Mobile forum functionality

Mobile forum functionality

Hello

I am trying to get a good working mobile forum integrated with moodle. Since the moodle mobile app don't support posting to forum the app is unfortunately almost useless in this scenario.  

So our solution is probably best to choose a third party solution for the forum part but i don't know what to choose. Does anyone have a good recommendation? Is it to get mdroid and moodle touch working or is it to integrate phpbb (or anything else) and get the users to use taptalk? Or any other solution? 

(i haven't found a date or any information of when the post to forum functionality will come to the official moole mobil app, as i understand it will come with the next major version 3.0 which probably will be released in about 10 months? so if anyone have that information i will be grateful)

Hi,

we are planning to add support for forum posting in Moodle 3.0 (that will be release in November this year).

In any case, we usually backport the new functionality to the local_mobible plugin so you can have and old Moodle version with that plugin installing supporting the forums posting. So, hopefuly, forum posting will be able in local_mobile in September (see https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/Moodle_Mobile_additional_features).
