[OBSOLETE] How to Integrate Coppermine with SMF

[Stuart]

Hi,

I just installed Coppermine in it's own subdomain (http://fotoboek.astmaforum.nl) and would like to integrate this with my forum (http://www.astmaforum.nl) though whatever I fill in to relative path to the BBS program, nothing seems to work.

Should Coppermine necessarily be installed at www.astmaforum.nl/whatever or can I use this subdomain to? In that case, what to fill in? I tried loads so help would be very much appreciated 

Cheers,
Stu

So there isn't an option to make it work? Just reinstall it on the same domain as my forum right?

I just reinstalled it and it's now working fantastic

Success.
Coppermine 1.4.8 + SMF 1.1 RC2.

Followed the instructions from Coppermine's official Docs. Works like a charm.

I just switched from phpBB to SMF 1.1 RC3 and have been using Coppermine (1.4.9) for a while (well, this very version went on a couple of days ago, but I have been using Coppermine for a while).

It all went really smoothly and without any probs or hitches.

Just one question, I would like to add a 'Gallery' button to my SMF menu at the top (default template at the moment). How do I go about that?

Please take a look at this: http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=564.0

button works fine, but the php script behind it doesn't ... damn

OK...I got it to bridge just fine....I think.  I am using SMF 1.09 and Coppermine 1.4.8.   I used the Admin Tool Bridge Manager in Coppermine, and it automatically logs me in just fine.  However, I can't post any pictures!  Do I have to do some other step?  Is it an incompatibilty issue?   Any help would be great.

[DaveSmooth]

Oops...I'm running SMF 1.08.

[DaveSmooth]

Maybe a link to both would help.

SMF:  http://www.deepprogressions.com/smf/

Coppermine:  http://www.deepprogressions.com/coppermine/

I don't have a link button on the forum yet, but it looks pretty easy to accomplish that much...besides since I can't seem to find a way to upload pix since I've done the bridge why give the option right now.  Coppermine worked fine before, so I'm sure something was done when the bridge was done.

I hope I'm not seeming pushy here, I just figure the more info I can provide, the easier it might be to come up with a fix.

Currently, I'm leaning toward updating the SMF, since I'm running an older version, but want some feedback since I always manage to screw up upgrading somehow.

Thanks again.

Make sure you have upload permission in coppermine

[DaveSmooth]

I'm the admin of the entire site, wouldn't I by default have upload permission?   Besides, I can't find that option anywhere in SMF or Coppermine.   As I said, Coppermine worked just fine before I bridged the 2 together.

OK..I'm an idiot.  I didn't realize you actually had to add Administrator to the user permissions.  It seems to work now...doh!

[DaveSmooth]

Alright!  I'm making progress, the bridge works great, and pix can be uploaded by all users.  Now, is it possible to match the SMF theme when going to Coppermine?   I've tried searching for answers, but don't really know what to search for.  I've seen some comments about ssi and want to know if that is the answer.  Of course, I have no idea what ssi is, but I can learn I'm sure.

OOPS's I just upgraded SMF to 1.1 final and my "bridge" to Coppermine seems to be partially broken.
It links to Coppermine like always, BUT does not login to Coppermine. Click login in Coppermine and it goes back to login in SMF so it's still partially "bridged" however something in an SMF file must have been overwritten by the upgrade.
Any ideas on what file to edit where to restore the bridge?
Surely (I hope) I'm not the only one. I have no custom themes etc. installed just running SMF default.
Probably just a line or two that needs editing but I can't find it.
Any help appreciated greatly...

[DDT]

Well Coppermine says it's not them...anybody know what might have changed in 1.1 final that would "break the bridge" between the two?

[kegobeer]

I don't know.  I upgraded to 1.1 and my Coppermine bridge works.  Exactly what steps did you take during the upgrade process?

[DDT]

Just upgraded SMF (had to do the download & upload thing, the new web install wouldn't work for me, I tried it...don't know if that did anything but SMF seems OK) re-synced the tables in SMF & a user was trying to post pictures & couldn't register so I checked and it was broke. Every time I tried a login on Coppermine it took me back to SMF where I was already logged in.
So I found some new bridge files on the Coppermine site and uploaded them & tried the bridge manager again. Now if the bridge manager is on I get a "you do not have permission to access this page" error. With it off both work OK but independently.
When I do a versions check in Coppermine I get some "does not exist in Coppermine" errors when clicking SMF bridge, bridge/coppermine.inc.php, etc. although they do exist. I have new versions of some of these files (10) and my install is 9 because I am leery of how to do a full upgrade without erasing all the user photos.
When it wouldn't work after the SMF upgrade I thought it might need new bridge files so I tried those. All files are there, just some of them say "not in Coppermine" when I check in version manager.
I did get a couple of error messages when upgrading SMF but they only appeared briefly (too fast to read) then the install proceeded and everything about SMF seems to work fine (except when I return I am not logged in where before I always was after selecting "forever" on login. Other than that no problems except old mods I had to delete that no longer worked etc.

The code is not matching on the latest version, can you update the post?
Thanks
