We have been supporting the suggestions from bootstrap (http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/scaffolding.html#responsive). Our clients have been very happy with the results. Perhaps we should start convincing our clients to move away from 960px support and just support 1200px only for desktop/tablet, but the downside is that most of our clients are hospitals and internally the number of computers that only support 960px is astonishing (pretty much every hospital I've worked with has this problem). It's getting better, but it's a slow process. Too bad form configs in FarCry don't allow arrays or this wouldn't be an issue and we could add them as needed (and you wouldn't have to hard-code these in).
Regarding a split-button, that's exactly what I was thinking. I'm not sure I like it visually, but space is limited so it might be the best option if you added orientation support. Unless someone else can think of a better way to offer it (like ipadseek.com uses a rotate button. I like that idea). Here's a thought, in the config maybe add orientation values for both devices as optional fields. If the developer doesn't want to offer it, leave it blank (or use a show/hide disable checkbox in the config to disable it). At least it's a simple workaround and not everyone has to use it (and you can disable them by default in the offered skeleton/installer). But for those clients who absolutely need it (and I'm sure there are plenty of use-cases that we're not thinking of - I know I've seen many eCommerce solutions who use different orientation layouts) it will be natively supported as a webtop preview option. Also, I don't know about you, but I was planning to use these config values possibly in some conditional code in a webskin or two (not sure where yet, but it's nice to know I'll have these handy if needed for conditional logic). -- Jeff Coughlin On Oct 30, 2013, at 1:33 AM, Justin Carter <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Jeff!
