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:
hmm I have been trying to do this and it seems I dont have the bridgemgr.php file... lol I don't know, it was a fantastico install, but it should still have the file. I then downloaded the file off sourceforge and when I ran it, I got an undefined error.
I am truly puzzled as to why I don't have this file and why the bridge manager isn't in the admin of the coppermine
any ideas?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: cpg_get_bridge_db_values() in /home/digitale/public_html/gallery/bridgemgr.php on line 628
It installs fine but I have one problem which I'm not able to solve.
After running the bridgemgr.php the integration works and the users are automatically logged into Coppermine and can upload pics and all but when clicking on "User galleries" they always get the following error: "Critical error: There was an error while processing a database query"
If I setup other galleries it works fine, the error is only with "User galleries".
Did somebody have the same error and maybe have a fix for it?
I am having this same problem.... everything else is functional
What does this hack do? For those who have not seen the previous versions hack makers need to provide description.
If you have "Coppermine Gallery" installed on your site (or going to install) and you want it to use the vBulletin login info and your forum's users/groups you can "bridge" (a.k.a. integrate) CPG (=Coppermine Gallery) into vB.
But the script that comes with CPG does not work.
This is a corrected version.
However I have no clue about that user gallery thing.
Everthing working fine on my board, so can't figure that one out.... :ermm:

Ugh, for me, everything works fine until it asks for the relative forum url. I entered ../Forum/ as the relative and http://www.themotec.com/Forum as the forum URL, yet I get an error saying that the config cannot be found, and it actually shows the correct path...why is this
What's the location of your CPG install, what path/URL?
I got confused by that part as well when I first installed it....
For an example, my settings are:
Forum URL = http://forum.skill-club.com
(CPG is running at the URL "http://forum.skill-club.com/gallery/")
Relative path = ../
First of all I am very happy and greatefull that you made the bridge working at all.
First I had the problem that there is only an echo 3.0.x and nothing else happens than i commented the echo away so there is no output before the actual script starts. now loggin in and out does work suffitiantely.
There remains a small but nasty problem that when loggin in the refferer is transmitted but not executed after sucessfull login. Therefore the user is not redirected back to the coppermine but remains on the forum index page.
Whereas when logging out from the gallery the refferer works fine.
