TMBF App and mobile notifications

[Stu]

@husoi mentioned about a TMBF App thats available

 

Its not an app as such but uses the browser to create a shortcut that can be used like an app providing a direct link to the forum. 

 

I have copied and pasted the information below from the Invision community website so you can "install" it if you so wish 

 

There is also some info on Mobile notifications too 

 

 

Invision community provides support for push notifications on mobile devices. This will allow you to get notifications on your phone, even when you do not have your browser open, to alert you of new content on followed items and more.

The following will show how to set this up on iOS and Android devices, on their default

iOS / Apple Devices

On apple devices, when visiting the community, you can click on the "Share" icon at the bottom of the page to add this to your home page.

Share icon on iOS

You will see "Add to Home Screen" at the bottom of the list

Adding to the home screen

It will allow the user to change the name of the icon they will add to their home screen should they wish to do so, then will add it to the home screen as a native application, which you can then move around as you can with any other application

Changing the name and adding

Android Devices

On android devices, when visiting the community you will be shown at the bottom of the page (chrome is used in this example) that you can add the application to your home page

Add to home

If you do not see this, you can select the browser menu, where you can then find the option to add the application to your home page

Add to home on menu

Once selected, you will be prompted to add it, which will then show on your desktop. Of course you can move this around as you can with any other application.

Enabling Notifications

Once this is added, if you wish to get push notifications, you will need to switch them on. Click on the item that has just been created to open your community (ensure you do it from the new application icon). Once in there go to the following location

Menu->Bell Icon->Notification Settings

At the bottom of the page, click to enable browser notifications under the "Push" section
