Coppermine has a built in bridge to bridge to SMF. You can just install Coppermine on /gallery, and SMF on /forum, TP over SMF, then go to Coppermine admin and bridge it to SMF.

When bridged, it will then use the userdatabase of SMF and user registration page of SMF.

Later, manually change the theme and add a button to your theme.

Here's my site with SMF, TP and Coppermine. I have ReviewPost as well.

I have set up a testing folder on my server just to see how are things working... one thing i don't understand regarding diffirent themes - do i need to instal SMF theme to change the view of my portal or i need to install TP theme instead? What is the diffirence?

And what if i install (bridge) coppermine also... is this script going to work under the old "regime" or it will be influenced by the SMF or TP...

When you have TP installed you then need to use themes that are designed for TP, themes that are written just for SMF will not work/display correctly after you have TP installed.

The smf-Coppermine bridge only connects the Coppermine gallery to the SMF member base... the two of them (SMF & cpg) have no other connection and do not influence each other in any way except for that members data.
