Hi,
I'm using Joomla 1.0.8, Bridged into SMF using Wolverines Joomla-SMF-Bridge 1.0.11. Both SMF and Joomla are on the same databse.
I've installed Coppermine 1.4.4 as a stand alone package, into the same database as the other two, and I have configured it to work with SMF as instructed.
I have then wrapped the Gallery into my Joomla site, and configured the scroller bars and hight/width settings so it works great.
I was surprised to find the sessions working fine, not because I doubted the gallery, rather I doubted my Joomla-SMF bridges compatibility - since nearly everyone seems to be coding integrations to SMF/Joomla around Orisitios 3.20 bridge. (A bridge that has never worked properly for me)
Anyway onto the few issues I have encountered after more thorough testing...
1. I've noticed that if I click on 'home' whilst in the wrapped gallery, i get an identical version of my site inside the wrapper, complete with another wrapper containing the gallery again!
2. If I click on 'Groups' and then click on 'asign albums' I get taken to an unwrapped SMF memberlist which has no relavance to the Gallery.
3. If click on 'Profile' I get the same result, only I am taken to my SMF profile (fair enough really, but the SMF profile doesnt contain any gallery info, so it seems odd for it to be here)
4. If I click 'Users' I am again taken to the SMF unwrapped memberlist
Some of the above, namely 1, 3 and 4, I can just remove from the template settings and then rely on my SMF-Joomla integration to let people access those pages. I just wondered if they are actually supposed to do what they are doing, or if its an error at my end.
As for the 'Groups' settings, I can still change the permissions in that page, i just cant get to the 'Assign Albums' bit. I have to go to each and every Album and edit the properties to assign each Album to a member group. I'd rather not have to do that.
I would give you guys a link as you ask in the guidelines, but that seems un nessisary as you would need admin access to see my major problem (number 2)
Anyway, any insight would be great. Thanks a lot.
Rob.
