Coppermine 1.2.1 / vBulletin 3.0.0 Integration · **Released**: 03-21-2004

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.

Anyhow thank you for sharing your modification with the community. They might be usefull for some.

Those checkboxes didn't really catch my eye. Could have been more obvious, but that's a usability issue. Thanks for your reply.

No problem.

Well all the important information is in the bar in the top and on the right.

Till · #**214** 04-26-2005, 02:04 PM

Ok, to take this one step further. The login doesn't work well either, it logs me in, but I am not taken back to the gallery.

In reference to the following hack:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...2&page=1&pp=15

First off, a small correction:

bridge/vbulletin30.inc.php

Replace all instances of "VB_BD_HOST" with "VB_DB_HOST".

So here is my modification:

bridge/vbulletin30.inc.php

#1
Find:

PHP Code:


			
 define('VB_WEB_PATH', '/forum/');

Add underneath:

PHP Code:


			
 define('VB_DOC_ROOT', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/forum');

Of course you have to modify the path, this works in my example.

#2
Find "function udb_login()" and replace its contents with the following:

PHP Code:


			
function udb_login_page($url)

{

    $bbuserid   = (int) ((isset($_COOKIE['bbuserid']) && !empty($_COOKIE['bbuserid']))?$_COOKIE['bbuserid']:0);

    $bbpassword = (string) $_COOKIE['bbpassword'];

    $bbusername = (string) '';

    $db_conn = mysql_connect(VB_DB_HOST, VB_DB_USERNAME, VB_DB_PASSWORD) OR die('vbbridge: No connection.');

    mysql_select_db(VB_DB_NAME, $db_conn) OR die ('vbbridge: No such database.');

    $query = "select username from ". VB_USER_TABLE ." where userid = $userid";

    if($rawdb = @mysql_query($query)){

        if(mysql_num_rows($rawdb) > 0){

            $array = mysql_fetch_array($rawdb);

            $bbusername=$array['username'];

            mysql_free_result($rawdb);

        }

    }

    mysql_close($db_conn);

    if(empty($bbusername)){

?>

<html>

<head>

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo VB_WEB_PATH; ?>clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js"></script>

</head>

<body>

<form action="<?php echo VB_WEB_PATH; ?>login.php" method="post" onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password);">

<span class="sectionheader">Username:</span>

<input type="text" class="button" name="vb_login_username" id="navbar_username" size="15" accesskey="u" tabindex="1" value="username" onfocus="if (this.value == 'username') this.value = '';" /><br/>

<span class="sectionheader">Password:&nbsp;</span>

<input type="password" class="button" name="vb_login_password" size="15" accesskey="p" tabindex="2" /><br/>

<input type="checkbox" name="cookieuser" value="1" tabindex="3" id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" accesskey="c" checked="checked" />

<span class="sectionheader">Remember Me</span><br/>

<input name="submit" type="submit" class="button" accesskey="s" tabindex="4" title="Log In" value="Log In" />

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />

<input type="hidden" name="forceredirect" value="1" />

<input type="hidden" name="url" value="URL_TO_YOUR_GALLERY_HERE">

<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />

</form>

</body>

</html>

<?php

    }else{

        udb_redirect('index.php');

    }

    // hard exit

    exit;

}

Make sure you replace URL_TO_YOUR_GALLERY_HERE in the code snippet. You can make it more pretty by including CSS and so on, and so on. This is quite dirty. But it works.

Cheers,
Till

I have probably missed something simple but I installed the hack and the coppermie login button works correctly (takes me to the forums but when I go back to coppermine I am not logged in. LOGIN takes me back to the forums and register tells me I'm already registered
Thanks
Rick

So will this work with 3.0.7 or should i go with the 4images one?

Ironhead · #**217** 05-23-2005, 09:39 PM

Right below "// Nothing to edit below this line" you have to set the table_prefix and the cookie_prefix

('VB_TABLE_PREFIX', 'vb3_'); and ('VB_COOKIE_PREFIX', 'bb').

Both of these values can be found in your vBulletin config.php.
vb3_ and bb were the default vB settings in config.php

I've got a copy of CPG 1.3.3 and VB 3.0.7 and I'd really like to get this working so that I can have SOME form of photo gallery up and running.

Does anyone have this working with cpg 1.3.3 and vb 3.0.7 that can upload their vbinclude30.inc.php file for those of us who don't have a clue how to code php/mysql???

Please?

darkon · #**219** 05-30-2005, 05:04 AM

I worked out the problem, that admins weren?t able to upload pics...

Go to the directory of your coppermine-theme and open the "theme.php", there you have to look for "// HTML template for user admin menu"
In this Block you?ll find the code for the three links. Just cut it out there and paste it where do you want to have it into the Block "// HTML template for main menu" (should be the first one).

I think the problem was, that this user-admin-menu is based on the admin-menu. If you were in admin-view it was overwritten and if your were in user-view it wasn?t shown.

That wouldn?t work on your board.
You have to enter the information for your board into this file and not someone elses.

Actualy it?s really easy and the comments in the file are very clear and not too hard to follow.

mustang_lex · #**221** 05-30-2005, 11:07 AM

Will this work if I only want one custom usergroup to be able to upload? while the others can only view

Ironhead · #**222** 05-30-2005, 12:58 PM

Yes, you can give different upload permissions for different usergroups. The only thing I found that you cant do is to restrict viewing by usergroup permissions.

mustang_lex · #**223** 05-30-2005, 06:04 PM

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,

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

Quote:

// Prefix that your vBulletin tables have in the database.
// For example: $tableprefix = 'vb3_';
$tableprefix = '';

to

Quote:

// 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.

Ironhead · #**226** 05-30-2005, 07:48 PM

To be sure you are using the right table prefix look at your db tables with mysql and see what prefix they have.
