[WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

We had a very good app for our forum, created by ph5, who had done an amazing job in carrying out such a huge task, that too, for free. Unfortunately, some minor bugs and usability issues hampered daily use of this app, and the app deserved some maintenance.

Carrying over from http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...hlight=tmo+app ,
I have taken up the development of this app, and it will be updated and improved from now on.

I have been working on this since few days. Enjoy the new year gift :)

@bibek, It for N9? For N900 will be?

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

bibek usually develops for N9.. So I guess it's for N9, but maybe soon for the N900 :)
Edit: after viewing the link provided, yes it's for N9..

Right now, after I fix and improve the app to a stable state, I will look into porting it to N900.. After all, the forum itself is named after Maemo :)

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

When you want to port it to N900, let me know (via pm/mail). I might be helpful :D

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

works fine
thanks for your work :)

Awesome work!
Looks pretty much the same, but instead an old diesel engine it got V8 now. :)
Testing editing...

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

is it possible to separate the installs of the MeeGo & maemo apps.

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

i tried to install this but there is an error "Installation interrupted".Old version is already installed.

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

Hi

This is Awesome ! Thanks

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

I had the same issue. I removed the old version, and installed it through terminal. Fixed it for me.

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

You have to remove both old MeeGO forum and maemo Talk manually before you can install version 0.1.0:)

The two apps run on the same code, and same files. Just an argument --tmo or --fmc decides which forum will open. Even if I don't package the fmc and tmo icons together, you can still change the forums by clicking on header on mainpage.
I think it's better to keep the second icon

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

Great work bibek! Thanks for this :)

One request, could a dark theme be considered?

Writing this from a dark themed test build. Have to softcode a lot of ui colors and images. Seems possible.

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

I'm trying to install this, but I keep getting problems, whats up with the Nokia repos at the moment?

From UI if I try and install I keep getting
From terminal if I try apg-get update I get
I take it everyone else is installing fine?

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

i installed this app also and missing send message button. only.preview and cancel :D

Click the down arrow, expand topic area, select Action POST, then post. I don't know why Preview was set as default by former author. Will change it

Actually the order version was such that after preview you clicked post or there was an option below your reply to allow you to just post without having a preview; though that was version v0.5


Edit: The above was posted from the app and just realized that there is no edit function? Also could the system be fine-tuned so that a quote and reply only quotes the post directly being quoted not the parent posts like on the web interface?

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

Hey, Thankx a ton first.

I got a problem here. TMO asking password only. It already fills my username. I got 2 accounts. I want to use another username. Unfortunately there is no logout option. Where does it store login credentials?

REQUEST: Plz allow SPACING and Symbols in username field. Many have symbols and space in their username including me.

Accounts are stored and managed from Accounts app integrated with system.
I will look into the reason of space becoming invalid.
Could you tell me what happens if you give the space?

Yes, I will try removing nested quotes.
And edit option will need some time, hope not impossible. There's lot of mechanism in the app I need to grasp

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

It will not show space if I insert space. Later when I open app it will show session error, invalid username/password . Symbols working btw.

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

Despite being logged in or not the app won't open webpage in default browser.
Take care.

Ajmal, from where you are trying to open the webpage? It's broken from inside post via option menu. Other places work imo

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

Inside post from menu. Thankx for notifying. I can do same from outside threads. :)

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

Updateeee !! Yaayy!! :) :)

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

Finally!! Thank you for your improvements

Great work

Things that has to be taken care of
> https images are not handled. :p silly me
> clean up the html mess in post body I introduced by enabling attachments directly
> let me know if I missed to theme some elements in dark theme

i have totally black window when using colored black hatmattan theme :)

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

I think its based on your theme; blanco works well with it... On that note bibek can you make the theme independent of the system theme in the future? Some apps like tweetian don't use the system's theme I think hence no conflicts between light/dark themes within the app...

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

That means I'd have to hardcode all colors and include all images into the package. Not impossible, but I thought using system theme was a better option...
And coderus having problem as full black screen, could you tell me, it's the text gone dark, or the background images are missing?

Custom themes, Y U NO OBEY DEFAULT GUIDELINES :@

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

Haha bibek,

You can take your time on that; other issues are more pressing and its a custom theme's fault anyway so its not urgent ;)

@bibek text is white, but no posts background.
and what are you mean about guidelines? what wrong with custom themes?

and how to add attachment?

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

@bibek, please make for N900! In advance many thanks!

Attachment isn't supported yet, you'll just have to workaround with links.

And theme guidelines say that all themes must inherit the base blanco theme so that all apps work perfectly. I use post background img from theme's meegotouch-list-background.png image.
If it's missing, then it means the theme doesn't have that image included.

if possible, if you can terminal output of app when started from terminal, I can pin point the cause

In todo list :)

Re: [WIP] TMO Forum app - New updated release
 

@bibek all images are here and it inherit blanco teme, of course
