Tapatalk Support

[Geoff]

This was touched on elsewhere but I figure we should have a proper thread for it. So any chance of Tapatalk support?

Tapatalk - iPhone Android Nokia forum app for vBulletin and phpBB

Its a phone app (iphone/android/blackberry/Symbian) that allows for easy forum usage on said phones. It requires the forum admin to install a (free) plugin and yes I checked it does support vBulletin.

Yeh I have been monitoring them for a while but I really dont like their model for charges etc.

[Geoff]

How so?

[ZeroHour]

The fact that you have to really pay for the client for one. Also its a potentially HUGE security risk as it basically raw pulls data and in the earlier version did not fully appriciate vb permissions/variable cleaning I believe.

Ah I see. Does EduGeek have any moblie support btw? *runs off to try*

The mobile skin is reasonable, though limited.

[Geoff]

Yes I see. Just trying it now on my iPhone. Certainly misses a lot out. I suppose that's a good & bad thing.

Any update on this?

Q: How does the Tapatalk Plug-in work with my forum system security?
A: The Plugin is designed to inherit all security policies from your forum system. For example, if a specific sub-forum is a restricted access, the Tapatalk iPhone client would not be able to access it unless the logging member has the authority to access it.

bumpity! :P

I know that ZH is working on mobile stuff but he has been epically busy with other stuff too. I'm just as keen as you guys so we haven't forgotten about it.

This might be of interest.
