*Subject:*My I O S 1 Day Challenge, Part 1
So guys, maybe I am a bit of an extremest, however I have decided to
take a major challenge upon myself. So many people have said that I
O S is at a point where it could almost serve as a production based
computer setup for some people. I decided, techy as I am, to take
this challenge and see if that is really the case for my daily
lifestyle. Does it mean that I am going to use I O S exclusively
from this point forward, and never use a computer again? Hell! no!
All I'm saying is, I wanted to really truely give the mobile world a
fair chance, and really take it to the extreme.
Therefore, for the next 24 hours, I am trying to stay off my pc as
much as humanly possible. Obviously, if a customer of mine needs
something done that I find isn't working with I O S, then I'll hop on
my mac or my PC, and get it done, but even then, I won't do so unless
it winds up being a very very last resort. I really am open-minded
about wanting to try this and really see if I truely can manage with
only a mobile device, be it my IPhone, or my IPad to do this.
This said, here is the first challenge I've hit. I know that being
you all won't be able to see what I'm seeing first hand, it's going
to make things a bit difficult, but trust me when I say, this was a
nightmare!
I am running a droplet on Digital Ocean of UBuntu 14.04 64 bit,
Server. On here, I have followed the instructions posted by Nerd
Vittles and have installed Asterisk's Incredible PBX. Tonight, I
wanted to add an entry to my main company IVR. So, I grabbed my
IPad, and went to the FreePBX admin web interface. I have IPTables
installed locking it down to my IP address, so even if I was to give
you all the URL to go to, it wouldn't work for you guys. Just take
my word for this. The page loaded just fine, but first off, I saw
the link on this page to log into the ISynthany server, if I had one
configured, which I don't. I also saw the button to load the user
panel login screen. When I double tapped on this button however, I
was presented with a page telling me that Safari was unable to
connect. I know this is baloni, as both my windows PC, as well as
all 3 of my macs can connect with absolutely no problem to that page.
So, I backed myself out, back to the main FreePBX page, and proceeded
to look for the link/button to log into the admin panel. Try as I
may however, the link was nowhere to be found. I know where the link
should be on the page, but neither touch exploration nor flicking
would focus it. Now, to be fair, let me say this. I do not know if
the link was visibly there on the screen. If I had to guess based on
my touch exploration, I'd say it probably most likely wasn't, but
again, let's be totally fair. I cannot prove this one way or
another. I turned off, and back on Voiceover, which did entirely no
good. I also tried using my item chooser list, which yielded
nothing. Finally, at my whit's end, I turned my rotor to links, and
found nothing, buttons, and found nothing, and even form controls,
and found nothing.
I tried this both with, and without a bluetooth keyboard. So
needless to say, either the way that site is scripted/coded is just
very very! nonstandard, or Safari is just having a major fit with
this web admin interface.
Is this real common that you'll see web pages on the mobile side of
things not render well? I even went so far as to click the icon that
said show full site, but that had no effect accessibility wise. Is
there maybe another little trick I could try?
Yes, guilty as charged, I broke my challenge in this one case. I
didn't have a choice being this was business related, and urgently
had to be done. So, I just hopped on my mac and did it. That really
has sucked the fun out of me though, as man! I was so! looking
forward to that working, and me being able to be really impressed.
Unfortunately, not the case here.
Chris.
