IVE DONE IT! Ok so i dissagree with daniel15 of smf I like handing people answers on silver plates if i can So listen up Step 1. Put Both Coppermine and smf in the same MySQL database (DO NOT USE FANTASTICO use the webintstall that comes built into Coppermine and smf!) In my case I put SMF into Forum_ prefix and Coppermine into Gallery_ prefix Step 2. Bridge the two (using Coppermine bridge manager) Step 3. Create a file called Coppermine.php (yes the capital "C" makes a difference!) save it in "sources" directory in SMF' intallation folder containing :- <?phpif (!defined('SMF')) die('Hacking attempt...');function Coppermine(){ global $context, $mbname, $txt; //Load the main msn template loadtemplate('Coppermine'); //Load the main msn template $context['sub_template'] = 'main';}?>Step 4. Create a file called Coppermine.template.php In your theme (the one your using or want) im using default which makes it easier! It needs to contain <?php function template_main(){ global $db_prefix, $scripturl, $txt, $user_info,$settings, $modSettings; echo ' <center><iframe width="900" height="800" src="LINK"}?>Step 5. In your index.template.php file add this where you want your gallery to appear // The Coppermine Gallery echo ($current_action == 'Coppermine' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '"> </td>' : '' , ' <td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'Coppermine' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '"> <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=Coppermine">Gallery</a> </td>' , $current_action == 'Coppermine' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '"> </td>' : '';Step 6. In the index.php root look for this After that add (on the next line) 'Coppermine' => array('Coppermine.php', 'Coppermine'),That it all that i did and it worked What did go wrong though Well in step 6 if you look at this bit people often change the capital "C" to a lower case it sometimes works but in my case it didn't! In the Coppermine.php file make sure there is no spaces in the file name!

Ya i know i screwed it up for the purpose of this post sorry guys! ill be back once ive found out what i did well anyway before i added a chatroom i had put cooppermine photo gallery into it was well chuffed then i went and screwed it up sorry to everyone who followed that link very unhappykarlosantana very unhappy

IT WORKS!!!!!! love it! however if your doing it for the first time dont get cocy and start adding other things like i did and then screwed it up!

Thankyou shadowx as you said (about adding things where you don't want them) REALLY if your gonna design PHP DONT use WYSIWYG editors as they do add things where you don't want them Dreamweaver is a classic example i was editing my sight well anyway i had to re-install the forum and the gallery etc however it had its benefit though i now have a kick *bottom* forum look at the gallery in particular i will be telling everyone how i did it when its themed as even its teeth are a different colour. gogoily, people make free software for people to use SMF is a classic example! my cousin is a classic example he built the first ever dj'ing software (honest) and he made it free, so ordinary people can start a dj'ing business easily (and cheaply). as shadowx said why are you afraid? or one of these people who have designed software and charge for it? so wnything else is err hurting you pocket? Please explain as I'm interested because everybody wants FREE! p.s. thankyou for everybodys support! it was really nice to look at this post and i was being supported! thankyou! oh also shadowx can i see something you've designed i will tell you why in a pm! [hr=noshade] [/hr] ok guys my board is up! look in the category and you'll see a section called 3 Monthly chalenges and look in there and youll see this topic! see you there! Board is Here

I've bought it and will use it soon! karlosantana

Hi there! errr bryce 5.0 isn't free anymore it was a limited offer and i guess its reached its limits however Sketch up is very good but i cant use the animation (me personaly not that it doesn't work!) Sketch up (download here) Bryce as i said is goneLostRealms.jpg That was created using Daz ? (i cant get rid of that "?" for some reason just ignore it) Which looks REALLY good might give it a go myself! Ive just started downloading it! [EDIT]wait ive found it! Bryce 5.0 and yes its FREE (i love free!)And yes i am downloading Hope this helps Karlosantana

Ok Thanks for your support Tools 1.HTML editor I'm using a FREE WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor that also doubles up as a code editor to! it's called KompoZer You can download it by clicking HERE It looks good! 2. FTP manager There are loads of them! I've used a few but the best has got to be Filezilla There is another one that i use called web CEO but haven't looked for the download link because it requires registering and the whole idea of this post is FREE anonymous Web editing! Theres also another one called FTP Commander That's REALLY good! 3. Free Script Generators Now i have used some generators and in the end I gave up, "Why?" I hear you say simple reason is is that they DON'T work simple reason is is that they're Javascript. So that means javascript generating... Javascript! or html it will include itself somewhere and youll be all chuffed that you've generated a kick-*bottom* script and it wont work (belive me i tried and raked through hundreds, and that isn't an exaggeration i really have been going through hundreds) no dis-respect to strange-garden 4.Free scripts There are so many website that offer free scripts, Javascript, html, php, xhtml ive ever seen some asp believe it or not! Javascript Now javascript is very simple but clever stuff. Javascript generators (as said in 3) DONT work properly so try to aviod them for fear of being humiliated you want to get the script and personalize it yourself(if you use a javascript password BEWARE they are very easy to crack) HTML HTML is clever to if you ever buy a website though dont be fooled by the common expression "i use pure HTML" or "i just use complex pure HTML all my websites use HTML" Get hold of them and shove them up a camels... nose because "pure HTML isnt "complex" its Quite simple, and at the same time it can be hacked password stolen etc JavaScript Source- BRILLIANT i use it for most my javascripts it also has preview pages which help to! Javascript Kit - iv have used this website many times the script do occasionaly not work Dynamic Drive disappointing i used it for the first time and wanted to throw my laptop at the wall. I gave it many chances to prove itself but im sorry Dynamicy you just suck you dont work Free-Javascripts.com very good all scripts work however there isn't a huge choice Java-Scripts.net Impressive! but i did get a couple not work so just the for you im afraid Javascript City.com Incredible the dude who made that knew what to do and how to do it the site even LOOKS nice!, PHP PHP is a reflective programming language originally designed for producing dynamic web pages. PHP is used mainly in server-side scripting, but can be used from a command line interface or in standalone graphical applications. Forums SMF REALLY good nothing but praises for SMF (Small Machines Forum) PHPBB2 Ive Used it the admin board will inevitably stop working no matter how many times you clean your cookies as they suggest you do costumer service also sucks but was impressed at first! These are the best two there are others there one in particular that I've used and it was fantastic built by a student and the money helped fund his studied it was called chameleon board or something as i say it was really good but i cant find it (if you built it and am reading this tell me what happened?) Gallery Coppermine Gallery Fantastic! I get the occasional problem but talk with people enough and someone will help you Plogger BRILLIANT loved it a hickup with building a theme but that always happens to me! Chat WebChat multiple rooms, no browser refresh,emotions, private messages loved it! Open Chat whisper mode is a great idea! a really good idea but i hate the browser keep refreshing with chat your better going with a flash chat because they're just so good! there is a product called flashchat and i was gonna buy it for the pupose of this post but the idea is FREE! e-commerce osCommerce Loved it but did have a couple of problems personalizing it Zencart really good! personalizable easy to use control panel better than many non open source (free) ecommerce things the ratings are =Excellent,Brilliant Good, but had some problems, theres better This is what i've looked at so far If you have any suggestions please do suggest away! if you dont hav an account then GET ONE and suggest away (that isn't meant to be nasty) karlosantana

Ok so i'm starting a 3 Monthly challenge your welcome to give me ideas, however, this one in particular keep your eye on this as i will be putting Video tutorials, links and all sorts for the new web designer (with a very little budget)Think you've got a challenge for me (be realistic)leave a comment here on this board as I've mucked my board up :)Look Forward to hearing from you

Hi there guys! first of all I'm a newbie when it comes to PHP programming and MySql I'm reading a course on it but am still getting stuck with SMF What i want to do I want THIS on top of SMF so its in a frame, or not? if you know anything to help me please can you help! (like THIS) that is ideal if you look at the nav bar on top! anyone who knows how to do it please help me! Karlosantana (thinking of ditching Coppermine )

anyone got any ideas about a costum header nav bar in smf? it just has to contain a html navigation bar???karlosantana

ah well it didnt work! thanks anyway! (gets laptop, counts to 3 and then lobs it at the wall!)karlosantana

that wasnt meant to be a nasty comment honest jlhaslip! i wounder if you could help me a bit more actually! SMF doesnt let you put your own nav bar right at the top like here thats IDEAL!!! ive just been getting more and more fustrated and to top that i accidentally un-installed it and am now installing it again! any ideas would be great and i have googled it honest! (i am a novice when it comes to php or my sql) no you dont have to! its actually in the code! and they don't mind you taking it off, well, smf dont anyway, havent asked coppermine, but will do!karlosantana

ahha pants! (which is an alternative to various obscene words i could've used:D) thanks for that by the way jlhaslip and also why the long name is it initials or something? also HOW DID YOU FIND THAT? i raked through google and couldn't find anything

Right im getting annoyed now! (at Smf And Coppermine thingy)1. Is there a way i can take the little icons that say "mysql" "phpmyadmin" powered by smf/coppermine etc 2. i want to personalize SMF to the teeth but the tutorial on smf's forum doesn't explain it that well i just want my navigation bar on the top i've got a plugin called GLOBAL HEADERS AND FOOTERS but it puts them just under the Welcome "blah" bit and i don't want it there ive gone through the files and every time i change it it'll change back :D REALLY ANNOYINGis there a way to completely wrap coppermine in smf, actually if you look at coppermines site look at the forum and look at the gallery demo... THATS how i want it! I really would appreciate any help!karlosantana

ahha ive had exactly the same problem and am also a computer technician! This is a classic sign of belkin technology they shouldve commited suicide the moment they became! in the end mate i got it working however! it wasnt as fast as the box says it is, ive now switched to a wired connection if you wanna know how to do that pm me! Right first of all put your wireless router into pairing mode on the livebox its the first button also get into the livebox with a wired connection and change the web-key to 1aaaaaabbbbbbccccccdddddd2 for simplicitys sake (thats 1 6xa 6xb 6xc 6xd 2). if you havn't got the wired connection then you might wanna learn the web-key off by heart! Back to the subject belkin like to put their software as default so open it up, somewhere is a setting saying "use windows to configure my device" (if not go into the windows wireless network thingy and change it there) Now things are gonna get MUCH eaiser heres the secret, fiddle! meddle with all the settings (in "change advanced settings" in the windows wireless network manager) Except the device settings you wanna fiddle with the setting that would be used to connect to your livebox! like netwrok encryption keys err everything BUT the device settings, i could do a lot for you if i was there but im not so i can only give you the very technical details "fiddle" the secret to actually knowing what your doing!. Also if you ring up orange and tell them your having problems they give you loads of benefits! like faster broadband in our case Karlosantana ^^^^misses wi

Thanks Micheal your the best i didn't know it did it automatically though! thought an administrator had to do it but there we go you learn something new everyday karlosantana my sites getting better p.s http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ go look but only look at the home forum and gallery cause thats all i've done!

I'm sorry its my bad! i didn't think to keep up in the forums please can you un-suspend me please? i've also spelt my domain name wrong but ill sort that out when I've got the credits (it should be urbaninstincts not insticts) thank you for looking

I happened to stumble over this subject, its funny cause me and my bro where looking it up yesterday, because of the sudden BOOM in diesel pricesThe way a water fueled car works...the tank is filled as normal but with water!.. there is a box (sorry thats all i can describe it as) that makes a chemical reaction causing the h2o to become oxygen(o) and hydrogen(h2) its actually the HYDROGEN thats used not the water! the plus side of using this technology???When hydrogen is burned its bi-product is, wait for it, water so it loops over and over occasionally needing a top up! it smelly lovely mother nature loves it (no pollution) if we were to use it sure wed put oil companies out of business however they'd find somewhere to use it like plastic plastic is oil!If anyone is worried about the boom in oil prices you can use normal cooking oil mixing it 10% deisel to 90% rapeseed oil is the best but normal cooking oil will suffice however make sure you can find an mot guy that can keep his mouth SHUT! or about a couple of days later switch back to diesel and theres no worries!hope this helps karlosantana

Yup you were indeed a help to me! wile learning more about this i happened to stumble upon ebay misspellings, it then got me interested and i looked for misspelling engines and there are!In fact people find these engines and SELL them again ive found loads, do you think i should sell them?? look forward to hearing from anyone karlosantana(thinking of a witty line to go here)

WOW thanks to everyone here that really helped ive created a server for my house with a control panel BRILLIANT!!!

http://webdesignfromscratch.com/web-design-tutorials/ a really good site this guy know what hes talking about and has a lot of experience As he says on the site, a website needs to be Pleasant NOT smacking you in the face when it loads quick to load so image quality may have to be sacrificed and so on hope this helps and be sure to show us the results

number 6 is really cool its not justified and has a sense of "humor" about itlove the image you've got there! really good! are you including an image to it? or is that the final piece?karlosanatanasomething about being a newbie

Windows Live Mail excellent but not that gooder spam protection not happy with it atall actually Windows Live Messenger Fantastic however you do get connection problems with the older version of messengers Windows Live Gallery BRILLIANT its a really good free alternative to picasa (which i never really got on with anyway) Windows Live Writter Not tried it yet but i will do tomorrow right now im off to bed karlosantana newbie nearly

yup, it can happen test it against another stick of ram (be very careful how you hold it) 1. Take the bad one out, 2. Put the good one in 3. if it works theres a problem with the bad ram 4. If it doesn't, start checking your bios for problems (maybe update it this can be dangerous so PLEASE do not hold me responsible when i tell people that i ask them if they want me to do it and 9 time out of 10 they will say yes) Its REALLY fustrating as plug says you will hear drives working see fans working but the damn thing wont work The best place for ram is MicroDirect (The hyperlink will take you straight to the ram section if you need laptop memory) Hope this helps and works, be sure to tell us the results karlosantana NOT a newbie anymore!
