Gaugau,
Let me see if I can help your development team here.
As you know, I ported over all tables from PHP-Nuke to the standalone version. There were about four fields that needed modification (the name field in PHP-Nuke, is called 'namee,' for some reason.) So, once you change the basic names, the two database seem to be perfectly compatible.
Once that is finished, we need a way to get Coppermine to recognize the pictures and the user galleries. I was able to get the pictures recognized by exporting the cpg11d_pictures table, changing the paths from PHP-Nuke paths to normal paths, and then reimporting it to the database. This cause the pics to show up. Yay.
But how to get the user galleries to show up? Well, I was under the mistaken impression that the user gallery information is stored in the database. However, it is actually stored on the drive itself. Coppermine for PHP-Nuke will rename each folder according to the user who uploads something to the folder.
Hence, /albums/userpics/100101 = photos uploaded by member #101 in PHP-Nuke.
Since you can't import cpg11d_users successfully into the standalone version (won't help,) I used pnCPG module in Postnuke to populate the standalone gallery with all of my old users from PHP-Nuke. If you wait a while, they will all visit.
Once they are in the standalone database, you can change the number of the user via phpMyAdmin. For example:
Joe
PHP-Nuke user #101
/albums/userpics/100101
Postnuke (and standalone) user #4.
Just copy over the 100101 dir to the standalone location and change "4" to "101" in the standalone database. Coppermine will automatically pick up the albums after that and all will be well.
It's complicated, I know, but this was all I could do at the moment.
GBU,
