(at least for the moment since some of the browsers does not provide full functionalities of html5.) In wordpress there are plugins which assist the task such as mobipress[1].In Joomla most of the template providers target IPhone and Ipod and offer a feature to admin so template render accordingly. Another thing i have seen on some mobile browsers is ,we can give the browser agent mode (Desktop / Mobile).So when mobile user agent is enabled at the browser option level it first check whether there is a mobile version available for the requested site.If so it will pick that. In roller there is a way to add templates.What would be the possible changes to the way it was done before.I feel that there is a requirement of a separate rendering module for this.But i will more in the code and try to understand how it behaves etc. Thanks [1] http://mobilepress.co.za/ > > Thanks, > - Dave > > > > > In the mobile editing interface using html5 would be create , edit drafts > > and posts would be implemented and would be designed for convenient > > experience.I have some understanding that it should be optimized for user > > interactions with touch input. > > > > HTML has capabilities such as, > > > > Client side database , Application cache, Geo Location etc, Most of the > > features leverage its capability of offline features which could > > be beneficial vastly in Roller like blogger applications where users tend > to > > read , edit content. > > > > I would like to get some help , feedbacks and suggestions from the > community > > to nourish the idea and make it more useful for roller. > > > > Thank you > > > > -- > > Shelan Perera > > > > Home: http://www.shelan.org > > Blog : http://www.shelanlk.com > > Twitter: shelan > > skype :shelan.perera > > gtalk :shelanrc > > > > I am the master of my fate: > > I am the captain of my soul. > > *invictus* > > > -- Shelan Perera Home: http://www.shelan.org Blog : http://www.shelanlk.com Twitter: shelan skype :shelan.perera gtalk :shelanrc I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. *invictus*
