Issue regarding custom application loading on mobile

vishakha · Sep '21

	$setup_info['myapp']['name']      = 'myapp';
	$setup_info['myapp']['title']     = 'myapp';
	$setup_info['myapp']['version']   = '0';
	$setup_info['myapp']['app_order'] = 8;
	$setup_info['myapp']['enable']    = 1;
    $setup_info['myapp']['index']    = 'myapp.uimyapp.index';

	/* some info's for about.php and apps.phpgroupware.org */
	$setup_info['myapp']['author']    = '';
	$setup_info['myapp']['license']   = 'GPL';
	$setup_info['myapp']['description'] = 'myapp Module.';
	$setup_info['myapp']['maintainer'] = array('name' => '', 'email' => '');

	/* The hooks this app includes, needed for hooks registration */
	$setup_info['myapp']['hooks'] = array(
		
	);

This is the setup.inc file. Should I add ajax=true in the index parameter here and also in the index.php file ?

That depends on you using eTemplate2 and your app does not mess up the other apps running.

Does the problem only happen with a mobile device, or also with a regular browser (which my show better logging)?

Ralf

No we are not using Etemplate. This problem is only on mobile device, on the browser the applications loads by default properly without any error every time we login.

RalfBecker · Sep '21

Try again with Chrome switching to a mobile profile. Maybe you get lucky and get a better error-message …

Does this make any sense ?

Is that a container installation, or how did you make it?

I’m asking because I fear the status app is missing, which is kinda impossible for a container installation.

Nope that function is in fw_desktop.js:

github.com

EGroupware/egroupware/blob/master/api/js/framework/fw_desktop.js#L523


		{
			var tab = this.tabsUi.getTab(_appname);
			// do not set tab's notification if it's the active tab
			if (tab && (this.activeApp.appName != _appname || _value == 0))
			{
				this.tabsUi.getTab(_appname).setNotification(_value);
			}
		},


		/**

		 * This method only used for status app when it tries to broadcast data to users

		 * avoiding throwing exceptions for users whom might have no status app access

		 *

		 * @param {type} _data

		 * @returns {undefined}

		 */
		execPushBroadcastAppStatus: function(_data)

		{
			if (app.status) app.status.mergeContent(_data, true);
		},

But the fw_mobile.js does not have that method:

github.com

EGroupware/egroupware/blob/master/pixelegg/js/fw_mobile.js#L314


			//As we can not calculate the delta value, add 30 px as delta
			this.$iFrame.css({width:_width+30,	height:_height+30});
		}
	});


	/**

	 * mobile framework object defenition

	 * here we can add framework methods and also override fw_base methods if it is neccessary

	 * @type @exp;fw_base@call;extend

	 */
	var fw_mobile = fw_base.extend({


		// List of applications available on mobile devices
		DEFAULT_MOBILE_APP : ['calendar','infolog','timesheet','resources','addressbook','projectmanager','tracker','mail','filemanager'],


		/**

		 * Mobile framework constructor

		 *

		 * @param {string} _sidemenuId sidebar menu div id

		 * @param {string} _tabsId tab area div id

		 * @param {string} _webserverUrl specifies the egroupware root url

That’s probably the problem. Not sure why it only stalls your app, and not any of ours …

@hadi.nategh Should that method (execPushBroadcastAppStatus) be moved from fw_desktop to fw_base, so it’s also available in fw_mobile?

@vishakha: you can try to define it in your pixelegg/js/fw_mobile.js sources to see if you app then starts working.

Hadi moved the method to the base-class:

This will be part of the maintenace planned for today or tomorrow.

It’s the archive installation and I have the status app installed

vishakha · Sep '21

I also tried to install your “Example” custom app from git and the same thing happens with that too

Maybe that will give you the reproducing scenario

By default mail application runs, only when you select your custom app and then logout, start a new session with the custom app, it stalls

RalfBecker · Sep '21

Not sure what you’re talking about: I wrote you that we found and fixed the problem.

Did you apply the patch and does it work for you?

Ralf

vishakha · Sep '21

Sorry, I applied the patch and it didn’t work. So just to give you a reproducing scenario, I tried the “Example” app on mobile

vishakha · Sep '21

Can you check in the example app which was created as a demo by you guys for custom application. I saw the same issue with that application.

hadi.nategh · Sep '21

Hi Vishakha,
I am not able to reproduce this issue on any app including the Example app. You mentioned that you’ve applied the patch on your instance already, now the question is, do you have minifying switch off on your instance from Admin=>site-configurations? Because only applying the patch at fw_base.js won’t help if your minified source is not update with my changes.
Please provide more information including JS console error.

Best regards,

Do I need to turn it on ?

Here’s the list of applications I have

Just sending this in case I’m missing something.

For the errors just getting this in console

JDlugi · Sep '21

Do I need to turn it on ?

Disable -> yes - for your patch testing purpose

vishakha · Sep '21

Okay, I did that, nothing changed

Even upgraded to the latest maintenance version, but no luck. Still stalls the application. Pretty sure something is missing since the “Example” app also behaves the same way, all other apps work fine. By default on mobile it shows mail application.

Any other default app settings or permissions to check for on mobile, because it only stalls the app when it’s the default app in the next session on mobile

vishakha · Sep '21

Maybe there’s difference because of archive or docker installation and that’s why you are not able to reproduce. After installing the Example app, it struck me that there must be something that is missing maybe in the config or something else that is stalling the application as it’s not just my own custom app.

By default when I open the app in a new private session, it opens the mail app, I was going through the settings to check what’s missing, but nothing is there.

Apart from this error “Promise rejection NotAllowed Error” there isn’t any error in the console.
Can you guide as to what steps need to be checked or possible fixes, using it on mobile is quite imperative to us

Thank you
