Coppermine 1.4.2 intgration to vB3.x.x

I hope I put this into the right section.
If not forgive me :dead:

From the archives Readme:
Coppermine 1.4.2
Working vBulletin 3.0.x *AND* 3.5.x bridge script

================================================== =

Hi everyone!

Since the bridgescript that comes with Coppermine 1.4.2 for vBulletin doesn't work at all I started digging in the script and corrected it to finally work.
While I was at it I also added support for the vBulletin 3.5.x branch

Installation:

Easy!
Just upload the "vbulletin30.inc.php" from this archive into your Coppermine's bridge folder while OVERWRITING the existing one.

You can then launch the bridgemanager (http:/www.yourdomain.tld/gallery/bridgemgr.php) and set everthing up.
That should have done it.

If you followed all the instructions from the manual and the bridgemanager you should now have a fine working Coppermine with your vBulletin.


I tested this myself on my own forums with the following setups:

Coppermine 1.4.2 -> vBulletin 3.0.3
Coppermine 1.4.2 -> vBulletin 3.5.1


See it working live in action at http://forum.skill-club.com/gallery/


Have fun!

hello, anyone know if that bridge works fine with coppermine 1.4.3 and vb 3.5.3?

and this bridge touch or alter vb or coppermine DB tables?

Bridged, vB 3.5.3 perfectly, many thanks

Hello.

With the bridge,

1) will CPG be able to use the 'hide' E-mail feature to prevent harvesting?

2) Are the usergroups controlled in vB or in CPG or both locations?

Thanks in advance.

I have using original file vbulletin30.inc.php (is up to date) that is in the coppermine 1.4.3 package and works great on vb 3.5.3

any ideas how to sort the login part??

I have the same issue

That logout thing (vB says "click here to logout") seems to be common,I have that well, it's because some cookie hash is not given on the logout URL or such.
IMHO that's not sooo bad.

However general problems with loggin in/out seems to be some serious in CPG itself and/or the bridge system.

I think this also the cause of the usergallery problem, 'cause from the debug info I got it seemed like bridge was active but actually not really used for logging in users.
Unfortunately that's the only clue I got so far.
I tried several different installs/situations to recreate that problem - no luck

One thing I got during my experients was that after DISABELING the bridge I haven't been able to login to CPG at all.

Seems to something more deep down :-/

1) not sure on this. have to look myself
2) They are controlled sort of in both.
Once you added/removed a usergroup in vB go to the groups manager in CPG.
This will sync the usergroups over and you can then set the CPG permissions for each usergroup-

Installed perfectly on Coppermine 1.4.3 and vBulletin 3.5.3! There is that minor login issue... but it really doesn't affect performance

Thanks Hellcat! :]

Works fine after the fix gasxtreme posted (thanks!). Is it possible to tie the theme in with the forums without creating a new CPG theme? (I am guessing no)

[tendo]

Very nice, if anyone figures out that logout problem bigups to them hehe

[tendo]

EXCELLENT HACK THANKS!

let me make sure i got this straight. you use the admin login that you made to setup coppermine, and then go to groups. right? i dont see my custom usergroups from vb.... how do I refresh CPG to see my VB groups?? I tried going into VB ADMIN control panel and I see nothing in the user group permissions.

VERY CONFUSING
