Iphone App

[azzafreddy]

if Skylines Australia had an iPhone App, that would be cool, and a possibly profit could be made for every download. i mean who doesnt have an iphone these days.

[sh@un]

it'd be great, but the programmers of the forum board would have to do it make the template available

I don't understand (then again I don't have an iphone lol).

Can't you browse web pages from an iphone? I though pretty much any high end phone can do that?

[R31Nismoid]

My phone can browse SAU... and i don't need to pay for any App...

you can use it fine and i do all the time; loads the page just like normal, but you have to zoom in and out on the screen to click on links and read things comfortably. you can select the 'PDA skin' from the board settings, but it's still not optimal

a proper iPhone web-app would have a set-up that scaled and spaced everything to suit a small screen, like the one for Facebook, f'rinstance.

i guess but im pretty sure safari costs to run unless you are running through a wireless adaptor, apps are free to use with 3G, just an idea

We're planning to have a mobile version of the site with version 3.

[azzafreddy]

that will be great. cant wait.

[ebola]

.mobi site would be cool.

a mobile app (iPhone or other) would be... lots of hassle... tender for contracts ?

[Flynnn]

Now posting through my motorolla milestone phone via wifi doesn't take too long to load pages at about 5-6 seconds max (main page) 2-3 secs for each topic but would be nicer to have a mobile version of the site enabling to load pages instantly without the need of double tapping on screen to zoom.

Although I sympathise with iphone users with their smaller screens and some what slower web browsing capabilities

Edit: just discovered that I need to login every time I want to post. Don't know if its just. My fone or the site?

This is an app you can use but the forum needs to get it happening on their end first.

might be an option?

IPB support was supposed to be out last month.

That looks really good. Still no IPB support by the looks, but I'll check it out in more detail.

Would be much easier than writing a new page for mobiles........It seems

[funkymonkey]

I'm working on a theme (like dark and light that we use) that is iPhone friendly, then its just a matter of detecting useragent and overriding the theme.

although, I'm only like 10% done with it, given the complexity of the forum.

apps data usage does not get charged? where did you get that info from?

[funkymonkey]

lol ANY data that's used by your phone is accountable, whether used by third party apps, through tethering, or via bundled apps.

We've just integrated Tapatalk into one of our forums here :

http://www.sensational-adelaide.com/index....s&Itemid=13

Dead easy to setup, took around 10 minutes, didn't have to change too much to the website layout it was just one line at the bottom of the footer.

[JAS-25T]

IPB isnt supportted yet though. phpBB is.

[funkymonkey]

not a fan of Tapatalk anyways... IPB would run much better if it was just optimised for iphone, there's a few of us developing iphone skins for it atm.
