| Full Native support for Iphone on RCC
I just installed an unbelievably cool mod on my vbulletin board for our club. It's called 'Tapatalk'. What it does is allow the iphone to display bulletin boards in the native style that the iphone menu's are displayed in. Which, for a board this huge, makes it EXTREMELY nice to be able to visit threads and not have to zoom/scroll, zoom/scroll... The app to be able to utilize that mod is now in the app store, and currently available to only the US. There is a second release on the way that is going to support all markets, it has already been submitted to apple evidently for approval. The only downside for end users is that the app costs $2.99, but, it's completely worth it I think. Installation of the board mod takes as long as logging into the ftp client you all use, and uploading one folder to your root directory of the board. That's it, no integrating mods etc. Just upload the folder and then register your forum on their website to allow it to be published, and that's all there is to it. Completely free from RCC's standpoint. I installed it on my board from start to finish on our board in about 4-5 mins. Here are some pics of it as it shows up on the Iphone on our board: Pictures that are within posts translate great too: |

| There is one security flaw currently in the software, they have fixed it and included it in the pending release of the next version. One thing I have noticed is that in this version, there is an absence of being able to access PM's, supposedly there is a fix in the works for that, admin and mod controls, etc. Check out their site, it's www.tapatalk.com I think that once they get it completely ironed out, it's going to be a very popular thing. May not reach the heights of Twitter etc, but it'll be really useful.

That info was in an email they sent me where I signed up for updates on the release of the app. The entire email won't fit on here, but I printed it as a pdf and pm'd you the link to where I have it posted.

I just got the app for one of my other forums I frequent. I like it a lot. Was wondering if it was on here yet too?

To add to what Robbob posted, here are a couple of posts from their community site: Quote:

http://tapa.tk/forum/showthread.php?...light=security Alternatively, if you want to look into a VB produced mobile app, they released one not long ago. Supposedly early this year you will be able to have them re-brand it for you at a cost. If you have an iphone you can download the app for free currently and check out the interface viewing just the vbulletin.org forum. Last edited by HomerJ; 01-04-2011 at 01:38 PM. | ||

Yeah can you believe those idiots at VB released an app that ONLY is capable of viewing their VB site? Who visits VB's forum for pleasure? I know the only time I am on VB's forum is if I am having issues and that would be on my PC so I can implement any fixes I find onto my site, why in the hell would I do searches on my iPhone only to have to do the same search again on my PC to actually fix the issue? Makes no sense to me. It is good to know they are thinking about re-branding it for other sites, that I would pay for. | |
