Answered Responsive manager template?

Since the default Revo manager template is very wonky when opened on a mobile device, Is there any responsive template available for the backend/manager?

I've found This one, cant seem to make it work. Last commit is 3 month ago is this still alive? Also, some help installing it would be apreciated if it does worked.

cheers

I've tried handyman, but it seems I have to provide 2 links for each (one to access the desktop Manager and one for handyman). Or am I aproaching this the wrong way?

Exactly: Handyman operates as an alternate manager, so it has its own URL.

In that case would it be possible to use Mobile Template Switcher on the manager?

No, the Mobile Template Switcher plugin (or others like it) reacts to requests made on the front-end -- there are some system events that are fired when manager pages are loaded, but as far as I know, none of the plugins for dynamically altering output are geared towards doing that in the manager. And even if they did, there is a fatal lack of certain methods. There needs to be methods available to remove CSS and JS from the queue (see http://rtfm.modx.com/revolution/2.x/developing-in-modx/basic-development/snippets/adding-css-and-js-to-your-pages-through-snippets).

The bug/feature that needs to be addressed is this one: https://github.com/modxcms/revolution/issues/10101

Until that gets fixed, the MODX manager is stuck. (grumble).

Thanks for your answers

I guess I have to do it manualy then, with a simple html bumper page
access URL > html bumper (select desktop/mobile manager) > forward selection to normal manager/handyman

If I were you, I would change the "normal" MODX manager to use a non-standard URL, e.g. /manager-full/, and then install handyman to the default modx manager location @ /manager/
