    Hi all,

    maybe this is helpful for some using Tapatalk with PHPBB3:

    In our support forum, we need to know when somebody writes a new topic in order to join in immediately. We have already enhanced PHPBB3 to send a message to the admin everytime a user posts something new, but of course Tapatalk cannot reflect this modification.

    So we have added a simple bit of code to the original Tapatalk server-side file, in order to receive a notification, when an iPhone user posts something via Tapatalk.

    Attached you can find a ZIP archive with the PDF description of how to enhance the original file. Please note that your server must support the "mail" command and that only the very basic link to the new topic is transfered. We found this to be sufficient, but probably some PHP gurus can make this work much better than we did :eek:

    kind regards
    Tom

    Thanks Tom! Talks about a MOD on top of a MOD - well done - we will look into it and see if we can integrate it with our distribution? Meanwhile I will make your post sticky. :D

    Hi winter, hi iFonz,

    thanks a lot for your kind words! I am sure you can do much better than I did, but it was a quick shot which works :) Integration would of course be super-duper!

    kind regards
    Tom

    P.S.: We are currently spreading the word for Tapatalk to all our customers and I hope they go for it. The app is really fantastic and more than worth the money.
