While conversing on virtuemarts forum it was pointed out to me that Coppermine, under admin tools, has a bridge wizard to actually bridge Coppermine to Joomla. Is anyone familiar with this and, if so, what would I have to enter to get it to work? I tried entering joomla 1.0.11 and that did not work.

i used this when i set it up once, although i didn't know the one you mentioned existed, this one works very well and i had no problems with it.
