Admin Talk is running xenforo 1.2 - take 2*

ps.. doesn't look like the "who has visited" mod that we had before will work

 

Yeah the dotted lines were ghastly.

If you are using TMS he has a temp fix on github.

 

I was wondering why it was down for a while. Glad to see you got it working!

 

Looking good!

 

I'm debating on passing over the Beta 4 upgrade and just wait for the next Beta or RC. The sites running pretty good now and we have the new functions that I was after.

*edit*
never mind, I just updated to the beta 4
we're having an issue with another mod that had been updated and I wanted to see if this would make a difference

 

Likely a mistake on my part then my host failed me with the backup.
If it happened again I could fix it or at least get the site up within 5 mins... Well, I'm fairly confident that I could.

 

My upgrade to 1.2 Beta 1 was flawless, except an issue with my ads and the responsive style

 

Goodjob on this mate i had this problem last time i ran a forum problem was i had no database to backup with so i lost my forum forever, try moving host so you can get some backups.

 

Have you not made this style responsive, Brandon?

 

AFAIK it should be?
Is there a setting somewhere?
It's the default style for the most part.

thx

 

It's not collapsing at all Brandon, scroll bars appear as soon as you minimise below the fixed width visibility.I'd take a guess you are probably using a fixed width value instead of a max-width value to set the style width.

Try resetting the General > Page Width Controller Style Properties page and then add to the miscellaneous additional CSS box on that page:

HTML:

max-width: 1280px;

Adjust the width variable (1280) to suit your requirements. Hopefully that should fix it.

 

Thanks, I'll check it out when I get some time tonight.

thanks @zappaDPJ

This is what I have now, added "max-" to what I had before.

Code:

max-width: 992px;
margin: 0 auto;
box-sizing: border-box;

Does that look better @John ?

thx

 

Joy of running a forum ^_^. Glad everything's back up. I didn't read the past 2 pages but what did you screw up in the upgrade?

 

It was mainly plugin compatibility issues with the upgrade, then I was busy camping for a weekend so everything was at a stand still.

 

I think the answer to that is yes... and at the same time no

Your style now collapses correctly but only to a certain size which is probably bigger than the smallest size required for a smart phone in portrait mode. I'll try and unravel that so it makes some sense!

Take a look a the screenshot of your forum next to one I'm currently working on. The width of yours is showing the point at which your style stops being responsive (horizontal scroll bars have appeared plus the breadbox navbar has partially disappeared behind the main navbar). Mine has collapsed down much further with no scroll bar and everything is still intact.



I can't quite see what's causing your style to only partially collapse but I'll have a poke around later and see if I can find the problem

 

OK, I've found 2 issues. The first one is not causing the responsive style to break a such but it's worth mentioning. In a nutshell your advertising is not responsive so it's partially off-screen on a smart phone. I doubt this is easily fixable.

The second issue appears to be a problem with your logo. This is hard to test without a copy of your style but I think the width of your logo is what's causing the breadbox navbar to disappear. The fix if I'm right would be a reduced width logo.

This screen capture for reference is from an iPhone 4.

 

Thanks for the info @zappaDPJ

I'll have to think over what we can do, we're not dropping that nimbus ad and I have no plans to change the logo right now.

I have upgraded to the latest xenforo 1.2 RC1
upgraded and enabled the profile completion mod we have before the upgraded
and updated the sonnb spam mod we've been using.

 

I suspect a solutions to these problems will come eventually from within XenForo and also from the advertisers. We live in an era of mobile browsing so responsive design that caters for branding and advertising is a must.

 

As if by magic suddenly an addon appeared that might solve your logo/breadbox navbar issue
