[Beta 1.5.4] Coppermine Photo Album - YabbSE Integration Bridge V 0.9.2

[jack-uk]

This package allows you to make the Coppermine photo album software use the YabbSE user and group information, and the YaBB SE cookies for authentication.

This preforms a similar function as Spaceman-Spiff's photo gallery integratino mod, except that with this, things aren't as completely integrated, but this has no impact on the source code of YaBB SE, and just requires a configuration change on Coppermine - making upgrading either package a snap

Installation instructions are in the Readme.txt file in the package.

Enjoy!

** Updated to 0.9.2

Thanks for this...having a few problems though:

Fatal error: Failed opening required 'bridge/yabbse.inc.php' (include_path='.;c:\php\includes') in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\vandalay\gallery\include\init.inc.php on line 146

the init.inc is having trouble including the yabbse bridge file....I have tried many combinations for directory links to try and resolve the problem.  Any ideas?

A Windows server  

Has Windows 'helpfully' renamed the yabbse.inc.php file to something else, maybe?

[zarsky99]

jack,

No it was an include path problem...as i suspected...I fixed it a crappy way...i have a few other problems I noticed already:

session check failure when loggin out.

Code Select Expand

An Error Has Occurred!

Session check failure. Please try again.


profile link does not load the yabbse profile page...nor does it load the gallery profile page.

"users" link in gallery does not load the member list or anything very useful

Ahh, now I remember why I removed the Coppermine logout button There's a security feature in YaBB SE designed to stop exactly the type of thing that tries to do.

profile link does not load the yabbse profile page...nor does it load the gallery profile page.

As above (I think)

"users" link in gallery does not load the member list or anything very useful

Unfortunateley, there isn't anything like the Coppermine user nmanager in YaBB, I can't think of anything useful for this to do.

Ideas are welcome though

[zarsky99]

Jack...yeah i agree with you so far...I will think it over...other than what I pointed out this script seems to work as expected.

[jack-uk]

(apologies for typos etc. at the mo, cos I am a little drunk )

The way I have concentrated on bypassing these problems is to use SSI.php, and the menu function it contains in the coppermine template.

To do this reqires a few changes...
In coppermine/include/mailer.inc.php

rename the function 'smtp_mail' and 'server_parse' to something different (I use 'sm_smtp_mail' and 'cm_server_parse')& change all references to it (they are all in the same file)

edit SSI.php & change any reference to $language to $full_yabbse_path. '/' .$language and change $chklngfile2 to $full_yabbse_path. '/' .$chklngfile2.

Using the relevant functions from the YaBB SE menu is much simpler (and wil help give a consisyent feel to your site).

I installed your script last week on a test site and had no problems with it at all.  Just to let you know that it works without any errors.
Good job man!

I got also an error with the windows server but Spacemanspiff knows how to fix it

[zarsky99]

BiErLeEuW,

Care to share?

[jack-uk]

Found a couple of bugs - nothing too major, both are to do with user groups. But I'm not gonna be able to fix them till tomorrow ..

If you have a user group with an apostrophe (') in it's name, members of that group cannot access Coppermine at all. This is probably an 'escaping' problem and I don't see it being too difficult to fix.

If you make changes to user groups in Yabb SE, settings for all custom groups will be lost in Coppermine. I haven't investigated this yet, but Yabb SE might be playing silly buggers with group IDs.

I'll try and get a fix for both problems available in 24 hrs or so, but now it's time for bed

I have just installed coppermine, and uploaded the edited bridge files. However, I don't understand the bit in the instructions that says

Do what you need to do to make yabbse.inc.php readable by php.

What do I have to do here?

this means: CHMOD properly and see to it that the extension ".php" is parsed - you probably won't have to do anything special at all, just skip the step and see for yourself

Thanks, but I see no reference in the YaBB code to the file yabbse.inc.php , so which file accesses it?

[Sausage]

Okay, I've followed the instructions, but I don't appear to see any of my YaBBSE user info in the my profile tab of coppermine.  How can I check if the bridge is working?
