I tried mod_responsive by Brian Moon I think, and wasn't entirely pleased. Phorum on a phone from a server running mod_responsive shows a forum I can make bigger or smaller by spreading or contracting two fingers on the phone screen but it doesn't re-flow the text, so most of the page is off screen. I'm 69 years old with bad eyes after three eye surgeries. So I need it big if I want to read it, and I want it all inside the viewport too.
Another take:
make a mysqldump from server
load it into a phorum schema on localhost so you can hack at will
update phorum_settings where name is http_path so the codes will work on localhost (so the header looks at local css)
in templates/emerald
edit header.tpl so it also includes a local copy of bootstrap.min.css
write a perl script that does things like
($line = $_) =~ s/<table.*?>/<div class="container">/;
print $line, "\n";
...etc, so all instances of table become <div class="container">
so all <tr> become <div class="row")
all th and td elements become div class="col-sm-1 th"
Now make class th mean something in css.tpl
Now all *.tpl flies have th and td elements whose value is one column wide in the boostrap grid, defined by class="col-1"
which may not be what you want.
At this point you have to hand edit each *.tpl so some columns are wider, perhaps div class="col-sm-6"
Now you have a responsive template that really works.
I'm a few hours away from something hard-coded I will use on my own phorum......that works right on a phone.
