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.

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...

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.

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 . 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

i have a problem to edit includes/function_online.php to integrate coppermine in it.
My forum path is /
my gallery path is /gallery/
so i edit function online, i add:

		case 'gallery':
			$userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['viewing_gallery'];
			$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"$userinfo[location]\">$userinfo[location]</a>";
			break;

between other case
and after

		else
		{
			$userinfo['activity'] = 'modcp';
		}
		return $userinfo;
	}

i add:

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

but it doesn't work
someone can help me?

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.
