Mobile compatible site

[jussyfranklin]

There are many website which can not be easily open in a mobile and also many website that open in a different way in a mobile phone.According to me website should be mobile compatible because many people are using internet on their mobile.

Folks,

I'm enlisting the help of a web guru friend to see if we can get tapatalk working again.

No promises... but it's on my list.

I did some research on tapatalk. I would love this feature!

Ok, I'd like to volunteer to set it up. I've installed various web forums before, phpbb being one of them, so I'm familiar with the software, and rooting around a *ix web server. On the tapatalk site, it has what appears to be a very simple, easy to follow instructions on getting it going for phpbb. It looks like it would take all of 10 minutes to get it installed and working.

Anyways, i know you don't know me, and are probably reluctant to trust me. I'd be willing to discuss over the phone, and provide my linkedin page, (as proof of my tech savvy). Anyways, up to you....just let me know if interested.

It was set up, then it stopped working when I upgraded from FreeBSD 8.x to FreeBSD 9.x and had to upgrade all the PHP and MySQL stuff.

Now it won't reinstall or behave normally. I'm going to have to grok through code to fix it.

Ouch...... I don't envy you.....

I've experienced something similar, and it was not fun....

I 'believe' I have this fixed now. I spent some time yesterday writing some simple php code, and digging through other code. I was able to track down a missing module (XML Parser), and spent time trying to figure out how to get it installed. I never did find any instructions on the web on 'how' to do this. The xml was supposed to be enabled by default.

Long story short, I made a hand edit to the configure process, adding an --enable-xml, and when the server restarted, the tapatalk forum owner page now shows tapatalk 'should' be working. Also, the AutoMOD of the forum (in the admin tools), is also again working

NOTE, this may fix a few other things on the site, but I have not heard any grumbling about any other features failing to work. There may not be too many places in the forum where XML parsing is done, but there may be some areas, such as certain features within the user control panel, or posting, pm's, etc that may work better (or worse) now that this is properly setup.

This may not be the final 'setup'. UJ is the guru when it comes to FreeBSD, not me. I am a newb, that simply digs in enough to finally stumble across things. I have sent UJ all of the information, and he may regenerate things in a different manner, but now that we know the problem, the fix should not be hard.

Ugly and hard to diagnose bug, for sure. But hopefully things are now working for people.

Please let me know if things work (or not).

Very good to hear.

NOTE, our server version is far behind. But I am NOT going to update that, for a while, to make sure things are working. The tapatalk upgrade process kind of sux, and causes loss of 5 or 6 of my hand modifications to site files, so it takes a decent amount of time to do, and want to make darn sure things are running correctly before I undertake that upgrade.

I just downloaded tapatalk for use solely on this site and so far I like it a lot. Glad you dedicated fellows got it working!

If it ain't broke, don't f'in fix it!! Number one rule all techie's should live and breath!

Agreed, but we are a year behind, AND the current version is a major release. I am going to find out what is there/fixed before doing anything. But I am pretty comfortable that it is working right at this time.

The PHP engine had to be recompile by hand (old school), with the XMLParse component forced to be on to get it to work. Doing that also 'fixed' the AutoMOD component within the phpbb system, so it was pretty obvious that this correction was certainly something that needed to be done. This happened when UJ upgraded the FreeBSD system. I am not sure why they changed how the PHP was built but they did. That XMLParse module is a little older, and performance is not as good as using other modules, but it is listed as being built by default. Well, it was not being built. here. Go figure. Was a very ugly little bug to find, because there was no real diagnostics given of what was wrong.

I hope this was the only anomaly. If users know of parts of the board that do not work like they should, or which have been 'broken' for the last 9 months or so, then shoot me a pm listing exactly what is happening now, and what 'should' be happening, and I will make sure that some other features were not built into the existing PHP engine. I think we have it all now, but who knows.

Thanks for the time, effort and hard work to get this feature working. I'm happy to be reading this forum again on my tablet using the Tapatalk app.
