FUDforum Integration module
==============================================================================

This module provides integration with FUDforum (http://fudforum.org/). 
The following (all optional) blocks are provided to integrate your forum with 
your drupal site:

1) FUDforum: User login
   Allow forum users to login to your drupal site with their forum userids 
   and passwords. When a user changes his/her Drupal profile, the changes 
   will be synced back to the forum database. Likewise, if the user changes 
   his/her forum profile, it will be synced back to the Drupal site next 
   time he/she logs in. 

2) FUDforum: New forum posts
   Display a list of the 10 latest forum messages.

3) FUDforum: Online forum users
   Display a list of all on-line forum users.

4) FUDforum: Forum statistics
   Display forum statistics including: number of users, threads, messages,
   newest member, etc.

Prerequisites 	 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 	 
This module assumes that FUDforum was configured to use PATH_INFO style URLs. 	 
See setting in FUDForum's Admin Control Panel. If not, you will have to change 	 
the URL format in the module code yourself.
