[SOLVED] Image upload not working for mobile

[SOLVED] Image upload not working for mobile was created by aaron@servicefly.com
I have a problem:
The avatar image upload doesn't work on mobile website when registering from an iPhone or Android phone.

servicefly.com

My templates are setup for mobile. I believe it is a value missing from the field.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Your CB install appears to have core edits in place. The image field is displaying raw with no drop-down select to choose upload choice or not, but yet the field is not required (being required at registration removes drop-down and shows input as you have). I recommend using Firebug for Firefox and reviewing the Net tab when registering or uploading an image to see if the post is successful. Are image uploads failing also in standard browsers? I've no way to test/debug mobile sites, sorry.

Image uploads work fine in all but mobile browsers. To be more specific; it is the select file button which doesn't work.

I'm actually thinking I need to build a field specifically for mobile uploading, but not sure. I am hoping it could be a simple edit in CB.

Through research, just found out that the Android & iPhone OS's are responsible. Each require special javascript tags to allow opening photo gallery on phones. I found the right code, but have no idea how to build an image upload field in CB for it to work.

After further testing, I got it to work. There was a non-WAP element in the meta tags confusing the browser. My mistake, all works fine.

Oops, should have been more clear:

Doctype is critical. Here is the typical Doctype:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" " www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd ">


Replace it with the following code; here's what works best for me:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" " www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd ">


Here are 2 other choices:

1-

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.1//EN" " www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/DTD/xhtml-mobile11.dtd ">


2- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.2//EN"
"

<a href=" www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/DTD/xhtml-mobile12.dtd "" rel="nofollow"> www.openmobilealliance.org/tec ...>


Hope that helps.
