Hi Shelan, Thanks for pushing this conversation. I think this could be a good project, and could be the feature that defines the 5.1 release (if I can ever get 5.0 out the door ;-) > According to the feedback i got from Dave there is a limitation on > roller's rendering for a mobile rendering by default.This idea is at an > abstract level so i am evaluating options so i can bundle mobile editing + > displaying together if possible. The problem, I believe, is that Roller does provide a way for a theme to detect that a request is coming from a mobile device and offer small format pages. There are probably a variety of ways to address this. One way, for example, would be to allow a theme to offer small format pages for the key theme "action" pages of Weblog, Entry, Day, Search Index and Tags Index. Roller's request mapper would detect that a theme comes from a small device and would call those pages instead of the built in pages. Another way would be to give themes a way to detect a mobile device and a way to forward to mobile theme pages. If a theme can detect that the request comes from a mobile device, it could use logic inside pages to change the appearance of the theme. I think I like the first idea better. What do others think? What's the best way to handle mobile themes? Maybe we should look at Wordpress and Drupal to see how they handle this. Either way, it would be nice to offer users a way to opt for the mobile or non-mobile theme. Sometimes users on mobile devices like to use the full-size theme.
