SMF and Coppermine
« on: June 12, 2006, 03:27:19 am »

Hi there, first sorry if this as been already discuss in other thread, and sorry the bad english.

The thing is:
I have one CG instalation (latest 1.4.8) with 3000 fotos and a SMF (latest also) in the same domain.

I woul like to bridge it and give the option to users of  from SMF upload fotos and create albuns. I checked the brigde script, and it seems very stable but i need to know if i can revert this any time.

Supose, the next security update in SMF will not work in CG, or i simply want to "switch off" the bridge, is it simple? or will the bridge make irreversible changes in CG or SMF?

I allways am afraid to hack/install pugins, etc. I prefer to have stability and a reliable script, instead of full features and allways be afraid of security problems, development stops, incompatibility issues, etc.

Can i make the SMF/CG bridge and revert the previous separate scripts anityme?

Thanks people, greetings from Portugal

What bridging does is ignores the cpg users and uses the smf user info instead. If you already have information linked to your gallery users, such as their files, the link between them would be lost, though the files and info are not touched. And vice versa, if you bridge with smf and then have the users upload files, the link between users and files would be lost.

So although the gallery could function if you switch between having the bridge off and on, the above info gets lost. Of course, you could go into the database to manually update the info, but that doesn't seem like a fun thing to do...
