Content in discussions not showing for mobile users

SierraKiloGulf

I have a flarum installation on 5 production websites, and it was brought to my attention tonight that 3/5 are having issues with mobile users displaying content of the discussions. Once opening up a thread, all you can see is the title, no replies, ect..

Maybe if you provide more info with the used extensions, flarum version, server and php version. Provide the output of the command php flarum info always helps.

Also compare configuration differences between one site where the content fails and another where content is showed properly should point to the right direction.

Same ext enabled on all sites, not sure what is going on. Trying a fresh install and importing databases,will report back

Pain in the butt for sure, but after importing most of the tables, it is now working, so I suspect an extension broke it somehow.

Edit: Scratch that. Now I'm running into database/ table/ column issues with extensions. This is gonna cause a big headache.

whole page is white and 500 returned, php error or webserver error, you can distinguish between the two from the response headers
part of page white, js error check the developer console

Sorry for my off topic post, but that is a huge list of extensions... ?

luceos

Prosperous exactly my thoughts, but then again .. why not?

SierraKiloGulf

I have isolated it to the default android browser. Seems everyone reporting the issue is using stock. Once they installed firefox or chrome it works fine.

SierraKiloGulf

Also off topic but.... why not run extensions? That's why they are there. Members don't want a bland community, the folks over at flagrow and reflar, and the individual devs out there are doing a great job at making it a pretty extensive forum to begin to use in production websites. In fact, the way Flarum was designed was to make everything outside the basic functions of a forum an extension, which actually makes it easier for a webmaster on a production site to isolate issues. Got an issue with an extension? Don't have to pull the website offline for a couple hours and do some digging, you just have to uncheck a box and hop on a test installation and figure out whats going on with that extension while users are still happily on the website. ?

A friendly reminder - Please stay on topic.

Or create a new discussion to continue debating that topic.

luceos True. Definitely helps in squashing bugs.

Surely it's a test Flarum instance though?

@SierraKiloGulf
There is always a possibility that extensions won't mix well with others. I think that's what members were refering too with the huge list of extensions comment.
With a list that long, it's more difficult to filter down to which causes error / issue.

Glad you were able to solve your issue. :thumbup:

0E800 Its doing it on a fresh install of flarum as well. All I did was import my users, posts and discussions as to not have an empty site to test with. Still can't figure out why its only on Android stock browser.

Ralkage

Depending on brand/Android version, not all stock browsers are the same.

Take Samsung for example, Samsung Internet just updated and I've already experienced weird bugs all over the Internet. It's hard to isolate an issued when it comes down to browser compatibility if it's that at all.

I would suggest taking a poll of phone brand/android version/browser version of affected device/etc.

@SierraKiloGulf @Ralkage

This might help identify 'why' stock browser doesn't support Flarum as well.

http://mobilehtml5.org/

The Android Browser does not seem to support:
IndexedDB, W3C API, Agnostic database system (replacement for Web SQL)
Web Workers, W3C API, Threading and background process communications
Form New Controls, W3C API, At least: Date, Time, Month, Range

SierraKiloGulf

Ralkage We need a poll extension to make this easier! LOL
Honestly, I'm one for finding out the issue to give a trouble free experience, but this one has been really low on the priority list anyways. One does not use a stock browser on an Android, so I'll just force my users into better browsers until I can play around with it :p
