Forumactif Edge - A Free Modern and Responsive Forum Theme

[Ange Tuteur]

First topic message reminder :

Hello everyone,

Since November 2015 I've been working on developing a new "forum version" for Forumotion forums that's modern and responsive. Today I've recently published the production release of this software and would like to share it with all of you who are looking for a more modern design that's also mobile-friendly.

Forumactif Edge features :

• Modern mobile-friendly design.
  
• Smart automated control panel that assists you with installation and other tasks.
  
• Dynamic theme selector so your members can browse in the color they prefer.
  
• Side panels for widgets and quick navigation so your forum has maximum space and accessibility.
  
• Automatic color coding of posts based on usergroup affiliation.
  
• Built in counter for reputation votes.
  
• and more...
  

Forumactif Edge will constantly evolve because it's open source and managed by the community. That means we'll take feedback, suggestions, and reports from the community -- that's right, your voice can shape the future of this project ! If you'd like to install Forumactif Edge on your Forumotion forum, please see the wiki link below which includes detailed instructions on how to install the theme along with additional information on Forumactif Edge that's constantly changing.

Got it thank you Ange Tuteur

[Van-Helsing]

Hello,
Thank you very much @Ange Tuteur.

[SLGray]

@Ange Tuteur did you see the update about the option to download your content?  I mean can you see the download button in your profile when using ForumactifEdge?

[Ange Tuteur]

@Ange Tuteur did you see the update about the option to download your content?  I mean can you see the download button in your profile when using ForumactifEdge?

You're referring to the data export option, correct ? If so, this was added in v1.2.9.

[SLGray]

Yes that is what I was referring.

Forumotion's last update broke this theme for mobile. It creates an infinite loop. For a quick patch (until official fix), remove disabling mobile from Templates -> Mobile Version -> overall_header:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">(function() {
    windowlocationhrefTEMPORARYDISABLE = _userdata.page_desktop
}());</script>

[Ange Tuteur]

Update v1.2.11

Forumactif Edge v1.2.11 is now available ! This patch resolves an issue with a script that disables the mobile version.

• Fixed endless redirections on the mobile version that was caused by a script that disables the mobile version. This script has been updated to reflect the changes made by Forumactif.
  

Release link: https://github.com/SethClydesdale/forumactif-edge/releases/tag/v1.2.11

Manual Update

In the event you cannot use the automatic updater, follow the steps below to manually install this patch.

Go to Admin Panel > Display > Templates > Mobile > overall_header

Find :

Code:

  <script type="text/javascript">(function() {
    window.location.href = _userdata.page_desktop
  }());</script>

Replace by :

Code:

  <script type="text/javascript">(function() {
    my_setcookie('_mobile_version', '0', true);
    window.location.reload();
  }());</script>

Save and publish the template to send the change online. If you're on mobile and are facing endless redirections, you may have to disable JavaScript on your mobile browser or access your forum via the Forumactif utilities (linked below).

If you want to retain the mobile version on Forumactif Edge, refer to the guide below.

Hello,
Thanks @Ange Tuteur

[Tonight]

Mobile design has a small issue with that new cookies and data notification:


I'd suggest maybe add a scrollbar or something (like navbar has)?

[Ange Tuteur]

@Tonight thanks for the report, I'll add it to my todo list for the next patch.

[YoshiGM]

Hello, if i want to to install the theme only in one color (Green for example), can this be possible ?

[Ange Tuteur]

Hi @YoshiGM,

Yes, it's possible. Once Forumactif Edge is installed, you can go directly to Theme Management in the FAE Control Panel to import any color theme that you want. You can also use the Colors section to change the theme color as well.

[Tonight]

Two additional bugs with mobile:


Jump to box is wider than forum and creates a lot of white space (you can see it if you move to right). Happens in sub-forums and topics.


Username and password input boxes are too wide. Happens in login page.

[YoshiGM]

Ok! I will consider install your theme coming soon
Thanks Ange
