Title: Bridged Coppermine + vBulletin moving to SMF
Post by: metatron on February 08, 2010, 02:23:33 am

Hi guys,

May I ask if ever I move/convert to SMF + Coppermine bridge setup, will I lose all of my Coppermine data (users, albums, permissions, etc.)? If it will, how can I preserve my bridged Coppermine + vBulletin data or onto a different forum software?

Thanks guys.

  5.2.3 Coppermine users, groups and pics uploaded by users are lost when integrating
  Warning: If you already have users and custom groups in your coppermine database when you enable bbs integration, be aware that they will be lost. If your coppermine users have already created private albums and uploaded pics to them, they will be lost as well!

Yes, you'll lose all correlation between old users and new user accounts.

It doesn't matter what app you bridge with.
