phpNuke -> Coppermine Bridge. Not Port

New Member Joined: Apr 30, 2005 Posts: 1

Hi there.

Before i go any further i am fully aware of CPGNuke but it that is a non-option.

Im in the process of creating a bridge file that will be fully compatible of bridging a standalone Coppermine system with phpNuke for those people who like me cant switch over to cpgNuke for whatever reason.

I will admit now I'm not the best at coding these kinds of things but occaisionally i get lucky. At the moment however I am a little bit stuck. I have taken the decision to modify the phpBB bridge as this is already a fully functioning part of phpNuke. What is getting me stuck however is the login system, here is my code so far obviously with my site info deleted.

Code:

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //


// phpBB2 Integration for Coppermine                                         //


// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //


// Modify the values below according to your Board installation              //


// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //





// database configuration


define('PHPBB_DB_NAME', 'db'); // The name of the database used by the board


define('PHPBB_BD_HOST', 'localhost'); // The name of the database server


define('PHPBB_DB_USERNAME', 'root'); // The username to use to connect to the database


define('PHPBB_DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // The password to use to connect to the database





// The web path to your phpBB directory


// If your URL to your board is for example 'http://yoursite_name.com/phpBB2/',


// you'll have to set the below var to '/phpBB2/'.


define('PHPBB_WEB_PATH', '/modules.php?name=Forums');


// Logout Flag


// the value of this boolean constant depends on your phpBB version:


// If your version of phpBB is 2.0.4 or lower - change the value to FALSE;


// if your version of phpBB is 2.0.5 or newer - leave it as TRUE


define('PHPBB_LOGOUT_GET', '/modules.php?name=Forums$'); 


// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //


// You can keep the default values below if your instalation is standard


// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //


// The prefix for the phpBB cookies


define('PHPBB_COOKIE_PREFIX', 'phpbb2mysql'); // The prefix used for board cookies





// Prefix and names for the database tables


define('PHPBB_TABLE_PREFIX', 'nuke_'); // The prefix used for the DB tables


define('PHPBB_USER_TABLE', 'users'); // The members table


define('PHPBB_SESSION_TABLE', 'bbsessions'); // The session table


define('PHPBB_GROUP_TABLE', 'bbgroups'); // The groups table


define('PHPBB_UGROUP_TABLE', 'bbuser_group'); // The group/user table





// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //

Whats getting me stuck is the login coding

Code:

define('PHPBB_WEB_PATH', '/modules.php?name=Forums');

What would i put in here so it logs me into the coppermine gallery rather than just login and redirect to the forum as when i do that im still not logged in on coppermine.

Please help me with this as i really think many phpNuke users will find a good use for it.

If anyone would like to give me more direct help then please feel free to add me to msn messenger: [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

Thank you for reading.

You're not showing the essential information of the file.
You say that you can't login which means there's a cookie problem.

In that file you will find

Code:

    if (!isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[PHPBB_COOKIE_PREFIX . '_data'])) {


        $cookie_uid = 0;


        $cookie_pass = '*';


    } else {


        $sessiondata = unserialize($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[PHPBB_COOKIE_PREFIX . '_data']);


        if (is_array($sessiondata)) {


            $cookie_uid = (isset($sessiondata['userid'])) ? intval($sessiondata['userid']) : 0;


            $cookie_pass = (isset($sessiondata['autologinid'])) ? addslashes($sessiondata['autologinid']) : '*';


        } else {


            $cookie_uid = 0;


            $cookie_pass = '*';


        }


    }

You have to MODIFY THAT CODE to reflect the php-nuke login cookie
