EDIT - I think I have found a solution to this myself, Ill post back if it works and save people any hastle - sorry for the hastle...




I have the following issue when trying to bridge coppermine and phpBB 2.0.19:

I have followed the guidelines on how to integrate phpbb with cpg 1.4.3 (from the manual).
I have found that it does not port across the "ranks" which are easily selectable/configurable in phpBB, but rather it uses the "usergroup" settings.

I have set a usergroup on phpBB called "test spaces" and placed the user chesterfield2 in to it.
This group is recognised by coppermine, and is displayed in the groups section just fine.  However when viewing "users" the user chesterfield2 is still under "registered" rather than the group of "test spaces".

So the groupsare being brought across just fine, but the users still reside in their deafult coppermine groups.  Can anyone help resolve this?

I have just created another test user called chesterfield3, and then added them to the "test spaces" group on phpbb an it has placed them in the correct group in cpg.

I initially set up cpg NOT to import the usergroups, and launched it.  Therefor it created all the users.  It now seems that after setting it to use the usergroups, only new users will be placed in the correct group on coppermine?

Make sense?
