we will definitely not "borrow" code from a commercial app. Not sure what you're trying to suggest.
Ok i'll tell u again
If we'vw to install coppermine with mambo cms the whole process is :
1) upload cpg on same site
2) To integrate (bridge) we use same sql database of mambo in cpg , with this automatically all the cpg_ tables are created in mambo database.
3) Now everything is clear if we want to get registered with cpg the user databse is same of mambo or its common database
*** Now in this case in future if i want to delete this database of cpg or want to discontinue mambo cms & want to install any new cms i'll not able to use that immediatly because if i'll delete all the entries of mambo cms or cpg from same database & it can give errors.
2nd Case Now when we bridge Photopost with mambo
1) we upload photopost on same site ( like cpg)
2) IN integration process there are two options :-
i) We can use same mambo sql database for sharing users & to install database of
photopost
ii) We can use same database for sharing users of mambo but can make new
sql database for photopost where al the gallery data will be installed (no users will
be there in this database,obviously we will set instructions in config of photopost
from where to get users)
*** Now what the benefit is photopost is only using users from mambo database & all its
own data is installed in other database, in future if i want to change mambo cms to
some other,then in photopost ive to change only shared database name mean to
say all the gallery database is secure only users will be changed
Sorry if i u cant understand !!!
Please for once read the config code above , there are options written which are self explanable
This is very good feature if u caught what i say
Thanks
