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Chart Mod to be marked partially installed because the icon tab on smart phones is changed to a text tab and has been withdrawn since it causes users to attempt a Clean up of the Family Chart Mod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
- Mobile Site No Previews suppresses the Person and Family previews on smart phones
- Mobile Site No Slideshow suppress the Slide Show on smart phones
- Mobile Media that adjusts the image display when not using the Image Viewer and the Image previews for smart phones and tablets
- Mobile Individual Page Map that adjusts the Google Map display on the Individual Page
With TNG V11, the following are now obsolete
- the new version of the Family Chart Mod in TNG V10
- Mobile Site Fix Anniversaries - obsolete with TNG 10.1.2
- Mobile Site No Previews - obsolete with TNG 10.1.2
- Mobile Site No Slideshow - obsolete with TNG 10.1.2
- Mobile Media - obsolete with TNG 10.1.2
- Responsive Tables series of mods - obsolete with TNG 11
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
- Conflicts with Add DNA Test Results mod
- If you install the Add DNA Test Results mod you must install the Mobile Site Enhancements first
- After you install the Add DNA Test Results mod, the Mobile Site Enhancements will show a Bad Target at line 383 in Mod Manager
- Both mods are actually install and show work correctly.
- Caution: Do NOT attempt to Clean Up the Partial Install condition
- Conflicts with Media Preview Fixed mod
- 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.
