You know.. I set up a coppermine install and it's a very nice gallery. But the support folks there have made noob-bashing into a refined art. It's very discouraging to see this happen any area, but doubly so from an open-source crowd.

I had a simple question about my setup, so I did a search for that topic in their support forum. After skimming through pages of unhelpful remarks -- which I feel could only make beginners feelt utterly unwelcome -- I came across another reply directing the person to search their forums before asking such basic (as in "stupid") questions. In that response, he said if you search for "such and such" in the support forum, you'll see it's been asked and answered exactly 19 times before. Hmm... okay.

This happened to be the same topic area of my question, so I did exactly that. And would you believe it? I found 19 other threads on this topic where they all referred the asker back to search out their own solution. Not a single time did anyone post anything at all that would answer the question asked. Not one thread.

All I can say is they really do provide a nice product when it comes to gallery applications. So... if anyone here puts in the effort to integrate coppermine with your vB board or you develop your own modifications to share over there... please be kind to the less experienced people trying to accomplish the same thing. They could really use the encouragement and it's this helpful spirit that sets our larger vB community apart from all those other bulletin board systems.

For anyone else who may feel put off by what you read in their forums, at least it's good to know theirs isn't the only open source gallery application available. I've chosen to do away with my coppermine install in favor of another called Gallery 2, which you can find HERE if you're looking for a comparable product that won't cost you anything. (Yes, it integrates with vB and you can design a site around it... you can also use one install to support multiple sites all from one database, if you need a gallery solution for multiple clients/webpages.)

Yeah got it now.
It was the usergroup thing.

Still...its damn userUNfriendly imho...

I might just go for vbgallery and vbadvanced instead...

Before following any steps, i would reccommend you did the testing on a testing environment. DO NOT GO LIVE UNTIL YOU ARE SURE. Once you can see that integration is working you can go about implemeting it on live website. You have to keep it in mind that this integration works only if you have your setup like this -> http://www.yourdomain.com/gallery/ but if you have your website setup like http://gallery.yourdomain.com then i am afraid this integration will not be succesfull.

I followed your steps to the letter and also the steps on Coppermine. It seems to work, but when I log into my forums and then goto the gallery, it asks me to log in again. When I click the Gallery login, it takes me to the home page of the forums (but there I am already logged in).

Ideas?

in the bridge file there is an option labeled:
VB_CUST_NO

This is misleading as it is ACTUALLY supposed to be the license number. I'm not exactly a noob with programming and this took me like an hour to figure out not to mention the support on the coppermine forum is far from friendly.

I have the exact same problem. login.php just redirects me to the forum. I have even created several test account users to make work, no go.

There's no mention of this in the install instructions for the vB3 bridge, but you need to check what the cookie prefix is set to in vB, then use the same prefix for Coppermine to stop that login loop.

If you didn't specify anything different when you installed your board, the default vB prefix will be set as "bb." If you're not sure, you can find it in your vB forum /includes/config.php file at Line 81:

Code:

	//	Prefix that all vBulletin cookies will have
	//	Keep this short and only use numbers and letters, i.e. 1-9 and a-Z
$config['Misc']['cookieprefix'] = 'bb';

Just set the cookie prefix in Coppermine to the same as this, and that should solve the problem.

hth...

I have set the cockie prefix to "bb" which is the prefix used by VB in the bridge file but i still get a loop.

EDIT: I just noted that i no longer can logout from the forum either or login to the admin panel. My status seems to be looked as it was when i installed coppermine.

AGIRABI · #38 11-27-2005, 09:41 PM

I got this error when i try to install copernic.

Code:

Could not create a mySQL connection, please check the SQL values entered

MySQL error was : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

I edit the bridge.php correctly and uploaded all the files to ftp. :disappointed:

Can some help me please ?

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but has anyone gotten the Windows XP Publish wizard to work using VB 3.x and Coppermine 1.3.5? I cant seem to get mine working.. i am logged into the forum and gallery in IE, and the XP Publishing Wizard tells me i am not logged in.

Thanks in advance!

I have Vbulletin 3.5.3 + Coppermine 1.4.3 working great. Except login/logout , it will say " there's an errors while your log out, click here to log out" from Vbulletin message. Other than that, everything is great.
Just follow the instructions in the Coppermine documentation.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
