Discussion of PDA-mambot/plugin

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

I suggest to discuss prospects of further development of PDA-mambot/plugin.

I have following ideas:

  1. Definition of browser type with the aid of WURFL library (it will be released in forthcoming version 2.2).
  2. Support of three separate templates for wap, i-mode and wap2/xhtml mobile browsers.
  3. Redirect to a corresponding subdomain for mobile devices.
  4. Opportunity in template parameters to specify a logo and a slogan of a site.
  5. Opportunity to view the mobile version of a site through a virtual directory (i.e. through http://site.com/pda/; it is useful if creation of a subdomain is impossible for any reason).
  6. For Joomla!1.0 - additional postprocessing of generated pages. Probably, to add caching results of postprocessing.
  7. For Joomla!1.5 - to include in a template(s) the changed layout of standard components and modules (that basically is impossible in Joomla!1.0).
  8. A script for check of updates which can be started on the schedule (through cron, for example).
  9. Also it would be quite good to reduce in passing big images that they don’t exceed the size of the mobile screen. But I do not know yet how to make it.

I wait impatiently for your suggestions, comments, help in realization etc. (more…)
