Title: Elxis Nautilus with android tablet
Post by: armpouniotis on February 06, 2013, 15:21:48

Hi All !

I was trying to log in to the admin zone in Elxis Nautilus using my android tablet, but unfortunately I got Elxis error page :D

Is there any solution to that ?

Thank you in advance

If your site is online and you see it on front-end by your tablet, then you should see and the admin zone.

I also tested it on Apple iPad, and I get the same message...

What this error page says? Any message or error code?

Note: The administration area has been designed only for desktop browsers.

I guess you got that message from the tablet, not Elxis, because Elxis does display any "can't access" messages.
If the message is from elxis (an error screen for example) type the exact error message.

I checked yesterday the administration area with my andoid tablet and works perfect. The navigation is easy, grids are easy tomanage with touches, buttons are also easy to touch without having to use zoom. I dont see any problem...

The following user agents/browsers/OSs are considered by Elxis "mobile devices":

BlackBerry
Windows CE
Pocket Internet Explorer
Opera Mini
Nokia Browser
Nokia S60 OSS Browser
iPhone
iPad
iPod
Android

As you see the default "Android" browser is between these. But if you use Aurora (recommended) or firefox for android it doesn't get marked as mobile device.

By default Elxis denies access to mobile devices in the administration console as it hasn't been built for such devices (although it works good).
You can overcome this restriction in several ways.

1. Mark ipad as non mobile device.
open file includes/libraries/elxis/helpers/browser.helper.php
Go to line 594 and change this:
$this->is_mobile = true;
into this:
$this->is_mobile = false;

2. Enable access to the administration area to all mobile devices
open file includes/libraries/elxis/exit.class.php
change lines 465-467 from this:
      if ($ismobile) {
         $page->message = $eLang->get('SORRY_ADMIN_NO_MOBILE');
      } else if ($message == 1) {
To this:
      //if ($ismobile) {
      //   $page->message = $eLang->get('SORRY_ADMIN_NO_MOBILE');
      if ($message == 1) {

Also change line 513 from this:
include(ELXIS_PATH.'/templates/'.$tpl.'/alogin.mobile.php');
to this:
include(ELXIS_PATH.'/templates/'.$tpl.'/alogin.php');
