hey,

i just recently had a problem with my phpBB cms that was resolved by changing the cookie name and adding a "_id" at the end of the cookie name. now the bridging does not work anymore. i think it has to do with the cookie prefix or something like that when using the bridge manager. can someone please help me with this and what is the prfix or cokie name supposed to be?


thanks.

Re-run the bridge manager and enter the correct prefix.

[phpbbguy]

i did that  , am not quite sure what the prefix should be. my ppbb cookie is currently forum_cookie_id , so what should the prefix be?

forum
forum_cookie
or
forum_cookie_id?

thanks.

Would be helpful for you to do as suggested in the sticky.

here is the required information. not sure if this is neccessary, i just need what the cookie prefix is because i changed the forum cookie name after i upgraded to phpBB.20, because i had log-in problems after the upgrade. bridgeing has always worked fine for me, thanks.


Coppermine install:  Website 

Forum install: Forum url 
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.2
Forum version: phpBB2
Test user account: testdude / user

BridgeManager settings:
Forum URL:  http://mysite.com/phpBB2
Relative path to your BBS's config file:  ../phpBB2/
Use post-based groups?:  0

First of all update your gallery.

Your cookie prefix is 9ja_forum_id_

Your forum's cookie path must be set to '/' for bridging to work.

[phpbbguy]

am sorry ,am not quite sure where the slash is supposed to be , do you mean in the bridge manager?

[Nibbler]

In your forum's admin panel. I'm not sure exactly where since I don't use phpbb.

[phpbbguy]

this is getting complicated. it works when i leave it as a "/" but then my forums dont work.

what can i do to make both the forum and the gallery work correctly using cookies.

[Nibbler]

If you make it '/' then both your gallery and forum will work fine. Remember to clean out your old cookies whenever you change cookie settings.
