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.

Well everything seemingly went smooth. Had vbulletin 3.03 already installed on my server. I installed coppermine and tested it and all worked fine as standalone.
I followed the integration instructions and now have a couple problems.
the first is it wont login and shows only 1 user we have 40 users on the boards. the second is after I login if i go to the admin i get this error.
You don't have permission to access /photos/config.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Now im completely lost. Tried checking all the cookies with exception from admin side of coppermine since i can access it lol
Uncommented cleaned the cache etc. Still same thing.
Any ideas what the problem may be.
Thanks

I noticed that there are issues with people with forums in a sub-domain but what if coppermine is in a sub-domain???

My setup is like this:
http://www.website.com.au - Forums.
http://gallery.website.com.au - Coppermine

Seems to work fine until I click login through coppermine... then it just loops for about 2 minutes and says the page can't be found.

Any ideas???

Thanks.

Alright guys, i dunno i found something that could possibly help someone out. If when you click on the Login/Logout link and get an error with something like http:// not found or something.

Try this.

Find:

header('Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . VB_WEB_PATH . $target);

Replace:

header('Location: ' . VB_WEB_PATH . $target);

Oh yeah, make backup because i'm no expert or anything..... just thought that this might be able to help someone.

I am using CPG 1.3.2 integrated with VB 3.0.1...

Yesterday, i noticied a strange problem... if i logon to the board without checking whether to stay permanently logged on, then the whenever i go to the album, i am redirected back to the page i requested from!

And if, i select the checkbox to stay forever logged in, then it allows me to see the album easily!
Can anyone tell me wats the problem?

Note, i have added those few lines from FAQ which prevent unregistered users from seeing the CPG!

Site: http://www.indianguitartabs.com
CPG: http://www.indianguitartabs.com/igtalbum/
user: testcpg
pass: testcpg

Please check out and let me know the solution!

Please refer to my coppermine thread:

REgards,
Zooom...!!

coppermine 1.3.2 and vb 3.0.3 user here

I've read carefully the issues on cookies and thought I had it fixed nicely, integration seemed fine but .........

If i logon to the board without checking whether to stay permanently logged on, then the whenever i go to the album, i am redirected back to the page i requested from!

And if, i select the checkbox to stay forever logged in, then it allows me to see the album easily!

I have the same issue.

I also have a more important one; if I try and "Upload File" I get the following message displayed on the screen

"Invalid action for form creation".

Any ideas?

I installed this on my forum and I get the following error when I click on the "Admin Tools" link.

Select album 
 Fatal error: Call to undefined function: udb_util_filloptions() in /usr/home/tickah/public_html/coppermine/util.php on line 443

When I edit the coppermine init file and comment out the vbulletin line, the error goes away.

Could it be that I am running Coppermine v1.3.2 and vBulletin v3.03 instead of Coppermine v1.21 and vBulletin v3.00?

Help

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

We have the exact same problem and are using the same DB. Checked/cleared all cookies etc.

Any further suggestions?

Just to note.. we are not using a prefix with the VB database - but are using a prefix with the Coppermine gallery - would this be the problem?

Sorted... I had to add "bb" to the VB cookie prefix below this line;

"// Nothing to edit below this line"
