XF 2.3 Install app tutorial video

[Kadim]

On my forum site, the tutorial video in the ‘install app’ button is not playing. What could be the reason for this?

Are you using any CP add-ons?
Close your site then temporary put this in your /src/config.php and see if you have the same issue. If not then it is an addon.

$config['enableListeners'] = false;

Thank you for trying to help, but unfortunately this method did not work.

install app

is the video file on your site ?
I'm reading these documents.

The video is called add_to_home.mp4

The default video is located at \styles\default\xenforo\add_to_home.mp4 .

But you upload your own and change the URL at style-properties/group&group=basic#sp-publicPwaInstallVideoUrl .

You may try installing this option if you can't get it to work.

It does depend on which version of xenforo you use.

The "video" in XF 2.2.13 is a hard-coded GIF (styles/default/xenforo/add_to_home.gif). If it's not displaying on your site, it might be due to a customization issue. Additionally, it should only display on iOS as the install process works differently on other platforms.

In XF 2.2.14, this will be changed to a proper video which can be customized via a style property. This change has been deployed here already.

some good posts here ... like you can change the PWA install video URL

XF 2.2 Thread 'iOS pwa installation flow'

May 19, 2023

I don't have an iOS device, but I would like to give instructions to my users on how to set it up.

Could someone kindly provide some screen shots of what the flow looks like?

After they install to the desktop, will the "enable push notifications" banner show up at the bottom? Or do they need to go into the user control panel to hit the enable button?

Cheers!

The videos I uploaded directly to messages are not working. I just noticed this. Videos from YouTube and similar platforms work, but the ones I uploaded directly do not.
