Mobile app/RSS feed etc
« on: March 12, 2013 »
Hi, been away for ages.

What's the site like for mobile phone/tablet access? Can we use tapatalk or something? Or just the forum's mobile version (something like: www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/index.php?wap2 or http://www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/index.php?imode)

Also I used to use the twitter feed in google reader to notify me of new messages, but that's not worked for ages. Any one got a good way to get notified of a new post site wide?

TIA

Tapatalk is a little bit of a sore subject. It was requested but it was declined.

I vaguely recall someone mentioning possible corruption from the plugin being a possible roadblock.

If it's any help to you, here's the backup script I cronjob and run manually before any major plugin changes / potential snafus

datevar=$(date +"%m-%d-%y")
mkdir backup/$datevar
tar cvzf backup/$datevar/sitebackup-$datevar.tar.gz sitefoldername
mysqldump --host=mysql.server.hostname --user username --password=password databasename > backup/$datevar/dbbackup-$datevar.sql

Combined with a daily rsync to a dropboxed folder, the above gives daily offsite backups on 4 physical locations with no attended effort.

I wouldn't hold your breath for a mobile version Chuck. The site isn't too hot at all for mobile or even tablet access.

I've been trying to bear with it but I gave up ages ago and I'm sure there are others in the same position.

Cheers for the info.

http://www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/index.php?wap2 will do for now...

edit: hmm..anyone with CSS skills could make it a bit more purdy by editing this file : http://www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/Themes/default/css/wireless.css   and asking Mr Admin nicly to upload it.
