Ok, thought for sure I mentioned this a few times, but here is a temporary fix to view the whole dashboard, etc using a mobile device.
On your browser, up to the right of the URL address bar, look for three dots. Click those then tap on and checkmark DESKTOP SITE. This will then reload the browser to mimic our website exactly as shown on a desktop.
I know alot of folks try to give me simple fixes and how to make the website responsive, etc but it isn’t as simple as it appears. Why? Well, first off, you will notice the Live Stream video box and the snowman image DOES change size according to your device size. That’s great. So does the text, blog, ads, and images. BUT, the biggest problem I have been running into for two years is the dashboard and dynamic tables such as distances, speedometer, altimeter, all get their information fed to them from php files – not static images like they appear to be. Basically, the truck phone sends GPS info to our website servers. There, Marco configured the scripting so that the information can be changed into the speed, gps location for the map, distances between customers, protection data to open and close snowman’s eyes automatically, altimeter, etc. This information changes every 30 seconds or so and the website dashboard is populated with new and current info. All this data is assembled in the php files and displayed using iframes. EVEN though I have tried every iframe resizer, etc nothing seems to work with OUR special scripting. Yes, things work great for everything else, just not the big dashboard, and green highway sign.
Using the above fix is about the only thing I know to do until I finally come across more information on how to make the rest of the website responsive. Yes, we could make a basic, bland website without any dynamic real time information coming from he truck, but I do not want that, and I’m sure you don’t either. Having this dynamic information fed to our website is also responsible for our site being slower than most, but it is also what sets us apart. I feel I handled and solved the speed issue earlier this year. Hang in there, maybe one day I will get to learn more and make things happen the way that suits every device size known to man. Oh, and every browser. And make of phone. And color. And well, you see the problem now? It’s impossible to do what we are currently doing and make it perfect across all of the different ways to view the internet…….
