TP Breaks WAP2 Access to Forum - SOLVED

[JustClem]

I noticed today that I can no longer access the WAP2 (i.e., mobile) version of my forum using the URL:

Code Select Expand

www.mydomain.com/forum/index.php?;wap2

The error displayed is "Unable to load the 'wap2_tportalfront' template."

Having an integrated way of accessing the forums from mobile devices is one of the features that makes SMF really attractive. Any way this can be re-enabled using a different form of the URL?

Does "index.php?action=forum;wap2" work? I havent got a WAP phone to test this...

[Bjørn]

If it doesn't I am pretty sure why..I will change this for the next release.

Bloc, that URL did work!

FYI:  You don't need a mobile device to test or use the WAP version ... just plug the URL into your browser and you will see a text-only view of your forums!

Great! It means i just have to supply a wap version for the frontpage, and you should have no problems.

I didn't know that you could do that.. ..but now I do.

I would put a WAP-front page feature *way* down on the priority list

WAP access to the forums is great, but I can certainly do without mobile access to the frontpage.

Comments on front page articles would be much more useful, IMO.

Thanks again, Bloc!

ah, yes. Comments IS on my list.

is there a way for php to autodtect this in the current release?

It looks like it is possible.  Thread at SMF forums discussing how to do it is at http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=37763.0

Also, SMF 1.1 will autodetect mobile browsers.

Man I can't wait for 1.1
