AppSite display issues on Samsung mobile devices

Hi Gavick,

Are you or anybody else in this AppSite forum aware of any display issues with Samsung mobile devices? My client says that their AppSite is a jumbled mess in Samsung phones.

If anybody has a Samsung phone, please pm me and I'll send you a link.

Displays fine on iPhone 3G, and oddly, the desktop version displays by default on HTC Amaze. On an iPad test site it also displays the desktop version.

Please advise...

Thanks,
Railer

By Samsung you mean smartphone with Android operating system or some feature phone ?

Hi bkrztuk,

I don't have any other information since my client was giving a seminar and two of the attendees he spoke with afterwards showed him his site on their phones. He just said is was a "jumbled mess". Hard to interpret that. I think it is because when he views the site on his HTC Amaze it shows the desktop version, so maybe he wasn't aware that the mobile version doesn't have the big slideshow image of the desktop. Just a white background with menus.

One problem is that I modified the logo to be a bit wider, but the template isn't rescaling it down to fit within the phone browser width. Also, I have a module in the header which I'd like to adjust the margin-left setting for, just on mobile devices.

I'll have a look around at the various mobile-related template files and see if I can figure it out.

Best,
railer

Another question...
If I install Mobile Joomla, how do I get it to work instead of the built-in mobile versions that come with AppSite?

If you use updated template version you can choose different logo for mobile version - with different size so it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks bkrztuk,

Good to know. It's not as easy as just updating it, since I'd have to re-apply all of the customizations I did. Do you know what the update feature in the Template parameters does? How does it work? Will it overwrite all of the core template files?

Maybe I don't understand question but template update doesn't make any changes in template configuration because this settings are stored in database and update process affect only on files.
