Title: [Solved]: bridge issues / going back and forth between forum and cpg
Post by: alex2 on February 10, 2009, 07:47:19 am

i am new at phpbb3 and cpg. . .with no language experince.  using your forum i was able to install the bridge.  here are some issues i have with the install, i couldnt find related threads. i also checked phpbb3 forums

1.  if i log into the forum first and then follow link to gallery, at the botom of forum, it does not recognize the login. (perhaps this is expected)
2.  if i dont log into forum first, but visit forum and follow link to gallery(cpg), login in, redirected to forum and log in succesfully to cpg, when i follow my link at the top of cpg home page back to forum, i am no longer logged into forum- if i follow link back to cpg, im no longer logged in there, if i click log in it redirects me back to forum where i am now logged in and would have to logout in order to log back into cpg (sorry for the run-on).

can i streamline this?  is it my links?  thanks for your patience.  INFO BELOW:

We don't do support on older version and installations made by an autoinstaller. Check this out: (Preliminary Docs for 1.5v) Auto-Installers (http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/auto-installers.htm#auto-installers)

Re install cpg as it should be, using the last version available: v1.4.20. Then bridge it again. Go to: cpg1.4.20 Security release - upgrade mandatory! (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,57882.0.html)

If you try to go back and forth in different sequences you will notice that sometimes you have to logout to log back in. ???  thanks for your help

I have been trying different things with no luck.  Checking other forums too.  DO any other users out there know of this or have run into the same situation when bridging?

Works fine for me. Setting your forum's cookie domain to .myclevercat.net would make them more reliable. Clear your cookies after changing this.
