NodeBB WebView App v3

[Jenkler]

Can I browse all nodebb forums with this app (playstore) or is it only for community.nodebb.org? Cool projekt BTW

[CCob]

@Jenkler It's not on play store. It's designed to be taken and modified to suit your own forum URL's. So the demo version only works with the NodeBB community version.

[Jenkler]

Ok, but maybe we can add configuration to the app and in the future use it for private forums like Tapatalk

I made some tests, the plugin is installed in the forum and I configured the key and id of the application. On Android I tested OneSignal by sending manual messages (in their system) and received it normally.
The issue is that if I send the message from a user (test user for admin user), in the Android application logged in with the admin account, I do not get the message notification, I tried also responding to a post, as a normal interaction
Is there anything else necessary for the correct functioning of the notification plugin?

@Braulio-Cesar-Holtz-Ribeiro Did you use the REST api exposed by the plugin to add the playerid from one signal as explained in my original post?

[CCob]

@Braulio-Cesar-Holtz-Ribeiro The android app integration is not complete yet, so the automatic registration of the player_id wont work with the version @AOKP has compiled. Hence the need to manually populate player_id's using the REST endpoint exposed by nodebb-plugin-onesignal

[AOKP]

Thanks @CCob I just merged your PR!

@AOKP What is wehb view app

[CCob]

@kenygamer It's a native android application to allow viewing of a NodeBB compatible forum.

[AOKP]

Fixed issues with CCob's OneSignal integration.

[meetdilip]

Can we get notifications from NodeBB on this app ? A mention, for example.

[CCob]

@meetdilip Yes, although you need to configure nodebb-plugin-onesignal on your NodeBB install too.

[meetdilip]

Just like using FCM ?

Update:
I will soon dump v3 in favor of v4.

V4 will feature major improvements in terms of performance, stability and usability. Furthermore, it will be featuring an updated version of the current OneSignal plugin.

[CCob]

@aokp Looking forward to it

[AOKP]

@ccob I have to move this back actually as I am about to stop using NodeBB.

@aokp said in NodeBB WebView App v3:

I am about to stop using NodeBB.

why?

[AOKP]

I am simply not happy with the browser compatability and plugin eco system.
Furthermore, I finally found a forum software with a 100% native app for iOS and Android.

Call it personal preference, but I feel somehow better with it.

[CCob]

@aokp Are you planning on publishing where you got to with v4?

Which news forum software did you decide on?

[AOKP]

@ccob I really don't think that a discussion like this is liked to be seen here.

However, once I have completed switching to the new forum software I will share my experiences to improve NodeBB.
