Hi all,
I've done extensive searching and it does not appear that there is a working version of xp_publish for the Joomla->Coppermine bridge. I played around with it last night trying to come up with a solution, but ran into a snag.
The main issue I had (and it appears the same as others) was that I could not login. It kept telling me the username/password was invalid and would prompt me to enter it again. To get past this, I copied the login method in the <joomla_dir>/includes/joomla.php, added it to the joomla.inc.php file, renamed the function to "login2", and then pointed to that in the process_login function in xp_publish.php.
This appears to work like a dream as it allows me to login. I then have the option to select a previous album or create a new one. When I create a new one, it does add the record to the albums table. It then will upload the pictures through the Wizard. The kicker is that the records are not added to the pictures table. I also cannot find where the files are being uploaded to. Is there a way to determine where the files are being uploaded to? Also, is there a way to display the SQL statements that are being executed to see why the records are not being added to the pictures database?
I haven't had a lot of time to play with this yet. I've had this happen before even when Coppermine was not bridged. Usually if I deleted temp files and/or rebooted, it worked like a dream. However I did both last night and got nowhere. Thanks for any ideas!
