[Forum] Mobile Style Detection Settings

[Chips]

In the upgrade announcement it said to enable the mobile settings (in settings) and set the auto detect function. Where are the auto-detect settings found? Only thing I have found is what style to show mobile browsers. Is there another place for setting the auto-detect?

Also, Once you select the mobile style (as a visitor or member) there is no way to revert back to your main style unless you log out, change the settings in adminCP for "allow users to select style".

The auto-detect is done in the init.php file. The settings tell the site what to do if they detect a mobile device.

You can get back to your style by going to the home page (click on logo) and clicking on Full Site at the bottom of the page.

Are you speaking of the init.php in forum/install directory? And what values need to be added or changed? I saw nothing in there regarding mobile or auto detecting.

Tried the logo click then clicking Full Site and it does not change the style. It just refreshes to the mobile theme.

I am talking about the one in /includes.

Have you tried disabling all your plugins to see if it is a modification causing the issue with Full Site not working?

[Chips]

Ok, file located section covering mobile found, what settings do you change? Is it just change the statements here to true?

// Test mobile browser
$mobile_browser = false;
$mobile_browser_advanced = false;

Tested the styles here and it does revert back. Will disable mods to see if that changes the error.

Have you edited the settings in AdminCP > Settings > Options > Style & Language Settings?

[Chips]

Yes. I set them both (new and old mobile). Then tested via my smart phone. It did not render in mobile style, just the default (custom) template.

All I am asking for for is what settings in the init.php file need changed. Can't someone just post it?

[Trevor Hannant]

Sorry, we cannot support the modifying of the vBulletin code. However, as many others are getting it to work OK, it sounds like there is an issue with your setup. If you wish us to look at it further, then you need to follow instructions given previously.

6) Edit [STYLE & LANGUAGE] settings

7) Adjust settings for the new MOBILE STYLE options, including DETECTION settings.

This is what is posted in the upgrade announcement. Look at number 7, what DETECTION settings need adjusted? That is my question. Or, am I reading too much into it and once I allow user select and specify what style to show Modern and Old phones, is that it?

[Trevor Hannant]

That's the settings I asked about in post 7. Do you allow users to select styles?

Yes.

Having read some other posts in other forums here I realize the only settings to change are in the admincp. The way the post was written it mentions detection settings however, that is very ambiguous as there is no verbiage in the settings that use the word "Detection".

To recap then, select the style to show Default Style for Modern Mobile Browsers = Mobile Style, select to show Old mobile browsers = Mobile style. Then scroll down and select "Allow Users To Change Styles" to Yes. And you are done... no other changes need to be made.

Correct?

[Trevor Hannant]

Yes, correct.
