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.

Worked perfectly... best hack yet... some of you people having trouble with members uploading pictures, try editing the album properties and choose YES to upload pictures... this a whole different thing from editing the user group permission... you have to do both...

BTW, any ideas how to integrate the navbar?

[xfaethorx]

ok big problem...

coppermine 1.2.1
vbulletin 3.0.1

coppermine is installed vb is up and running (has been for ages) coppermine is installed into vbulletin database.

I click on the login i get redirected to the forum , so I made the hack change as describe a page back..I still get the same problem.

If i try to do anything coppermine tells me that I don't have any rights but the intergration seems ok..

thing is I don't know enough about the new vb or coppermine to work out whats up.

Is it possible to have a link in the Users Profile to there private gallery? If so, how to do that?

thanks in advance

[forum4games]

if anyone is working on getting this to work with your vbulletin layout you may wanna take a look at the new invision version as it has full integration

[croft]

well this hack works lovely =)
All i need now is a way to post the latest pictures on the forum home like photopost.

Is there anyway i can do that ?

[croft]

ohh yes and i have same trouble as the most of the users here.
I can upload pictures in admin mode but when i switch to usermode im unable to upload. It says i have no albums where im not alowed to upload in ?????

[Vega]

Looks like Users aren't recognised as Users. I had the same problem here. I allowed Guests to upload pictures and all Users were able to upload.

[croft]

yeah i tryed that to and no go here =(

[Lee Wilde]

Cloudrunner thank you very much for those code fixes, worked like a charm. Greatly appreciated.

[Lee Wilde]

At the risk of sounding like a total fool....how much disk quota should I allow for members to upload images? What are the rest of you allowing for this?

I'm so excited about this. Have y'all seen all the extra themes available on sourceforge??

[badpacket]

I just used the default of 2mb.. since i'm still working on the site I dont know if this is enough or too much.. we'll see when i go live..

btw has anyone gotten this to work with 1.3? i had to revert back to 1.2 :/

[Mijae]

Does this integration use vB's templates for the gallery?
