It has been a while since I build YAF from the source (about 4 weeks ago or so).

Now, I know that the YAF developers don't keep a roadmap and thats ok, no problem.

But since I only have the express version, I have troubles building the YAF. I have to change projects etc to be able to actualy build it.

Due to this hassle, I would like to ask the developpers when the RC2 is about to be released (complete build checked in in sourceforge).

If that would be in a month or so, I will build it this weekend and put it on the test site. But if you think it will be in about two weeks, I will wait (not worth the trouble of editing the projects and so on. Takes about 1 hour)

I am very curious about the next two features:

- email notification on new posts (not working in RC1)

- mobile theme

Please let me know what the forecast is. Thanks in advance.

I would say two weeks is not an impossibility; but like all things it depends on how much the day job interferes which is why we shy away from hard and fast roadmaps with dates.

The best way to keep an eye out on how we are doing is to visit the BugTracker part of this site.

Don't shoot me if I'm wrong though :p

I thought that sourceforge was still used for the binary files?

But I already get the source from the new site for a while.

I won't shoot you! ;-)

The reason why I respond so late is due to the fact, that I couldn't respond earlier due to an exception if I tried to post a message here. But today I can...weird.

That is the reason why I haven't used the new binaries yet. But now I see that fixes are submitted to the repository and...yeah, it is a moving target LOL (is a very very good thing!)

So, I will build it this weekend myself (with the new source) and will ask our testers to test the forum.

Also, should the mobile theme on this site (so, this forum) work? Because when I access this forum with my Android device, I don't see a mobile theme, but the normal standard theme.

And for me to get it to work on my site, do I need to put something in app_browsers for that?

got it running on my site.

But how should the mobile theme work? Automatically detect and how?

By the way, I love the feature to change the time in 'time ago' instead of the UTC for guests. Great!

tha_watcha, does this mean that if user 'A' sets the theme to lets say 'BlueGrey' using his PC (so using a browser on his PC), that when he access the forum using his mobile, the theme will also be 'BlueGrey'?

And if so, is this the desired way to go?

I would suggest that the mobile theme should work independently from the user setting. Unlesss....unless, there will be a seperate setting for the user to set the theme when he accesses the forum with its mobile.

Like, now, I have set the theme in my profile to a 'normal' theme. But when I access the forum using my mobile, I expect it to switch to a mobile theme. But it doesn't.

No the user will see the Mobile Theme, if the Setting is enabled which is By Default Enabled.

Ah, thanks.

In that case, I have a problem on my side, because when I access the forum with my mobile, I don't get the mobile theme. (Android using safari)

Setting it manually, I see I have another 'problem'. I have the forum running in a masterpage. This masterpage has a fixed with (defined stylesheet) and fixed image header (image above forum defined in stylesheet).

So, also if the mobile theme would work for me, I have to tacke that problem first.

It looks like I need to determine if the website is accessed by a mobile device and use other stylesheet. But how?

Did you use the latest source code?

I tested it with Android Default Browser and it worked

You can use 2 css files

you can also define a special one for the iphone

I did use the most recent version (at that time 😉.

I did a SVN update Saterday morning (nov 6)

But on the Android 2.1 and 1.6 it wasn't working.

media="handheld"?

Thats it? I didn't know there was a special tag for that. Great news! I will work on that.

Thanks

edit:

by the way. Accessing this forum with my mobile, it also doesn't show the mobile theme. (to be sure I tested it right now).
