I know this works on Android, but for whatever reason it doesn't work on the iPhone for this forum. I don't know if it's a setting, or an additional plugin, but the push notifications work on DT, so I figured I'd ask.

I, like everybody sure would like that feature. DT uses vBulletin and GH uses Simple Machines forum software. I know it depends on what version forum software and a few other parameters for some features to work. Would be uber-cool for my iPhone to let me know when you guys are up to no good with a little "ding-DONG-ding!"

You guys just need to stop drinking the Apple Kool-Aid, and get on board with a real OS.

Yeah, I would like this as well. I get the attached when trying to enable push notifications for GH.

Edit: this is from the forum overview > settings > notifications & sync

Yes, Android has had support for Push for some time now. Just don't know what's required for iOS support to be added.

This thread is more relevant. Bump. Will the mod update the plugin?

Belfong · « **Reply #13 on:** Tue, 01 April 2014, 17:54:49 »

Hi mod, I ask the Tapatalk dev on the lack of push notification and they took a look at GH and told me that the plugin is out of date. What's the possibilities of updating the plugin please?

I think rkinze handles that, he hasn't been around much or at least not posting, everyone is too busy

Tapatalk should be sorted out now.

rowdy · « **Reply #22 on:** Thu, 29 May 2014, 00:56:58 »

Whether it's because I've just run Tapatalk on iOS for the first time in months or not, or maybe it's the changes referred to above, but suddenly I'm getting notifications of new posts in threads I have subscribed to.

This is nice.

But ... will I still receive email notification too?

I'm at work atm, and it's nice to catch up with the emails and hence unread threads when I get home.

Belfong · « **Reply #23 on:** Thu, 29 May 2014, 05:07:03 »

The reason why we get notifications in Tapatalk iOS is because rknize has just updated the Tapatalk plug-in in the GH forum servers to the latest, which fix notifications error to Tapatalk. So, it is independent from the email notification, which is the forum software. So, yeah, you will get emails too.

That's good!

I use email for nearly everything!

Belfong · « **Reply #25 on:** Mon, 02 June 2014, 06:28:33 »

So, one interesting thing I found is that Tapatalk does not do notifications on subscribed forums. Meaning if someone creates a new thread or reply to one in a forum, there is no notification.

Similar forum software eg in Deskthority does support it.

So I'm wondering if it's a settings in GH plugin.

Eg GH:

Same page for Deskthority.. Notice it has both subscribe topic AND forum.

Edit: fixed

rknize · « **Reply #26 on:** Mon, 02 June 2014, 07:24:28 »

They look the same.

Belfong · « **Reply #27 on:** Mon, 02 June 2014, 07:28:27 »

Sorry, chose wrong photo. Uploading the Deskthority now.

Input Nirvana · « **Reply #28 on:** Sat, 14 June 2014, 01:20:02 »

Stuff is working with Tapatalk Pro…nice. It will allow me to be updated and harass you guys when a topic is hot. I don't notice a lot of difference between Tapatalk Pro and Tapatalk Free.

Thanks for the update, long overdue.

SpAmRaY · « **Reply #29 on:** Mon, 16 June 2014, 12:59:39 »

One thing I just noticed is when I get quoted Tapatalk lets me know.

rowdy · « **Reply #30 on:** Mon, 16 June 2014, 15:14:41 »

I'm wondering how often the Tapatalk notifications are generated.

If I click the NOTIFY button, I get an email if someone posts in that thread. I get no further emails for that thread until I visit the thread. Then I get one more email the next time someone posts there.

Tapatalk seems to send me a notification each time someone posts in such a thread, whether I visit it or not. I don't use Tapatalk much, and I'm up to 333 notifications.

Does Tapatalk just keep sending, regardless of whether you visit the thread or not?

That's a possibility, but I kinda assumed they would be like the email notifications - you get one, then nothing until after you visit that thread again.

Yes, that is an option in the notification setting. What I don't get is what does "mention me" means?
e.g. @Spamray @SpAmRaY does nothing I guess.

You get it every time the thread is answered by someone, in real time. It gets irritating. So I remove myself from being informed of thread updates, only when someone quoted me.

But I'd REALLY like to be notified when the forum I subscribed is updated e.g. Bro Caps forum. That seemed to be missing in GH per my earlier post.

So, I am wondering if there are plans to have push notification for "Subscribed forum", meaning if it is turned on, we get notified when there are updates to a forum. Very useful for those artisan forums

Not sure if the TT plug in supports this feature for SMF.

TIL Desthority is NOT using SMF! Damn, I always thought they are because of the same-named Spy feature.

I just notice a bug with Tapatalk and asked the dev. The bug is with the Participated tab, or Watched. It does not sort by thread that was recently replied anymore. The dev responded that the plug in was outdated.

I didn't notice it, but that would explain why I was confused with some topics appearing before others.

Also, my notifications don't work anymore. I may get one or two a day that sync properly, but the rest never appear.

raymogi · « **Reply #44 on:** Sat, 28 November 2015, 20:24:23 »

Yeah the notification has been wonky lately, especially PMs. I got some notified through the actual notification tab (and therefore got the push notification), but some just stayed in the message tab inside the followed forums thingy and never got notification for those.

Belfong · « **Reply #45 on:** Sat, 28 November 2015, 23:48:05 »

Hopefully mashby or some other mod can update their server side plugin.

I had 3000 notifications a day or two ago, it is now 3003 and there have been more than 3 posts in threads I have notifications for, so I guess I'm not receiving them either.
