Hello there!
First off, kuddos for putting this project back on tracks! Coppermine is the best image gallery I've tried so far, and god knows I've tried many, so it was a shame to see it disappear... I just hope Greg is okay... :cry:
Anyway... I installed the CPG 111 version ported to PHPBB 2.0.4. Everything works great but a couple of details which are bothering me :roll:
1/ When I'm on Coppermine and I click on "users" as an admin, i get a 404 page for "usermgr.php" but it IS online, I promise !!! It's just when I turn the PHPBB bridge on that i get a 404, otherwise it works just fine... Is this a known bug, and how should I correct it ?
2/ There was a "logout" bug that led to the infamous "invalid session" error on PHPBB but I corrected that by passing the session ID in the log out link from Coppermine.
3/ My boards and coppermine are related and working together BUT, right now the only persons who can upload in public folders are the persons who are admins on the boards. And I don't want that to happen... Some of my users would like to be able to contribute to the gallery BUT I don't want them to have an admin access to the boards, and i just want particular registred users to be able to upload,
not all of them... Now... erm... how should I do that ?
I tried many many things but none of them worked yet.
I tried to create a usergroup called "uploaders" in PHPBB. This group appeared in Coppermine, so I changed its properties so its members can upload. But it's not working... Right now only myself (as an admin) and my co-admin can upload.
Maybe it's not a usergroup I should have created, but a user level ? Like Admin, Mod, Uploader? But if this is the solution, how do I do that ?
I was thinking of another solution as well... I can directly create coppermine users in PHPMYAdmin, and set the right permissions, but it would mean that at the moment where people want to upload, the code should look at the COPPERMINE user table, not the PHPBB one... ANd I don't know how to do that...
I have a bit of PHP knowledge and I can use PHPMyAdmin no problem but well... I'm kinda limited... I tried to tweak the code here and there but it didn't change a thing...
Now maybe there are easier solutions that I'm not aware of... I would realllly appreciate it if you guys could give me a hand on that matter... If you need more details and / or access to the forum/gallery, please feel free to ask so
Cheers,
Mels.
