From other web-browsers (Safari/Chrome on Mac, IE on Windows) these work fine. It also works fine if I set the user agent to imitate an iPad from Safari on OSX. This stops me from getting to the Horde config from the iPad. I raised this on the Dev list and have been requested to debug as devs don't have access to iPads, this defect is raised to track the issue and possible patches I may come up with. Sun, 06 Jan 2013 03:48:21 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/11937#t75979 Bit of digging into what is different, seems there is an <a> tag missing (by design) from the 'Others' and 'Cog' icons as they don't implement an app which can be linked to directly. In the Elements browser under the horde-navipoint Div; <div horde-dropdown> <li> <div horde-point-center> <a horde-mainnavi> <----- missing for Others and Cog, definitely there for Notes and Mail and Calendar Tried to add an 'app' entry in Registry.php for Others, didn't seem to generate an <a> tag, more digging required, hints welcome ;) Also tried to remove a couple of menu items from the topbar by uncommenting them from registry.php to see whether this would help, i.e. one can only have so many menu items on an iPad - made no difference. Mon, 07 Jan 2013 01:28:42 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/11937#t75996 Further digging confirmed this; Modified horde/config/registry.php for the 'others' entry as follows; Changed 'status' to 'active' rather than 'heading' Added an 'others-menu' block which just pointed at 'nag' for testing The menu item is now accessible from the iPad, the drop-down works correctly and also selecting the item takes me to 'nag' as expected. So the 'heading' setting generates HTML which the iPad doesn't like, i.e. the missing <a> tag or an issue with the <span> tag. Not sure which. That probably takes it to the end of my web-dev skills - I'm not sure what the options are for changing the 'header' HTML generated whilst retaining the intent of it...

Sat, 12 Jan 2013 23:56:29 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/11937#t76124 I have confirmed that this behavior is also present when running the Google Chrome browser for IOS. The Other and Cog menu are not working so it's not specific just to mobile Safari (or Chrome uses something in IOS in common with mobile Safari) Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:19:20 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/11937#t77232 I added a dummy href to the Other menu entry like so <div class="horde-point-center"> <a class="horde-mainnavi" href=""> <span class="horde-point-arrow">&#9662;</span> Others </a> </div> And the menu Item is then accessible from Iphone/Ipad I unfortunately have no idea where the code to generate the html for the menu resides in horde. I simply copied the html from one of the horde pages and made the addition above to see if it would work. Maybe this will help one of the Devs work around the mobile safari weirdness. Or if someone can tell me where to start looking in the source for how to fix the rendering myself I'll try that as well. Thu, 14 Mar 2013 20:20:58 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/11937#t77236 As a short term work around I have created a custom menu item in the main menu. this will at least allow my ipad users to be able to use horde in dynamic mode and have access to their preferences. adding the url field to the preferences array causes the <a /> tag to be inserted via templates/tree/menu.html.php (I'm assuming) in any event this works for now. 'preferences' => array( 'name' => _("Preferences"), 'status' => 'heading', 'url' => 'https://yoursite.example.com', ), 'gp' => array( 'fileroot' => '/tmp', 'name' => _("Global Preferences"), 'status' => 'active', 'menu_parent' => 'preferences', 'url' => 'http://yoursite.example.com/services/prefs.php?app=horde', 'icon' => '' ) ... Thu, 14 Mar 2013 21:49:28 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/11937#t77237 On iOS Apple will only let you use the WebKit renderer (Safari) supplied with iOS - you can't supply your own. WebKit being the base of both Chrome and Safari I imagine it wasn't too hard for Google to release Chrome for iOS by wrappering the WebKit rendered supplied by Apple, however, the rendering engine for both Safari and Chrome is identical on iOS (only) :) > I have confirmed that this behavior is also present when running the > Google Chrome browser for IOS.
