SMF4iPhone Mod

[Fabius85]

Its really strange, I wasnt logged in (just Guest), and the standard view was present. Once I logged in the iPhone Theme worked.

but it should load the iphone theme even if you are not logged in

I believe you are correct, but for some strange reason the Normal web view was present until I logged in.  Their is also a classic button, that take me back to the normal view.

Just as a matter of interest, how do you get the main logo to sit correctly, and what size should it be for the Portrait iPhone view.

Just as a matter of interest, how do you get the main logo to sit correctly, and what size should it be for the Portrait iPhone view.

size of the image depends on what effect you prefer to have on your logo. by the way you can manage with it in the style.css file, if you search for:

#logo{

   height: 78px;
   margin-bottom: 8px;
   margin-left: 9px;
   margin-right: 9px;
   margin-top: 14px;
   background: url(images/logo.jpg) 0px -30px no-repeat;
   border: 1px solid #aaa;
   -webkit-border-radius: 8px;
   clear: both;
   overflow: hidden;
   z-index: 0;

}

#logocover{

   height: 211px;
   background: url(images/logocover.png) right repeat-y;
   -webkit-border-radius: 10px;
   margin-right: -1px;
   margin-top: -2px;
   z-index: 1;
}

there you can change the properties of the logo positioning and effects.

Damn forum, keeps timing out so I have to write this all over again!

...Mad props for this theme/mod!  I have, however, come across a few bugs.

1.  After initial installation and logging in, the links on the bottom don't bring me anywhere.  I had to manually update the  a href='#' in the index.template.php file to make them work.

2.  The search page doesn't work (i go to the page but the search field doesn't appear, it's just a blank page).  albertamoto[dot]com/search/ works in a browser but not on a smartphone using this theme

3.  Video is wonky.  If you try to view a video you posted, it'll try to edit the post instead.  Logging out and attempting to view the video, however, will work.

Thanks again for the great mod/theme.  I'm coping this before I submit this time!

1 and 2. i really dont have any matters (and no one yet reported any problem with buttons at the bottom, or search page).
3. you have to disable quoting (button on the top of every topic page) to be able to "tap" anywhere without opening "reply with quoting" page.

Thanks for the quick response Fabius.  Ran across another issue as well with another website t2iforum[dot].com

1.  The 'Boards' - 'Latest Posts' at the top of the smf4iphone theme are not there (they're there on my other site).  I looked at the code and they should be triggered on if($settings['number_recent_posts'] > 1).  I tried changing the 1 to a 0 and then emptying the file cache on the site then clearing the cache and cookies on my android phone and then it didn't even pick up the smf4iphone theme when I loaded it up.  I reset it to 1 then cleared the cache from the website and phone and the cookies from my android phone and it loaded the theme but again without the 'Boards' and 'Latest Posts' buttons.

the tabs appears if you enabled recent posts showing in the theme settings. recent posts to be displayed must be at least 1 to make that tab appear

[ABMoto]

Don't think that's it as I have recent posts enabled and set to 5 on both of my sites (see screenshots).

Also, how does the recent post logic work and how could I increase the number of recent posts that it shows (ex.  for the site where it works, it's set to 5 recent posts but the smf4iphone theme only shows 3)?

did you set it both on default smf default theme and iphone theme?

[ABMoto]

You're the man!  That was it!  Thanks you so much.  Now the Latest Posts are showing for the t2iforum smartphone site!

At the risk of being that annoying guy one more time, I have one last issue.

When clicking on 'Latest Posts' in t2iforum[dot]com through the smf4iphone theme, the content headers appear on top of the recent posts (see 02.jpg attachment - ex. Introductions, T2i / 550D General Discussion, T2i / 550D Video-Specific Discussion, ...etc...) instead of just the recent posts appearing (this is working correctly on my other site albertamoto[dot]com).  The only difference between the two forums is that the one working (albertamoto[dot]com) is using child boards and this one isn't.  I think I've narrowed down the issue to the following code in iphone.js:

function iswitch(id){

   if(id=='switcher'){
      document.getElementById(id).id = 'switcheralt';
     
      var x= document.getElementsByTagName('ul');
     
      for(var i = 0;i<x.length;i++){
         
         if(x.id=='contentrecent')
            x.style.display='block';
         if(x.id=='contentboards')
            x.style.display='none';
            }
      document.getElementById('childbuttondiv').style.display='none';
           
      var x= document.getElementsByTagName('h2');
     
      for(var i = 0;i<x.length;i++){
         
         if(x.id=='contentrecenth2')
            x.style.display='block';
         if(x.id=='contentboardsh2')
            x.style.display='none';
            }
     
   }else{
   
      document.getElementById(id).id = 'switcher';
     
      var x= document.getElementsByTagName('ul');
     
      for(var i = 0;i<x.length;i++){
         
         if(x.id=='contentrecent')
            x.style.display='none';
         if(x.id=='contentboards')
            x.style.display='block';
            }
      document.getElementById('childbuttondiv').style.display='block';
           
      var x= document.getElementsByTagName('h2');
     
      for(var i = 0;i<x.length;i++){
         
         if(x.id=='contentrecenth2')
            x.style.display='none';
         if(x.id=='contentboardsh2')
            x.style.display='block';
            }
   
      }
   

}

Any suggestions on what this might be?

Fabius,

I installed the theme, which loads properly. I installed the mod and directed mobile user agents to the theme (#35).  But when i visit from my iphone, it still shows the normal site. Can you advise? The site is bhangrateams forum.com (without the space) Thanks!

[ABMoto]

Leemy,

I tried accessing your site with my Nexus One and didn't get the smf4iphone theme.

Have you tried the following:

1.  Go to Admin -> Configuration -> Themes and Layouts -> Manage and Install
     Then make sure that 'Allow members to select their own themes.' is checked and that the smf4iphone theme is checked
     (see attached manage_install_themes.jpg)

2.  Go to Admin -> Maintenance -> Forum Maintenance
     Then scroll down to the 'Empty the file cache' section and click 'Run task now'
     (see attached empty_file_cache.jpg)
     The clear the cache and cookies on your smartphone and try reloading the page

[Leemy]

ABMoto,

I had already set the option in #1 but had not emptied the cache. I have emptied the cache and it now auto-selects. Thanks!

[Fabius85]

there's a little bug which i'm gonna fix in the next release of the theme.
to fix it yourself you should open BoardIndex.template.php in SMF4iPhone Theme folder and search for:

Code Select Expand

if ($children) echo '

<div class="child buttons" id="childbuttondiv">

<button id="childboardbutton" onclick="childBoards();">Show ', $txt['parent_boards'], '</button>

</div>

';

then replace it with:

Code Select Expand

if ($children) echo '

<div class="child buttons" id="childbuttondiv">

<button id="childboardbutton" onclick="childBoards();">Show ', $txt['parent_boards'], '</button>

</div>

';

else echo '

<div class="child buttons" id="childbuttondiv"></div>

';

that should fix you matter

Ok I have to say this but shouldn't this stuff be with the theme not the mod?

Are you quoting me? If so I dont know what you mean...

[butchs]

Quoting no one in particular but this is a mod thread.  I thought there was a thread for the theme?  I would assume it could get confusing to readers?

I am quite confusing as well...I will post it in the theme thread...

If you click the "Classic" button and go to the forum theme, how do you get back to the iPhone theme?

in the readme it is explained how to add a link to your other themes to get back to iphone theme
