We are pleased to announce the next release software system intended to integrate IPB Forum and CMS Joomla! This release is designed to work with the Joomla version 1.5.x and IPB 2.3.x branch, up to 2.3.6.

As well as in the previous version, there is support for different databases used by  site and forum; and even on different servers . So now there is no limitation imposed by previous versions of our package, and similar charges (and free) packages of integration, that led the administrator to keep the web-project table site and forum in one database.

significant detail to the NON-english-speaking users: our software integration supports work with the "native" distributions Invision Power Board with  NON UTF-8 charset inside. Actually, now no difference to what is encoded Forum - Integration will "understand" any charset. And now you can use even logins and passwords taped in any language.

Purpose:

1. "Through" authentication the user on site and the forum, using a single mechanism of authentication. That is, going into site, you automatically access the forum. And vice versa: going at the forum, the user automatically receives an active session on the site. Accordingly, at the conclusion of session in one of the CMS, is automatically suspended session to another.
   
2. Common to both CMS managing user accounts: the establishment, Editing a login and password, ban, delete the user. All Administration is doing from inside IPB, but are automatically reflected on the user's account on the site.
3. Functions visual "integration", this solution does not provide.
   

   a package of integration:

   • Component for Joomla! - The main functional element;
     
   • Authentication Module for Joomla! - It provides the correct "cross" authorized user on the site and the forum;
   • module for IPB - the forum`s functional part of the "core" package;
   • Guide to amend the source code files forum.
     
     

     Main differences from other similar projects:  

     • not require any changes to the core Joomla code or other components, that allows you to freely install hacks, produce updates, install any third-party components, modules and plugins.  

     • User management in the forum back-end and partial (group) - from site back-end.

     • Opportunity synchronization of user accounts from forum and site (if you have site with many users and recently installed forum, or vice versa -- you have forum for a long time, and the site is first installed).  

     • Fast and fully automated setup the whole package from back-end of  Joomla.

     • Forum and site may be in different domains (eg, the site - www.site.com, forum - www.megaforum.net ) and may use different databases.
