NEW UPDATE : Mobile forums, Footer edit, and more inside!


Hello,

In order to continuously improve our services and to bring you the best in the world of forums, we offer you today a new update that will add three brand new features. Very Happy

Without making you wait longer, here are the contents of this update:


1. Modifying the footer of your forums : In exchange of credits, you will know be able to delete the footer. Extra feature, you can also add your own links for free!





2. More options in the moderation panel : You will now be able to change several topics at a time to 'sticky', 'announcement' or 'normal' in a few clicks!



3. Your forum on your Mobile phone : Now, your forums are fully optimized for browsing via mobile devices and smartphones. The principle is very simple, the forum will automatically detect the visitors who access it from a mobile device or smartphone, and it automatically displays a version optimized for this type of navigation.
Of course, the visitor who does not wish to use the mobile version will be available to him the possibility to return to normal view forum.
This feature is still in beta, you will only be able to browse the forum as a guest. No posting yet.





Finally, A big THANK YOU to the entire Forumotion community for all those brilliant ideas!
See you soon!

Best,
Forumotion Team

Templates for the footer


Important: Admins with custom templates on their forums like phpBB2 or PunBB must necessarily consider the following changes on the templates



*********************
PhpBB 2 : overall_footer
*********************


the following block:

Code:
<div id="page-footer">
   <div align="center">
      <div class="gen">
         <strong>{ADMIN_LINK}</strong>{U_VERSION_RTL}{U_CREATE_A_FORUM}{U_VERSION} {U_SUPPORT}
         <!-- BEGIN switch_view_stats -->
          | <a name="bottom" href="{switch_view_stats.S_STATS}" class="copyright" rel="nofollow">{switch_view_stats.L_STATS}</a>
         <!-- END switch_view_stats -->
         <!-- BEGIN switch_view_donation -->
          | <a name="bottom" href="{switch_view_donation.U_DONATION}" class="copyright" rel="nofollow">{switch_view_donation.L_MAKE_DONATION}</a>
         <!-- END switch_view_donation -->
         <!-- BEGIN switch_view_contact -->
          | <a name="bottom" href="{switch_view_contact.U_CONTACT}" class="copyright" rel="nofollow">{switch_view_contact.L_CONTACT}</a>
         <!-- END switch_view_contact -->
         {U_ABUSE} {U_BLOG}
      </div>
   </div>
</div>


must be replaced by:

Sweeet update!
3 MrMario, on 24/02/2011 at 16h40
Typlo how can someone update their templates if you have to buy template editing? Plus how could someone with 0 credits and no money make the necessary changes?
4 Leeloo, on 24/02/2011 at 16h44
Templates are free to be modified, apart from Arab and Turkish community.
5 MrMario, on 24/02/2011 at 16h47
Its telling me I need to pay 500 credits.

http://robotentfan.4umer.net/ (phpbb3, but you can tell by clicking templates and goes to the template management to where you buy them.)

6 Leeloo, on 24/02/2011 at 16h56
Both forums you sent me are in phpBB3, the option isn't available.

But indeed you shouldn't be invited to pay for an option that doesn't exist.
7 MrMario, on 24/02/2011 at 17h00
Thats right. I forgot to change the version back to punbb. Stupid me. Embarassed

1. nice updates Very Happy

10 jamski, on 24/02/2011 at 17h42
Great update, been waiting for the mobile version. Will we be able to change elements of the mobile site? Colours, add a logo that sort of thing? And when will we be able to log in and actually post using the mobile version?

Thanks,

James.

I believe this will be coming once its out of Beta Wink
13 ToTheFuture, on 24/02/2011 at 22h04
@2: Been meaning to suggest this for a month now! Also, replies on a topic page should be selectable/deletable at once too! I find it a pain to use 40 page refreshes just to delete 20 bad comments.
14 ToTheFuture, on 24/02/2011 at 22h06
Oh yes, and been meaning to suggest #3 too. Smile Great work guys! You rule! Mr. Green
(sorry I didn't edit, I don't think there's a button and I sent by accident)

Nice stuff.

But Mobile isn't working for me. I'm using an old iPod Touch 2nd Generation, Opera Mini Web Browser.
18 Syfte, on 24/02/2011 at 23h05
Woops. Is it restricted to Safari for now?
19 musket, on 24/02/2011 at 23h14
It didn't work when new template was published, Forum wouldn't load
it was fixed by deleting the template which reset the default template. so back in business Smile
