Is it possible to disable offline page completely (in the manifold for example)? about manifoldcordova HOT 6 CLOSED

Sure, what is the expected behavior if your offline, would you want them to get an error or are you having other content you pointing to?

from manifoldcordova.

The default cordova behaviour is to keep the page the same, and only show an error after a link is clicked (then it finds out that the internet connection is lost and then it ends/kills the application with this error).

I would like to keep the page the same (so no offline page or whatsever, maybe a small

<div>Offline</div> 

on the page) and when a user clicks a link that it shows an alert('No connection!') and stays on the same page. This is ideal. But the cordova default is already better for my application then the offline page.

I don't want to push, but do you think this would be possible? I have no experience with writing java , but it doesn't seem to hard (I'm looking at the Android code, as I'm only targetting Android anyway).

Just the option to disable it would be enough for me.

Hi @gabn88 let me talk to the guys who focus on android, we should be able to make an easy way to go back

+1 for this.

I'm having problems getting the offline page to work in ios (#59)

However, using cordova-network-information via the javascript api DOES work fine.. So I can use that to handle the device going off/on-line. BUT - I need to disable the manifold offline page in entirety to get this to work.

Thanks

I also had a case where I wanted to disable the offline feature and also get rid of the extra WebViews that are created for it. I created #68 as a draft about an option how it could be made optional.

@boyofgreen: I have a feeling that it is somewhat a "no-brainer" to allow optionally getting rid of the offline feature, but probably the biggest discussion point is should it be opt-in or opt-out. In my initial PR above, I changed the feature opt-in, because I feel that it is a ManifoldJS-specific thing that might come as a "surprise" for a regular Web developer unless explicitly turned on.

I am happy to amend my commit based on the discussion and feedback, but just wanted to throw it out there to get a feeling what others think about this.
