Need Help!!

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.

[Atari]

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. 

[Atari]

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
      FROM smf_settings" on 0

mySQL error: Table 'creativespirit_us_-_gallery.smf_settings' doesn't exist


any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Atari,

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

[Atari]

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.

That quote should be:

There are 01 kinds of people in this World.

Shouldn't it?

From the included Coppermine documentation:

It is also recommended that you use the same database for your board and Coppermine (in fact it is even mandatory!).

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

(hmmph, it doesn't have to be mandatory .)

You're counting backwards.  Most significant goes on the left, not right... like so:

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!
