Plugin seems not working

Can you please share your website URL? So that I can take a look into the same and update you with more details.

Hi @josevarghese , thank you for your reply

I noticed a few of things:

1. The “short name” should be able to store 12 characters, but I need to use accents (café), and checking the manifest, the “é” with accent is stored as “Caf\u00e9”, increasing the number of characters. (I checked another PWA pluging and it didn’t happen with it, as it stored “café” as “café”).

2. I tryed different settings for the images in SuperPWA, I upload an 192×192 png image as icon, and a 512×512 png image as splash. But the final PWA is using the same image as icon and as image). To try solve this I upload both of the images (different images) in 512×512 sizes, but again, in both places is the same image (the splash image).

The issue 1 was solved by changin the “é” by a “e”, which is incorrect in my ntive language.

The issue 2 is unsolved.

Please, could you drive me in how to solve both issues?

Thank you so much

Hello @wilmart

First of all thanks for pointing this out, which I am aware of it from the last year. It’s causing within SuperPWA, as we used substr() to make the Short Name limited to 12 characters as per the Guidelines of W3C. I still remember at that time some users add more than 12 characters over the short name, which causes some warning over the lighthouse tests. Already a solution is available over the GitHub repo.

But some PHP servers are not supporting mbstring by default and it may cause to raise more support threads. Of course, this can be resolved by adding support for MB string functions over php.ini but still, some users won’t be accessible to the respective file. If your Application Name is not exceeding the limit of characters restricted by the browsers, the first priority will be for the Application Name than the short name.

Regarding the second one, when I looked at the manifest file I noticed that both Application Image and Splash screen are now of size 512*512px. Can you please change the Application Icon to 192*192px and do let me know so that I can look more into the same at the earliest.

Looking forward.

Stay healthy, stay safe!

Hi @josevarghese

1. As for the “é” issue, I will try the mb_substr() solution in next days

2. As the image size issue, I’ve updated the PWA Settings (by the way, I had to disable the W3 Total Cache plugin in order to get the manifest updated). I used this settings to make it clear:
– Icon: file “IconRedPWA192x192.png” (red)
– Splash Image: file “IconGreenPWA512x512.png” (green)

So, the icon must be red and the splash green. Please, can you take a look to it in the manifest? I still looking only the green in both places once “installed”

Also… I noticed something, I used PWABuilder service, and that service is also recognizing the green (which is the splash 512×512) as app icon.
I am guessing that the issue is created by the “purpose”:”any maskable”, and it should be only in the icon image and not in the splash image…. what do you think?

Regards!

Hi,

Good day to you. I again looked into the website and noticed another issue. The image which you have used for splash screen is of size 293*293px can you please make it 512*512px? It will show an error when testing using Lighthouse.

Regarding loading of splash screen at the place of the icon, I hope to fix this over the next release.

Stay Tuned!

Hello @wilmart

Good day to you. The bug fix version is now available to download. Can you please update to latest version and try it out again.

Don’t forget to uninstall the already added PWA from the homescreen and clear the browsing cache before testing it again.

Looking forward.
