Coppermine 1.2.1 / vBulletin 3.0.0 Integration

[SpeedStreet]

Coppermine Gallery 1.21 and vBulletin 3.0.0 Integration
Version 1.0
Compiled by SpeedStreet

I'm not the hacker for this; I am merely the guy who poured through all of the threads on vBulletin.org and the Coppermine Development Forums to come up with one definitive post about integrating vBulletin with Coppermine.

WHAT IT DOES:
At the end of this how-to, you're installations of vBulletin and Coppermine will work together off of the same login. While everyone else wants to see all sorts of integration between the two, I believe this is the first step to making those things happen.

CREDITS:
A big thanks to everyone over at Coppermine for a terrific product and the users that support and mod it on a daily basis. I am merely standing on the shoulders of giants here, folks. Also, Nanobot was the guy over there that did the vB3 Gamma bridge, so the credit for that is all his.

FILES TO EDIT (2):
/bridge/vbulletin3.inc.php (Coppermine)
/include/init.inc.php (Coppermine)

HACK REQUIREMENTS:
vBulletin 3.0.0 Installed and Running
Coppermine 1.2.1 Installed and Running
5 Minutes of your time

FINAL WARNINGS:

There are seem to be some issues with people integrating this with forums located on subdomains (e.g. subaruforums.speedstreet.org). Please reference the Coppermine Gamma Thread above for more info.
Please ensure that Coppermine and vBulletin cookies are NOT named the same thing.

[D|ver]

thank you so much

i will install this, when i upgrade to gold :D

[13th_Disciple]

when you say ensure the cookies are not named the same thing.. exactly what do you mean?

for instance, my ".domian.name" cookie would be the same between the two of them.. what is it expecting the name to be or the issues with the cookie itself?

just leave the cookie in coppermine the same. People have said that if you try naming them the same thing, then neither cookie will work right.

Currently, I have my cookie on vBulletin gogin to .speedstreet.org and my cookie from Coppermine going to /.

Of course, you can always try to link the two together, and change back if you have issues.


PS: I would be interested in working with others on additional hacks specifically for Coppermine and vBulletin. if you are interested, PM me and I will see about putting together some sort of group for us.

I'll install it when I upgrade to Gold. Anyway, shouldn't this be in the vb3 hacks forum?

It is....its an integration hack.

[Rampag33]

OMFG ty so much BIG INSTALL HERE
Great work

[ap0c]

will install when I upgrade to gold. Nice work!
What kind of plans do you have for the hacking group?(I know it said pm, so no one else read this part:))

[skinny]

OK, this is the first time installing Coppermine and integrating with vBulletin Gold. INtegrstion worked fine and all seems to be working. However, I would now like to progress further with this and try to integrate this more into my forum.

Speeedstreet, I would be interested in forming a group so that we can hopefully develop Coppermine and vBulltin gold into something a lot more than what we have now.

[Reeve of shinra]

edit: nevermind.

[Acido]

I Have It Running in a vbulletin Powered page, so users in coppermine are showed in Who's On Line locations :cool:

Take a look if you want.

[TheComputerGuy]

Nope..no luck with this...I upgraded from RC3...worked fine until I got on Gold. Any problem I might have over looked?

[SpeedStreet]

The problem more than likely is:

A) Wrong license number
B) You didn't edit init.inc.php to reflect the new file
C) You have renamed your vB tables with a different prefix

Its tough for me to help without knowing what the exact problem is.

[SpeedStreet]

I appreciate all of the responses I have received about starting up an integration team. In the next few days, I'll create a forum that we can begin discussing our needs, wants and desires in...then we can discuss exactly how much of it is possible :D

[martinh4]

Works perfect, nice work. :)

[skinny]

Speedstreet, that would be good. I would be nice to develop this further as there is much potential with this.

Acido, I'd like to see what you've done, but your website just isn't loading for me.

[ap0c]

I upgraded to vb3 last night and didnt need to apply the changes in this thread, it still works

That's correct, ap0c! The existing hack that is on coppermine's website is exactly the same.

This thread was merely a composite of the little fixes and tweaks on their site, plus the addition of an easy to use howto for those coming to coppermine for the first time.

[skinny]

One thing I am experiencing is the inability to log out. Anyone else find this?

[TheComputerGuy]

Awesome. Got it all take care of...simple number error.

good to know, thanks, I have to help upgrade someone else's board

[rocket98]

Hi SpeedStreet,

I tried to integrate CPG1.2.1 with VBGold. I don't have a standard database name had to use what my ISP provided. I do have a running gallery but received "Fatal error: There was an error while processing a database query".

I'm not sure what info you want to see to help.

I replaced the section here with my database name and remove the slashes,

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

Is that correct?

Thanks
rocket98

** addition

I may have solved my own issue on this line in vbulletin3.inc.php

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //
// Nothing to edit below this line
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //
// Prefix and names for the database tables
define('VB_TABLE_PREFIX', ''); // Leave empty, not supported by vBulletin 2.3

I simply added my database prefix and it seems to work. If I click login I get back to vbadvanced homepage where i don't yet have a link to head back to the gallery. Is that correct behaviour. Possible login/logout message in the gallery can just be removed and a link placed there for access back and forth to home page and elsewhere.

Thanks

when i go to users on the coppermine gallery page its not showing my vb board users on it, i know i must of messed up on one of the steps. anyone have any idea which one i might of messed up on or left out?

Nothing.

It does not port the user database from one onto the other. It simply links the two together, and tosses out the Coppermine userdb.

[???`S?LV?R???`]

lol makes sense now, by the way... itll only let registered people on my forums post pics or view this right?

[surfhog]

Help for a newbie please, I have both vbulletin gold and coppermine 1.21 installed and I thought I had installed this intergration modification as well?

I have the gallery working and it appears by looking at my db that I have only one db, so I am assuming that i have installed coppermine intergrated with vbulletin. I have edited the files as per this modification

Now after all that, I have to login seperately for vbulletin and coppermine :( Am I to assume that I have not installed coppermine correctly?

Please and thank you

[Reeve of shinra]

Coppermine should be installed to the vb database. When you log in to coppermine and click on user profile, does it take you to your forums userprofile page?

If it is, then you probably need to change the name of the cookie coppermine is using. If it isn't, then you likely need to re-check the edits you made to the intergration files.

**edit, I am work so I cant log in to my forums database but I believe one of the tables coppermine sets up is labelled as albums. You could check yoru forums db to see if thats in there as a way of double checking that coppermine was installed to the right db.

[surfhog]

thanks very much Reeve of shinra
it appears that i have not integrated coppermine correctly, because when i hit user profile, it goes to coppermine and not vbulletin.

don't ask me how i messed up, the db is as one, but obviously i make a mistake :(

so back to the drawing board for me lol

thanks again

[???`S?LV?R???`]

im getting this at the top of the page "Warning: Wrong parameter count for define() in /home/silver/public_html/gallery/bridge/vbulletin3.inc.php on line 37"

[fasteddie]

I got the integration part to work just fine, but I'm confused as to why only admins or mods can upload pictures on my board right now. The admin interface is not too friendly with coppermine
:(

Have you configured all the user groups?

Interesting. My Admins cannot create their own user galleries :D

I'm still trying to work out the kinks of this hack...there is apparently more than integration.

random quote of yours:D

I figured out why I didnt have to update any files in coppermine, (the init, or bridge file.) I use f5hosting.com , nanobot released a vbulletin.inc.php file on there after rc1 was released. Why the gamma version is still being used on coppermine is probably an oversite. http://www.f5hosting.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1351&page=1

Yeah :) It's time to focus on good, pure innocent hacks versus the drudgery of that "other" conversation I've been talking legalese in.

Is Nanobot ok with the hack being released here? I couldn't find contact information, and GauGau from Coppermine loved the condensed how-to.

[deathemperor]

this is a very wrong forum, this is Integration with vBulletin 2, you should ask mods to move this to Integration with vBulletin 3.
May I know how many MB the Coppermine cost the database in a fresh installation ?

[???`S?LV?R???`]

Heh I think ill uninstall this and wait on it til more of these problems have been worked out..

I have no problem with the hack being release here, I did not do it myself as I do not really have the time to support it.

I modified the bridge to work just perfect with vbulletin RC4.

Sasuke,

This hack is for vB3 Gold. Please refrain from posting legacy hacks for outdated Release Candidates.

AE Silver AE,

This hack has the kinks worked out of it....any minor little glitch has to deal with Coppermine. The hack provides the exact effect it is supposed to have.

[OGT]

Nothing.

It does not port the user database from one onto the other. It simply links the two together, and tosses out the Coppermine userdb.

when I click on the users link, it goes to a 404. the file usermgr.php is there though, so I assume one of the includes is borked? I am expecting to see a userlist similar to the group list i see when I click on groups in the admin bar.

I also am now having troubles adding albums as an admin. a test user had it work great.

I think there are still some cookie issues too... here is my setup and the symptoms:

vbull location is www.mysite.com/forums
vbull cookie prefix is vbull
path to save is /
domain to effect is blank

coppermine location is www.mysite.com/jdgallery
cookie name is cpg11d (prefix = name?)
path is /

When users go to board, they are logged in, everything works great. When they go to gallery, it says they are logged out. If they refresh the page they are shown as logged in. When administrating the board, it seems like everything will go fine, then after the third or fourth save theres a permission denied error and i need to go back tot he site and then return back to the gallery and refresh to show up as logged in again to continue administrating.

I also have the issue with admins no longer being able toa dministrate. At first, all was working well, then when I tried to make some albums, I lost all admin priviledges.

Hope we can get this worked out, it seems like its really close to at elast having full user/group integration, which is what I think is most important. CSS and style integration will come with time I'm sure.

[GregorS]

Hi!

I want integrate the usergallery in the userprofile from vbulletin. How can i do this?
Other users should see also the userpictures in the userprofile from every user (browse over Memberlist and click a user to see his profile and pictures..)

Is this realizable???
I use vb 3.0 gold.....

i would like to set another usergroup than the admingroup to have admin access at the gallery

is that possible?

maybe it has to do something with these lines

// Group definitions (default values used by the board)
define('VB_VALIDATING_GROUP', 3);
define('VB_GUEST_GROUP', 1);
define('VB_MEMBERS_GROUP', 2);
define('VB_ADMIN_GROUP', 6);

can anyone help?

Insofar as I know, this is done by altering the Usergroups directly in Coppermine. I've tried this, and the UGs propogate perfectly...its jsut all the other issues I am dealing with now.

ive installed this and i think it works but how do u integrate it into the forum?? eg have it with the fourms headed & nav bar etc?

I have exactly the same problem.. I log to the forum and all is ok, i change to gallery, and figures that i logged out.. but i press refresh and still logged out.. i solve by this way.. i log into vb3, i go to gallery, and shows me logged out, enter the options of IE6 SP1, delete all cokies, and SHOWS ME LOGGED IN as ADMIN... this is a really ugly bug.. what manner i can solve this?

In spanish:

como comente mas arriba, yo logoneo en el vb3, cambio a la galeria y me figura deslogoneado, voy a las opciones de internet explorer, borro los cookies, y me aparece logoneado con el usuario del vbulletin 3, y como administrador ( mi usuario es admin). Hay alguna manera de resolver esto?

well, the bridge to vbulletin is pretty simple to use. All what i made was create a vbulletin powered page with a IFRAME pointed to the coppermine gallery.

You can create you vbulletin powered page, following the instruction on this thread:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62164

If you want, i can give you my template for the gallery pages. Just send me a PM.

Saludos! ;)

[GamerzWorld]

Followed all steps but when i went back to install it said there was an install.lock and to delete if i wanted to use. So i deleted but now its offering to install whole thing again. I install it using Fanrastico

[PVO_Dave]

Works for the users, but not for the Admins? Everytime we try to upload we get: Sorry there is no album where you are allowed to upload pictures

WTF is going on?

Have checked and Admin has the same rights as the Registered users and have tried switching to user mode!

Help! :)

Dave.

all of us are having this issue as far as i know dave

Works fine on my customer site...

[chas_h]

My integration of Vb-3 and Coppermine survived the upgrade from Gold to VB3.01, but there is one small issue left to fix. When I log out from the gallery there is a VB error, it requires an extra click to log off. This was happening on my forums too after the upgrade but I fixed it with help from this thread at the VB community forum;

See this thread here. (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=102599&highlight=error+occurred+attempting+out.+Click)

Is there anyway that someone can work this fix into the bridge file for Coppermine? I don't know enough about php to attemp that myself.

Tia,
Chas.

[OGT]

OK, i did some scouring and came up with the following fixes to some of our issues.

To solve the board confusion with having to refresh to stay logged in and out, go into forumdir/includes/config.php and change the cookie prefix to ''

To get rid of the HTTP notices, follow the instructions in this link:
http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/board/index.php?topic=5191.msg22808#msg22808

if your users link in coppermine returns a 404, go into the vbulletin3.inc.php file and search for admincp, and replace it with what your admincp directory is renamed to.

The remaining issues I am having are as follows, and i posted this int he vb3 gold integration thread as well:

if a user sets the permissions on a user album to a specific group, it locks out admins, but admins can still view images from that group.

if a user sets the permissions on a user album to a specific group, members that have that group as a secondary group cant view the album.

when logged into coppermine as admin, the usermode link just says its taking you out of admin mode, and puts you right back into admin mode.

[Buddha]

i've had a few issues as well, but was able to fix everything and it all works like a charm now... fully integrated.

the one thing that kept me puzzled for a while was the fact that in admin mode i could upload pics but in usermode i could not. seems i had not set the album properties to allow me to do so... once i did that, i was cooking. everything works great now.

[OGT]

Buddha, do you use any groups outside of hte traditional vBull groups, and are you using secondary groups at all?

How are your forums and gallery organized? www.website.com/forums and www.website.com/gallery?

[will_lean]

THANKS
worked great for me on 3.0.1.
i do have one question though can anyone tell me how i can intergrate this into a vb template so when they view the gallery it shows the navbar and footer for vb?

[Buddha]

ohgeetee, i have like, 4 or 5 extra groups on my forum... i have a dummy tester account that i created and whenever i make changes, i use that account and test by changing the usergroups on that account... and i was able to do everything with that account as well as mine after i'd configured the usergroups in coppermine first.

as for where they are installed...

subdomain.domain.com - forum (in a subdomain)
subdomain.domain.com/gallery - coppermine (it's installed in a folder within the root of the forum install)

will_lean... use the 'extra pages powered by vB hack'... link is in this thread. then in the main table where the content goes, insert an iFrame. worked perfect for me.

[Bigwrenn]

I just tried the integration and what happens is when I try to login it returns me to the forums home. Now when I login and click on gallery it doesn;t show the options for uploading for any users. I have CP and vB installed on the same database and when I check the tables of CP it doesn't show as if it has been integrated. What could be the problem?
Thanks,
Bigwrenn

[will_lean]

i dont think it will show you that its intergrated with coppermine because really coppermine is just using the vb db for authentication.

@buddha
DOH "Iframe" LOL thats one thing i did not try!! :nervous:
thanks.

[Bigwrenn]

What I meant by "integrated" is the user table. If the integration was succesful then when you look at the CP user table then you should see the vB user's. Basically what is happening is when I click on the gallery it goes to it and doesn't give me any admin options. I'm trying to figure out if it's a cookie problem(domain is set to .mysite.com and cookie path is /) or did I miss something that's been updated that I need to download.
-Bigwrenn

[Cloudrunner]

I'm not sure if this will fix any other issues, but for those with VB 3.0 and the included vbulletin30.inc.php running the 1.3 beta of Coppermine, I have figgered out the issue with not having the system recognize you as being logged in from the VB side of the house.

Basically it is a simple change in the naming of the cookie information that VB uses.

Follow along with me:

in the vbulletin30.inc.php find the following:

// The web path to your vBulletin Board directory
// In this example http://yoursite_name.com/vbulletin3/
define('VB_WEB_PATH', '/vbulletin3/');

directly below that add the following:

// Enter your VB 3.0 Cookies prefix if applicable
// This was defined in your Vbulletin config.php file when you installed VB
// Double-check this to be sure you don't have one
define('VB_COOKIE_PREFIX', '');

Then find the following lines:

if (is_array($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS)) {
$sessionhash = isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['sessionhash']) ? $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['sessionhash'] : '';
$bbuserid = isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbuserid']) ? $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbuserid'] : 0;
$bbpassword = isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbpassword']) ? $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbpassword'] : '';
}

and replace it with the following (the quick ones will notice the difference immediately):

if (is_array($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS)) {
$sessionhash = isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[VB_COOKIE_PREFIX . 'sessionhash']) ? $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[VB_COOKIE_PREFIX . 'sessionhash'] : '';
$bbuserid = isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[VB_COOKIE_PREFIX . 'userid']) ? $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[VB_COOKIE_PREFIX . 'userid'] : 0;
$bbpassword = isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[VB_COOKIE_PREFIX . 'password']) ? $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[VB_COOKIE_PREFIX . 'password'] : '';
}

I haven't yet figgered out the logout error yet, but I will.

FYI: This is based on an installation of VB 3.0.1 and Coppermine 1.3.0 Beta 4 using the following directory structure and cookie structure:

http://yourdomain.com/forum/
http://yourdomain.com/gallery/

VB cookiedomain: www.yourdomain.com
VB cookiepath: /

Gallery cookie name: *something other than what VB is using*
Gallery cookiepath: /

Hope that this helps.

Enjoy!

I greatly appreciate you helping me out. Just as I figured out what I was doing wrong, I came here and saw the post of yours. So it's fixed now and again, I thank you for your time!:D
-Bigwrenn

[Cloudrunner]

Okay, before I step all over anyone else's toes I need to know, is anyone working on a full integration between these two?

If not I would like to spearhead one, as I will be doing it as of tonight for my forums as copperhead is exactly what I've been looking for for a long time for my site.

If I do not receive a response by Friday I will assume that there is no one doing it, and I will start on it.

[Bigwrenn]

I think there might be a couple of people working on this allready. I vaguely remember seeing something about it on here in the last couple of days! As of right now I'm working on doing this but I'm fairly new to vb and php so it will take me some time to do it. If I have any breakthru's in the next couple of days I will post them so hopefully it will help other's wanting to do this also.

will this work with Coppermine 3 beta 4 and ofcourse vbulletin 3.0.1? Thanks!

[ap0c]

Okay, before I step all over anyone else's toes I need to know, is anyone working on a full integration between these two?

If not I would like to spearhead one, as I will be doing it as of tonight for my forums as copperhead is exactly what I've been looking for for a long time for my site.

If I do not receive a response by Friday I will assume that there is no one doing it, and I will start on it.
if speedstreet doesnt respond, go for it!

[Ian Gratton]

Hi There,

I am trying to integrate coppermine 1.3.0 beta4 into my vBulleting 3.01 installation.

So far so good - I have followed all the instructions for configuring the bridge and authentication is working fine - when I click the login button it authenticates me against my vbulletin details and then I appear logged on as that user in coppermine.

This leads me to believe that all the linkages between the two are working perfectly.

Prior to integrating the two solutions I created sample albums (both as an admin and regular user) and I could upload pictures perfectly (or at least after messing about with directory permissions).

Now the two are integrated I get a strange error when I click the upload file link in coppermine. Instead of getting the page asking me to browse files or enter URLs I get valid page back - but instead of including the form - the page contains a table whose heading is 'Error'

The message centered in the table is

Invalid action for form creation.

Anyone have any ideas ?

A few more bits of info.

IIS 6.0 on Win 2003 server
manual PHP 4.3.6 running via ISAPI filter with GD2 extension enabled.

I am certain somebody will know how to fix this - my users are very eager to upload.

Kind Regards

Ian.

[badpacket]

thanks cloudrunner! that fixed my problem, but i'm having the logout issue also :/

hopefully you'll find something *if I figure it out i'll be sure to let you all know*

[gfxmods]

errer, not 100% il try to fix myself but im posting so if you know you can help

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'bridge/vbulletin3.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/gfxmodsc/public_html/copper/include/init.inc.php on line 149

[gfxmods]

ok i fixed that my ftp just didnt put it under bridge, only thing is when im in i clicked admin mode and instead i got the vb admin area, any help?

also now when i click log in so i can log in as the original admin instead i click login it uses this url

http://gfxmods.com/copper/login.php?referer=copper

and it goes to my boards front page :tired:

[Drowned]

Worked perfectly... best hack yet... some of you people having trouble with members uploading pictures, try editing the album properties and choose YES to upload pictures... this a whole different thing from editing the user group permission... you have to do both...

BTW, any ideas how to integrate the navbar?

[xfaethorx]

ok big problem...

coppermine 1.2.1
vbulletin 3.0.1

coppermine is installed vb is up and running (has been for ages) coppermine is installed into vbulletin database.

I click on the login i get redirected to the forum , so I made the hack change as describe a page back..I still get the same problem.

If i try to do anything coppermine tells me that I don't have any rights but the intergration seems ok..

thing is I don't know enough about the new vb or coppermine to work out whats up.

[Vega]

Is it possible to have a link in the Users Profile to there private gallery? If so, how to do that?

thanks in advance

[forum4games]

if anyone is working on getting this to work with your vbulletin layout you may wanna take a look at the new invision version as it has full integration

[croft]

well this hack works lovely =)
All i need now is a way to post the latest pictures on the forum home like photopost.

Is there anyway i can do that ?

[croft]

ohh yes and i have same trouble as the most of the users here.
I can upload pictures in admin mode but when i switch to usermode im unable to upload. It says i have no albums where im not alowed to upload in ?????

[Vega]

Looks like Users aren't recognised as Users. I had the same problem here. I allowed Guests to upload pictures and all Users were able to upload. ;)

[croft]

yeah i tryed that to and no go here =(

[Lee Wilde]

Cloudrunner thank you very much for those code fixes, worked like a charm. Greatly appreciated.

[Lee Wilde]

At the risk of sounding like a total fool....how much disk quota should I allow for members to upload images? What are the rest of you allowing for this?

I'm so excited about this. Have y'all seen all the extra themes available on sourceforge??

[badpacket]

I just used the default of 2mb.. since i'm still working on the site I dont know if this is enough or too much.. we'll see when i go live.. :)

btw has anyone gotten this to work with 1.3? i had to revert back to 1.2 :/

[Mijae]

Does this integration use vB's templates for the gallery?

[Vega]

Does this integration use vB's templates for the gallery?
Nope. Uses it's own Templates.

Yes, I've got vb3.0.1 and cpg 1.3 integrated.

My site is still under construction but you can check it out at http://www.cbdpeople.com.au/gallery/

Now I am trying to figure out a way of showing the vb navbar & login box on the cpg pages, to make moving between /forums/ and /gallery/ as seemless as possible.

[RetroDreams]

Cloudrunner: Any plans for your integration?

[RetroDreams]

One more time... Cloudrunner?

[Super91]

I tryed the code too, did'nt work, im also getting this error at the top of the page:

Notice: Constant VB_COOKIE_PREFIX already defined in /home/nrizk/public_html/gallery/bridge/vbulletin30.inc.php on line 49


When i click on login it goes back to the forums...no work :( i did the hack still no luck..

[Super91]

Ok i got rid of the error as per my previous post, but now it still just goes back to the forums....any help?!? please

[Mijae]

Anyone working on a more complete integration?

I just installed CPG and intergrated it to vB3, it works perfectly. If you could use forum templates it would rock even more.

The other thing, is to get this to show up on the who's online list. Anyone want to work on that? :P

[corvettecrew]

I also did the hack, and I am also having the login problem still. :(

[HellRazor]

I'm not sure if this will fix any other issues, but for those with VB 3.0 and the included vbulletin30.inc.php running the 1.3 beta of Coppermine, I have figgered out the issue with not having the system recognize you as being logged in from the VB side of the house.

Basically it is a simple change in the naming of the cookie information that VB uses.

Follow along with me:

in the vbulletin30.inc.php find the following:

// The web path to your vBulletin Board directory
// In this example http://yoursite_name.com/vbulletin3/
define('VB_WEB_PATH', '/vbulletin3/');

directly below that add the following:

// Enter your VB 3.0 Cookies prefix if applicable
// This was defined in your Vbulletin config.php file when you installed VB
// Double-check this to be sure you don't have one
define('VB_COOKIE_PREFIX', '');

Then find the following lines:

if (is_array($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS)) {
$sessionhash = isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['sessionhash']) ? $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['sessionhash'] : '';
$bbuserid = isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbuserid']) ? $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbuserid'] : 0;
$bbpassword = isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbpassword']) ? $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbpassword'] : '';
}

and replace it with the following (the quick ones will notice the difference immediately):

if (is_array($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS)) {
$sessionhash = isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[VB_COOKIE_PREFIX . 'sessionhash']) ? $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[VB_COOKIE_PREFIX . 'sessionhash'] : '';
$bbuserid = isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[VB_COOKIE_PREFIX . 'userid']) ? $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[VB_COOKIE_PREFIX . 'userid'] : 0;
$bbpassword = isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[VB_COOKIE_PREFIX . 'password']) ? $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[VB_COOKIE_PREFIX . 'password'] : '';
}

I haven't yet figgered out the logout error yet, but I will.

FYI: This is based on an installation of VB 3.0.1 and Coppermine 1.3.0 Beta 4 using the following directory structure and cookie structure:

http://yourdomain.com/forum/
http://yourdomain.com/gallery/

VB cookiedomain: www.yourdomain.com
VB cookiepath: /

Gallery cookie name: *something other than what VB is using*
Gallery cookiepath: /

Hope that this helps.

Enjoy!

Worked for me, thanks!!!

[allhandl]

Im running an integrated 1.2.1 Coppermine with Vb 3.0.1 flawlessly for while now. I just recently decided to make some of my albums "members only" which seems to be doing the trick for getting people to register.

The problem is when someone registers for the first time they do so thru VB obviously. When they are done registering it it brings them back into the forum as normal and they are recognized as registered on the 'forum' but not the Coppermine board. In order for Coppermine to take, they have to log out & then log back in. After they have done that everything is cool.

Any ideas on a fix? whether it be a forced logout on the Vb side or a cookie on the CM side?

thanks in advance

[MissKalunji]

I run Vb 3.3
I have the Copermine 1.2.1

Everything works fine
only dat i have no administrator pass......
I am log in.... but theres no admin area nuthing :ermm: what did i do wrong??

Just like i wasnt log in :o

If iw anna log in it brings me to my forum... and it stays there... it doesnt bring me back to the gallery

[MissKalunji]

Its okay i figured it out :o

[yinyang]

Its okay i figured it out :o

how'd you figure it out? i'm having the identical problem.

[njsr]

Anyone had any luck with Coppermine 1.3.1 and vBulletin 3.0.3 yet?

[MissKalunji]

Just renamed the Cookies in the bridge file....it was " " <-- i used the same one in the vbulletin script (cookies)

[58sniper]

Alright - I've got a question. Last time I tried to do the Coppermine migration, it complained that you can't have usernames with spaces in them, and can't have complex passwords (with non alpha-numeric characters). Is this still the case? My one site requires first & last name as username, and many have complex passwords. I can't make them change that just for this feature.

Thanks!

I doubt it............many users uses spaces with their name.......and they have no problem.....

Im running the vb 3.01 with coppermine 1.2.1 and was having the log in errors which would require me to log out and then back in again w/ new registars. Hell Razor your post fixed me up. Im now running flawlessly. Good work

Quick question. Why is our license number required in this script? No other hacks require it.

Ok guys, thanks to that PM I got today (Thanks :D), I got the "invalid form" thing fixed, and then I had the logon issue. Then I applied that fix and I got that thing fixed, but there is this error at the top of my gallery:

Notice: Constant VB_COOKIE_PREFIX already defined in /home/.rafferty/palmforu/palmforums.org/gallery/bridge/vbulletin30.inc.php on line 49

How do i fix that?

EDIT - Ok, I fixed it. Thanks anyway :).

[Blam Forumz]

There doesnt appear tobe any error when I install it, but it only see's one user, me,

do i have to install it before i edit the files or edit the files then install??

Yeah works fine on mine...

[aranthorn]

I'm still getting the login loop with VB3.0.3 and Coppermine 1.3.1. I have yet to hear the soloution for this one. I'm ready to just drop coppermine all together. I had it working with VB3.0.1, but there's a bug somewhere in the integration with VB3.0.3. I comb their support forum, but all I see is responses that the bridge file works, but it doesn't. The support from the developer is extremely condescending. I know it's open source and therefore free, but jeez, you'd think that when someone is 'stuck' and several people post the same problem, they'd be a little bit helpful. My impression is that they want people to use Nuke and really don't care if it works with anything else. There's far better support here than over there.

So, if anyone has any ideas, that'd be great. If I somehow manage to get it going, I'll definately post it here.

did you fix the cookie settings in the vbulletin (from copermine) ??

[Bigwrenn]

Open your config.php in your includes folder and look for this:

// Prefix that all vBulletin cookies will have
// For example
$cookieprefix = '/';


Change your cookie prefix in coppermine to what you have your vb cookie prefix set to. That should do the trick.

If you don't have your cookie prefix set in your config.php then set it to whatever you have set in your vbulletin options and make sure that coppermine's cookie prefix matches!

Hi all,

vBulletin 3.0.3
Coppermine 1.3

Both function fine as standalone. I've got the integration working also except i get the above message at the top of the page in Coppermine.

I've got Coppermine, vB and the config.php in vB all set to "/" as my cookie prefix. Any ideas to get rid of that notice in Coppermine??

[misticjeff]

hate to do it gang, sorry mods....

bump........

Need Help! reference previous post ^^^^^^


Edit: I figured out the problem... too many cookie prefixes defined, had to comment one out.

[Quelyn]

Thanks for that post, the cookie thing did it for me :D

[Rahzel_hx]

so confused what does it do? >_<

[misticjeff]

Probably not the correct place to post this but here goes....

I have Coppermine 1.3.0 running with vBAdvanced and vBulletin 3.0.3 and Coppermine does a TERRIFIC job of acting as a download module.

Coppermine supports .wmv, .zip, .rar and other file formats, so i've setup seperate albums for each download I wish to have.

Take a look here:

http://www.misticriver.net/photos/

[AshAbed]

Ok I'm having some trouble getting this to work
http://wecometoplay.com/coppermine/
I've installed coppermine and vBulletin was already installed, I uploaded the vbulletin3.inc.php into the coppermine main directory... now what do I do after that exactly?

[misticjeff]

More than I could explain here but take a look at the users manual at the bottom where it discusses integration. I followed it step by step and it worked fine.

http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/manual.php

[Billspaintball]

Well Im stuck in the same stupid login loop that has affected so many others :(

Change your cookie prefix in coppermine to what you have your vb cookie prefix set to. That should do the trick.
How can we find what our vb cookie prefix is?
Its not listed in "Cookies and HTTP Header Options" in the admin cp.

Ive also had a look in config.php as someone suggested, but I did not have any reference to cookies in there either.

[Quelyn]

Ok I'm having some trouble getting this to work
http://wecometoplay.com/coppermine/
I've installed coppermine and vBulletin was already installed, I uploaded the vbulletin3.inc.php into the coppermine main directory... now what do I do after that exactly?

The latest version of Coppermine has a bridge folder with all the necessary files. You just need to follow the instructions that come with it in a text file and change your settings in the bridge file. Then you have to uncomment the bridge in an init file. I would get the newest CPG and run it that way. Also make sure you check the folder your forums are using for cookies (as detailed below) and correlate it with the one for CPG

Finding your cookie prefix for VBulletin. Open up your Config.php from your includes file and lines 183 to 188 should look like this:

// Prefix that all vBulletin cookies will have

// For example

$cookieprefix = 'bb';


That's the same prefix you should use on line 45 in the bridge file (included with the latest CPG)

define('VB_COOKIE_PREFIX', 'bb'); // Cookie Prefix, not supported by vBulletin 2

It's typically BB, but there's a chance it's something else..

[tnguy3n]

this is weird. I got it worked on my RC4, but ain't no longer working ever since I upgrade to Gold & 3.0.3. anyone has the same problem?

[seangworld]

i am running cpg 1.3.2 and vb 3.0.2 and it's running GREAT.
http://www.dabombcrew.com

[mattster2002]

I've got cpg 1.3.2 and vb 3.0.3 cant seem to get it intergrated, I've checked all my cookie settings flopped and changed them and still not working. This is so frustrating.

The problem is, the user appears to login and logout fine in vbulletin, but on coppermine it doesnt change, still has the same not logged in page :(

[Deimos]

It integrates aok, but i can't upload images via the User mode, but I can via the Admin mode?
I've checked permissions and they all seem ok... :/

[mhobelsb]

same for me. i have a vbulletin 3.0.3 running and installed coppermine 1.3.2. After the changes (followed the instructions) if i point to the galerie i am not logged in. if i klick on the login in the galerie i am redirekted to the forum. But no matter if i log in there, in the galerie i am still not logged in.

also changed the cookie prefix. not working here...

[Mattius]

Im trying 3.0.3 and 1.3.2....the latest coppermine, and i get the logout errors and i cant upload images as admin or user...

Anyone else have any success, ive tried every combination i can think off.

[Bigwrenn]

Everyone who is having a login problem or upload permission problem try this. Go to your admincp and in the vbulletin options menu click on the cookies and HTTP header options. Set your your cookie domain up like this: ".yourdomainname.com" and make sure your path to save cookies is "/". Of course don't use the quotation marks and insert your domain name where it says "yourdomainname" and after you have everything setup save it :D. Then go to the config setup in coppermine and down near the bottom you'll see cookies settings. There is a input box labeled "Path of the cookies used by the script" in that box make sure it has this: "/".

Next open up your vbulletin30.inc.php file and make sure you have everything entered corrctly. In the init.inc.php file make sure you have the vbulletin30.inc.php uncommented. After doing all of this make sure you clear out your cache and clean your cookies of your machine. Then when you return to your site make sure you first sign in at the vbulletin side of things first. Then go to your coppermine gallery and check that all your albums have the "Visitors can upload files" checked in the properties of each album. After that you should be good to go and I hope this helps.

Thank you

$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"$userinfo[location]\">$userinfo[location]</a>";
break;

between other case
and after

else

}
return $userinfo;
}

i add:

else if (strpos($token, "/gallery/") !== false)
{
{
$userinfo['activity'] = 'gallery';
}
return $userinfo;
}


but it doesn't work
someone can help me?

[anagarically]

well... i am having problems getting it working... i have tried every fix that is on here.

i started out with coppermine in a sub-directory of my vbulletin... i got coppermine working just fine standalone... but... when i tried to integrate... no go...

i deleted the install.. and the database.. and started over... i installed in a fresh directory in my web-directory.. with a fresh database... install went perfect and standalone is good...

i configured the vbulletin30 file in bridge correctly... with all the information... including the cookiesprefix and all... i logged out of both.. cleared cookies.. logged into vbulletin... tried to go to coppermine... was not logged in... when i click on login... it goes to my forum... and that is still logged in... so... i don't know... any help would be appreciated.... thank you

To make the integration work you must install the coppermine gallery on the same database as your vBulletin. In other words install on the database that your vBulletin uses. Hope this helps.
Bigwrenn

[Raven34]

Well everything seemingly went smooth. Had vbulletin 3.03 already installed on my server. I installed coppermine and tested it and all worked fine as standalone.
I followed the integration instructions and now have a couple problems.
the first is it wont login and shows only 1 user we have 40 users on the boards. the second is after I login if i go to the admin i get this error.
You don't have permission to access /photos/config.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Now im completely lost. Tried checking all the cookies with exception from admin side of coppermine since i can access it lol
Uncommented cleaned the cache etc. Still same thing.
Any ideas what the problem may be.
Thanks
Coleen

[bendigo-tech]

I noticed that there are issues with people with forums in a sub-domain but what if coppermine is in a sub-domain???

My setup is like this:
http://www.website.com.au - Forums.
http://gallery.website.com.au - Coppermine

Seems to work fine until I click login through coppermine... then it just loops for about 2 minutes and says the page can't be found.

Any ideas???

Thanks.

[NightWalk8r]

Alright guys, i dunno i found something that could possibly help someone out. If when you click on the Login/Logout link and get an error with something like http:// not found or something.

Try this.

Find:
header('Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . VB_WEB_PATH . $target);

Replace:
header('Location: ' . VB_WEB_PATH . $target);

Oh yeah, make backup because i'm no expert or anything..... just thought that this might be able to help someone.

I am using CPG 1.3.2 integrated with VB 3.0.1...

Yesterday, i noticied a strange problem... if i logon to the board without checking whether to stay permanently logged on, then the whenever i go to the album, i am redirected back to the page i requested from!

And if, i select the checkbox to stay forever logged in, then it allows me to see the album easily!
Can anyone tell me wats the problem?

Note, i have added those few lines from FAQ which prevent unregistered users from seeing the CPG!

I've read carefully the issues on cookies and thought I had it fixed nicely, integration seemed fine but .........

If i logon to the board without checking whether to stay permanently logged on, then the whenever i go to the album, i am redirected back to the page i requested from!

And if, i select the checkbox to stay forever logged in, then it allows me to see the album easily!

I have the same issue.

I also have a more important one; if I try and "Upload File" I get the following message displayed on the screen
"Invalid action for form creation".

Any ideas?

When I edit the coppermine init file and comment out the vbulletin line, the error goes away.

Could it be that I am running Coppermine v1.3.2 and vBulletin v3.03 instead of Coppermine v1.21 and vBulletin v3.00?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: udb_util_filloptions() in /usr/home/tickah/public_html/coppermine/util.php on line 443

When I edit the coppermine init file and comment out the vbulletin line, the error goes away.

Could it be that I am running Coppermine v1.3.2 and vBulletin v3.03 instead of Coppermine v1.21 and vBulletin v3.00?

Help
Any help with my problem would be appreciated.

[msmartinwsx]

Just to note.. we are not using a prefix with the VB database - but are using a prefix with the Coppermine gallery - would this be the problem?

M

Sorted... I had to add "bb" to the VB cookie prefix below this line;

"// Nothing to edit below this line"

:/

[Ganon]

Installed, works great, thanks!

[version2]

coppermine 1.3.2 and vb 3.0.3 user here

I've read carefully the issues on cookies and thought I had it fixed nicely, integration seemed fine but .........



I have the same issue.



I also have a more important one; if I try and "Upload File" I get the following message displayed on the screen "Invalid action for form creation".

Any ideas?
I get the same error. Its driving me crazy. I cant find that error text anywhere in the code either. Using the latest vb bridge and the latest coppermine I cant even get the bridge working. No errors, it just wont automatically log folks in. Press login and it directs back to the main site page.

Using these instructions:

http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/board/index.php?topic=12304.0

I was able to get folks logged in, but then I get the 'FORM CREATION' error shown above.

[Tau]

well... i am having problems getting it working... i have tried every fix that is on here.

i started out with coppermine in a sub-directory of my vbulletin... i got coppermine working just fine standalone... but... when i tried to integrate... no go...

i deleted the install.. and the database.. and started over... i installed in a fresh directory in my web-directory.. with a fresh database... install went perfect and standalone is good...

i configured the vbulletin30 file in bridge correctly... with all the information... including the cookiesprefix and all... i logged out of both.. cleared cookies.. logged into vbulletin... tried to go to coppermine... was not logged in... when i click on login... it goes to my forum... and that is still logged in... so... i don't know... any help would be appreciated.... thank you
We have the exact same problem and are using the same DB. Checked/cleared all cookies etc.

Any further suggestions?

Matt

That's also the problem that I'm having. I click login on the gallery and it chucks me out to my forum page where I'm already logged in. :/

[siempre]

That's also the problem that I'm having. I click login on the gallery and it chucks me out to my forum page where I'm already logged in. :/

I'm too. Not yet solution integration vbulletin 3.0.3 and coppermine 1.3.2 (we can't log in admin)

:disappointed:

[Aeolian]

1. Have the vb Forum installed.

2. Edit the file "vbulletin30.inc.php" under bridge folder (coppermine)

//NOTE : Your vBulletin license number is provided at the top of every php file in your vBulletin installation!
define('VB_CUST_NO', 'xxxxxxxx'); // Your vBulletin license number (NOT your customer number)
define('VB_DB_NAME', 'forum'); // The name of the database used by the board
define('VB_BD_HOST', 'localhost'); // The name of the database server
define('VB_DB_USERNAME', 'username'); // The username to use to connect to the database
define('VB_DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // The password to use to connect to the database

You can Find the licence number in any of the forum files (at the beginning)

3. Again edit the file "vbulletin30.inc.php" under bridge folder (coppermine)

define('VB_TABLE_PREFIX', 'FIND1'); // Leave empty, not supported by vBulletin 2.3
define('VB_USER_TABLE', 'user'); // The members table
define('VB_SESSION_TABLE', 'session'); // The sessions table
define('VB_GROUP_TABLE', 'usergroup'); // The groups table
define('VB_COOKIE_PREFIX', 'FIND2'); // Cookie Prefix, not supported by vBulletin 2


To get FIND1 and FIND2 download "config.php" from your server with FTP (path forumroot/includes/config.php)

Now search for
$tableprefix =
this value is your FIND1 (the value after '=' sign)

Again search for
$cookieprefix =
this value is your FIND2 (the value after '=' sign)


4. Open the file "init.inc.php" under include folder (coppermine)

then search for
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'vbulletin30');
replace with
define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'vbulletin30');

5. Now install the coppermine in the same database and user/pass as vb forum.

Now this should fix all the problems and set you FREE!

[JD210]

Installed according to the above directions, and when I try to go to coppermine after install, I get this:

sorry, i've tried three times with no luck, sure everything worked, but it was like being totally on a different board, and thats not for me.

[w0z]

Sowwy my n00b question, but is anyone using this Hack in vB 3.0.4 ?

I followed the Aeolian's instructions about Setting up Coppermine 1.3.2 and vB 3.0.3 and I'm using them currently on my production 3.0.3 vB and everything works like a charm. :)

I was just wondering, if there is anything special about this Hack, that I should pay attention for if I upgrade my vB to 3.0.4 ? O_o

Cheers,

Ok 1st of all r u using the vbulletin30.inc.php file provided in vb.org? u should use the vbulletin30.inc.php file that comes with the cpg package.




w0z:
The hack should work fine with vb 3.0.4 (though i have not updated my forum yet, too many mods :confused: )

[UnknownServices]

Are we supposed to install Coppermine and then use the integration or install after we use the integation? If install with integration, how do I uninstall?

[Aeolian]

Are we supposed to install Coppermine and then use the integration or install after we use the integation? If install with integration, how do I uninstall?
1. install vb
2. make necessary changes to vbulletin30.inc.php
3. install cpg

to uninstall just remove the gallery, as it does not create any table in mysql.. just uses the vb table.

[nicedreams]

I still get the login loop in 3.0.5.

I set the cookies paths both to /
I set the cookie prefix to bb as it is in vb.
I have no table prefixes in vb, so left that blank.

I can't get into admin in either vb or coppermine anymore.

UGH. What's wrong?

Jim

-- I figured out that my cookies were corrupted.

[daniboye]

Hi, i installed the intergration and the gallery seemed to be looking at the database of the forum ok, but wen i clcik to log in to the image gallery i got apage cannot be found, media.thetechaven/screenshotshttp :S:S:S nay ideas?

[smsmasters]

Ok, my forum is at http://www.smsmasters.co.uk/forum/
Copperming works when I log in from http://www.smsmasters.co.uk/downloads/
but I can't log in from the subdomain http://downloads.smsmasters.co.uk

Help please

[Rambo]

Hey,

Installed this fine =D..I installed coppermine through the script library in my cPanel, It installed into a different database than the one my forums are installed in, still works fine for me, intergrated it fine, or atleast i believe so...But my question is, when you go to Users in the Coppermine AdminCP place does it redirect you to the Vbulletin AdminCP or does it show you a list of users in the coppermine? hopefully i explained that correctly.

Also, curious if it is possible to allow only certain usergroups to be able to access the gallery? If so how?

Help would be appreciated =D.

[Bigwrenn]

I upgraded to 3.0.6 and now the integration doesn't seem to work. Anyone else having this problem?

[jlaine]

I upgraded to 3.0.6 and now the integration doesn't seem to work. Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah, it wasn't working for me at first..

I was running 'VB_COOKIE_PREFIX' on the bridge empty with 3.0.1 - and with this upgrade actually had to set it to 'bb' to get it to function right.

For some reason initially I couldn't run it as 'bb' - but now it works properly.

[Aeolian]

VB 3.0.6 has not made any change to their s/w that will not make this integration of cgp work...

[Bigwrenn]

I'm kind of curious now, I upgraded my other site which has a gallery and it's fine. I made no changes to it either. www.bigdoubleurc.com is still having issues though but hopefully after some diligent code scanning I can find the culprit peice of code. Thanks for the help so far :D.



EDIT- DOH!!!! I finally figured it out, now I feel real stupid :o ! I put the wrong license number in :ermm: .

[ATLien]

Ok, something went wong. For some reason the gallery is not reading the cookies right, and when I click login it forwards me to my forum where I am already logged in.

[Aeolian]

The gallery is working fine in vb 3.0.6...

[feldon23]

And after 11 months...
While everyone else wants to see all sorts of integration between the two, I believe this is the first step to making those things happen.
has not come true.

I spent (wasted) several hours today getting the headinclude, header, navbar, and footer templates to load from within Coppermine templates. I added a str_replace() which goes through and adds the correct directory names on everything so that the navbar and headers all work regardless of where coppermine is installed.

But now I am hitting the roadblock that by including global.php (and by inference, init.php), Cookies are already being defined so you cannot login to Coppermine. I don't know another sane way to get the templates. :(

I've thought of writing an installer that grabs the templates and re-saves them as HTML files. I've thought of trying to destroy/unset all of the variables set by global.php/init.php. I've thought of trying to grab the template some other way (looking at fetch_template() tells me that this is trickier than I am expecting).

[Aeolian]

Well actually what you are trying to do :| ...

[RetroDreams]

So does this work with 3.0.6 or not?

[MissKalunji]

Yep works fine with me

[Smike]

I have a session problem with vb 3.0.5... :(

3.0.6 fixe it ?

[ambrosious]

Quick question, when I install Coppermine, am I supposed to install it to the vbulletin db? I don't feel real good about that...

[neocorteqz]

Quick question, when I install Coppermine, am Isupposed to install it to the vbulletin db? I don't feel real goodabout that...

It will create a separate Prefixed table. so if you should every wantto remove it, you will not have any problems. It doesn't make anychanges to the Original Forum templates in anyway.

[SpeedStreet]

Hey everyone,

When I originally made this, I thought it was going to be the start of something big...


Apparently, never expect anyone else to do something for you :)

Starting Monday, I will take a look at the Coppermine Integration and begin coding something much more substantial. If anyone with any coding experience is interested in adding their 2 cents, I would be more than happy to work with you.

I'll keep you all posted!

[ambrosious]

Got it running great! I am having one problem for some people. Some are reporting they cannot log out now? Should they clear the cookie cashe then log on to vb then coppermine as a fix?

[SpeedStreet]

That would seem to be a proper fix, yes.

[dtdesign]

Hi There,

I am trying to integrate coppermine 1.3.0 beta4 into my vBulleting 3.01 installation.

So far so good - I have followed all the instructions for configuring the bridge and authentication is working fine - when I click the login button it authenticates me against my vbulletin details and then I appear logged on as that user in coppermine.

This leads me to believe that all the linkages between the two are working perfectly.

Prior to integrating the two solutions I created sample albums (both as an admin and regular user) and I could upload pictures perfectly (or at least after messing about with directory permissions).

Now the two are integrated I get a strange error when I click the upload file link in coppermine. Instead of getting the page asking me to browse files or enter URLs I get valid page back - but instead of including the form - the page contains a table whose heading is 'Error'

The message centered in the table is

Invalid action for form creation.

Anyone have any ideas ?

A few more bits of info.

IIS 6.0 on Win 2003 server
manual PHP 4.3.6 running via ISAPI filter with GD2 extension enabled.

I am certain somebody will know how to fix this - my users are very eager to upload.

Kind Regards

Ian.
Guys,

I was running vb version 3.0 and upgraded and lost my bridge to Coppermine 1.2.1 - I came across this thread when I was upgrading to VB version 3.0.6. I've downloaded the zip file and done the edits and when i go to the gallery I ain't logged in and when I click login I get redirected to my board where I am logged in..

Any clues ?

[Rick Sample]

UPDATE::

I got it integrated, everyone can log in who has a vbulletin account, etc. I have all the permissions set to upload folders, I have the albums permissions also set, but now it won't let me upload any files it returns this error:

ERROR:
Invalid action for form creation.

Any thoughts??

I'm running 3.0.7 on my test board, and following these instructions fixed my login problems. Initially, I was being redirected to my bb where I was already logged in, and when I returned to my gallery, I wasn't logged in. I think this was referred to as the "login-loop" LOL

Anyway, for those of you still experiencing the same issue, you may want to CAREFULLY follow the above solution.

Thanks a bunch!

1) In ADMIN TOOLS, I'm getting the following error

2) When I try to logout, I get:
An error occurred while attempting to log you out. Click here to log out. (I'm assuming this is the same problem most people were also having).

3) When I do finally get logged out, I get the following errors

I upgraded to 3.0.6 and now the integration doesn't seem to work. Anyone else having this problem?

Hi Bigwrenn,

I'm having a similar problem.
We run vB 3.0.6 and the Coppermine installer in Fantasico puts the DB in it's own.
It does not put the three sql files into the vB database. I may be wrong.

I think the database has to be installed through phpMyAdmin, but I'm not sure.

When I click login with all the settings everyone mentions, I go right to the front end of my board.

I'm stumped.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks

[ajk]

Hi Everyone, I recommend to install Copermine MANUALLY!
Do NOT use Fantasico. As great as Fantasico is, it won't put the database in the vB database.

Now can someone give us the syntax to use for the vB 3.X navbar please?

I'm using vB 3.0.6 and Coppermine 1.3.2.

Thanks in advance!

Thx :o

i fix my issues with the login.. but it wont let me upload pictures... can anyone help me what i may b doing wrong??

[ged]

What is the correct install option? For example, I have got a vbulletin installation on my abcdef database and a coppermine installation on 123456 database, is it wrong?

Should I install coppermine on the same database with vbulletin? In this case, abcdef? If I do so, what will happen to my vbulletin installation?

[Siouxfire]

In the 'How to', it says "Save vbulletin3.inc.php to the bridge directory of your Coppermine installation" - What is a bridge directory? I currently have my files placed like this: 1) vBulletin - www.domain.com/forums/ and 2) Coppermine - www.domain.com/gallery/ - so what would the bridge directory be? The root?

[ged]

There is a directory named 'bridge' in your coppermine folder.

[shane801]

Where does this hack/integration stand?

I have the following problems:

1. Login in coppermine takes me to forum home. Login there and return to coppermine and everything is okay. Solution: remove login from coppermine and install a popup that advises users they must be logged in in forum home to use gallery.

2. Logout error in coppermine "an error occurred while attempting to logout, please click here to logout This one was posted before and not addressed.

I installed my coppermine on a seperate database. Seems to work ok though. No other problems than login/out like everyone else.

[DaFire]

the login taking you to the forum is necessary because in fact the forum is processing the login and there is no way to tell the forums login page to redirect you back to the gallery.

I suggest to just add a "Gallery" link to the forums main page ;)

[d3nnis]

hi guys, any one of you using htm version of vbulletin with this mod? I can't seems to logout... I guess those links had been hardcoded to point to .php files... just need to know where to edit it so it will point to .htm files instead. Any help will be appreciated.

:mad: Providing hacks and not supporting them is quite useless. Maybe the moderators could flag hacks that are not supported by the authors as that. Saves time and you don't install stuff that doesn't work right anyway.

I stopped scanning this thread on page 10 or whatever, but I guess since people still have issues, I post my mods.

Here is my setup:
- latest coppermine (1.3.3)
- vbulletin 3.0.6 (German)

The version of Coppermine that I have came with the bridge file for PHP. Since the one provided here didn't work and the file distributed with Coppermine had the cookie fix already applied to, I used it as base of my modifications to make it work.

Warning: The edits are quite techy and I will not support this.

bridge/vbulletin30.inc.php
1) You do all the obvious magic (database settings, ...)
2) Code hacking

Find this (around line 91):

$got_user = 0;

if ($bbuserid && $bbpassword) {
// If userid and password exist in cookies we use them to login


And replace the following query ($sql = ...) and the mysql_num_rows() statement with this:


$got_user = 0;

if ($bbuserid && $bbpassword) {
// If userid and password exist in cookies we use them to login
$sql = "SELECT userid as user_id, username as user_name, usergroupid as mgroup, password, salt ";
$sql.= "FROM " . $UDB_DB_NAME_PREFIX . VB_TABLE_PREFIX . VB_USER_TABLE . " ";
$sql.= "WHERE userid='" . addslashes(stripslashes($bbuserid)) . "'";
if(!($result = db_query($sql, $UDB_DB_LINK_ID))){
echo 'Error: '.mysql_error().'<br/>';
echo 'Query: '.$sql.'<br/>';
echo 'File: '.__FILE__.'<br/>';
exit;
}
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
$USER_DATA = mysql_fetch_array($result);
if ($bbpassword != md5($USER_DATA['password'] . $USER_DATA['salt'])) {
$got_user = 1;
}
}
...


So, what did I change here? First of all, I made the $sql query readable. There is an unwritten law that when you write code, you try to break it up after 65 chars (makes printing and reading easier).

Then I added the field "salt" to the SELECT-statement. It's used in vbulletin's login/authentication methods. Last but not least, I changed the if()-statement to check the password stored in the cookie against the password stored in the database.

If you want to have a look at the way vbuelltin does the authentication magic, feel free to browse includes/function-login.php under your vbulletin installation.

Ok, this is it. Not it works for me. Hope this actually helps someone else. If I find anything else, I will post again.

Cheers,
Till

Logout doesn't work either.

In bridge/vbulletin30.inc.php, find this:


// Logout
function udb_logout_page()
{
$target = 'login.php?&do=logout';
udb_redirect($target);
}


Replace with:

// Logout
function udb_logout_page()
{
$target = 'login.php?do=logout&u=10';
udb_redirect($target);
}

Ok, to take this one step further. The login doesn't work well either, it logs me in, but I am not taken back to the gallery.

In reference to the following hack:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=61112&page=1&pp=15

First off, a small correction:

bridge/vbulletin30.inc.php

Replace all instances of "VB_BD_HOST" with "VB_DB_HOST". ;)

So here is my modification:

bridge/vbulletin30.inc.php

#1
Find:
define('VB_WEB_PATH', '/forum/');

Add underneath:
define('VB_DOC_ROOT', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/forum');

Of course you have to modify the path, this works in my example. :)

#2
Find "function udb_login()" and replace its contents with the following:


function udb_login_page($url)
{
$bbuserid = (int) ((isset($_COOKIE['bbuserid']) && !empty($_COOKIE['bbuserid']))?$_COOKIE['bbuserid']:0);
$bbpassword = (string) $_COOKIE['bbpassword'];
$bbusername = (string) '';
$db_conn = mysql_connect(VB_DB_HOST, VB_DB_USERNAME, VB_DB_PASSWORD) OR die('vbbridge: No connection.');
mysql_select_db(VB_DB_NAME, $db_conn) OR die ('vbbridge: No such database.');
$query = "select username from ". VB_USER_TABLE ." where userid = $userid";
if($rawdb = @mysql_query($query)){
if(mysql_num_rows($rawdb) > 0){
$array = mysql_fetch_array($rawdb);
$bbusername=$array['username'];
mysql_free_result($rawdb);
}
}
mysql_close($db_conn);
if(empty($bbusername)){
?>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo VB_WEB_PATH; ?>clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="<?php echo VB_WEB_PATH; ?>login.php" method="post" onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password);">
<span class="sectionheader">Username:</span>
<input type="text" class="button" name="vb_login_username" id="navbar_username" size="15" accesskey="u" tabindex="1" value="username" onfocus="if (this.value == 'username') this.value = '';" /><br/>
<span class="sectionheader">Password:&nbsp;</span>
<input type="password" class="button" name="vb_login_password" size="15" accesskey="p" tabindex="2" /><br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="cookieuser" value="1" tabindex="3" id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" accesskey="c" checked="checked" />
<span class="sectionheader">Remember Me</span><br/>
<input name="submit" type="submit" class="button" accesskey="s" tabindex="4" title="Log In" value="Log In" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />
<input type="hidden" name="forceredirect" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="url" value="URL_TO_YOUR_GALLERY_HERE">
<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
}else{
udb_redirect('index.php');
}
// hard exit
exit;
}


Make sure you replace URL_TO_YOUR_GALLERY_HERE in the code snippet. You can make it more pretty by including CSS and so on, and so on. This is quite dirty. But it works. ;)

Cheers,

I have probably missed something simple but I installed the hack and the coppermie login button works correctly (takes me to the forums but when I go back to coppermine I am not logged in. LOGIN takes me back to the forums and register tells me I'm already registered
Thanks

So will this work with 3.0.7 or should i go with the 4images one?

[Ironhead]

Right below "// Nothing to edit below this line" you have to set the table_prefix and the cookie_prefix

('VB_TABLE_PREFIX', 'vb3_'); and ('VB_COOKIE_PREFIX', 'bb').

Both of these values can be found in your vBulletin config.php.
vb3_ and bb were the default vB settings in config.php

I've got a copy of CPG 1.3.3 and VB 3.0.7 and I'd really like to get this working so that I can have SOME form of photo gallery up and running.

Does anyone have this working with cpg 1.3.3 and vb 3.0.7 that can upload their vbinclude30.inc.php file for those of us who don't have a clue how to code php/mysql???

Please?

[darkon]

I worked out the problem, that admins weren?t able to upload pics... :)

Go to the directory of your coppermine-theme and open the "theme.php", there you have to look for "// HTML template for user admin menu"
In this Block you?ll find the code for the three links. Just cut it out there and paste it where do you want to have it into the Block "// HTML template for main menu" (should be the first one).

I think the problem was, that this user-admin-menu is based on the admin-menu. If you were in admin-view it was overwritten and if your were in user-view it wasn?t shown.

That wouldn?t work on your board.
You have to enter the information for your board into this file and not someone elses.

Actualy it?s really easy and the comments in the file are very clear and not too hard to follow.

[mustang_lex]

Will this work if I only want one custom usergroup to be able to upload? while the others can only view

[Ironhead]

Yes, you can give different upload permissions for different usergroups. The only thing I found that you can’t do is to restrict viewing by usergroup permissions.

[mustang_lex]

OK after going through 15 pages of notes starting from 2004 . I am so lost...

I have VB 3.0.7 with coppermine 1.33

I successfully installed coppermine and was able to get to the main index. i have the following menu options

I followed the original hack to a T and also implements through out a few pages, but slowly got lost.

Album list :: Upload file :: Login
Last uploads :: Last comments :: Most viewed :: Top rated :: My Favorites :: Search

I click Login . It sends me to Vbulletin in which many case I'm already logged in to the Vbulletin. So I logout, go back to Coppermines main page and click Login -> sends me to Vbulletin -> i then login -> point the browser to my coppermine folder (index.php) and I still have a login. Therefore repeating the whole sequence. I feel its cookie related somehow.

1) Can I have some assistence
2) Is there going to be an updated hack for this for everyone who has the latest scripts
3) I already wasted money on WSN Gallery (no decent support) so buying another program such as VBaGallery is no in the budget
4) Is 4images better and easyier to integrate.

Seems I'm having problems with any gallery. Yet I completely customized Vbulletin without a hitch :ermm:

Soooo i can't login,

[mustang_lex]

Right below "// Nothing to edit below this line" you have to set the table_prefix and the cookie_prefix

('VB_TABLE_PREFIX', 'vb3_'); and ('VB_COOKIE_PREFIX', 'bb').

Both of these values can be found in your vBulletin config.php.
vb3_ and bb were the default vB settings in config.php

I used the vbulletin3.inc.php in the latest release of coppermine and followed all the directions and it finally worked!

by default in config.php my Table Prefix was '' (nothing) and Cookies was 'bb' So I went and found those in the vbulletin30.inc.php and adjusted, and still no go. I tried to edit

// Prefix that your vBulletin tables have in the database.
// For example: $tableprefix = 'vb3_';
$tableprefix = '';

to

// Prefix that your vBulletin tables have in the database.
// For example: $tableprefix = 'vb3_';
$tableprefix = 'vb3_';

To make it something, then adjusted the vbulletin30.inc.php to vb3_ and my vBulletin freaked out with a server error. Is there something else I have to change???


I tried what Till said and still nothing. Can someone who is using theirs and working well email me their vbulletin30.inc.php of course with all important user password info gone.
my email is lex1@acceswave.ca

[mustang_lex]

Now this should fix all the problems and set you FREE!

:hurt:

I banged my head so hard at this and even tried method on page 11 by Safwan and still no go. I still get the "login" on the coppermine page.

[Ironhead]

To be sure you are using the right table prefix look at your db tables with mysql and see what prefix they have.

[mustang_lex]

I looked as I thought there is no prefix because I never set one up.

[Ironhead]

Temporarily removed for editing.

[mustang_lex]

yep. this way does work. This way should be a sticky. as it is successful with no problems

[sticker-]

What way? I'm currently having the same problem you had.

[mustang_lex]

Check your PM sticker

[Acers]

ok after reading some 16 pages i am totally lost. :P

have we got this thing working with VB? even with single usergroup uploads? If so then can anyone has got it working make a post about what to do?

[Carnage Media]

I have vb 3.07 and coppermine 1.3.3

I set the cookie prefix in CPG the same as VB and it worked, below is my line from the config file in CPG

define('VB_COOKIE_PREFIX', 'bb'); // Cookie Prefix, not supported by vBulletin 2

hi. im' a total newbie. here's what i did.

my forum is installed and running properly.
now i made the changes in coppermine files as instructed (locally, still not installed in the server)
then when i try to access the gallery, it takes me to coppermine installation page.

questions:
----------
1) should i continue with installation?
2) if so, use the same database as the forum, or create a new one even though in the files i modified includes the "forum" databases?
3) or just do a fresh installation of coppermine using a new database and THEN manually modify the changes in the two files suggested?

thanks in advance.

Ironhead has the perfect fix and his tutorial is basically flawless. PM me or him for the steps. as far as your questions

1) Yes upload the files to your server (in a differnent folder off the root)
2) Yes same database, user , and password, plus make sure your VB is fully licensed!!! Every VB PHP page should have your license
3) No, the best way to integrate is to use the SAME database.

[Acers]

yaa and i can confirm that.. just got the full gallery integrated and working.
Btw if you have it integrated a good idea is to go to coppermine forums and add on to the gallery features. There are some very nice hacks and addons there.

[ATLien]

define('VB_VALIDATING_GROUP', 3);
define('VB_GUEST_GROUP', 1);
define('VB_MEMBERS_GROUP', 2);
define('VB_ADMIN_GROUP', 6);
define('VB_MOD_GROUP', 7);

How would I edit this to accept 2 groups as admins?

[Chris@TSE]

Alright, i integrated the new version of coppermine into out 3.0.8 forums using the methods mentioned above. The original 30 file modified as instructed, sharing the same database with vbulletin. When people log in, it works. It sees them as the vbulletin user they are supopsed to be...

One problem:

If someone tries to logout, they go to the following url and receive a page not displayed error.

"http://topshelfexotic.com/photogallery/logout.php?referer=%2Fphotogallery%2F"

Anyone have a fix for this. I tried a few things mentioned above and nothing seemed to work. Since then i've installed fresh and simply got the initial integration working. Nothing more...

Forums are here: http://topshelfexotic.com/vbulletin/
and the gallery is here: http://topshelfexotic.com/photogallery/

DO NOT USE THE LINK FOR THE IMAGE GALLLERY ON THE FORUMS, it points to an OLD installation of coppermine which is still active until we are able to complete the new installation properly. Thanks for any help in advance!

[NWN]

Got coppermine into out 3.0.8 working with version 134 133 is the old version. only problem is when i log out there a error but it just clears the cookies then relog in & it's still working just a error when logging out & makes you clear your cookies
