I have installed the coppermine import module, but am having some difficulty.
When it asks for the coppermine path it won't accept what i enter.

the correct path should be /photoalbums
but it always comes back with an invalid path

any suggestions?

I am also trying to migrate from coppermine to gallery 2, coppermine its enough for me but the development seems to have stoped.
I am afraid os lose my data, i have a 3000+ foto galery with lots of nested categories/albuns, could someone explain how this module work?
Does it only import database data?
Will the current coppermine instalation continues to work?

any tutorial, or documentation or user experiences on this one?

Thanks, you have a great script in here and a great community, this is what OS is about ;)

Cheers from Portugal.

i didnt do that because i´m afraid. I can risk loose my existent gallery.
Does it copy uses database data or it moves also the files and file structure of the existent gallery? if so i cant isnatall gallery2 in a directory called "foto2" and then rename it to my existent "foto" because of the "foto/albuns" structure thar coppermine is using.

some advice please... Im sure lots of users of coppermine want to step of to this much better script.
