MobileFrontend supports various configuration options that you can define in LocalSettings.php after calling or.

Note that for a simple site adding might be all you need to make it Just Work™.

Configuring mobile browser auto detection
See Configuring browser auto-detection

Configuring a skin
At time of writing, MobileFrontend is packaged up with the Minerva skin.

You can override this by using the configuration flag   $wgMFDefaultSkinClass

By default this is configured to:

Enable Nearby
MobileFrontend provides the Special:Nearby page with a little configuration. To get this to work a few optional steps are required:


 * Due to browser security you will need to be running a secure site over SSL: it is not possible to request a users location over HTTP


 * Install GeoData


 * Run update.php


 * In LocalSettings.php add


 * Add data to your articles to one or more pages  see the documentation for GeoData for syntax details

Alternatively you can use an alien MediaWiki instance for Nearby with the following 2 lines in your LocalSettings. The nearby endpoint will be used to find related content to a given location.
