[DEV] phpBBmobile Device Browser Style

[Sniper_E]

I'll look at those templates later and compare them to what I have.

That is not the way to go Stud. Making a group for mobile users is not what you need. I'll have to check into how to make that link work.

Sniper... Here is the change to the ucp_register.html

Open template/ucp_register.html

Find:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_CONFIRM_CODE -->
<hr />
<br />

<hr />
<table cellspacing="0">
   <tr>
      <th>{L_CONFIRMATION}</th>
   </tr>
</table>

<hr />
<table cellspacing="0">
   <tr class="row2">
      <td><span class="gensmall">{L_CONFIRM_EXPLAIN}</span></td>
   </tr>
</table>

<hr />
<table cellspacing="0">
   <tr class="row1">
      <td align="center">{CONFIRM_IMG}</td>
   </tr>
   <tr class="row1">
      <td><b class="genmed">{L_CONFIRM_CODE}: </b><br /><span class="gensmall">{L_CONFIRM_CODE_EXPLAIN} <!-- IF S_CONFIRM_REFRESH -->{L_VC_REFRESH_EXPLAIN}<!-- ENDIF --></span></td>
   </tr>
   <tr class="row1">
      <td><input class="post" type="text" name="confirm_code" size="8" maxlength="8" /><!-- IF S_CONFIRM_REFRESH -->&nbsp;<input type="submit" value="{L_VC_REFRESH}" class="btnlite" /><!-- ENDIF --></td>
   </tr>
</table>
<!-- ENDIF -->


Replace with:

Code: Select all

      <!-- IF CAPTCHA_TEMPLATE -->
      <!-- INCLUDE {CAPTCHA_TEMPLATE} -->
      <!-- ENDIF -->


Thats the only change to the ucp_register.html. I just decided to include all the files but you can certainly just make the edit as well.

Oh yeah, and my members are happy they can register from there mobile device now and you can use the built in anti spam features in phpBB now

Thank you sniper

the change to the ucp_register.html, should we do it to our file also?

[Hippie459MN]

Thank you sniper

the change to the ucp_register.html, should we do it to our file also?

If you do your going to need the 3 files also that I included along with the ucp_register.html back a page. Just upload them to the template folder and then refresh your template.

I did not edit 2 of the 3 files for the mobile site so you might need to tweak them to your liking.

[Studsir]

I see, thank you.
first I should test by register myself using the captcha, may be I do not need changing any.

I have a fresh copy of phpBB 3.0.10 installed and in the ACP / General / Spambot countermeasures

I do not have the plugin of Q&A or the reCaptha - Are these something you have to add?
I'll have to go look at .com and see what's up.
I bet I've never edited those sections of the registration page.

[Hippie459MN]

Ok... I have found another error that I remember fixing on other installs. There is duplicate options on the posting page for attaching your sig and the set topic as normal, stickey, etc...

open template/posting_body.html

Find:

Code: Select all

   <!-- IF S_LOCK_TOPIC_ALLOWED -->
   <tr>
      <td class="row2 genmed"><input type="checkbox" class="radio" name="lock_topic"{S_LOCK_TOPIC_CHECKED} /> {L_LOCK_TOPIC}</td>
   </tr>
   <!-- ENDIF -->
   <!-- IF S_LOCK_POST_ALLOWED -->
   <tr>
      <td class="row2 genmed"><input type="checkbox" class="radio" name="lock_post"{S_LOCK_POST_CHECKED} /> {L_LOCK_POST} [{L_LOCK_POST_EXPLAIN}]</td>
   </tr>
   <!-- ENDIF -->

Delete that find

Find:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_SIG_ALLOWED -->
   <tr class="row1">
      <td><input type="checkbox" class="radio" name="attach_sig"{S_SIGNATURE_CHECKED} /></td>
      <td class="gen">{L_ATTACH_SIG}</td>
   </tr>
<!-- ENDIF -->

Find again:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_SIG_ALLOWED -->
   <tr class="row1">
      <td><input type="checkbox" class="radio" name="attach_sig"{S_SIGNATURE_CHECKED} /></td>
      <td class="gen">{L_ATTACH_SIG}</td>
   </tr>
<!-- ENDIF -->

Delete the second find.

Find:

Code: Select all

   <!-- IF S_TYPE_TOGGLE -->
   <tr class="row1">
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
      <td class="gen"><!-- IF S_EDIT_POST -->{L_CHANGE_TOPIC_TO}<!-- ELSE -->{L_POST_TOPIC_AS}<!-- ENDIF -->: <!-- BEGIN topic_type --><input type="radio" class="radio" name="topic_type" value="{topic_type.VALUE}"{topic_type.S_CHECKED} />{topic_type.L_TOPIC_TYPE}&nbsp;&nbsp;<!-- END topic_type --></td>
   </tr>
   <!-- ENDIF -->

Delete that find.

Now save your changes then refresh your template files.

Also, Do the edits in that order. I chose to just for a little cleaner look

Its in there. Nothing I installed.

Here is some screen shots of my ACP.

Hippie, I'm not sure about your edits up there.
The sig codes that are duplicated... you should actually take out the first one, not the second one.
Taking out all of that other code doesn't look right either.

Pull up one window in your mobile style and pull up another window in the subsilver2 style.
With these windows side by side, going to the same pages in each, you can see the comparison.
I think you are trying to get rid of too much code in there.

This style was made four years ago when most phones could not pull in the stylesheets classes.
It had to be made simple. Technology has evolved and most phone's browsers can handle web pages fine.
It may be time to pull out another mobile style using more features that couldn't be used back then.

With my smart phone I can even add a smilie in a post like I couldn't do four years ago.
There are all kinds of things we can do now with our mobile devices that were impossible back then.

[Hippie459MN]

I certainly could have left them in there but then it causes the options shown to appear twice on every mobile device I have tried it on. (4 so far. 3 different androids and an iPhone)

I just removed the edits I did for look I was after. I could have left the first ones in there for both the edits. The board still seems to function as normal with them removed. I can still sticky, lock, delete, etc... topics/posts.

I will look at the SubSilver2 file and see what that looks like. I do not currently have subsilver installed on my board but I just might to see what it looks like
