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



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Chart Mod to be marked partially installed because the icon tab on smart phones is changed to a text tab and has been withdrawn since it causes users to attempt a Clean up of the Family Chart Mod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

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.

Developer

This mod was developed by Ken Roy.
