New iPhone app section

Does anyone know how I can add new content to the iphone app from my website? For example, i want to add a section to the app that shows the users activity wall.

 

Thanks,

Paul

I'm not entirely sure paul, but I din't think you can. The I-phone app is very limited. Have you thought of building a cut down, fast loading version of you site with the mobile features you want and just using that as a mobile wap site?

I do know that there is an I-phone API and Exporter comming for Multimedia Fusion II  developer. I am going to use it to make my own i-phone app for my site from scratch. If you have not heard of MMF look it up. It is a great program trhat will allow you to do some great stuff for your site without writing a single line of code. It exports everything you make as either stand alone, java, flash, many others, and soon - I-phone. You may even find someone on a forum there that may be able to build the i-phone app for you, or atleast help with it.

If you want to see an example of what it can do please see the block at the top of this page on my site:

Please bare in mind that this app was wriiten without a single line of code in a fraction of the time it would have taken someone to code it for me.

 

Hope it helps,

Nathan, thanks and I'll look into MMF. Is it any different than wrapping your app in phonegap? i no its easier but you loose some native functionality.

Thanks,

Paul

MMF is very simple to use. Basically this is how it works: You have a storyboard with farmes. (your app can have as many frames as you like) Into the frames (which can have layers) you drop objects - objects do different things. some are grapical and animation, some ate databas, some are web, some are sound, some are video... the list is endless. Because MMF has been going so long there are now over 400 objects that you can use to do just about anything you can imagine. You drop an object in the frame, set its properties (size, visibillity, file links, groups whatever it has). You the have a event deitor. This is a grid with your objects on it. yoe select your objects and assign an action to it such as a movement or condition such as "Active object collision with another object- active object bounce" it could be change direction, change animation, anything. This is all done with drag and drop - no coding.you can include code if you wish by using an object like a PHP object or a VB object. Anyway, you can use buttons, controlls, dropdown boxes, anythinf from the 400 to make your application do what you want. You the export the file as either stand alone program, web program, java, flash, I-phone etc. Its very simple. For the I-phone application you will need to find objects that can retrieve dat from your site like the contents of the wall, and objects that can display the content, but i do think, with a little help you coud probably do this. I already know some people that have written entire websites in this that put dolphin to shame lol. Hope it helps, Nathan
