A way for Iphone users to use gallery, attachments
« on: July 16, 2010, 11:20:22 AM »
My forum users are decamping to Facebook because they can't upload photos from their iPhones!

I've just read about the Tapatalk mod, but this would require every user to spend $2.99 on the tapatalk app to use it.

And I haven't read anything about tapatalk compatability with AEVA media ...

What can be done to allow smartphone users to upload photos and other attachments?

Apple needs to allow file uploads from the iPhone's album(s). That's the simplest way for this problem to be fixed.

So "An app for that" is not going to work around the problem...
Too bad.

A dedicated app for that would work, since Facebook app allows upload.
I've been posting quite useless posts quite happily.

That's really just a waste of time to make. I'm still shocked that Apple hasn't linked <input type="file" /> to the camera roll in MobileSafari.

It would have to be very flexible, if it is going to support all the various potential children of the Jaelta core.

Well I'm planning to build XML-RPC and RESTful interfaces to the application so that anyone will easily be able to develop native applications for different mobile platforms :)
Which would also have to be very flexible.  But a framework for developing applications to interface with Jaelta's children might be useful. Tapatalk, in addition to the iPhone app, requires an SMF mod (which provides the "mobile API", I guess).

I'm still shocked that Apple hasn't linked <input type="file" /> to the camera roll in MobileSafari.
Seriously. There must be some reason they elected not to make that a priority.

Yeah, after all it took them 3 versions to get Cut, Copy and Paste working.

Note that I have nothing against iTouch/iPhone, me loves my iTouch 3G.

Exactly, you need to make a dedicated app for uploading photos.

I don't know how it works. I don't have an iPhone, again. I don't have a web-enabled mobile phone at all, actually.
And I probably have the only SMF forum that actually works fine at full size in an iPhone. Haven't been able to test, though.
