a minetest Forum and website for mobile phones

by jbb » Sun Jun 14, 2015 14:26

i often use my phone to write something on this Forum, But Its Not really easy. Mimetests websites arent designed fo Mobiles. I think minetest has got vesions for android, But no websites for Mobiles.
Do you think this have to be changed?

is phpBB able to make a Mobile Version?
here is a screenshot how minetest Forum looks on my phone.

Minetest runs better on Linux. So I'm using Linux.

I access the forums on my mobile regularly, I don't mind it. I prefer a desktop version like that to a limited mobile version.

We just need a better theme, more "responsive" (scales to screen sizes without loss of content).

if the Name of the member Who posted something would be shown above the Text and Not left of the Text it would need less space.

Maybe it could be created a "m.minetest.Net".

No, I don't want a m.minetest.net - that is a bad way of doing it. We need a responsive theme.

We should switch to a responsive theme, for both site and forum, I agree.

Mobile sites are an outdated way to do things, thanks to CSS media queries, which can be supported even on very old browsers with the help of polyfills.

Look at my or Calinou's website, they both use responsive themes. Exactly the same code, but fits the screen size.

Well, really the latest version of phpBB3 has an built in Mobile Template layout.
And I think this forum hasn't been updated to latest just yet.
I'm a Transgender no shame about it.
I prefer to be considered as a "Girl/Lady/Miss/Madam/Female" for now on.

ok, i agree. a website wich is automaticly sized for your display is the best way.
How can you create phpBB themes?

I did start briefly working on making the current theme for the forum in to a responsive design a couple of weeks ago. Since other people are clearly interested in it as well, I will try to get back to working on it. Will post some screenshots and such in the next couple of days for people to give feedback if you all would like.

+1 for responsive theme (it's a standard and must-have today)
