For my 7" Fire Tablet ($35) I wiped it and put on Cyanogenmod and side loaded the Play store. Works great. | |||||

Without that option, you need to clear all the app's data and resetup. :( Sorry, just haven't had the time or inclination to make a better version. | |||||

It uses PHP and cURL to request the page elements then render's the page with modifications to make it mobile friendly. I would love to turn this into an APP so I can share this. I can't currently b/c every request to RPOL would come from my server and RPOl would block us. Thread here with code and screenshots: link to a message in another game If we could make this into an app, then people could have it on their phone and the requests would be from their IP addresses. I would also love to make the app work with the notifier (or part of) where the notices would open in the app and take you to the mobile friendly interface. Thoughts? | |||||

My thoughts are that I hope you get someone to make this work, bc right now this is one of my alltime fav websites and it's not cashing in on it's own value. Mobile is the spot, just gotta make this site more mobile friendly... Really, even just a 'mobile front end' making the UI kinder to iOS / Android would bring in a ton of new users. | |||||

I started with just a custom style sheet but the entire site is laid out in tables so I actually had to parse the site code and strip out the tables using be php simple Dom utility. I haven't read anything yet, could you tell me more how the streams work that rpol supplies or point me to documentation? Maybe I could just make a simple app that puts the mobile face on the site. I've got the posting part submitting. I might also be able to do the registration process. How many more people would discover rpol if it was an app and super mobile friendly?! Tons I think. | |||||

I hated the mobile un-usability so much I wrote my own program to fix it :D :D :D | |||||

For the longest time, I bypassed my company's firewall/proxy filter using a similar method. I hosted a perl script that acted as a proxy on a private https site. The script is here: https://www.jmarshall.com/tools/cgiproxy/ I don't think I had the feed-processing script in with the Git repo for the app... Soooo here you go: http://www.evilknights.com/rpol/checkFeed.txt Fair warning... This whole notifier was an endeavor I threw together in a week, so be gentle when criticizing my poorly written code. This php script runs via cron on a set interval. Basically, it pulls a list of registered users. Then checks their feed for changes one at a time. The site's feeds aren't done right, but they get the job done. The whole reason I use the feeds over ripping the main page is that they don't require authentication. I also have a daily database cleaner that removes stale app installs. No point checking feeds of people that can't get the notification. http://www.evilknights.com/rpol/purgeRPOL.txt | |||||

http://www.evilknights.com/rpol/autoPost.txt Every 8 days we post a bump to the advertisement thread. I didn't use cron for this because I wanted the day it posts to walk through the week and reach players that may only play on certain days. | |||||

Interesting on the feed method. I was thinking of just putting everything into the app to do all the work and not have them go through a server of mine. That would also prevent me from having to see their credentials. | |||||

The app is in the google play store. | |||||

It's only a notification app. When a new message appears in one of the games/forums you're a part of, you'll get a notification on your phone/tablet. I think you can click on one of the notifications to get to that game. EDIT: Yep, that's it exactly. You can close the menu, and whenever a notification shows up, you can select it and it will take you to the game using your phone's web browser.

I'll be honest, I lack the skill/time to make it a full mobile client. That's why I posted the code and started the forum. | |||||
carnyzzle player, 3 posts Sun 26 Mar 2017 at 18:35 |
isn't it possible to have a possible client run off of a base like Chromium for browsing the site? | |||||
byzantinex player, 6 posts Sun 26 Mar 2017 at 21:09 |
Can you explain that further? | |||||
byzantinex player, 7 posts Sun 26 Mar 2017 at 21:11 |
Yeah, I'm a web dev, not an Android one. :D I can learn, but I don't have the free time either. I have an contractor who I hire to do some work and he could tackle this project easily. That's why I was talking about doing a kickstarter campaign. I'll wait to hear from Jase, but if he gives me his blessing then I'll setup a campaign and share it with everyone via the forum and see if we can raise enough funds to get the app done :D | |||||

I'm not a coder so I can't explain it all that well, but it's like instead of a notifier, it runs off a client based on the Google Chrome engine This message was last edited by the player at 21:19, Sun 26 Mar 2017. | |||||

You're talking about push notifications from the Browser, right? Yes, that would be possible, but only if we wrote a script that basically duplicated the site. What we're talking about doing instead is creating a mobile app that would pull the entire site into it, have native Android notifications via the app, and make the site mobile friendly. | |||||

Yes, but he has a million things to do, outside of RPoL. :P He will reply, eventually. |
