Hi Juan
I have seen in github that you have updated some code that includes the forum function.
i have installed the update but get a error message
'Cannot find data record in database tables external functions'
i would like to test the function but unfortunately im stuck on 2.5 until my organisation updates its browsers in October
regards
Gary
Hi Gary,
yes, I'm working in the forum support for the app. But you will need the latest version of the local_mobile plugin to work (and those versions are not published yet)
The master branch of github is a development branch, so some functionalities you may see there, are not going to work
Regards
Thanks Juan
I look forward to the release

I have been working in the last weeks on this Forum functionality, even for the user be able to store locally the forum information and be able to read offline. My issue is the following:
The Web service to get the forum discussions need the token, in the other hand the moodle_mobile_app does not have the forum webservices included. So, we have to generate a second service with forum functionality, but with another token... I have no idea how overcome to this situation.
Is there a way to include the forum web services to the moodle_mobile_app?
Best regards
Gabriel

FWIW, wouldn't it better to work collaboratively with Juan on this feature? You have ideas about your own requirements, which others are likely to share/appreciate, and working on the same end result might be better. He might also have done some of the stuff you have, then certain parts of your code would enhance what's been done.
Also, any web services functionality lacking is better off (to my mind) either in the local_mobile plugin (which was agreed high up as a good way of retrofitting the functions to older moodles as well as new ones), or the core web services (it would be nice to see the mobile stuff in core at some point).
So it's managed properly, and can be reused by others deploying their own customised stylings (beyond just the CSS) of the app.
Hi Gabriel,
here is explained: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Moodle_Mobile_Customization
You need to create a custom service including all the functions in the moodle_mobile_app plus the custom ones you created
You need then to edit the config.json file to point to the correct service
In any case, please keep in mind for the future what David said. Is better to contribute or coordinate your work with me, I'm pretty open to contributions and to help
Cheers, Juan
