The plugin only replace the select list triggered by Suffusion at certain resolution, selected at Suffusion Options -> Layouts -> Responsive Layouts.
The list is not triggered by the device type, is not tested an user agent, only the resolution of screen. Try to change the trigger from 480px to other to see if the menu appear.
Also, try to disable the plugin to see if the native select list appear. If yes, 2 reasons can influence my plugin:
– either on Blackberry not all js works – and then the plugin is not compatible;
– either the button is there, but hidden behind other elements and probably with some CSS can be revealed.
But I cannot test the behavior on each device – in fact I did all my tests in Chrome emulators.
I couldn’t get the native select list to appear on my Blackberry Bold. When I changed the trigger to a smaller screen, the regular menus appeared and when the trigger was larger, no menu or button was visible.
Using some simulators for other BB models, your button was visible for some and not others. The smaller screen of the Curve or Bold seemed to have a problem while the Z10 was fine.
I think you may be onto something with the button being hidden behind some elements.
I found a reference to a person having problems with their menu on a BB Bold because the menu using negative margins which don’t comply with blackberry’s. How to go about figuring out the correct margins and proper settings, however, is far beyond my abilities.
The button can be hidden by color, not only below other element. If you’ve changed the color of button to white and the background of an adjacent element (like wrapper) is also white, maybe the button is moved down over the wrapper and is not visible anymore.
But if you can’t get the native select list to be showed, then is not a problem with my plugin. As I said, the plugin only transform that native list. If the list not appear (i.e. the .tinynav element is not triggered) my plugin have nothing to transform.
Why the native list is not triggered, I don’t know… Can try to comment all Custom Styles section to see if some of your CSS don’t block the menus. If the menu appear then uncomment each definition, one-by-one, saving and looking when the menu is blocked again.
Thanks for sticking with me Drake. I discovered my Blackberry is cache sensitive, so the results I was getting early were not accurate.
Make sure to clear cache after each change, I was able to determine the native select menu does appear when the plugin is deactivated.
– Commenting out all the CSS code had no effect.
– Changing the colour of the button to hot pink did not show up anywhere I could see it scrolling down the page.
– Deactivating all other plugins had no effect
I cannot test on a real device. In Chrome, emulating all included Blackberry devices (Z10, Z30 and Playbook), I can see the icon on your url posted on Suffusion forum.
Can you visit my site (the link is in my signature from aquoid forum) to check if you see the icon? If the icon is visible on my site and the menu is working, then it is still something on your end.
If the icon not appear also on my site, then probably on this particular device the javascript which replace the list is not working and all you can is to disable my plugin and let the native select list to take effect.
Sorry about making you go to the Suffusion forum. I just noticed I obviously pasted the wrong link to my website. Ugghhh.
I tested your website and don’t see the button. I guess that confirms js is not working on my device. I will leave the plugin activated because there are far more users who will be able to see it.
Next time I’m near some phones I’m going to check out the Blackberrys to see if newer models display the button.
Thanks Drake for helping to figure this out.
Not sure if this makes a difference or not. I tried three other responsive menu plugins: WP Responsive Menu, Responsive Menu, Responsive Select Menu.
I was able to see all three menus on my Blackberry, but can’t use them because they don’t pick up my menu items at all, or pick up all the menu items with no way to exclude my hidden pages.
Do you know if these three menu plugins use js and would indicate js is working on my site or do they use different technology?
