Intergrating users without embedding?

Hi there,

I run a website that currently runs phpBB2 and Coppermine with the user databases linked, and I would like to upgrade both to phpBB3 and Gallery2.

With my current installation phpBB2 is accessible to users at http://www.mywebsite.com/forum/ and Coppermine at http://www.mywebsite.com/photos/
I have been playing around with an offline version to test the upgrade, but it appears that your phpBB3-Gallery2 integration embeds the gallery into the forum rather than just sharing the user account details. This means that you can only access the gallery from /forum/ not /photos/ as it is currently.

Is there anyway around this as I would like to keep the two separate as they are now, just sharing the user database?

Cheers

Gallery is not really written to be used this way. It is intended to be embedded in the master app. It could probably be made to work the way you want, but that is not how the integration is built. The integration user management is one-way. Your implementation would need two-way user management.
