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

SUPPORT THREADS:
Coppermine Gamma Thread (original thread): http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/bo...asc&highlight=
vBulletin.org Hack Thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=488062
Coppermine vB 3.0.0 Thread: http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/bo...ic.php?p=20674

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.

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

Take a look if you want.

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

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.

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

Works perfect, nice work.

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.

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.

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