tkeats Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Has anyone customized their osC to be streamlined for cell phone browsers? I'd love to setup a special version of mine for this specifically.. and was wondering if anyone can suggest a contrib or whatever to this end... In my mind it would be mobile_osC working out of a different directory with the same database..? or is that too screwed up?

photofxplus Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 The thing to do - I believe is address the style sheet. You can run a simple javascript that checks the user screen size then proportions the page accordingly. Check out this page: http://www.colly.com/comments/redesign-not...h-based-layout/ Lloyd
tkeats Posted February 23, 2008 Author Posted February 23, 2008 dont think thats exactly what I was looking for..., so I assume no one has tackled this for mobile phone browsers... I have the feeling osC would have to be modified to be easier to browse on teh cell phone...

I am marketing mobile video on demand files & this mobile interface component is of strong interest to me. Regards, Luc Wylder
♥Vger Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Mobile sites are set up with two types of files: 1. WML - to support older mobile phones with limited abilities. 2. XML files - for newer mobiles osCommerce is not XML - so you haven't got a hope! Vger
kayakbabe Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 osCommerce is not XML - so you haven't got a hope! Vger Au Contrar Vger... there is a hope.. it just means it's gonna take a LOT of work. But.. it's not impossible!
ozEworks Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 I agree of course there is a hope. You just have to build a new front end for mobile devices which is what every store that wants a mobile front end does - osCommerce or not osCommerce. I'd be interested to see a positive discusson going on the best way for the community to tackle this.
