Hi, in case anyone was wondering, this bridge file DOES work. (Actually, I ended up using the bridge file from
here, 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 to ascertain any differences and converge them before it gets released as an official bridge.
But yes, it works
