I have the following issue when trying to bridge coppermine and phpbb 3.0.2:

When I log on to phpbb 3.0.2 and then go to coppermine it does not show me being logged in.

Coppermine install: http://www.coolthaihouse.com/cthpics/
Forum install: http://www.coolthaihouse.com/forum/
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.16
Forum version: phpbb 3.0.2
Test user account:
BridgeManager settings:
Forum URL:  www.coolthaihouse.com/forum
Relative path to your BBS's config file:  ../forum/
Use post-based groups?:  0
Cookie name/preifx phpbb3_8p4br

I hope you can take a look at my BridgeManager settings and tell me if these look OK.  I currently have the old bridge back up and running.  It is working well, but I would like to be able to upgrade to the new bridge as the old bridge is no longer supported.

Please take a look at the way I filled in the mods to the bridgemgr.php:
// KM 090214:  new coppermine phpbb bridge mods
$default_bridge_data['phpbb3'] = array(
  'full_name' => 'phpBB version 3',
  'short_name' => 'phpbb3',
  'support_url' => 'http://www.phpbb.com/',
  'full_forum_url_default' => 'http://www.coolthaihouse.com/forum',
  'full_forum_url_used' => 'http://www.coolthaihouse.com/forum',
  'relative_path_to_config_file_default' => '../forum/',
  'relative_path_to_config_file_used' => '../forum/',
  'use_post_based_groups_default' => '0',
  'use_post_based_groups_used' => 'radio,1,0',
   'cookie_prefix_default' => '',
   'cookie_prefix_used' => 'phpbb3_8p4br',
);
// KM 090214:  end bridge mods

Does it look OK?

If there is anything obvious I will fix it, otherwise I can post a note that the gallery will be unavailable to provide for testing.

Thanks in advance.

Instructions don't say to 'fill in' anything. You are supposed to copy and paste the code without modification.

Thanks for the quick response.  What confused me before which let me to modify the above code was this.....   I don't see where to fill in the cookie name.  In my case the cookie_prefix should be phpbb3_8p4br.  Where does this get filled in?

I ended up installing the bridge per the instructions.  I had the problem where it wouldn't recognize on coppermine that I was logged in.  This time I went into phpmyadmin and manually adjusted the cookie_prefix in the bridge file to be phpbb3_8p4br and it worked, but I'm sure this should get filled in somewhere else.....

Thanks a bunch for the support by the way, nice to have the new bridge installed and working.

Do exactly as suggested in the sticky thread "When requesting bridge support - mandatory!" on this sub-board. Those instructions are pretty straightforward IMO. There's a reason why we labelled that thread to be mandatory: it is mandatory to read it and do as suggested there if you want support. Failing to read it or failing to do as suggested there will lead to only one thing: we will not be able to help you. This is frustrating both for you as well as for us.
