Tapatalk anyone?

I know some of you fellow ninjaboarders out there must have a mobile site... have any of you heard of tapatalk for ios and android?

I was going to attempt a plugin to bind ninjaboard to the tapatalk api so that ninjaboard forums can be submitted and accessed through tapatalk and for a small cost apparently you can make your own branded forum app using their app framework.

But im more interested myself in just submitting my forum to their database once the plugin and my forums are completely set up.

Now I am by no means a php wiz nor will I charade that I know php... but does anyone think this is feasible nonetheless... ? Better yet Ninja admins... am I even allowed?

Hi Jase,

I'll answer your last question first :)
3rd party developers are always welcome to develop whatever they want based on or integrated with Ninjaboard. We encourage any such attempts.

As for tapatalk, Daniel (our head honcho) mentioned in our team chat that he was interested in integrating Ninjaboard with something exactly like tapatalk, though I can't remember if it was tapatalk or another service like it. He contacted them but I'm not sure what came of it (it was a few months ago).

I'll ask him to respond to this thread himself.

Cheers,
Mark

Sounds fantastic! This is a feature I would definitely like to see in some form or another.
Like I said I am no php developer... and my skills are no better than using the echo functionreally... but i am trying to study it and hope good comes out of it...

I would definitely love to help test such a feature if nothing else.

Hi Jase,

Like Mark said, not only do we accept dev's doing their own Ninjaboard things, but we encourage and support it.

I was trying to get forumrunner support in, but they won't answer me, so lets check out tapatalk then.

I will look over the api tomorrow and send them an email.

Never even heard of Forum Runner myself, However most popular forums that I tend to use notify me if there is a tapatalk version available.. which i assume is based on detecting the mobile browsers identifier string.

Hi jeff807,

Thanks for your interests.

Due to changes in our development team, current development on Ninjaboard has the priority to make it Joomla 2.5 compatible first.

Such features as Tapatalk surely have our interests but is not implemented yet.
I will review the tickets at GitHub if there's an issue about Tapatalk present.
If not then I will create one and add it as a future feature.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for reminding us ;)

Kind regards,
John

I have to agree that putting Tapatalk connectivity in would be a HUGE +!

Looking forward to a J2.5 stable first though ;)

Hi BenAllan,

Thanks for your positive words.

It's all work in progress.
We do the best we can to make it happen.

Currently there are a few minor bugs which have to be fixed.
I expect that this doesn't take long and the release should follow soon.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
John

Didn't seem worth opening a new thread a the above covers my query, but did anything come of this?

Have recently installed the latest 2.5 version of Ninjaboard & integrating tapatalk would be a great addition as i look to build a community that can communicate 'on the go' so to speak.

Noticed it's used by many forums so would be superb if this could join the list.

If not, are there any recommendations on other mobile apps to navigate with?

Thanks.

Hi Jake182,

No, nothing came of it. There is no Tapatalk integration, and none on the horizon unless someone else in the community develops it.

Sorry, can't help with the other question either.

Kind regards,
Mark
