HELP! - Incorrect usage of Mobile Joomla. -

(i'm sorry for my english)
This is the message from a normal PC:
Incorrect usage of Mobile Joomla.

From mobile device is ok

my site: www.globekites.it

Hi,

Looks ok from Vienna... Using Firefox 3.6.16 on Mac OS 10.5.8

Thank Digiguy1 but look ok because I redirect to the directory of the /shop (prestashop), normal stil don't work

No body can help me? It's ok thet it's gratis but for me was better to pay some euro that have problem and not solution.
I try to unistall

I hope you didn't try to uninstall. I tried that and my backend is not even working now, and my site is totally down after I unistalled, faulting on "too many redirects to load". Obviously not totally uninstalled, but no files are there relating to the install. Some menus items in the backend are showing the db variable name, not the actual name..... in random plugins and the system menu.
I I got this "Incorrect usage of Mobile screen on the www.xxxxxxx.com site when I viewed the site in firefox 3.6.16 GTB7.1(latest)/mac OS 10.5.8 (up to date) www.xxxxxxxxx.com then tried to view xxxxxxxxxx.com as that is where the mobile site was showing up, then went forward to the www.xxxxxxx.com page I had just been on.
I had adjusted the com mobile Jooomla settings to redirect to multi-site, and on iphone only set it to http:// xxxxxxxxxx.com as that seamed to work fine. Was trying to trouble shoot why it operated like that, when it seamed fine before on iPhone, but then I noticed the mobile site from iPhone 4(up to date) was only showing up at http:// xxxxxxxxxx.com not www.xxxxxxxxxx.com and the "Standard Version" link was broken (404) or some other error depending on the setting (Markup issue, I got that much...) It had been working earlier in the day, but was not giving consistent results if I changed settings and changed them back. (cache off since start, do not use on site at all) Yes deleted all Firefox cookies site related to the site, other normal things one should do.

Ciao Pappo,
I went to the link www.globekites.it and see the 2 pictures with links to forum and to shop(both working). and a link to Facebook. Is that what should be there?

I may have the answer for you.
Here is what I did.
1. Uninstall totally this plugin. Verify everywhere it is gone. Site will likely still be a mess.
b. Delete all site cookies, clear cache, purge expired, etc.
2. Check /administrator/language/ (your language) to make sure it is still there. Mine got deleted totally.
If deleted, you have to find the installs for all your plugins and see if there is any language files they load into that folder. Use your install version of Joomla to find that folder and upload it to the same folder with the same structure.
3. Install Mobile Joomla again. Do not adjust anything yet. Watch for errors of SQL.. If this happens, I can give you an SQL file to inject manually.
4. Now the odd part.... go to administration area -> Extensions Menu -> Template manager
a. Look at the template list, and you will see 4 with check marks. Go in to each and assign to a separate menu range...
a1.To do that you have to create a separate menu for each first. (Use menu Manager using the main menu of your site, copy, and customize from there for each device. Make 4. Name as mainwap, mainiphone, mainimode, mainpda works... , this makes it easy to keep it straight what they are. But... make sure you rename each alias ie. home to home-iphone. Forgot that on some menu items, and it really made a mess, as then it would give that "illegal use..." message again, and I would have to track down each wrong menu link alias.
The make sure link them up in the correct main modules for each of the types of mobiles (imode, iphone, wap, pda)
Any errors now generated is likely a menu link alias issue. or some menu being assigned to the main menu, when it can only be assigned to the respective mobile mode.
NOTE: You can test that the PC can view first by just assigning each to only one DIFFERENT menu item.
I opened the template, clicked on one menu item, then clicked save. Have read that some people have had problems with save in these files. When done, you should see 4 checkmarks in the template manager window. If it is less, I think it means some are assigned to the same menus. A small attempt at avoiding this issue.



Hope that works.... If it does, you owe me a Limoncello next time I am in Italy
