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

SUPPORT THREADS:
Coppermine Gamma Thread (original thread): http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/bo...asc&highlight=
vBulletin.org Hack Thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=488062
Coppermine vB 3.0.0 Thread: http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/bo...ic.php?p=20674

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.

Alright - I've got a question. Last time I tried to do the Coppermine migration, it complained that you can't have usernames with spaces in them, and can't have complex passwords (with non alpha-numeric characters). Is this still the case? My one site requires first & last name as username, and many have complex passwords. I can't make them change that just for this feature.

Thanks!

I doubt it............many users uses spaces with their name.......and they have no problem.....

Quick question. Why is our license number required in this script? No other hacks require it.

The message centered in the table is

Invalid action for form creation.

Does anyone have a solution? I'm having this same problem.

TIA.

Ok guys, thanks to that PM I got today (Thanks

), I got the "invalid form" thing fixed, and then I had the logon issue. Then I applied that fix and I got that thing fixed, but there is this error at the top of my gallery:

Notice: Constant VB_COOKIE_PREFIX already defined in /home/.rafferty/palmforu/palmforums.org/gallery/bridge/vbulletin30.inc.php on line 49

How do i fix that?

EDIT - Ok, I fixed it. Thanks anyway

.

Blam Forumz · #**115** 08-07-2004, 01:06 PM

There doesnt appear tobe any error when I install it, but it only see's one user, me,

do i have to install it before i edit the files or edit the files then install??

I'm still getting the login loop with VB3.0.3 and Coppermine 1.3.1. I have yet to hear the soloution for this one. I'm ready to just drop coppermine all together. I had it working with VB3.0.1, but there's a bug somewhere in the integration with VB3.0.3. I comb their support forum, but all I see is responses that the bridge file works, but it doesn't. The support from the developer is extremely condescending. I know it's open source and therefore free, but jeez, you'd think that when someone is 'stuck' and several people post the same problem, they'd be a little bit helpful. My impression is that they want people to use Nuke and really don't care if it works with anything else. There's far better support here than over there.

So, if anyone has any ideas, that'd be great. If I somehow manage to get it going, I'll definately post it here.

did you fix the cookie settings in the vbulletin (from copermine) ??

Bigwrenn · #**120** 08-18-2004, 02:32 AM

Open your config.php in your includes folder and look for this:

PHP Code:


			
// Prefix that all vBulletin cookies will have

// For example

$cookieprefix = '/';

Change your cookie prefix in coppermine to what you have your vb cookie prefix set to. That should do the trick.

If you don't have your cookie prefix set in your config.php then set it to whatever you have set in your vbulletin options and make sure that coppermine's cookie prefix matches!

Hi all,

vBulletin 3.0.3
Coppermine 1.3

Both function fine as standalone. I've got the integration working also except i get the above message at the top of the page in Coppermine.

I've got Coppermine, vB and the config.php in vB all set to "/" as my cookie prefix. Any ideas to get rid of that notice in Coppermine??
