Hey,
I need some help.  I need to take the login system completely off of my photo gallery.  The reason is that it's under a member's area and I need to use the login system that I created.  If this is possible, can I get some tips?

Thanks,
Josh

sounds like your asking for "bridging" which might be your easiest route.

search the forums on bridging and writing custom bridges.

If you don't need any of the user specific functions, like personal galleries, using groups to allow/disallow access to albums, etc, and you'll just be displaying pictures for your members to see, you can edit the theme and remove the login/logout links.  In theme.php, find

Code: [Select]

<!-- BEGIN login -->
                        <a href="{LOGIN_TGT}">{LOGIN_LNK}</a>
<!-- END login -->
<!-- BEGIN logout -->
                        <a href="{LOGOUT_TGT}">{LOGOUT_LNK}</a>
<!-- END logout -->
and change to

Code: [Select]

<!-- BEGIN login -->
<!-- END login -->
<!-- BEGIN logout -->
<!-- END logout -->
In order to access the admin section, you'll have to create a bookmark/favorite to like this: yoursite.com/coppermine/login.php and another to logout: yoursite.com/coppermine/logout.php.

Make sure you verify your config setting Allow new user registrations is set to no.
