[RFC] Responsive layout

[hanakin]

What about creating a dynamic template variable something like this for handling some of the responsiveness of certain features that would no doubt require completely different code on mobile or tablets

<!-- ELSEIF RESPONSIVE_WIDTH:940 -->
<!-- INCLUDE large_header.html -->
<!-- ELSEIF RESPONSIVE_WIDTH:768 -->
<!-- INCLUDE base_header.html -->
<!-- ELSE -->
<!-- INCLUDE sm_header.html -->
<!-- ENDIF -->

leverage js through the php to get the width and do a compare prior to include.

This would reduce the amount of code needed to be rendered for mobile devices and tablets and still allow for traditional responsive design for the desktop and widescreens

What is the status of this RFC?
Will prosilver be responsive in 3.1?

From what I understand it's either a mobile theme or a responsive one but not both, right? Or this can be done but it's not advisable?

Its work in progress. Some other improvements needed to make responsive layout work have been merged.

Now that stuff required to make responsive design work has been merged, I've started working on responsive design for prosilver.
Pull request: https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb3/pull/1719

Its work in progress. So far only wrapper, menu, ucp/mcp navigation and forums/topic lists are done.

Some functions (links lists, breadcrumbs, tabs) use JavaScript to make layout cleaner. That JavaScript is not required, it is there only to enhance experience for js enabled browsers.

Please report any bugs you'll find.

@Arty - Very glad to hear it... Thanks

[aleha]

Indeed these are great news!

Arty, I undestand this is work in progress but if you go responsive with prosilver then you will most probably discontinue your mobile prosilver theme for 3.1?

[Arty]

Thanks. Please report any bugs. If you notice something looks like it was made responsive yet it doesn't behave correctly, it is most likely a bug.

While mobile style and responsive design aren't mutually exclusive, working on both is just a waste of time. So yep, mobile style will not be updated.

I've made these changes to test the style, Although I think that I have done something wrong because not shown fine in mobile style.
I leave a test user for which you want to see the results more thoroughly.

Looks like a bug. What's the URL of that test board?
