Hint, hint Jelly...

Its a $3.00 app for android and iOS that makes browsing forums faster for mobile devices.

You can install it like this-

Code: 
phpBB - Installation

Place the zip package at the root of your forum system.
Unzip the package. You should see a directory called "mobiquo" inside your forum system root directory. For example, if your forum URL is http://www.mysite.com/forum, it should be placed at http://www.mysite.com/forum/mobiquo/.
Edit the file /<phpBB3_root>/styles/{YOUR_STYLE}/template/overall_footer.html
Search in this file:

--------------------

</body>
</html>

--------------------

Insert the following line above them

------------------------------------------------------------------

<script type="text/javascript" src="mobiquo/tapatalkdetect.js"></script>

------------------------------------------------------------------

Purge the forum cache by logging in to the administration panel, find "Resynchronize or reset statistics" in the "General" section, click "Purge the cache".

When I saw benheck got this I immediately thought we should get one, too!

So who all would use this if we had it?
 
There was already a thread for this, and nothing came of it.
 
$3 oh horror of horrors. :gonk:

The server-side plugin and read-only client are free.

The difference is that this tread cuts straight to the point of "Here is how you do it, it's almost a whole line of code" rather than just saying you should figure it out. Makes is significantly easier for jlee.
 
Because $3 is bloody expensive. I could buy a whole Big Mac for that! :dah:

It doesn't cost anything to set it up server-side, you do not have to buy anything to make the server run. Why not do it? It only takes about 5 minutes to set the thing up.

Not everybody is a high school sophomore with no money. :p
 
For one, big does not equal good. Reno is a flax place to live for many reasons, not the least of which being that nobody is hiring. My dad's been out of work since April and he's still looking for a job because there's just nothing out there.

For another thing, I'd have to seriously rearrange my time, and that's too big of a pain while I'm still being schooled at home -- not just for me, either.

Probably later in the year once school is out I can start looking for something. I have a car and a driver's license now, at least.
 
If you don't want to buy a $3 app, that's fine. However, that's no reason to deny it for everyone. At least a few other members already have the app, the server-side plugin is free, it doesn't block portable devices from connecting to the forums with web browsers, and it takes maybe 5 minutes to set up.

There is no cost to this beyond the time it takes to edit overall_footer.html.
 
Well, I just wouldn't use it because it costs money. :p

I did misread stuff, though -- if it's free to set up, I don't see why it shouldn't be implemented.
