 beta 4 . But the users that are allowed to log into the gallery and the forum are the users that register for the forum AFTER i install it. So the users that were registered for the Gallery before that day are in deep trouble. Can anyone advice in this issue cuz i know alot of people had this problem
THanks in advance
As far as I am aware, there is no way to do this short of making major changes to the forum software.
There is an integration project going on with a portal/cms system. I would imagine that they are approaching the problem the same way as with Coppermine - i.e. make the cms's authentication system 'pluggable', but it isn't impossible that they are working with the SMF team to make changes on the forum side.
@djbox: Basically you will need a converter that will have to run once, converting all existing coppermine users to smf users. Once this is done, you could enable smf integration into coppermine. I can see such a converter could be helpfull, but afaik nobody has done this yet.
GauGau
Someone will have to write something like that for you... Shouldn't be too difficult to do either.
As far as the login - any user who is a member of the forum will be able to login to coppermine once you install it.
thats would be great. there must be about 1 million other users that would like this.
Ok I hate to be a block head, But I am so here it goes.
So what is the status of a Menalto Gallery integration? Is there even one at all? I think I have figured out that the "Offical Addon" will have Gallery integration but that seems to be a ways off ???
Should I just do a Coppermine Installation, especially since I only have one album so far? And use the latest from the CVS tree with the integration script already built in?
I would wait about a week or so, for us to finalise 1.3.0 - it's almost there
Correction :- Current ETA is 'a few hours' 8)
Well that seems to be the easiest thing to do, and apparently the only thing to do :P I eagerly await the release of 1.3.0!
Thanx
It's OUT NOW!!
Grab it while it's hot :)

Hey I have no idea how to integrate my SMF with Coppermine!
Need Help!! 8) ::)
Since your a charter member, if you open a support ticket, one of us will sort you out ;).
You could just download coppermine and the bridge and set it up, but if you need assistance doing it, we can help you :).
Anyone know where I can get the bridge for Coppermine to SMF? All the links on coppermines forum come up bad gateway for me. Also is it RC1 compatible yet?
and jacks link gives me : The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.
and yes I'm registered there
The bridge file that comes with Coppermine 1.3.1 works fine with RC1. I don't know what would be causing your Bad Gateway error. Perhaps try again at a later time? Did you try http://coppermine.sourceforge.net
Here's a link to 1.3.1:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/coppermine/cpg1.3.1.zip?use_mirror=voxel
If you haven't already upgraded to 1.3.1, I highly recommend it. I don't know how well the bridge file will work with anything earlier than 1.3.0.
ahh shoot me. I downloaded the newest version but didnt realize the bridge was in there. i thought it was a seperate file. And that was what I was trying to find. :P
Are you sure the bridge that comes with 1.3.1 is correct. I can't get it to work for me. My forum is in the folder smf which is located in my home directory and gallery is the folder with coppermine and is on the same level as smf so my path is $path = '../smf' When i comment out the bridge in the init.inc.php both the forum and gallery work fine as stand alone. But when I "turn on" the bridge I get this error:
Fatal error :
There was an error while processing a database query.
While executing query "
SELECT variable, value

Atari,
Are they in the same database, or in different databases? (coppermine and SMF.)

I installed the gallery as a standalone so it is 2 seperate databases currently. Should I have pointed it to SMF's database instead? I didnt see anything about that in the bridge instructions.

Move your Coppermine tables to the SMF database, update the Coppermine settings to reflect the new db, and you should be in business.

well i just went through the documentation and i can't find that anywhere. Infact it doesn't even include SMF in the list of what BBS can be intergrated with it. I thought thats what the bridge was for. ( to create the link to the SMF database) If i have to move all the tablers and such then thats not much of a bridge as far as i'm concerned. I'll just keep them seperate until they write some instructions that explain it not half of it. >:(
Sorry to post this after the 10 odd pages, but i cant find a link on the coppermine website to integrate it into the forum.. Any ideas where it went? The link on page 9 says the post is missing, and the CVS link is showing as bad gateway.
Thanks!
Nick
@Atari:
Take a look at /docs/index.htm, section 5, "Integrating the script with your bulletin board". If you don't have that directory, you must not have 1.3.0+. The instructions don't specifically mention SMF but there aren't any steps above any beyond to get the bridge working.
The bridge files were written to integrate CPG and forums on the same domain, sharing the same db. I'm sure it's possible to go across db's, but it hasn't been coded yet since the majority of users tend to have access to only one db. You can always post a request for such a bridge to be written.
@nickweb: Try http://coppermine.sourceforge.net.
Perfect! I guess RTFM would have been in order there! he he..
Thanks!
(p.s the smiley graphics on this forum, where they from? theyre pretty funky! :)
Nick
:( I finally read through the instructions line by line again and I did see about the same databases. The part that had me mixed up was when they said about installing them seperately. To me i thought that meant databases too. But anyways, i reran the install and pointed it to the smf database and the thing is running fine. Been pulling out whats left of my hair and all it was, was that little thing about using same database that had me all mixed up.
Thanks to all for trying to help my thick headedness. :P
and yes 10=2

The link Jack was posting pointed to the web cvs, where the most recent files (even those that haven't been released yet ;)) reside. Our webhost sf.net had troubles at that time with anonymous cvs access (this caused the "bad gateway" error message), but they sorted it out right now. Those who are looking for the bridge file only (which is included in the coppermine package already) can find it here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/coppermine/stable/bridge/smf.inc.php?rev=1.7&view=log
We reviewed the integration guide as well - it now explicitely mentions SMF: http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/manual.php#integrating (just as a sidenote: getting SMF bridging to work is the easiest one; all other bbs apps have rather complicated setups - the user is requested to fill in a lot of data in the bridge file before integration is up-and-running). Kudos to the SMF team. I wouldn't want to go back to the other bbs we used before SMF (we had to).

P.S. Coppermine1.3.2 is out, which doesn't have new features, but fixes some bugs that existed in older versions. Upgrade recommended (easy).
Since I upgraded to the former version, some membergroups get query errors.

I'm looking for a simplemachines theme that matches exactly or almost exactly a coopermine gallery. ANY matching themes are welcome.
There is a coppermine theme that matches the SMF theme exactly... if that helps.
Where? I've been there and all over here and cant find the actuall theme.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89658&package_id=98541
search for smf on this page :) there are 2, I recommend smf_filmleft.zip because it looks a bit better than the other one list imo :)
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!
I swear I would still be looking. :-)
see those two SMF-lookalike coppermine themes live: SMF (regular) (http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/demo/index.php?theme=smf) - SMF filmleft (http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/demo/index.php?theme=smf_filmleft) (they differ in the way the filmstrip is displayed when looking at a single pic; no visible differences on the index page).
Nice.
is there any coppermine mods for smf 1.0.2?
Why do you need one? Coppermine merges with SMF by sharing the cookie and calling the smf profile... a s far as I can tell, 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2 all work just fine with Coppermine as released.
i just installed the coppermine to my site but i don't know what to do next.....
Read the documentation that comes with Coppermine, in the /docs directory. Bridging is explained.
That documentation doesn't cover creating a link. It says to look to SMF...
Is there a way to do it without having to edit code, and if not, which file needs to be edited?
You mean creating a button in SMF?
You'd do that in index.template.php, right in/around the calendar button and the logout/login buttons...
I've got a strange issue at http://hogsmeade.us/gallery
I edited the theme so the forum link pointed to my forum (which isn't in the "smf" folder), but it doesn't seem to think I'm logged in, even though, if I click on the "login" link, it says I am. Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change?

If I am correct, the bridge needed to be done with no user, just an admin account active, so all your current users won't have access to the gallery through the bridge if done after users have joined.
try making a new test user once bridged?
you can also try asking over at coppermine support in the 1.3 bridge sub-board

Sorry, guys...I am a php newbie. I am trying to finish up my coppermine integration, but don't know what to do next. I've read all these posts, but I think I must be thick. Here are the final instructions from Coppermine...
"....Once the login or logout is performed you won't be redirected automatically to the gallery because your board does not have any function for that. It's up to you to add a link on your board to get you back to the gallery."
This is exactly my problem...When I try to login to coppermine, it re-directs me to login on my forum, however, after I login, I try to go "back" to coppermine through direct url, and I'm not logged in. I don't know how to add a link to my index back to my gallery. Can someone point me possibly to a post about this, or has someone created a mod for smf to create this link on the default smf theme index?
Also, does anyone have the photoshop file of the index page icons (links like "home, search, etc."), including the font?
Thanks in advance.
I thought I had this problem, too, only to discover that the SMF themes available have the links for logging in and out hard-coded in, so that it looked like I wasn't logged in on the top, but was actually logged in when I tried to do stuff with the gallery. I ended up deleting the boxes, because I'd have had to update them manually, and I'm lazy. :)
Does this make sense? Do you have the SMF theme? What's your URL, if you can provide it?
I added a link to my SMF forum (http://hogsmeade.us/forums) where I had some other links already. (The GrandPre gallery is the link to the coppermine installation.) I basically searched through the template, found the "menu," and put the links in on the next line. Not too pretty, but functional. I can find the code for you if you need.
thanks, but yes...I am aware of that problem in the forum. however, my problem is that when I go back to the gallery, I'm "really" not logged in. If I were, it would bring up the admin button, and it doesn't.
Here the url for the forum. You can login with "test" and "test" (username and passwords). Then click on gallery, and you'll see what I mean...it doesn't keep you logged-in...
http://216.120.251.3/~traumer/forum/
fyi, I found the "gallery.gif" button.
GOT IT! Thanks, Babylonking.

O.k. this may be a dumb question, but here goes...
so now how can I get coppermine to show up "within" my forum page (under the header, so that it appears a part of the forum, instead of a different site?

Not at all, sorry. The integration between coppermine and smf doesn't get that close: once bridged, coppermine will use the users/groups from SMF, that's all - visual integration isn't that easy: you can not just integrate it using a php include (as coppermine comes with a template engine of it's own that differs from smf's engine). You have to create a coppermine theme that closely matches the look of your smf pages (there is a coppermine theme that resembles SMF's default theme (http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/demo/index.php?theme=smf)), and you might want to modify both coppermine's and smf's menu to have links from one of them pointing to the other.
Anyway, SMF doesn't take full control of coppermine (nor vice versa), this is the big plus of the integration scheme we currently use: neither the code of coppermine nor the code of smf has to be modified to bridge the two of them (with the benefit that you can easily do upgrades of one app or the other without impact on bridging). The drawback is: there's no close visual integration (that's what the coppermine ports for CMS portals like nuke, e107 or PragmaMX do).
Another workaround would be the use of an iframe to display coppermine content on an smf page (not recommended though, because of all the drawbacks iframes/frames have by design).
Joachim
so for instance, i can bridge my forum and gallery (they already use a similar theme) without any modifications in both of them?
cool, eventhough i will lose all users and galleries :)
but tell me this: does the fact that my smf is an upgrade from YaBBSE 1.5.5 mean something? I mean, will it still work eventhough some table names or stuff still have "yabb" in them?
My forum has yabb in the tablenames, and I was able to get it to work fine. I followed the instructions to bridge an SMF forum, and it worked perfectly.
i think i will do it now :) thanks, that's all the info i needed.

Ah, guess I should amend it. It works as perfectly as it can now. They're working on the logging out issue--should have it fixed on the next CM release. :)
well, i sincerely doubt that is such a big issue :P my members do everything through the forum, so...
That was my reaction. I told them they couldn't do it from there, and no one's complained. Most of them probably don't really log out anyway. :)
weird ;D
i set up the bridge...and it kept all my albums and comments and all. And it's working :D eventhough it was written in the bridge file it will all go away. Strange, but i'm not complainin at all :D :D :D
one issue though. when i try to login at coppermine, it takes me to the forum login page. that's ok. when i log in - why don't it take me to the coppermine page? is that a bug or a feature? ;D
Good question. I think it has something with whether or not redirects are allowed in SMF. I didn't investigate it much, though I'm tempted to just remove the login/logout buttons from the theme until the next release. :)
i lost almost an hour with implementing a gallery button, no way i'm removin anything now :D
well, we'll have to wait for the big bosses to come down and tell us the answer ;)
- SMF currently doesn't support redirection back to coppermine after a user has logged in who came from the coppermine page afaik (this is actually a feature of SMF to prevent XSS attacks), I'm not sure if this will be changed in the future. As a workaround, place a link back to your coppermine gallery into your board's navigation.
- The "logout issue" will be fixed in the next release of coppermine (hopefully). Meanwhile (as a workaround), just remove the "logout" link from the coppermine theme you're using (edit coppermine_folder/themes/yourtheme/theme.php and comment out the the whole logout enchilada by putting <!-- and --> around it - do not remove the section completely!)
- It doesn't matter if your SMF board is actually an upgraded version of YaBB SE, nor does it matter what table prefix you chose for SMF. In the coppermine bridge file, you just specify the location of SMF's "Settings.php" (this is where all the database info is stored), so whatever db settings you have specified for your SMF install will be taken into account by coppermine when bridged.
- When bridging coppermine with SMF after you already have been running coppermine for a while, you don't lose pics, ratings or comments, you just lose the relation between the files uploaded, ratings given, comments posted and the "new" SMF users. You have to think in terms of user IDs: coppermine used to "link" a user album and the corresponding user with the use of an ID number. As you disable the user-management that comes with coppermine in favour of the user-management of SMF when you bridge, the correlation between those IDs is gone (SMF has a different user numbering scheme). As a result, all pics uploaded by your members remain in the coppermine gallery, but the users who originally uploaded them don't "own" them anymore (similar thing applies to ratings and comments).
GauGau (aka Joachim)
P.S. For more detailed coppermine-related support I recommend the use of the coppermine board (http://coppermine.sf.net/board/) instead of this one - you will easily find your way around, as the coppermine site uses SMF as board app as well...

Actually, it can as long as you set it in SMF's session data:
smf_loadSession();
$_SESSION['login_url'] = 'http://www.google.com/';This is related to the logout problem, however, so should be fixed at the same time (they're both caused by SMF and Coppermine looking different places for the session data.)

Only a guess, but I's say the coppermine theme.php
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: smf_loadsession()
How about putting that coad in the theme where the smf_welcome is, then calling it form the template.html with a {smf_loadsession} ???
I have to warn you Owdy, this is the blind leading the blind, I could be wasting your time.
LOL. I test that. :D

My next suggestion is to run the cvs 1.4
Is that downloadable somewhere?

Ok. Normally we recommend this for a typicall install:
domain/forum
domain/coppermine
I think you have this:
domain
domain/coppermine
That shouldn't be causing any real problems though. I think the problem may be that you are using http://www.blaqboard.com/v2/Diesel/Edition/cpg132/ for your Coppermine URL, but you are using
http://blaqboard.com/v2/Diesel/Edition/index.php for your SMF URL.
In your Coppermine config settings, change your "Target address for the 'See more pictures' link in e-cards" to http://blaqboard.com/v2/Diesel/Edition/cpg132/
When I used IE, I was able to log in to your SMF site and then go to Coppermine, even though it was www.blaqboard.../cpg132/ instead of blaqboard.../cpg132/. With Firefox, I was redirected to www.blaqboard.../cpg132/ and wasn't logged in. Once I removed the www. from the URL, it showed me as logged in.
Hopefully changing the Target address will fix this. Make sure to delete your blaqboard and www.blaqboard cookies and restart your browser.

Glad to help. If you have any other Coppermine issues, stop by the Coppermine support site. (http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/board/index.php)
Login/logout problems.... it seems to be acting squirlly... If i try to log out, i get a blank screen. No errors, just a blank screen. Once i do manage to logout, and try to log back in...same thing. Blank screen on index2.php. somehow, it does manage to login and logout, but i still get the screen.
Any suggestions? Anyone care to have a look? pm me and I'll send you link. Rather not post it due to it's content.

For the quickest help, please go to the Coppermine support boards for Coppermine bridge support. There's a board dedicated to bridge questions.
I'm pretty much the only Coppermine dev who visits the SMF site regularly.

I'm running 1.0.3 with cpg 1.3.0 and I'm not having any troubles. What version of CPG are you running?
Also, I suggest you look for help over at CPG,they know the CPG software better. IT's not a SMF issue.

Make sure you have the most recent file from the stable branch of the cvs. The version of the file smf.inc.php should be 1.7, the line in question is in the file header, should look like this
// CVS version: $Id: smf.inc.php,v 1.7 2004/07/24 15:04:10 gaugau Exp $If you have an older version, you should use this one: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/coppermine/stable/bridge/smf.inc.php?rev=1.7 (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/coppermine/stable/bridge/smf.inc.php?rev=1.7)
As already suggested by NukeWorker: if my suggestion doesn't solve the issues you have, you should take a look at the coppermine support board (http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/board/index.php?board=24.0).

Take a look at How to make mods work with themes (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=34526.0)?
Basically, you need to manually edit your theme to add another menu item. Look for other menu items and add another in there.
Thank you for your suggestion. I want to modify the default theme, but I don't have any instruction how to put a link in the menu that point to coppermine and when is clicked I want the coppermine run inside the forum, with the menu and forum logo (http://forum.crestini.com) instead standalone (http://forum.crestini.com/coppermine).

I postesd this on coppermines support forum but gotten no place, anyone have the permissions working on galleries. AS an admin I can upload to public gallery and not my user gallery, as a user I can uplaod to user gallery and not public gallery. All the settings seem right
Hi all,
is this topic still alive? I was wondering if somebody can give me the EXACT link to the SMF coppermin bridge file and even the correct instruction on how to make it work.
I have never found so many difficultes in finding a file and its proper instructions. In coppermine the topic is badly covered in here it simply seems dead.
Hi Yak,
If you download the latest version from Coppermine and install it it will prompt you for Bridge settings, just follow the internal prompts for setting up the bridge step by step.

No, I didn't even know the coppermine mod was around, that will come very handy down the road..
but with the cpmfetch, is it hard to install or figure out?
Wow, I didn't relize Mod's where sooo easy to install on here..
So with CPMfetch it will allow me to say display 4-5 thumbs in a column on my main page correct?
I was also looking for the coppermine 1.4 instructions.
Fizzy: Does the coppermine install allow for integration with a existing smf forum?
perhaps the first page could be updated if this is the case for all those looking at the 1.4 bridge :)

Hi Yak,
If you download the latest version from Coppermine and install it it will prompt you for Bridge settings, just follow the internal prompts for setting up the bridge step by step.
Thanks a lot for the answer!
Yak,
This is not entirely true. The current version from coppermine
is a stand-alone version. After it's installed and correctly
configured, you go into "ADMIN TOOLS" and click "BRIDGE MANAGER".
Its a wizard which configs the bridge. You might want to correct
your post?

You could even create a new menu button on top ans easily integrate a ajax version of coppermine.
You need to install coppermine on your server but you can integrate the albums with some simple lines of code.
i just installed coppermine and did the bridge thing ..if i am at "my coppermine" and click "my profile" or "login" it takes me to the appropriate page at "my smf boards" but i dont see anyway (naviagtion) to get back to "my coppermine" after loggin in at "my smf boards"
1) is there an option i need to click?
2) or do i need to create my own global tab button? how do i do that?
Thanks much
ps.. i dont really want to use the smf plugin (may use it as an extra) as it seems only for the user profile and i want a "global method"..

Coppermine's user instructions + SMF memberlist = >:( :o :P <-- me
According to the Coppermine documentation, there are options in the user list that define what groups they are in. However, once you bridge, the Coppermine user panel goes away and you have your application memberlist. The problem I have is that there aren't any options for the memberlist from my forum for Coppermine usergroups.
So no one except me (being the admin almighty) can upload photos. If I go into user mode, I get a "Sorry there is no album where you are allowed to upload files" error. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
I'm lost...
Kathy
skase98, It took me awhile to figure this out too. I set all my group permissions to allow all groups but guests to be able to upload to existing albums. I got the same message error.
From the coppermine homepage or index page while logged in as the admin, your albums should all be listed with three options displayed next to them that read DELETE, PROPERTIES & EDIT FILES Click on PROPERTIES and under "Permissions for this album" you have to select that visitors can upload files and whatever other permissions you want to allow your members.
I hope this is what you were looking for.
what if you have coppermine already linked to a phpBB2 forum and you migrate the forum to SMF and now want to not loose all the coppermine user albums and connect to the new SMF? currently my phpBB2 old database and the SMF database are in the same database with the same shared hoster.
however the coppermine database is on a different shared hosting and uses the bridge manager to connect over.
I can't loose those albums :(
thanks
Hi everyone,
I'm really not sure if this is the right forum to post this in, however after much searching I am hoping someone here can help. I have posted the same question on the Coppermine forums with no response, so help is kinda looking bleak.
Anyway here is a run down on what I have at the moment.
Currently running PHPBB with Coppermine Bridged. User data is stored in phpBB database.
I am looking to convert to SMF - absolutely love it makes my life as an admin 10X easier than phpBB.
The only issue is that I have users who have set up galleries in Coppermine. If I convert to SMF and unbridge phpBB and Coppermine and rebridge SMF + Coppermine will I loose my user association? To me it seems unlogical to loose the association since the users are stored in the phpBB database, but I'm not an SQL expert and this is kinda outta my depth.
Any help advice would be appreciated. I'd really like to move away from phpBB.
I guess worse case scenario would be manually setting users to be associated with a particular album.
I'm not sure.... I think it will be ok - but I'd certainly suggest doing a trial run first.
I have yet to see a site with SMF and Coppermine together. Can someone please provide links to such live sites, if they do exist.

I'm having the same issue with Coppermine going to SMF for the login but no way to get back to Coppermine. I've tried following the directions posted in the docs section but I have one problem.
Do I need to put in the URL where Coppermine is located so it knows to direct there?
I used this code:
// Show the [gallery] button.
echo ($current_action=='gallery' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '"> </td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'gallery' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=gallery">Gallery</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'gallery' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '"> </td>' : '';My gallery is located at http://gallery.ussriverside.us
What should be my next step?
I apologize for seeming dimwitted in advance. Thanks for your help.
HELP !!!
I have a Coppermine v1.4.12 installation bridged with SMF v1.1.3 at www.fotobuffs.com/admu198/, with a redirect to http://fotobuffs.com (or just www.fotobuffs.com). After this redirect, things were working properly. But within SMF, there is a GALLERY button that was linked to an old installation of menalto's Gallery2, so I did a redirect from http://www.fotobuffs.com/forum/index.php?action=gallery to http://fotobuffs.com, but after this redirect, when I login to Coppermine, I am still correctly brought to the SMF login, but after I login at SMF, I am no longer brought back to Coppermine and end up staying at the forum.
The weird thing is this. When I restore a backup that I made BEFORE creating my redirects, I am able to login once and only once from the any computer, but am back to the same problem when I try to login a second time. And this happens whether I login as Admin or as any user.
So what did I do wrong and how can I fix it please? Removing all the redirects I created does not solve the problems.
i have a problem
smf 1.1.3 copermine intergrated
i am always logged in to smf when i turn my browser on but
when i goto the gallery i am not
i have to go back to smf log out then log back in

I have one at www.raven-flight.com. I didn't do much with the theme, but the core integration with members and logins is there.
