Forum won't display on mobile device

meshugy · December 2013

I'm not sure, but I don't think I've checked my forum on a mobile device since I upgraded to 2.1b2. It displayed fine on a mobile device with 2.0.18 but is now just completely blank with no content loading at all.

http://www.djangobooks.com/vanilla-forum/

I tried numerous different themes and disabled all plugin but nothing helped. Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks,

Michael

I think if you are going to use 2.1b2 you have to expect these problems.

It is actually your responsibility as a beta tester to report and even diagnose these issues.

If you are getting a blank page, try enabling debugging.

guessing it is smarty.

hgtonight · December 2013

I am guessing it is a bug in the framework

x00 · December 2013

bets are on.

ok, debugging is on:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function admincheck() in/home/gypsypicking/djangobooks.com/vanilla-forum/applications/vanilla/views/discussions/index.php on line 6

the appropriate place to report this in on github

@hgtonight you win.

I think your mobile them my override helper_functions.php with an older version

You can copy this to conf/bootstrap.before.php

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();
// yada yada
if (!function_exists('AdminCheck')) {
function AdminCheck($Discussion = NULL, $Wrap = FALSE) {
   static $UseAdminChecks = NULL;
   if ($UseAdminChecks === NULL)
      $UseAdminChecks = C('Vanilla.AdminCheckboxes.Use') && Gdn::Session()->CheckPermission('Garden.Moderation.Manage');

   if (!$UseAdminChecks)
      return '';

   static $CanEdits = array(), $Checked = NULL;
   $Result = '';

   if ($Discussion) {
      if (!isset($CanEdits[$Discussion->CategoryID]))
         $CanEdits[$Discussion->CategoryID] = GetValue('PermsDiscussionsEdit', CategoryModel::Categories($Discussion->CategoryID));



      if ($CanEdits[$Discussion->CategoryID]) {
         // Grab the list of currently checked discussions.
         if ($Checked === NULL) {
            $Checked = (array)Gdn::Session()->GetAttribute('CheckedDiscussions', array());

            if (!is_array($Checked))
               $Checked = array();
         }

         if (in_array($Discussion->DiscussionID, $Checked))
            $ItemSelected = ' checked="checked"';
         else
            $ItemSelected = '';

         $Result = <<<EOT
<span class="AdminCheck"><input type="checkbox" name="DiscussionID[]" value="{$Discussion->DiscussionID}" $ItemSelected /></span>
EOT;
      }
   } else {
      $Result = '<span class="AdminCheck"><input type="checkbox" name="Toggle" /></span>';
   }

   if ($Wrap) {
      $Result = $Wrap[0].$Result.$Wrap[1];
   }

   return $Result;
}
}

I can't promise this is the only issue.

curious.

it works with default mobile theme on my test version in 2.1b2,

and you have removed the .ini files from your cache folder as well?

what theme are you using for the mobile theme and did you modify it?

I tried that but it made even the desktop view totally blank.

there were some in there but I removed them and still have the same problem

I'm using the embed friendly theme for the desktop view. The only mobile theme I have is the default one which I assume Vanilla will use when a mobile device is detected. Is there something I need to set somewhere? 2.0.18 just switched the mobile theme automatically.

peregrine · December 2013

$Configuration['Garden']['MobileTheme'] = 'mobile';

should point to your mobile theme.

I would consider reinstalling core files. Because unless I'm missing something, the mobile theme works perfectly (that is no error), if installed correctly.

However, first things first, i would disable plugins one by one - and see if a plugin is causing a weird problem in the mobile theme.

meshugy · December 2013

I added the mobile config and reinstalled all core files. I'm still receiving the same error.

I tried disabling all the plugins before but will try again.

meshugy · December 2013

every single plugin is off, still receiving the same error:

What OS and version of PHP is installed? You can find out by making a file with the .php extension, name it anything, copy this code in it, and open the link of the file on your website if you don't know:

<?php
echo "Operating System: " . php_uname();
echo "\nCurrent PHP version: " . phpversion();
?>

post the first 10 lines from

forum/applications/vanilla/views/helper_functions.php

also look in your themes for helper_functions.php (if it exists that may be causing problem)

I'm on Dreamhost and my VPS is running on PHP 5.3 Fast

The embed friendly theme does not have this file but I did find it in the mobile them:

themes/mobile/views/discussions/helper_functions.php

vrijvlinder · December 2013

Have you tried other mobile themes ?

Try Mobile, or YellowMobile, or even glass Mobile. They all work with 2.1 . May be a theme related issue.

To change the mobile theme just replace the name of the theme in the configuration pertaining to mobile theme in config.php .

1)post the first 10 lines from

forum/applications/vanilla/views/helper_functions.php

you didn't post the lines from the correct file. look at the location. but it is not necessary if you follow step below.

the mobile them in 2.1b2 does NOT have a

helper_functions.php

nor does it have a discussions folder.

you need to remove folder /mobile entirely.

and re-install the /mobile from vanilla 2.1b2

when upgrading, there maybe left over remnants from previous versions (especially views) you will have problems

if you do this I guarantee your problem will go away
