Is there a forum style plugin for jQuery Mobile?

in jQuery Mobile • 6 months ago

I am looking for something like the accordion collapsible set but more social communication oriented.

me 5:07PM: hey whats up?

you 6:00PM: nm

me 6:01PM: really, thats cool. you want to hang out later?

you 8:00PM: no

Maybe a listview could be adapted but I was just wondering if there is something really good for this.

I am also looking for a way to integrate a lightweight plugin for a forum within a web app. I am using jQuery Mobile/ HTML5/ CSS3/ jQuery. I am trying to integrate something along the lines of phpbb without requiring a redirect for the user to login to phpbb website. Also I am trying to find a way to impliment a way so it is designed without loosing the native feeling of a web app. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

You need to define what you mean by "more social communication oriented". What is it about the accordion collapsible that isn't "socially communication oriented"? I don't know what features you consider "socially communication oriented"...

In any case, the conversation you show is in a text-messaging or IM type style, not forum-style.

Are the messages typically long, so that there would be some utility is using a collapsible? What is lacking that you want?

I think that users expect great performance in this type of interface, so I would recommend not using JQM widgets at all for this. Just create your own CSS.

Not sure what you are asking for. An alternative to phpbb? Some forum software that already has a JQM front-end developed? What is your specific issue with redirect?

I am looking for a forum software that has JQM front-end developed for mobile devices. The specific issue with the redirect is I want the user to be able to directly log in from the forum tab in my navigation bar. l am trying to stay away from a seperate browser window being opened for the user to login to the forum. I was hoping to use the login utilities from phpBB to check user db. If you have any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Those are fair points. Was looking for something fairly abstract that could be tailored but basically just worked with existing jqm controls to get the desired effect.
