[SaN-DeeP]

The app is not designed to be used in lieu of the web forums. It wouldn't be a supported setup- in fact during initial setup of the app it is required there be at least one post in one guest accessible forum.

Can you please help me understand this part in easy/layman language..
{I entered the topic as found this idea to be GREAT by OP. Some excellent way of selling ad based apps and paid apps using vbulletin, without accessing the actual websites.}

I would strongly suspect in VB4 you can create a custom plugin that would display a message to users not using the mobile app that they have to use the mobile app for access. I am not sure how you might do that in VB5 but it is likely possible with custom coding of the forum.

I guess, this will be only fully supported by 5.x and not by 4.x ?

You cannot do any custom programming to the mobile app itself. You will only get compiled files you will not be able to view or change the source files.

Can my modifications on web version, work on mobile version as well ?
I do not care for custom coding the android app, till its available @ cost I am paying for

Your only customizations are some options you can choose like colors, images, and advertising options.

Thats the best part, I appreciate..

Yes you do need a vBulletin forum up and running to install and use the app.
Yes you can allow users to register through the app.

Thanks for clarifying same..

But still some questions which I am unsure about asking again (This time for both 4.x and 5.x)
Can i close/turn off my web/hosted version of forums to all my existing/new users.. and make/force them only use the mobile app (ADROID OR IOS as supported) to regiter and/or do needful with forums.

Big Thanks for clarifying much details.
