FYI: Have made it so search results (new topics page, posts in last 24 hours page, etc.) and who is online (whoisonline) page auto refreshes every (configurable) 30 seconds in the mobile prototype.

I use this feature often on my iPhone+ as I watch the news or do other tasks to keep an eye on the forums.

Yesterday I tried some Javascript "swiper code" so we can do pagination on mobile with right and left screen swipes, but for some odd reason the code worked fine on text pages before I wrapped the forum pages inside. Worked on this feature for a few hours and decided to take a break and will try again another day soon.

May take a break and get some badly needed exercise, LOL.

Your body needs a break once in a while! I find that exercise and Sudoku puzzles help clear my mind and sometimes let flashes of solutions to problems I've been working on for days seep into my consciousness.

Cheers,
Don

For mobile "who is online" and for the member's profile, I added code for usergroup default avatars for those who do not have avatars:

Code:

    
          $avatarurl = fetch_avatar_url($userinfo['userid']);
           if (!$avatarurl) {
             if($userinfo['usergroupid'] == '10')  // Mods
                   $icon_url = 'https://www.unix.com/customavatars/avatar302016126_2.png';
               else if($userinfo['usergroupid'] == '5')  //Mods
                   $icon_url = 'https://www.unix.com/customavatars/avatar302016126_2.png';
               else if($userinfo['usergroupid'] == '13') // Banned
                   $icon_url = 'https://www.unix.com/customavatars/avatar34166_2.gif';
               else if($userinfo['usergroupid'] == '11') // Undergrounders
                 $icon_url = 'https://www.unix.com/customavatars/avatar44786_2.gif';
               else if($userinfo['usergroupid'] == '9') // Readonly
                 $icon_url = 'https://www.unix.com/customavatars/read_only_1.png';
               else if($userinfo['usergroupid'] == '17') //Vips
                 $icon_url = 'https://www.unix.com/customavatars/vip.png';
              else  // default
               $icon_url = 'https://www.unix.com/customavatars/avatar46598_1.gif';
              $neo_avatar = $icon_url;
            } else    {
           $neo_avatar = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/' . $avatarurl[0];
           }

You don't mean configurable by the user?? I'm finding that when viewing "Who's online" (especially with avatars taking up screen room), if there are a lot of members connected, my screen refreshes and takes me back to top of page before I can reach the bottom of the page.

Even more so, this happens when browsing down through "Today's posts" because there can be quite a lot of posts in 24 hours.

Anybody else finding this irritating? Or am I missing something?

(This isn't a great criticism. I realise it's under development.)

Hi,

Yes, that was a error caused by me working on a new PHP plugin to help make the mobile experiment better.

Thanks for your patience.
