Coppermine Tutorial:Forum Integration

Integration of Coppermine with Bulletin Boards

Coppermine can be integrated with the following applications (meaning Coppermine will share the same username/password database with the application it is being integrated with).

NB: We strongly recommend creating a backup of both applications before proceeding with the integration.

Invision Power Board 2.x

phpBB versions prior to 2.0.18

phpBB version 2.0.18 or better

phpBB 2.2

PunBB v1.1.5

PunBB v1.2

Simple Machines (SMF)

vBulletin 3.0

Woltlab Burning Board 2.1

MyBB Release Candidate 4

XMB 1.9

Xoops 2.0

Phorum 5

The 1.4x version of Coppermine has a built-in Integration Manager which is pretty straight forward and easy to use. To access it, log in as administrator to your Coppermine Gallery and click on the Admin Tools button.

The Bridge Manager section is at the bottom

We will cover only a few of the integrations here, since all of them are done in the same way.
