I've disabled the current mobile plugin. There is no longer a mobile theme for 
our wiki. We should look into Tony's other suggestions. I'm not sure who 
currently manages the licenses, perhaps that's done by Avtar.

Thanks
Justin

Hi, All:

I didn't see any obvious fixes in the versions between what we're running and 
5.6 (the newest), but it may be worth upgrading longer term.  Shorter term, we 
should disable the plugin.

As an alternative, there is another mobile plugin which is available free for 
holders of open source licenses:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.refinedwiki.confluence.plugins.mobile

Whomever is our technical contact for our current license should be able to get 
them to issue a license for the plugin with very little effort.

Even if we don't use their mobile plugin, it's worth getting in touch with the 
vendor, they are one of the big players in theming Confluence.  Theme plugin 
developers are well placed to provide assistive solutions for Confluence, 
especially those who are active in markets where accessibility is a 
requirement.  I have heard that clients in Germany are staring to pay good 
money to contractors to ensure that their Confluence instances meet 
accessibility requirements on a case by case basis. A general solution would be 
a big selling point.   Ideally there would be multiple vendors to drive the 
prices down and quality up, which is why I have been pushing the ideas with 
every theme vendor I know.  There are some who are not making deep enough 
changes to the Confluence UI to help, but others who are very close to 
releasing a general solution.

As an example, Communardo (a German Atlassian partner) is planning to release a 
plugin that adds themes that meet at least the accessibility requirements of 
their local customers in Germany (I suspect they would be meeting EU 
requirements, but that's one of the questions I want to ask them).  They would 
like to demonstrate their work in progress on the 23rd during the European 
afternoon.  Let me know if you're interested in attending and giving them 
feedback.

Anyway, setting aside the longer discussion about Confluence accessibility, I 
am happy to help with the current problem in any way I can: disabling the 
plugin, documenting the problem, contacting support, installing alternate 
solutions.   If I can get access to the logs, I can do a lot to at least 
document the problem as a bug report or support request.  Whomever is 
administering our instance, please feel free to get in touch.

Cheers,


Tony

Hi, All:

This is a plugin that is bundled with newer versions of Confluence (5.1 and 
higher).  We are a bit out of date, I suspect that newer versions are tested 
with a wider range of mobile browsers.  Will do a quick bit of searching to 
confirm.

For now, I understand that upgrading is a longer term process, and that we need 
an immediate solution.  The plugin can be trivially disabled by an admin (just 
search for mobile in the "add ons" control panel).  Happy to assist if it's not 
clear to whomever is working on this.

Cheers,


Tony

I think it’s the mobile plugin.  When you search for the wiki on say, mobile 
safari, the top hit is the wiki with a path of /plugins/mobile/servlet/ 
something something something. If you manually type in the wiki url so that 
mobile plugin version doesn’t get moved to the top of the hits the regular page 
works fine.

Maybe we can uninstall or upgrade whatever plugin that is.
