What IPB for Drupal does
Settings IPB for Drupal in the Drupal administration.
Use IPB login to connect to Drupal.
Use IPB session to connect to Drupal.
Use information from IPB in Drupal:
"Online users" block.
Note that this module still has some bugs, but there getting fixed..
Download at own risk:
https://github.com/llaumgui/ipb-for-drupal
Using it myself on live site, works great, but drupal register must be turned off since the user only works from IPB--->drupal.

To bad the author of the bridge does not really care about the project... i reported a bug with boost, instead of fixing it, he just says 'won't work with boost'.. reported other bug, two weeks ago, no reply.... It seems there is a curse on bridges between drupal and forum systems.
Sandbox project using IPS Connect
I found another sanbox project using IPS Connect for user synchronization: http://drupal.org/sandbox/NBZ4live/1880568

Intresting! Contacted the author to get the code so i can try to find bugs and have something thats stable :)
How stable is this and future
How stable is this and future proof? Will it cause issues if ever the module stops compatability?
Thank you.

iam using the code from the sandbox on my live website, it has no interface or documentation nor support(hence the sandbox), but it works and is being actively maintained, slow, but active.

would you be so kind an let me know how to set it up? Thank you :)
Instructions
Download it from: http://ge.tt/3myBKXg/v/0
1. Install as usual
2. Disable drupal registration!
3. Enable IPB registration and IPB connect
4. note the ipb connect key and url
5. edit settings.php and ad the following data:
$conf['ips_connect_master_url'] = 'yourconnecturl';$conf['ips_connect_master_key'] = 'yourkey';
$conf['ips_connect_displayname_field'] = 'field_displayname'; // This is optional. You can add such text field to the user entity. If this variable is set, the module will save the user's display name from the ips master to this field. Then you can use a module like (http://drupal.org/project/realname) to display this name to the public.
Not Having Any Luck
Maybe I am just missing something. Here is what I have done.
When I log into the IP.Board I do see a cookie being set but the Drupal installation doesn't seem to see anything. I'm assuming that if this is working correctly then once I'm logged into IP.Board I will also be shown as logged into the Drupal system as well, is that correct?
Any assistance you can offer would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Hello, you won't be logged in
Hello,
you won't be logged in drupal, this is not that kinda brigde... its just a single sign on systeem... when you create a account on the forum site and then login in drupal, it will create your account and do nothing more then sync the username,password,mail... To bad the module is not being worked on :(
Thank you!
Thank you for your reply, now it makes more sense. The one-login part does work, just not auto-login.
It does seem that a LOT of Drupal / IPB modules get started then get abandon before they are finished and that is sad!
How hard would it be to hack a login form that would submit the information to IPB and Drupal at the same time to log both in at once?
Thanks again!
I had a e-mail conversation
I had a e-mail conversation with the module creator and he said he would finish it, but i guess something came in between, but hey, the module works great and thats what counts.
About the session sync: I don't know, but since IPB is the master, you would to take a look at the documentation, if there is any :).
Ok will give it a go. Thank
Ok will give it a go. Thank you.
Wish I could get this to work.
I want users to be able to register on my Drupal site and also auto login to my IPB site.
