I've started this group because at this moment there is no solution for integrating IP.Board into Drupal (or viceversa).
IP.Board (also known as IPB and Invision Power Board) is a commercial forum software developed by Invision Power Services.

We'll focus on 2 directions:
- Drupal is "king" - everything is processed by Drupal
- IPB is "king" - you guess it... IPB handles requests, users, etc
We also have an official module: http://drupal.org/project/ipbridge

Hi,
I've just installed Drupal 7 to give this a whirl.
I'm getting a strange error though:
Read moreMaking Drupal 7 use a different table for users
We will use the member table from IPB in order to authenticate users in Drupal.
When an IPB user tries to login for the first time in Drupal, his account will be created. This is based on a nice tutorial written by Atchijov on https://www.touchnoc.com/node/86 (thanks Atchijov!).
First you will need to tell Drupal about our third party table by configuring the database details in settings.php:
<?php
/*
* 'default' is your main drupal database
* 'ipb' is your IPB database
*/
$databases = array (
'default' =>
