Note on the Upcoming iPhone Interface

[Ernie H.]

Hi everyone - Kyle recently posted a note on the upcoming Ning iPhone interface to your social network, with screenshots. This is scheduled for an early September release. Some important things to note:

1) Like all new features, this feature is available for centralized networks. If you previously asked for source code access and you would access to this feature by re-centralizing your network, contact the team through the Ning Help Center.

2) If you're on centralized code and have ever manually created your own "/m/" directory, widget or "Pages" page, you'll need to rename it prior to the iPhone release to avoid issues.

If anyone has questions or concerns regarding this, let me know.
Thanks! -Ernie

Ernie - I have a team building an iPhone applicayion and they are struggling with using the REST API to retrieve members information. Would it be possible to introduce you to them through email to help answer a few questions? Perhaps this new iPhone interface might help?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Ernie,

I run a small social network for artists in the Tulsa area. Is there any way to do the following with the Iphone app....

1. Customize the tabs that are seen on the top of the page.
2. Add a search engine for the page to search the network?

Just curious. Thanks

It should appear similar to your network's theme.

We created a very simple iPhone appli that can call up the safari and respectively our ning network in 1 click (by touching the appli icon) however, apple did not approved it as they use the argument that safari does that... but only takes more steps ... well how come they do have facebook appli and other Social Networks in the apple store??? Anyway, I am just hoping if someone had tried to submit something along those lines to apple and get approved ? I guess my question is there any Ning network accessible by appli on iPhone or you and your members just type the /m in the end of your network URL to see it on the iPhone?

Any recommendations moving forward?

Cheers
