Coppermine 1.2.1 / vBulletin 3.0.0 Integration
 

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.

thank you so much

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

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.

OMFG ty so much BIG INSTALL HERE
Great work

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:))

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.

edit: nevermind.
