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:

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.

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.

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,

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

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.

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.

Temporarily removed for editing.

[mustang_lex]
