Push notification.
The most hardly missed feature of phpbb.
Push notification.
yeah good one Swanny, you said it and I second itMy advice is if you haven't got your members used to using TT, *never* install it.
Like this one?
There is already guidelines in place to develop extensions.Instead, you should contact Tapatalk and check out what problems you have and work on a solution together. Let you define the API the content can be reached with, let you define the necessary security measures and let you come up with a solution that satisfies all parties.
Most definitely not, what makes you think so? With Tapatalk, I don't see any board to look as it does. And I don't need to care about foibles. That's the whole point. Consider my mail client analogy, it's really very strong here. All my forums and all my messages come in in a single, unified UI, much like in an e-mail client, without any details of the original forums they originated on. That's exactly why I like it. Think about Thunderbird, for instance, with every forum being a folder. All messages appear in the folder (maybe subfolders for the topics), exactly the way TB displays them, not how the original forum shows and handles them. I only see titles and single images. I only see the full post if I click on it. I can scroll through them just as easily as in a mail client. And if I want to reply, TB's own text editor comes up, the same for all folders (forums).HiFiKabin wrote: ↑Mon Aug 27, 2018 11:11 am Yes, Tapatalk may be a good idea BUT unless every forum you use is on the Tapatalk platform most of the "advantages" you mention go away. Say (just for arguments sake) that Tapatalk finally make a secure bug free extension for every forum software available. What does that give you? The ability for one log in for all fora. The boards will still look as they did, they will function as they did. You will still have the 'problems' of finding you way around the differing software with all of its individual foibles.
I'm not discounting the idea or it's usefulness. What I am saying is there are procedures/guidelines in place for developers to build applications like that over the top of phpBB. Part of the reason for those guidelines is to help prevent things like the issue outlined in the link I posted.
It might come to this conclusion, but before we decide on it, let me try again because, frankly, I have the feeeling that you never saw it in the flesh, really.HiFiKabin wrote: ↑Mon Aug 27, 2018 12:32 pm If I am understanding you correctly, all you want from a board is a RSS feed that you can reply to directly without visiting that particular board? An email list if you will. To take part in a board requires effort on all users part, which will include joining that board and reading its content.
We will have to agree to disagree on this.
Yes I have, and I hate it.c1647562 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 27, 2018 3:07 pmIt might come to this conclusion, but before we decide on it, let me try again because, frankly, I have the feeeling that you never saw it in the flesh, really. <snip>HiFiKabin wrote: ↑Mon Aug 27, 2018 12:32 pm If I am understanding you correctly, all you want from a board is a RSS feed that you can reply to directly without visiting that particular board?
