I have been installing this for a few clients here and there, and started goofing with this code integrating into other products.<br /><br />I was curious if anyone out here has ever attempted to integrate Coppermine Photo Gallery into the UBB.Threads login? I know they integrate with other forums, just never had heard anyone talk about it here.<br /><br />Besides Coppermine, are there other alternatives to Photopost? I know about Gallery, but being flat-file based is a detriment these days.

Coppermine is still a good choise. On UBB Photopost was the first integrated gallery and this was promoted (a little bit <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ). I use Copermine for standalone and Photopost for my mainsite.

You do the same thing I do, I have Photopost on two sites (my main and a buddy of mine who liked it)...but for the sites that don't need anything elaborate or don't want to spend the money, I use Coppermine.<br /><br />The code is a bit borky...but I am figuring it out. Was a bit surprised nobody had ever integrated it here.

Well, it also helped that I was a huge Threads fan. In fact, I got hooked up with PhotoPost when I wrote the integration for the Perl version several years back. Threads has always had an edge in development since all my own sites run them. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Coppermine is a good free alternative, one of the better free scripts I've seen; but I've never looked at the code to know how hard an integration might be.

I could probably muddle myself through it (they have a number of "bridges" to other products), but for everyone I set up thus far - if they want to spend some cash on their site, I usually suggest Threads and Photopost (if they need gallery capabilities).<br /><br />Unless they are totally against either product (or want to go the free route), they have always liked both Threads and Photopost.<br /><br />Coppermine in terms of code is decently solid, I am just so used to Threads and how easy it is to navigate through the code, add/change things around, etc, that Coppermine is almost foreign at first glance. I am ironically coding a front-end (albeit I am sure a buggy one) for my clients that 'just' want Coppermine and the semblance of a portal.

Has anyone worked up a .threads/Coppermine bridge?

Naw, I instead wrote a news front-end for Coppermine that works similar to IIP - but is much simpler and is NOT a message forum.<br /><br />At this point a threads bridge will never happen since Threads is unfortunately dead.
