Coppermine Gallery 1.3.3 and vBulletin 3.0.0 Integration |
Version 1.0 |
Compiled by SpeedStreet |
|
I'm not the hacker for this; I am merely the guy who poured through all of the threads on vBulletin.org and the Coppermine Development Forums to come up with one definitive post about integrating vBulletin with Coppermine. |
|
WHAT IT DOES: |
At the end of this how-to, you're installations of vBulletin and Coppermine will work together off of the same login. While everyone else wants to see all sorts of integration between the two, I believe this is the first step to making those things happen. |
|
CREDITS: |
A big thanks to everyone over at Coppermine for a terrific product and the users that support and mod it on a daily basis. I am merely standing on the shoulders of giants here, folks. Also, Nanobot was the guy over there that did the vB3 Gamma bridge, so the credit for that is all his. |

FILES TO EDIT (2): |

FINAL WARNINGS: |
|
There are seem to be some issues with people integrating this with forums located on subdomains (e.g. subaruforums.speedstreet.org). Please reference the Coppermine Gamma Thread above for more info. |
Please ensure that Coppermine and vBulletin cookies are NOT named the same thing. |

|
HOW TO INTEGRATE: |
1.) Download vbulletin30.inc.php (provided as an archive with this hack) |
2.) Open for Editing vbulletin30.inc.php and edit the following with data specific to your site: |
|
//NOTE : Your vBulletin license number is provided at the top of every php file in your vBulletin installation! |
define('VB_CUST_NO', 'xxxxxxxx'); // Your vBulletin license number (NOT your customer number) |
define('VB_DB_NAME', 'forum'); // The name of the database used by the board |
define('VB_BD_HOST', 'localhost'); // The name of the database server |
define('VB_DB_USERNAME', 'username'); // The username to use to connect to the database |
define('VB_DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // The password to use to connect to the database |
|
// The web path to your vBulletin Board directory |
// In this example http://yoursite_name.com/vbulletin3/ |
define('VB_WEB_PATH', '/vbulletin3/'); |
|
3.) Save vbulletin30.inc.php to the bridge directory of your Coppermine installation |
4.) Open for Editing init.inc.php (located in the /include directory of your Coppermine installation |
Find: |
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'vbulletin30'); |
Remove the double slashes in front of the line to uncomment |
|
5. Save init.inc.php to the include directory of your Coppermine installation |
6. Point your browser to your Coppermine installation and verify integration is complete. |
|
That should do it. I tried it on a fresh install of both, and a custom install to an existing board. Both worked fine. |
