Installation guide
[edit]What about installation guide? Requirements? Aev 06:32, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
- I copied the MobileFrontend folder to /w/extensions/ and added the following to LocalSettings.php:
# MobileFrontend Extension require_once("$IP/extensions/MobileFrontend/MobileFrontend.php");- I also edited the following files:
- MobileFrontend.i18n.php (text)
- /views/layout/_search_webkit.html.php (logo)
- /views/layout/application.html.php (server, icon)
- ...and uploaded my logo to /images/ and /stylesheets/images/
- It kinda works for me, however, all special characters in my articles are screwed up and so is the ToggleDisplay extension. Cheers, Till Kraemer 11:12, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you. The new version of the extension works. I had previously prescribed the same thing, but getting some errors.
- You realized somehow automatically redirect mobile users to link the mobile version with "useFormat=mobile"? 94.139.99.83 08:22, 26 July 2011 (UTC) 08:16, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
- No, but it will probably work with Extension:WikimediaMobile. Unfortunately, I'm still stuck with the mobile subdomains. I already posted at MWUsers and ModRewrite. Cheers, Till Kraemer 09:13, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
- It worked with WikimediaMobile extension, but it charges the page, then it charges the javascript, and then it redirects to the mobile version. Does anyone managed to do the redirect without charging the normal version before??
- Thanks!

Unable to download snapshot
[edit]Could someone fix this? BrettFerguson 01:04, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
- I tried downloading the snapshot and it doesn't work. So I went to get the extension through SVN. Michaelha 23:29, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
- I tried Special:ExtensionDistributor/MobileFrontend just now. It works for 1.18.x and trunk. If you continue to have issues, please note them here (links are always helpful). MZMcBride 23:12, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Read me
[edit]Is there are readme-file for this extension or a description? 85.127.219.20 19:26, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
- Besides Extension:MobileFrontend? No, I don't think so. Your best bet is to try reading through the source code or ask specific questions here. MZMcBride 23:12, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Added https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/7791
- Let us know what is missing in the README and help it be more useful. Jdlrobson (talk) 14:07, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
Site icons
[edit]Please add instruction on setting up the icons. Both favicon and upper left corner logo settings are ignored in MobileFrontend (SVN trunk of today). I guess there are new configuration options - can someone add a bit of documentation? Also, the information that the front page will be ignored unless specifically reformatted is missing, I found it somewhere but fail to find it back so I could add it here; it is not linked two links deep away... G.Hagedorn 23:28, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
- I've added information about configuration variables I could find here. The variable $wgMobileFrontendLogo is supposed to allow altering the logo; for the favicon I could not find a configuration variable. Moejoe000 10:19, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
- thanks a lot Moejoe! G.Hagedorn 20:53, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
Common.css ignored?
[edit]In our installation it seems to completely ignore the content of Mediawiki:Commons.css. Is there a setting for this? An alternative CSS page? G.Hagedorn 21:06, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
- Filed as bugzilla:34325. MZMcBride 23:17, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Compare also [1] versus [2]. Does support the horizontal list classes that were added in November. These css files shouldn't be hardcoded. Should be a separate entry in the MediaWiki namespace. WOSlinker (talk) 18:44, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
Usage manual
[edit]Is there a usage manual somewhere? I want to configure what content will be visible through this extremely useful extension, but there are no instructions. Tried to figure out from Wikipedia's main page, but couldn't figure anything out. Can someone please help out? 89.139.189.175 20:15, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
- I've added a README file https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/7791 which hopefully will be a good starting point! Jdlrobson (talk) 14:07, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
