Hi @sambhal thanks for the suggestion. I will try those suggestions. I ended up having to code a fairly hacky workaround for youtube videos but it does at least get rid of the blank.
What version of Ionic/Angular are you using? I’ve been working in 1.6 and support for that amongst developers is dropping off. Been looking at Angular > 1 but it is so different, I’m considering something else like React or Vue.
New update (see images below). I’ve now finished off building a custom API and front end in the app for user registration, user editing of profile (avatar, display name, email, password). Since the bbPress forum I’m integrating this with at UteHub.com uses a combination of bbPress and BuddyPress, I’ve tied into the BuddyPress user registration workflow. That helps weed out a few spammers and verifies email etc. This is a pretty big update.
I’ve also implemented api and front end for the user and an admin to edit topics and replies.
Also something I haven’t mentioned here yet, is I built a wordpress plugin for “sports schedules and results” and also implemented an API for that and front end in the app. So you can see the team’s schedules and scores both on the www version and the app!
Thanks for the frequent updates to this. It’s really cool to see the iterations!
Thanks mate. Sometimes I wonder if I’m just logging the process for myself. Nice to know someone else is interested.
Last night I finished off some user profile stuff: edit display name and edit email. Still to do: change/reset password.
I’ve run into a bugger of a bug though. On the current app youtube videos do not appear. They’re just blank. It’s a security thing on the front end AngularJS side. It wont allow iframes. The auto Oembed feature of wordpress takes youtube urls and wraps them in the embed code, which is an iframe. I can disable the security issue on the front end but that breaks a feature I need for the mobile devices which keeps the user from getting stuck in the in-app browser. It’s an odd thing. So I may have to make my own API for replies which somehow gets rid of the oembed stuff and on the front end makes a link to the video for the app. Long story…
Nice work on a good mobile version and very impressive, I have been trying a similar path but have no coding knowledge so rely on cut and pasting.
Thanks. I’ve spent 100’s & 100’s of hours on it already. I’ve got a working user registration, edit posts, and now working on avatar. None of that stuff is supported via any API so I’ve had to build that too. Issues I’m running into are that on the site I’m using to develop uses BuddyPress too. Some of the features I’m using are BuddyPress and not bbPress.
I’ve not got a working API for user registration and a front end in the app. This integrates with buddyPress which has much better user registration features than vanilla wordpress. So users will register, then must activate their account via the email they receive on registration. Helps weed out spammers.
I’m not planning on push notification or sms reg at this time. I have a lot of other things in line first like user registration, lost password, reset password, editing posts, admin functions. No API currently exists for any of this.
I like the idea that the phone number is the login, except that the user’s login ID may already be set from the www version of the site. Perhaps it could be either the user_name or phone number.
I have a user blocking system setup in the app, and being able to moderate/block the device by phone number could be cool. By device id is probably even better.
TESTED ON A REAL DEVICE AND WORKING! Since the last app update I’ve implemented a login which keeps you logged in basically forever unless you logout. Once logged in a user can post new topics, reply to topics or other replies, and vote with the thumbs up/down.
Ute Hub mobile app update: New pending features include creating topics, replying, thumbs up/down & more! Coming in a day or two! pic.twitter.com/N1QhNQ4YR7
You can contact me via http://www.utehub.com/contact or via twitter @thegolfspace – not sure what “couldn’t contact you…” means. Is there an error or something?
Thanks @casiepa! I’m just barely ahead of you now. I think if we can nail down the recent posts and some of the paging stuff I’ll release a full working version with login and posting in the next week or two.
