Class 'drupalPhorumConnector' not found
I'm told that Phorum integration does not work with Drupal 5.1 so I tried to get it working with 4.7 but get this error when trying to administer phorum from Drupal
Fatal error: Class 'drupalPhorumConnector' not found in /usr/local/www/drupal4/modules/phorum_integrate.module on line 68
Can anyone see what I may have overlooked?

Most Drupal users user Drupal's built in forum, you may get more answer to Phroum.module by posting a support request on that modules project page.
Som information on integrating with drupal 5.1
When it comes to integrating phorum with drupal 5.1 I posted some information here: http://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?28,113892
Looking at Phorum
I just noticed this patch and am trying it out.
One question I have is - can Phorum use its own database or does it need to use tables in a Drupal database?
The reason I ask, is that I would hope to have Phorum forums in use on several Drupal sites and don't know if I can manage to use a single Phorum database, or it the whole idea of integration to include Phorum tables in each sites database?
Phorum database
I don't know how much work it is to change this, jpolt. What I'm using (just for testing right now) is to have all tables of phorum inside the drupal db. Think you might have problems if you want one db for phorum and several drupal sites to use only this one, since once users are logged into drupal their ID is used to look up users in the phorum db. So if I'm "Lon" with ID number 3 in one drupal site, and "Lonis" with ID number 5 in another, who am I inside phorum?
