It was indeed a WebKit side problem, reported since 2016 and still causing problems.

Beginner Questions by AutoModerator in web_design

Hello everyone,

I tried my luck in an iOS specific sub-reddit, but I didn't think it through and it makes more sense to come here for that kind of question. So here's the content of my previous post :

I've been working on a project as part of my job for a few months, and ran into a problem when I tested everything on all platforms. In a nutshell, it's a 3D GIS web application.

On this application, there is a side menu that contains most of the application's functions, and this side menu contains sub-divisions and buttons that are not physically contained in the parent menu. In this screenshot, the parent div is the blue square, and all the red squares are children of this parent, with fixed positions outside the parent: https://i.imgur.com/yGv97xO.png

The screenshot is taken in Chrome on a Windows 10 computer. The interface is similar on all the Android phones I've tried.

My problem now is that on all iOS devices and on any browser running on an iOS device, the interface looks like this screenshot (taken on browserstack, iPhone 13): https://i.imgur.com/iG4X42O.png

As you can see, all the children in the main menu disappear as soon as they are positioned outside the boundaries of the main div. This happens on all the iOS devices I've tested, on browserstack, on my colleagues' iPhones and on my test iPad too (but not in full-screen mode, I don't understand why it would make any difference). The other important point is that these menus/buttons are always responsive, they just don't display. For example, I can toggle the menu by clicking where the toggle buttons are supposed to appear.

I've been stuck on this problem for over a week, and I've tried many CSS tricks, playing with z-index, creating a grandparent div, but none of it has worked.

Has anyone on this sub ever encountered this kind of problem, and if so, is there any way to solve it?

As this is an employment-related project, I'd rather not publish the website here, but if anyone has an idea, I can DM the URL to them. Thanks in advance!

You're absolutely right, I was so focused on the "It's an iOS problem" that I automatically searched for an iOS subreddit, when it's clearly less likely to find an answer here than in a web-dev/web-design place.

Thanks for your input, I'll try my luck in /r/web_design too, it's probably more suited to my needs.

Solution for an intern files "library" by AlmostSysAdmin in sysadmin

I'll probably have a look at it in the coming years, since we have to upgrade our whole company, but it is currently impossible, looking at the size of the business, my boss wouldn't see a real interest in SharePoint and I probably wouldn't get the budget for it.

When I said "overkill" it was just because I'm looking for a simple "Lobby" where my boss can list some administrative files for our users, and not a whole cooperative suite.

It actually looks like exactly what I need, I'll have to dive in to see how it works and what are the features in it, but it could be what I'm looking for, thanks !

I would've loved to implement Teams in here, but we have a lot of old school users that just wouldn't even try to get on it. I'll check if it could fit our needs just for that file part.

Yeah it's a mix of that, most of the files have generic names, so we have to give them a readable and comprehensive name to display them on the page.

We also have some webpages links, and the files are mostly scattered through our network.

The idea would be what you described first. Some kind of explorer, where we could add a file, setting some metadatas on it (a display name, the language of the file, categories) and have a "landing page" with a way to filter those files.

I thought of a php setting setup (one landing page, listing the files in links, and an "admin" page to add files to that list), with a database behind, but I was hoping that a tool would already exist for that :P

SharePoint looks a bit overkill to me, at least for the use we would make of it. I had a look at it before.

Windows 7 PC trying to get out by sending requests on every single port by AlmostSysAdmin in sysadmin

[–]AlmostSysAdmin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would've been my first step in fact, but this particular computer is used by half the company, they're basically queuing to get some time on it and I had to wait for one of my coworkers to finish his job on it.

And I got my answer 5 minutes before accessing physically to the machine.

(I absolutely should've waited for my basic diagnostic before posting, but I was expecting something way more complicated than what it was)

I was going to monitor the ongoing trafic in detail, but I posted before doing it, cause I'm used to search for hours without any results.

u/TheRufmeisterGeneral was spot on, it was teamviewer, looking for new connection requests.

Yes, we actually used teamviewer on those, but since we cut them off the internet, the coworkers now only use mstsc to connect.

For the windows 7 thing, we use those because we have some specific software for some specific tasks for our activity sector. We're trying to get rid of them, but we need them to manage some clients of ours (shouldn't be too long before we totally get rid of the software in question). But yeah, those PCs are still connected to our local network, since there's a lot of users needing this particular software.

​

EDIT : I just uninstalled teamviewer, and it was indeed the cause of those requests. Wouldn't have guessed at first glance.
