vF mobile - Posted By Aiken (ionfortuna) on 16th Jan 10 at 5:27am
There is a great need for a mobile version, alot of people browse the web on cellphones and on other mobile devices like a PSP

Either same url for mobile, just check if the person is browsing from mobile or not OR a mobile url

A mobile browser version is something that I also think would be a good idea, but the implementation may not keep everyone happy. Having a template option for it could cause people to abuse it by adding large images & such anyway, so personally I think it would be best if it were one standard layout for all mobile versions, perhaps allowing a small banner image at the top of the page.

I agree with that, speed is priority for mobile.

The main thing for me would be codes, alot don't work in mobile or just won't work right

Which is why I think what Marc said would be best, a standardised site layout for mobiles. {Smile}

There is no reason for codes in a mobile version. As most codes do not work. which is why sites like MySpace doesn't show the real profile of a friend or yours as the codes will not work correctly on most mobile devices.

Some mobile devices do not support JavaScript, or other Major languages.

For that reason, if anything along these lines was done there would have to be very little control for forum admins over how it looks / behaves - the main customization would have to be with the colours, most other stuff would be set globally with maybe some access for small layout modifications {Unsure}

I agree completely

So would vF Mobile be made any time soon and how would it be displayed?

Url? Browser detection?
