Coppermine integration

[OzButcher]

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 =    <-- 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...

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&nbsp; 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 suggest you search / browse the coppermine showcase

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:

Code Select Expand

// Show the [gallery] button.
echo ($current_action=='gallery' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</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 . '">&nbsp;</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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.
