After installing MobileFrontend, there was a significant increase in entry processes and considerably higher CPU usage. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks.

I am getting the below error with 3.33 and trying to use Mobile Frontend with the following setup:

wfLoadExtension( 'MobileFrontend' );

$wgMFAutodetectMobileView = true;

$wgMFDefaultSkinClass = 'SkinVector'; // use Vector skin

"3.33" of what exactly?

What is version 3.33?

Does your version of MobileFrontend match the MW version?

Sorry guys, my mistake. 3.33 of mediawiki. Interesting point about MFE match MW version. I will check that now.

3.33 of mediawiki does not exist. See Download

`<meta name="generator" content="MediaWiki 1.33.0-alpha"/>` I checked out the repo which contained 3.33 inside there as an alpha.

But your suggestion worked a treat, as mobileFrontend also had an version 3.33. Though I think this is buggy, being as it is also alpha.

I consider this fixed as far as the error goes.

Thanks you

Again: There is no 3.33. 1.33 is not 3.33.

Ah sir, you are indeed correct :D Thank you!

You wouldn't happen to know about galleries would you?

Category talk:Image gallery extensions

It appears I am running version 2.1.0 of MFE:

```

"name": "MobileFrontend",

"version": "2.1.0",

```

Upgrade, using Softaculous, from 1.31.0 to 1.32.0.

The Site died with following error. "undefined option: 'ResourceLoaderLESSVars'"

Added "$wgResourceLoaderLESSVars = false;" to the end of LocalSettings.php and error disappeared.

You should upgrade extensions when you upgrade core. It sounds like you're running MobileFrontend older than your MW Core version

From my experience, it is definitely expected in 2019 from anyone who develops a CMS that people use from smartphone, to be responsive.

As I understand MobileFrontend allows responsivness, I believe it should be included in core.

On this wiki the headings go berserk in mobile view because of:

.content .mw-parser-output > h1,
.content .mw-parser-output > h2,
.content .mw-parser-output > h3,
.content .mw-parser-output > h4,
.content .mw-parser-output > h5,
.content .section-heading,
.content .in-block {
    display: table;
}

I am not sure where this comes from? Should this be reported and is there a way to prevent this from happening?

This explains how you can circumvent the lack of main menu customisation in MobileFrontend/Minerva skin.

For anyone interested in an personal change of the menu 
edit includes/skins/SkinMinerva.php

• find

protected function getDiscoveryTools()

• find the line

// Nearby link (if supported)

• add above this line

		$menu->insert( 'Upload' )
			->addComponent(
				$this->msg( 'mobile-frontend-upload-button' )->escaped(),
				SpecialPage::getTitleFor( 'Upload',
					MWNamespace::getCanonicalName( $config->get( 'MFContentNamespace' ) ) )->getLocalUrl() .
						'#/test',
				MobileUI::iconClass( 'mf-upload-invert', 'before' ),
				[
					'id' => 'uploadButton',
					'data-event-name' => 'upload',
				]
			);
			
		$menu->insert( 'ListImages' )
			->addComponent(
				$this->msg( 'mobile-frontend-listimages-button' )->escaped(),
				SpecialPage::getTitleFor( 'ListFiles',
					MWNamespace::getCanonicalName( $config->get( 'MFContentNamespace' ) ) )->getLocalUrl() .
						'#/test',
				MobileUI::iconClass( 'mf-listimages-invert', 'before' ),
				[
					'id' => 'listimagesButton',
					'data-event-name' => 'ListImages',
				]
			);

edit i18n/en.json

• find the line

"mobile-frontend-random-button": "Random",

• add below

	
"mobile-frontend-upload-button": "Upload",
		
"mobile-frontend-listimages-button": "List Images",

edit extension.json

• find the line "mobile.mainMenu.icons": {
• find section

"images": { "anonymous": "resources/mobile.mainMenu.icons/anonymous.svg",

• add below this line

				
"upload": "resources/mobile.mainMenu.icons/upload.svg",
"listimages": "resources/mobile.mainMenu.icons/listimages.svg",

allocate the folder resources/mobile.mainMenu.icons

• add in resources/mobile.mainMenu.icons the required 2 new svg files with the desired icon
• upload.svg
• listimages.svg

i have tested this modification at twh4u.ddns.net

Hi, With which versions of MediaWiki and MobileFrontend have you tested ?

Thanks

MediaWiki 1.28.0 PHP 5.5.38 (fpm-fcgi) MariaDB 5.5.51-MariaDB

also in older versions ,but i don't have any reference of them anymore. i am focussing right now on 1.28.x There are more easy and fancy menu changes possible like selectable menu items etc , but until now i don't need them. You can see the concept idea of them in an pubic dutch news side NOS . com

Does this work also on Mediawiki 1.31?

With MobileFrontend 2.1.0 and MW 1.32 insert:

$menu->insert( 'Upload' )

                        ->addComponent(

                                $this->msg( 'mobile-frontend-upload-button' )->escaped(),

                                SpecialPage::getTitleFor( 'Upload')->getLocalUrl() .'#/upload',

                                MobileUI::iconClass( 'mf-upload-invert', 'before' ),

                                [

                                        'id' => 'uploadButton',

                                        'data-event-name' => 'upload',

                                ]

                        );     

instead.

I humbly think it should be... ~~~~

Using MinervaNeue with MW 1.32.2, when the mobile page loads and you tap on the hamburger menu you get nothing - no pop-up.

In mobile version not displayed radiobuttons & checkboxes (they disappear as the page loads). It's with Extension:Quiz. Help me please!

Hi,

We are trying to add JavaScript A when user visiting Desktop page, and add JavaScript B when Mobile page. We can successfully add JS file with BeforePageDisplay hook now. But can't detect the status.

Is there any way to distinguish between Viewing status (some ways to get a if/else statement status ) from Desktop and Mobile?

Thank you!
