How can admin create member-albums because of integration old Coppermine Gallery?

[vkrm]

I buyed and installed Photopost this weekend and had to learn a lot.

One i learned this night:
My old Coppermine-Gallery was not bridged to the vB-Forum. So i can´t use the coppermine-import-script: for example the user TESTER has in vB-Forum the user-id "34". In the Coppermine-Gallerie the same User TESTER has an different user-id (for example "67", because of the missing bridge).
When i use the import script, the pictures of TESTER will be put to the wrong user in Photopost/vBulletin (the User with the id "67").

So i think, i will import the pictures of the 75 coppermine-users manually. To do this i must be able to create an member-album for all this users.
So how can an admin in photopost create a new member-album for any Forum-User?

well you can import the content however you may not be able to find all users if they dont exist but if by chance you have usernames the same in coppermine and photopost this script should find the new id

Reassign userid's when switching integrations to VBulletin

well you can import the content however you may not be able to find all users if they dont exist...

That doesn´t works. I think, you don´t understand the situation. I have not the problem, that in vB some User-IDs or Names not exist. They exist all, but they are wrong (different in Coppermine and VBulletin).

Coppermine-Album: WWW.ROCKET3.ORG --- FOTOALBUM - Home

Photopost: A community photo gallery - My Photo Gallery
- new photopost installation
- coppermine-import script worked and i made after this all things you write to do them.
- the most pictures the script importet as private albums in the member area; in coppermine all albums was public??
- you can see a lot of empty rows at photopost-startsite; why?

I made userfix after that, but there changes nothing.

Example to explain
Coppermine:
USER "obonski" = Coppermine-ID 32 has 5 Albums:
WWW.ROCKET3.ORG --- FOTOALBUM - Home > Ich und meine Triumph Rocket III (User-Bereich) > obonski
In his Album "Plakat" you can find this Picture: WWW.ROCKET3.ORG --- FOTOALBUM - Plakat/SPA50929

Photopost after Import and Userfix:
No User-Album for the User Obonski exist.
The Album "Plaket" and his Picture from Coppermine now belongs to the User "Higgens", who has in vBulletin the ID 32 (in Coppermine Higgens don´t exist, because he never uploaded pictures):
Alle Alben - My Photo Gallery
SPA50929.JPG - My Photo Gallery
Interesting ist, that in the database "vb3_users" the userid 32 belongs to "Higgens", in the database "pp_users" from Photopost the userid 32 belongs to "obonski" (how in coppermine).

I think this could only works per import-script, when the import script would ask me to each Coppermine-Album to which PP-User it must be importet!

Or manually Import as i asked first.

Or you show me, how i can move the 5 albums from "higgens" to the User "obonski" in PP.

Another error in the "scan database"-function:
"Rebuild all medium images." works without problems
"Check for and create missing thumbnails." also
but with "Rebuild all thumbnails." this error happens every time:

------------------------------------
And another error.
After the coppermin-import i tried to import the albums, which some Users made in the vBulletin-Forum (with ppimportalbums.php).
Example for this: http://www.rocket3.org/board/album.php?u=109
But starting this script also makes errors:

done...

1. Please read the thread I gave you that is EXACTLY what that script is for. It checks your forum for the userid of a person based on there username and updates photopost with the proper userid.

2. You need to set the proper path to mogrify in config settings or on the server or set the processor to GD2 in global options.

3. You need to use the proper configuration variables to retrieve the information from vb. The error suggests you have not.

Hello Chuck,

for a men from germany with bad english is your answer a litte bit short to understand all.

to 1.
the script "userid" runs without any error - so why are the user-ids after this still wrong?

to 2.
database scan "create medium pictures" works fine.
Upload a 4 MB Picture works fine (PP makes a 2000 Pixel + Medium + Thumbnail).
So i think, ImageMagik works. Why do you mean, the path to mogrify is wrong?

to 3.
what do you mean with "proper configuration variables".
Your ppimportalbums.php has no config-file to fill with variables.


And again the question: "So how can an admin in photopost create manually a new member-album for any Forum-User? "

[Chuck S]

1. Are you sure your running it against the proper database tables we are talking you do this after photopost is integrated with vbulletin and after the coppermine stuff is there. All this does is grab a username on a photo entry query the userid from the forum and update it in the photos table

2. error 1 is a permissions issue. either there is permissions issues with mogrify itself or your permissions are not 777 on the data directory at all levels recursively

3. Look at your errors your posting. This script explicitly REQUIRES you to have a working photopost integrated with vbulletin correctly.

You might actually want to send server information and admin login through the contact us link.

OK - it is done.
I have set the Forum and the Coppermine to Service-Mode, so you can work without traffic from Users.
In Germany now it ist 1.oo AM and i must go to bed. I hope for tomorrow.
Thanks for your work on a sunday.

[Chuck S]

Okay well its 8pm on a sunday here so we shall see. Might not get to look at it till the morning here

[Chuck S]

Cant say what you where doing but clearly took all of 5 minutes to run the import script and userfix and your site works fine for me

?? i don´t know why.
Could this happened, because during my work the Forum was not in Service-Mode?

At the first look, the most seems OK.
For Example the 5 Albums from User "obonski": 3 are right and belong to him, the 2 others now belong me (admin).
I will have a deeper look today and then give you feedback.

[Chuck S]

Well its like this. I can release tools that might help you do something the product is intended not to do but I cant guarantee things are going to be 100% when your coppermine was not integrated with vbulletin.

The coppermine importer is to import coppermine into a photopost mainly keeping the same integration type you had.
