I move around very much and as such at many instances I have to use my mobile to access my website.
I've done about 3 installations of Composr and in the most recent install I notice that the "editor" icons are missing on edit textareas when I'm on mobile (view). This wasn't so in my previous installs.
The web host for the install in question is different from the ones I'd been using before, so I don't know if this could be the issue. I've used Chrome and Firefox and the results are the same.
However, I have moved the site to the host I was using previously, after the installation.
I've attacked two screenshots - the first what a textarea looks like on my site (taken from the edit comcode page screen) and the second what the "add forum topic" textarea looks like here on conpo.sr (on mobile).
On my website Add forum topic - compo.sr

If your browser width is less than 500 pixels, this CSS in the default forms.css will hide the editor buttons:

Code

@media screen and (max-width:500px) {
   .post_options_wrap {
      display: none;
   }
}
I don't believe that's anything new, perhaps before you had a wider screen somehow.

You can change the CSS to un-hide it if you like. I don't think the vast majority of smartphone users are going to want to do Comcode editing, and it vastly complicates the UI, that's why it's like this by default.


Become a fan of Composr on Facebook or add me as a friend. Add me on on Mastodon. Follow me on Minds (where I am most active). Support me on Patreon

Was I helpful?
  • If not, please let us know how we can do better (please try and propose any bigger ideas in such a way that they are fundable and scalable).
  • If so, please let others know about Composr whenever you see the opportunity or support me on Patreon.
  • If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
  • If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.

I'm using a new phone, that must be it.
I'll try your suggestion.
Thanks.
