Synchronization issue

Hi. I installed Gallery 2 and a phpBB 3 integration for a client. It is all really well thought through so I sure appreciate the effort that went into the integration.

However, I am having one issue. When I set up Gallery 2 I created an account called Admin and logged in.

On the phpBB 3 board I created an account for myself (different name) and gave myself Admin permissions. I then installed the mod, ran through the Auto Configuration etc.

I was able to upload a picture using the Gallery 2 link. I had to change a few things in Gallery 2 itself.

Now when I log into phpBB 3 it logs me in, directs me to the main index, but I am logged out. I would appreciate guidance on how to solve this issue.

Other users don't seem to be having this problem.

Also, I cannot see to get into Gallery 2 at all anymore. I get this message:

Quote: › Security Violation

The action you attempted is not permitted.

Back to the Gallery

Presumably this is because phpBB 3 is handling the user registration.

So I am not sure how a Gallery 2 Admin would log in to change settings, etc. In any event there is nothing in my phpBB account that indicates I am a Gallery 2 Admin.

Worked like a charm.

Next question: how to I enable the S_GALLERY and related switches? I don't see them in the Gallery 2 settings in the ACP.

S_GALLERY? I don't get what you means...

Mark, the integration will set gallery to embed mode only during the auto-config. You can manually edit gallery2/config.php and set it back if you like. The reason for doing it this way is that if gallery is directly accessible, users can log in to gallery and change account settings and these will not be reflected back to phpBB. There is actually a password issue with embedded gallery and phpbb that prevents access anyway, but this is resolved with G2.3

The readme describes the steps to add gallery admin permissions to users from the phpbb acp.

S_GALLERY is a phpbb template variable that is handled by the integration. You should not need to do anything to it directly. What is the problem you are having?
