Hello people,
Here is Sergio, from Brazil.
First of all: I used search board, but my EXACTLY doubt I haven't found.
I liked a comparation topic (
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,6158.0.html ) but it is not what I need.
I read here people who bought Photopost and... do not like it very much and migrate to Coppermine.
So, if this happened and... I believe we can have very good softwares NOT PAID.. maybe I can use Coppermine for what I need to. Maybe someone need to do the kind of integration I need.
Some months ago I posted in SMF forum:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=340369.msg2291299#msg2291299The doubt was:
vBulletin + photopost is the same of SMF + ___ ?People suggest me to use
Coppermine or gallery2.
----
I was taking a look in Bodybuilding.com website.
It makes an integration between STORE, SUPERSITE, FORUM AND 'BODY SPACE'.
Let's forget STORE and SUPERSITE and let's talk about FORUM + BODY SPACE integration, right?
User login in one of the systems will be logged in others "modules" of the website.
"Forum" uses vBulletin and 'Body Space" uses photopost system that has an integration to vBulletin foruns.
You can see the links here:
BodySpace: http //bodyspace bodybuilding com/
Forum: http //forum bodybuilding com/
I use CS-CART (www cs-cart com) like my webstore system.
MY BIG DOUBT IS:
is possible to use SMF like the forum and Coppermine like gallery to make things work like BODYBUILDING.com website?
For example: I register like a webstore user (cs-cart) and after that I will can use FORUM or BodySpace (gallery) with the same login, without necessity to login in each one module separete?
I THOUGHT IN ONE THING:
1. Register will have the same boards (username, name, last name, email...) to all systems. So, when a costumer register in ONE of them, he will be register in all.
I think the big problem is not the register, but HOW one software will "TALK" to the other.
For example: I have just logged in inside CART (webstore)... how can SMF or COPPERMINE know it? Cookies?
I don't know if I were very clear in my doubt.
When I asked if SMF and Coppermine can be used like vBulletin and photopost I want to know if I can take the same EFFECT that people from Bodybuilding.com has in their website: a costumer can put his own photos and when he is using the FORUM (vBulletin) the link of the user in the forum will redirect for it profile in the photopost. So, there is an integration between them.(see imagem in attachment)
When you are in Bodyspace (
http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/) you can see not just Photos from people, but others things like: body stats, goals sets, workouts, supplements people use, videos, comments...
Thanks for your help!
