Been using Dragonfly for a couple years now and thought I'd give Joomla a try, but I need Coppermine. So I looked and found this bridge and was quite happy, as I've installed many php scripts and hacks over the years and this appeared to be just what I needed.

But, after nearly two hours I've still got nothing working.

In the instructions it says "First install com_coppermine.zip inside Joomla."

OK. But where inside Joomla? It's a pretty big script and having a directory name might be nice. I've popped it around from directory to directory but still I get the error "Cannot find 'com_coppermine' component. Seems you need to install it first."

For me the use of Joomla hinges upon being able to have the Coppermine photo gallery. I don't understand why such a highly regarded CMS doesn't include Coppermine (or some other equiv. gallery) , or even a forum. Both Coppermine and PHPBB come pre-bundled with Dragonfly. But DF doesn't have the additional modules like Joomla does.

Anyway, for now I'm back to DF. I rarely have the time to try new scripts and working with this bridge has shot my time for today. I've given up.
