New Ning Mobile Interface: Now in Ning Labs

[Eric Suesz]

We've been working hard on a brand-new version of your Ning Network's mobile interface. We're happy to say that we're now at a point where we are ready to put this in the Ning Labs section of your dashboard. You can turn it on and off if you want to try it out from there.

We still have some more work to do on this, and we'll keep posting in the Ning Beta Group as we make regular updates. 

Want to provide feedback? 

Join us in the Ning Beta Group, where we will do our best to answer any questions you may have about the new mobile interface. 

What's this all about? 

If this is the first you've heard of this mobile improvement project, check out this discussion for a bit of the back story. It also covers a few FAQs that people have asked us over time.

I just found something very interesting with the new mobile version of my network.

On the menu, when you choose "My Page" then scroll to the bottom you can see the number of members that have liked your page.

This is a small detail but very useful. I remember posting about it last year.

Question is why can this little not be found on the desktop version of our networks?

Hi Keith,

Add this code into a new text box placed in the right hand column (in the shaded area in your features layout page editor. It looks like this:

<div id="google_translate_element"></div> <script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[ function googleTranslateElementInit() {   new google.translate.TranslateElement({     pageLanguage: 'en'   }, 'google_translate_element'); } // ]]></script> <script src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit" type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

// ]]></script> <p> </p>

Works well for me,

James

EDIT:

Placing in the shaded area makes it show on every page in right hand column.

has anyone added a network logo?  mine isn't stretching the image across the entire mobile title bar, it's shrinking it down to only cover about 30% of the bar.  anyone else have this issue or a resolution?  thanks!! 

[Phil McCluskey]

Hi Murray,

The mobile size will vary per device. See my response in this thread for some details.

[Murray]

[soaringeagle]

wasnt hard

[Alex 小正正]

  I just tried the mobile version, na dit works perfectly. But my website is a french website, (www.consivoir.com)  and i notice that all the tools are in english, i hope it w be possible to change the language later on.

 Thank you,  not bad

I wondered about this too, it seems some of the new headlines and words etc. in the new mobile version are in the language editor, but not all for some reason.

Dear Eric,

Congratulations for your new invention....

Looks great and a big step up on the previous version. I like the function that takes people to the last three posts on the discussion threads. Could we have that on the desktop version as well?

Main problem for me is that I use the permalinks a lot from the discussion threads to tweet about or reference elsewhere on the site. When I click a permalink on the mobile it just takes me to the generic thread rather than the specific post I targeted. 

Can you fix it?

Thanks very much.
