[OBSOLETE] How to Integrate Coppermine with SMF

[taz]

@erockza
my forums are http://www.icducks.com/Hunt and then just click on the galllery button.

The site is hosted at SourceForge - there isn't anything we can do about the incredible wait times.  We are looking at moving the site to another host, but nothing has been decided upon as of yet.

I have some pull with a few hosts - if you want, I can help with that.  And, would you be willing to let me poke around to see what is causing it to be slow, there, either way?

Unknown, did you had a chance to look at Coppermine forum not only it is slow, in a day at least 3 to 4 time I get the following message.

Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

[[Unknown]]

SourceForge is still using MySQL 3.23.x, which is going to be slow especially because SMF was optimized for MySQL 4.0 and above.  Furthermore, the statistics show that the MySQL server is enduring quite heavy usage (466 queries per second, among other things), although the webservers themselves seem relatively well-distributed.

They would probably benefit immensely from using MySQL 4.1 and replication with multiple servers (even if only two.)  But, I suppose that's obviously just my opinion and not theirs.

That message is caused by the server, quite simply, being too overloaded I'm sure.

Yesterday (08/02/05) and Today I haven't been able to connect to coppermine forum, anyone else experiencing the same problem?

[Kindred]

me too...

[kegobeer]

Same for me, and I'm a Coppermine dev!     I can't get any work done...  The SourceForge MySQL server is horrendously overworked.

Hey. How do I get the SSI includes to work in Coppermine? I like to include a universal wrapper, so I was wondering if there was a way I could do this using the SSI and not have errors?

I will be using SMF 1.0.5 and Coppermine 1.3.3.

[kegobeer]

There are conflicting functions in SMF and Coppermine, so you'll get errors.  Those functions have been renamed in the Coppermine beta so SSI will work.  Feel free to try out the Coppermine beta.  The forums aren't working, but you can still get to the downloads page or the CVS.

Coppermine has moved to a new server: http://coppermine-gallery.net/forum.  Update your links!

[ruzster]

Alright... I haven't seen this addressed yet. Sorry if it has been. Instead of my gallery opening in a seperate page, I was hoping to get it to open inside the forum. Just using 'include' isn't working. Any suggestions on where to go with this?

[Kindred]

that is much more complicated and involves modifying templates (on both sides), source files and/or using SSI functions...

[ruzster]

Ahhh..... OK. Thanks.

Hi!!!

I have follow the Dan instructions on the first page, but I am getting the following error(in coppermine):
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/ac99/public_html/coppermine/bridge/smf.inc.php on line 124

Could you help me ?

[Kindred]

looks like you may have deleted a quote that needs to be there...  What did you change in smf.inc.php?

[Carlos Gandra]

I have deleted this:$path = '../smf';
And writte this: $path = '../home/ac99/public_html/SMF';

Is this wrong ?

P.S - If my English looks bad, sorry but I am portuguese...

Try using just $path = '../SMF';.

actually... try this, instead:

$path = '/home/ac99/public_html/SMF';

it's almost always better to use absolute paths when defining the root directory for a bridge.

[Carlos Gandra]

I've tried all, but not works. See it at http://www.mundodosanimais.com/coppermine/

I don't know if it is the problem but I've installed Coppermine at cPanel Fantastico; export the tables of the BD and import them to the SMF database, and finally edit a coppermine file (don't remember the name) to appoint to the new database username and password. I've done this also to integrate Mambo and SMF, importing tables to only one database and it works! Coppermine couldn't be installed by Fantastico?

[Aravot]

Which version of SMF and CPG are you using.

I would suggest make a backup copy of you current 'smf.inc.php' than replac it with a new one

[Carlos Gandra]

Hi!

Coppermine is the version 1.3.2 and SMF is 1.0.5
I will try to replace the smf.inc.php
