Coppermine integration

Atari · August 20, 2004, 06:46:09 PM

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.

and yes 10=2

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?

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 [nofollow] 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 [nofollow]
We reviewed the integration guide as well - it now explicitely mentions SMF: http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/manual.php#integrating [nofollow] (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.
You have a shortcut to the changelog or buglist?

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.

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

I swear I would still be looking. :-)

see those two SMF-lookalike coppermine themes live: SMF (regular) [nofollow] - SMF filmleft [nofollow] (they differ in the way the filmstrip is displayed when looking at a single pic; no visible differences on the index page).

Nice.

mennou · February 19, 2005, 02:57:27 AM

is there any coppermine mods for smf 1.0.2?

Kindred · February 19, 2005, 08:00:19 AM

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.

mennou · February 19, 2005, 10:51:44 AM

i just installed the coppermine to my site but i don't know what to do next.....

kegobeer · February 19, 2005, 01:21:18 PM

Read the documentation that comes with Coppermine, in the /docs directory. Bridging is explained.

jimwall2 · February 21, 2005, 02:19:36 AM

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?

Kindred · February 21, 2005, 08:30:48 AM

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.

ping · March 03, 2005, 11:20:10 PM

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.
