Ambox notice.png The latest version of this mod uses the guidelines for TNG v12+ cust_text.php files. If you are using TNGv12+, and any cust_text.php file in this mod is marked with a Bad Target error, you need to update your cust_text.php files before you can install this mod. [Show instructions]

If you upgraded to TNGv12+, and did not update your cust_text.php files as instructed in the upgrade readme script, then you must use the TNG Mod Manager to update them. To do so:

  1. Go to Mod Manager, and select its "Recommended Updates" tab.
    (If the "Recommended Updates" tab is not visible, then go to the Mod Manager Options tab, select "Display Settings", and turn on the "Recommended Updates" tab.)
  2. Click the "Update" button in the "Recommended Updates" tab.
    Installed mods do not interfere with the update, and if you already have (or think you may have) run this update, it will not hurt for you to run it again.

Notes
If you use the Family Chart Mod, you will need the mobile version of that mod to change the icon tab into a text tab in TNG V10


Introduction

This mod provides enhancements to TNG when in mobile mode, such as

  • not adding the Site Name to the page title
to make it easier for Shortcut Saving
  • reducing the margins and padding
  • reducing the header bar height to half its size
  • moves the site title to the menu bar
  • adjusting the sprites and displacement made accordingly
  • reducing the Admin icons to half their size when in mobile mode
  • adjusting the getperson page left column to a smaller width
  • adjusting the left nav area for template 4 to a smaller width
  • display text for the tabs on the smart phones rather than icons

If you are using the Family Chart Mod, you also need to install the mobile enhancements for the Family Chart mod since it uses its own tab building function.

Note that the Mobile Site Enhancements - Family Chart will cause the Family Chart Mod to be marked partially installed because the icon tab on smart phones is changed to a text tab and has been withdrawn since it causes users to attempt a Clean up of the Family Chart Mod

Note that the some of the changes originally in this mod were moved to other mods during beta testing

With TNG V11, the following are now obsolete

Advantages

Before installing the Mobile Site Enhancements mod, the following items take up value real estate on smart phones:

  • - menu bar
  • - site title
  • - default person image

The tab icons are also very cryptic as icons only

After installing the Mobile Site Enhancements mod, the following items free up value real estate on smart phones:

  • - menu bar
  • - site title
  • - default person image

allowing more lines of data to be displayed

The tab as text can now be understood.


TNG version: ≥ 11.0.0

The Mobile Section in TNG V11 is now modified to offer choices for

  • where Site Name is displayed
    • In menu bar
    • Below menu bar
  • how the tabs are displayed
    • As a TNG pull down
    • As text only tabs (without icons)

Developer

This mod was developed by Ken Roy.

Conflicts and Issues

Both mods are actually install and show work correctly.
Caution: Do NOT attempt to Clean Up the Partial Install condition
In standard, the preview is obtained by tapping on the thumbnail. Tapping again removes the preview.
With your Mobile Site Enhancements installed, the preview appears, but it cannot be removed by tapping again.
Mod Conflict Note the install order requirements.

Mobile Site Enhancements also conflicts with the Public Access Control mod which also must be installed before installing the Mobile Site Enhancements, you may need to uninstall the Mobile Site Enhancements and install it after the Public Access Control mod
