Hi everyone,
I'm a brand new noob, so please go easy if this is in the wrong place. I've been going nuts for quite some time trying to bridge my PHPBB 3.06 forums with Coppermine V.1.4. I keep getting locked out of coppermine after install. My head is done in with settings, emailing digiweb, and everything else. I got the PHP directory bit, it seems 'relative path' is where it keeps going boobies up.
I then happened to go on a fairly big forum ( VBulliten - based ) that I've been a member of for years ... they got hacked through the gallery it would seem, and had been offline for a full week because even their backups were corrupted. My coppermine gallery does everything I want it to, it just goes awry when I try to bridge. Bearing in mind the above example of hacking, might I be better off avoiding it altogether, this bridging lark, and keeping the gallery and forums seperate?
Basically I'm happy enough to have a nice picture on the 'gallery' section of the forum that's clickable. I'm NOT trying to integrate the gallery into the actual forum page ( that means changing templates, and with my knowledge well is best left alone ). The main attraction was to have a single registration for the site and gallery, plus redirect back to the forum.
Any opinions most welcomed.
Thanks,
Tony.
