Doesn't seem like it would be too much trouble to install. And would be great for a lot of users I'm sure...

It basically makes the forums viewable in a native app for the mobile users. This speeds things up a lot! And makes it look very nice.

Come on guys, Hackmodford can't possibly be the only person interested in this...

(More feedback please; that's what this forum is here for!)

(makes a droning 'humm...' noise)

I don't have a cell/smart phone that isn't parts now, but if I had one that was still a smart-phone I'd be quite enthusiastic about this.

Whoever has high acess to the forums has to simply install the plugin/script on the server. Once that's done the rest is automatic. The forums that are in the app are the ones that already have the plugin.

Isn't that what this is? But yeah let's do it!

Change the name of it or make a brand new thread linking it to this thread and also make it like a poll if possible just putting in yes and no or just yes to see how many people want this... also can it be made so full editor isnt needed? it would be cool to see a petition for something here i mean this is....

The problem is this forum is hidden from non-logged in users, so not many people see it...hint hint

So yeah, you'll probably need someone with FTP access.

We must do this we all desperately need this someone please do it!

Edit: Im about to start a poll about this it will be in forum 42 or what other forum should this be in?

I think Spongebuell has FTP access still...

Wait this forum isn't visible when you aren't logged in? Dammit dammit dammit

That's what happens when you have all your browsers log in automatically.

This would be handy for me, as I often moderate from my iPod Touch. Also, I intend to play around with Android soon, so I support it doubly.

Just for reference here's the instructions...

Code:

phpBB - Installation

Place the zip package at the root of your forum system.
Unzip the package. You should see a directory called "mobiquo" inside your forum system root directory. For example, if your forum URL is http://www.mysite.com/forum, it should be placed at http://www.mysite.com/forum/mobiquo/.
Edit the file /<phpBB3_root>/styles/{YOUR_STYLE}/template/overall_footer.html
Search in this file:

--------------------

</body>
</html>

--------------------

Insert the following line above them

------------------------------------------------------------------

<script type="text/javascript" src="mobiquo/tapatalkdetect.js"></script>

------------------------------------------------------------------

Purge the forum cache by logging in to the administration panel, find "Resynchronize or reset statistics" in the "General" section, click "Purge the cache".
Continue to next step


"So how do I know if I installed properly?" - As soon as you added your forum information here, a simple tool is provided to verify your installation. If it doesn't appear to be working properly, you can post your problem at Community Forum and we will assist you any problem that you might have.

Has anything happened with this?

I just got an android phone (which has tapatalk) and in addition to my iPod this would be really really useful!
