I switched from SMF bridge (using CoppermineVIS) to Joomla Bridge (http://www.mehdiplugins.com/misc/) As stated in previous discussions on various forums, the user id simply doesn't match from SMF -> Joomla. So, all of my user galleries are showing up under the wrong names.

If it's easy to fix, how do I do it? If not, then how can I delete all member galleries? I was already planning on using the simple gallery plugin for Community Builder as my new "user gallery" while leaving Coppermine as the place for all of my batch uploads of event photos etc.

Thanks.

Anybody?

No easy way, you need to manually correct the database entries with phpmyadmin.

I see, wouldn't it be a lot easier to just have a script lookup the users in both databases and adjust the memberID accordingly?

[Nibbler]

Sure, but such a script does not exist to my knowledge.

Ok. I'll work on one.

not sure how to fix the problem but I am using the smf bridge with coppermine and the joomla bridge (from joomlahacks.com) with smf and everything seems to be working fine at this point (or it will be once I get it all restored once again - hopefully)

Ok, so if I'm doing this what about the following:

I have the same users in Joomla and SMF. I use their Email address as the common lookup. I read the userid from Coppermine for the album owner (I need help with where this is specifically) and then I use that to query SMF. I then grab the Email Address from SMF and use that to query Joomla. I get the new userid from Joomla and then pass that back to coppermine replacing the SMF userid.

Is this the way to do it?
