[OBSOLETE] How to Integrate Coppermine with SMF

[taz]

it looks like it would be theme.php in the themes/themename directory.

That's where they were. Thanks. I also took out the Register and Profile buttons.

Yes, That is where mine is at

Do they need to be in the same sub-domain?  Or can they be in 2 seperate sub-domains?

I tried these steps and was not able to access the admin config settings, nor was I able to upload.  So I'm guessing that it wasn't connecting to my SMF members list.

Thank you very much once again Owdy!

I did it & got almost all of it working perfectly.  However, for some reason most member levels are not getting the permission to upload.  So far only Admins & GMods have the ability to upload.  And yes, I did go into groups & set up the permission levels for uploading etc...

In looking through smf.inc.php I see the following section that I am sure is the right spot to change:

Code Select Expand

// Comment this out if you want to default user's group to 'Registered'
// rather than using Post Count based groups.
define('USE_POST_GROUPS', 1);

Does anyone know exactly what it is I change there to make it so that my member groups switch to 'registered'

[IamV]

It's alright - problem solved.

I was using IE & it wasn't showing all the options for each member group in groups.  When I switched to Firefox, I was able to see and access all the options and set them correctly.

is there any way to fix the error message?

as stated... remove the login/logout buttons from the Coppermine theme...

you should be logging in via SMF.

It's a lot easier than you think.  Just follow the directions in my first post.

Just a note to all does who want to try cpg 1.4.1, all these (below) steps have been eliminated in cpg 1.4.1, just user Bridge Manager Wizard found in Admin Tools of cpg.

In /include/init.inc.php, find:

Code Select Expand

// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'smf');

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'smf');

In /bridge/smf.inc.php, find:

Code Select Expand

$path = '../smf';

How do I integrate them when they are running on seperate servers?

[Kindred]

I don't believe that you can integrate SMF and Coppermine on separate servers...

[Seta Soujiro]

why not?

[dtm.exe]

why not?

It's just the way things work.

Is there a mod for XML SOAP services?

[kegobeer]

why not?

Cookies, cookies, cookies... You can't set a cookie on foo.com and then access that cookie on bar.com.  You can have different databases (the current release requires a little modification) though.

Just a word of thanks to Dan,

Normally I use Fantistico to install these things (smf, coppermine etc,.) & it is pretty good for that, but! this integration between smf & coppermine was something I wanted to try out. So, just installed them both on a site without using Fantistico and have the integration thing working like a charm.

The instructions on the Coppermine web site confused me a little at first, but after following Dans brief instructions, they seem a lot clearer now somehow. (well,,,PHP Numpty here)

Cheers Dan!

Beware folks: Contrary to what you may be told, SMF 1.1.B3 is not compatible with the Coppermine Bridge yet. I have now spent over 22 hours working to get our gallery up and running. As the gallery is an integral part of the site (and you cannot regress SMF back to older versions), we now have to find either an alternative gallery or alternative forum (Hope not).
