Native phone app for phpBB's??

#1

Post by gallons-walters »

Is there any thought to either adding the extensions (if they exists) or upgrading to php3 to allow native smartphone access? I see there are apps (tapatalk for example), that would allow native access for iphone / android into php3 BB's via the app.

Not looking to add or create more of of a headache for you Danny. I know there would be inherent risks in such an upgrade (and maybe not worth it), but just curious as the natural evolution of BB server software.

Thanks.

I am slightly lost on your question. Are you having trouble accessing the site on your smart phone? We are running PHPbb3 and I have no problem getting it on my I-Phone.

Are you just using a browser (like Safari) on the iPhone to access the RB site? If so, yes I can go into my browser on my android phone and go to the RB site. That has always worked fine. I'm talking about firing up a php3 forum app and have access to the RB site. I liken it to the NFL app I have installed. Sure, I could fire up the browser and goto nfl.com and navigate the website on a 4" screen, but the nfl app is SO much easier to navigate on a mobile device.

As mentioned before, one example is Tapatalk and that is a mobile app built specifically for forum access and works with php3 BB's. But, maybe you have already been down this path for any host side hooks...
