This should work. Let me know if it does not.
Thanks again to Coppermine for all the hard work. My small contribution!
If you have set a custom cookie prefix in your Invision board, please see the bridge file header for special instructions.
-
Thanks for your contribution.
Note: If you have a custom cookie you will need to revise the following
items on lines 146-148. edit: $_COOKIE['member_id'] and $_COOKIE['pass_hash'].
Example, if you have a cookie prefix of "mysite_" then revise as follows...
$_COOKIE['mysite_member_id'] and $_COOKIE['mysite_pass_hash']
I'm unfamiliar with bridging. But can't this be auto-detected?
-
Probably if I parse the ipb database I can. For the majority of people it will already be plug and play (only if you added a cookie prefix will you need to make those edits). I wanted to get something working to everyone asap :P.
-
What should we have the gallery and forums cookie settings set to?
Thanks for the help!
-
If you set a cookie prefix in the ipb control panel ( 1. Tools & Settings > 2. System Settings > Cookie Prefix) then you need to make the update above. If not then no edits are needed :).
Can anyone confirm if this is working for them?
-
Hopefully someone will. I do not have IPB so cannot test it.
-
I have not been able to get it to work, but appears to be a cookie issuse
i have nothing set in the cookies setting under IPB (default)
in Coppermine i have a cookie name of cpg15x and path to /
Do i need to change the name of the Coppermine cookie name?
-
I will upgrade my gallery and note back my status. I think it should work and I will note any config issues / changes for the group.
-

Same here. That's why I haven't the bridge file to the svn yet.
-
ok. I installed 1.5.6 and fixed the bridge. It works for me great :).
see attached and enjoy!!
-
please use this the latest attached file. I cleaned up a few things to make it generic.
-
Attn mods/admin. Can you please remove all previous attachments (except my last one which works and is the final copy). Thanks! :)
-
I attached your latest contribution to the first post and deleted the rest.
-
thanks!
-
actually can you delete the note and just say "see the bridge file header if you have a cookie prefix for special instructions".
-
Changed initial post in a similar way as suggested.
-
It shows im logged in now !!!
but i can't upload or access the admin panel, ive tried setting my main group to Root Admin and Administrator, neither seem to fix it.
Is there a place I need to devine the Admin group and the Members group ID?
(tried with Use Bridge App groups as NO, still no user or admin menu)
-
You probably need to run the bridge manager directly.
http://yourdomain.tld/your_coppermine_folder/bridgemgr. Use this to run the setup.
Also make sure in the ipb conf_global.php the admin group is set right (root of your forums for the file). Also make sure you adjust all the settings correct for permissions. I found that upon the upgrade all the permissions were wacked (even the admin/members could not upload). You may need to fix that yourself.
Good luck!
-
You are the man, that was it. The numbers got changed in conf_global.php
I thank you from the bottom of my heart, this almost drove me to a inferiour gallery product.
Thank you again! I hope it works for others.

Hello :)
I'm glad that it worked out for you WYoLars, and thnx for the bridge and suggestions Fast Lane....but still I have the same problem...I'm logged in and nothing works
http://taiwaninegypt.com/gallery/
i did as you suggested, but nothing happened :(
1. i ran bridgemanger script (http://mysite.com/gallery/bridgemgr.php) is that right?
2. I checked ipb cong_global.php and nothing changed, it's the same.
3. I adjusted the permissions
after all that, nothing really worked....i'm logged in but neither the admin links are there nor "upload file"....can anyone help please? :'(
-
make sure the conf global file has the right group for the admin (which you are). Next you will need to re-enable permissions in coppermine for uploading (when I upgraded all the permissions were random/demoted).
-
thnx for replying...well...i just did like you told me....
1. the congif_global (of the forum) 'admin_group' is set to 4
2. Premission (on the gallery) for the admin is ok. and i can upload pics.
but still, "I don't have premission!" :(
i'm sorry for my stupid question but do i have to edit these lines?
this one?

}
because it seems that the url to my board is not correct yet the bridge is working. My problem is that I can't upload photos.
-
Yes, "www.yoursite.com/forums" needs updated as well as "../forums/"
if you fix these hopefully everything will work for you.
-
Thank you Fast Lane for your reply...
:)
-
I suggest this be rolled into the next release pending anyone here objecting. I hope it proves helpful :).
-
I suggest this be rolled into the next release
Do you mean the next release of cpg1.5.x? If so, please contribute an updated bridge file.
-
I had read earlier that if I cannot use this bridge if I have files already uploaded in the gallery because the users who are already defined in the gallery with be overwritten. Is this true? Can I use this bridge even with members and files already in the gallery or is it only possible for a new installation?
-
Please read the docs - http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/bridging.htm#integrating_standalone_start
-
i get this error
You don't have permission to access this page.
if i unbridge everything works ok (apart from being bridged..lol)
i cant log into gallery even with stand alone link it just sents me to my admin cp on ipb to log in. this does no good
so how to i change permissions with out being able to log in?
im running IPB 3.1
-
Lane, can i give you ftp pass, because i cant do it :-\
-
Hi, will this work with Invision 3.2.3? :)
-
Give it a go and find out? If it works please come and tell us all. If not post here and maybe someone in the community will be able to assist.
-
Just letting everyone know that this bridge still works with the latest versions of both IPB (3.3.2) and CPG (1.5.20).
The only problem I've encountered is I was unable to get the bridge to properly work if I set it to use IPB's group settings. It looked like the bridge was setup successfully but I was unable to access the config panel, keep getting the you don't have permission error. Granted I didn't spend too much time trying to it to work and just stuck with CPG's groups.
-
IF anyone runs into problems when using bridge app custom groups, here's a fix.

@Andre would you please think about including this InvisionPowerBoard 3.x bridge into the next release of Coppermine? You include the IPB 2.x series in the bridge, but it's out of date.
-
You include the IPB 2.x series in the bridge, but it's out of date.
It wasn't me, but another dev team member ;) However, I'll check if it's possible to add new bridge files to cpg1.5.22. Please reply to this post, as I'll receive a notification in my mailbox.
-
@Αndré Yes, you may want to include InvisionPowerBoard 3.x bridge since right now, IPB is still on the 3.x series. Their current release is 3.3, and it seems like they're going to release 3.4 in the future so this bridge will be valid for awhile.
You may want to remove the IPB 2.x series since I read somewhere that they announced the end-of-life for that series. (No more support or development).
Looking into the future, after IPB 3.4 (where the board is at the core) is moving over to a new platform called IP Community Suite 4.0 series (where the core is stand-alone, and things like the forum, gallery, and blogs are all add-ons). It will also use a brand new system called "IP Connect" to connect with other software. If you're interested, you can read more about "IP Connect" here:
http://community.invisionpower.com/blog/1174/entry-7911-ipboard-34-dev-update-ips-connect/ (http://community.invisionpower.com/blog/1174/entry-7911-ipboard-34-dev-update-ips-connect/)
Hope this information helps,

Hi, in case anyone was wondering, this bridge file DOES work. (Actually, I ended up using the bridge file from here (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,75032.msg361410.html#msg361410), because it looked like it was updated more recently.
I am bridging between Coppermine 1.5.20 and Invision Power Board 3.3.4 -- the latest versions of each. Tested with guest (no log-in), a regular member, and admin.
Some installation notes for non-technical people:- Make sure you disable bridging on Coppermine first!
- After you download and unzip the bridge file, use FTP to copy the file to your "coppermine-gallery/bridge/" folder
- Go back to your coppermine gallery, log-in using your original (unbridged) admin, and start the bridge wizard. In the bridge wizard, you should be able to follow the directions as normal. Be careful with the settings for the URL and relative path. One of them wants a trailing slash, the other doesn't.
- I didn't use custom groups since both my Coppermine and IPB groups are pretty simple
What I tested:- When you click "Register" or "Log-In" from Coppermine, you are correctly taken to the "Registration" and "Sign In" page on IPB, respectively.
- After you log-in from IPB, it redirects you back to the gallery.
- After you log-in as a regular member from IPB, the "Member Profile" in Coppermine properly redirects you to your member profile on IPB
- When you try to log-out from Coppermine, it takes you back to your IPB page but it doesn't actually log you out. Wish this could be fixed, but it's relatively minor.
Hopefully someone technical can take a look at the files attached on this thread and in the other IPB bridge thread (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,75032.msg361410.html#msg361410) to ascertain any differences and converge them before it gets released as an official bridge.
But yes, it works :)

I've attached the bridge file from the other thread to this post so it's easier to find. Anyone using IPB should use this file instead of the one in the original post as it's been updated to work with IPB 3.X.
- When you try to log-out from Coppermine, it takes you back to your IPB page but it doesn't actually log you out. Wish this could be fixed, but it's relatively minor.
I was unable to fix this for IPB 3.3, it has something to do with the session ID not being generated correctly by the bridge script.
I HIGHLY recommend reading the instructions from the bridge file, I've even copied them so make it easier for everyone.
3.x Bridge by Steve Palik
Note: If you have a cookie prefix you will need to revise the following
items on lines 143-145. In in the "cookie_extraction" function (lines 143-145) edit the words
member_id and pass_hash to myprefix_member_id and myprefix_pass_hash (where "myprefix_" is
your custom prefix defined in IPB (IPB control panel... 1. Tools & Settings > 2. System Settings > Cookie Prefix).
ENJOY!!!!
3.3.X Fixes by Elemental Crisis and Dahrkael
Note: All of the redirect links with the expection of Logout should now work. As I was unable to get the logout link to
properly work, I set it to redirect the user to the forum index where they can log out. I also was able to fix the
problem when "Use bridge app custom groups?" was set to "yes", you'll just need to make one small edit to get it
working properly.
Open udb_base.inc.php - Its located in the "bridge" folder.
Find (Starting at line 153):
if ($this->multigroups){
$USER_DATA['groups'] = $this->get_groups($row);
} else {
if ($this->use_post_based_groups){
$USER_DATA['groups'] = array(0 => $row['group_id']);
} else {
$USER_DATA['groups'] = array(0 => (in_array($row['group_id'], $this->admingroups)) ? 1 : 2);
}
}
}
Replace With:
if ($this->use_post_based_groups){
$USER_DATA['groups'] = array(0 => $row['group_id']+100);
} else {
$USER_DATA['groups'] = array(0 => (in_array($row['group_id'], $this->admingroups)) ? 1 : 2);
}
}
If you want more than one goup to have admin access, do the following.
Find (In this file):
$this->admingroups = array($INFO['admin_group']);
Replace With:
$this->admingroups = array();
Put whatever group ID's (Taken from IPB, not Coppermine) you want inside the parentheses separated by a comma.
Make sure to also include your admin group ID, otherwise you won't get admin access.
Example giving admin access to my admin group (ID:4) and my staff group (ID:6).
$this->admingroups = array(4,6);
Hope this helps!

This is excellent -- thank you Elemental Crisis :)

Thanks guys for the updated bridge. Does it only work for Coppermine 1.5 and higher? I get an error, "Fatal error: Class 'Inspekt' not found in line 171" on 1.4, did some googling and it appears to the an incompatible version.
-
Yes, you should upgrade from 1.4.x as a matter of urgency. It has been unsupported for nearly 2 years now so there have been no security updates.

Hi, I cannot get the bridge to work on my test forum running on IPB 3.3.4. The forum is located at www.domain.tld/testforum and the gallery is in www.domain.tld/testforum/gallery. Admin group is 4, conf_global.php file is located in the testforum folder and the test forum's cookie prefix is "test". I also followed the instructions to modify udb_base.inc.php to fix the problem when "use bridge app custom groups" was set to yes.
I logged in using the standalone admin account in the gallery, enabled "use bridge app custom groups" in the bridge manager, no errors show up after clicking on the finish button but it doesn't show any content at all.
Here are the modified parts from the bridge file.
if (isset($bridge_lookup)) {
$default_bridge_data[$bridge_lookup] = array(
'full_name' => 'Invision Power Board 3.x',
'short_name' => 'invisionboard30',
'support_url' => 'http://forums.invisionpower.com/',
'full_forum_url_default' => 'http://www.domain.tld/testforum',
'full_forum_url_used' => 'mandatory,not_empty,no_trailing_slash',
'relative_path_to_config_file_default' => '../',
'relative_path_to_config_file_used' => 'lookfor,conf_global.php',
'use_post_based_groups_default' => '0',
'use_post_based_groups_used' => 'radio,1,0',
);
function cpg_udb()
{
global $BRIDGE;
if (!USE_BRIDGEMGR) {
$this->boardurl = 'http://www.domain.tld/testforum';
require_once('../conf_global.php');
$this->use_post_based_groups = 0;
} else {
require_once($BRIDGE['relative_path_to_config_file'] . 'conf_global.php');
$this->boardurl = $INFO['board_url'];
$this->use_post_based_groups = $BRIDGE['use_post_based_groups'];
}
Cookie prefix
if ($superCage->cookie->keyExists('test_member_id') && $superCage->cookie->keyExists('test_pass_hash')) {
$id = $superCage->cookie->getInt('test_member_id');
$pass = substr($superCage->cookie->getEscaped('test_pass_hash'), 0, 32);
}
Did I miss anything else? Thanks in advance for your help. :)
-
Well, I figured it out the cause and it's the unnecessary _ before the pass_hash and member_id.
-
An update.
Bridge file provided by Elemental Crisis works for CPG 1.5.24 bridged to IPB 3.4.5
