Hi,
I vaguely remember some work was undertaken making a mobile view for Pier.
Is it still available? How did/does it work? Custom templates, views?
Did/does it select the view based on user agent?
I was wondering about using jQueryMobile to create a mobile view - though
as I write this perhaps a mobile rss reader and using Pier's rss support
would fulfil a similar purpose? Thoughts?
Cheers

It was a new view using a new entry point. Should be easy to dispatch
depending on user-agent using Seaside-REST or Apache. Was based on some
Javascript/CSS iPhone library/theme. I think you can find it on my
SqueakSource under the name iSea.

Ehh well, unfortunately it never made it quite out of the "hack" state.
Great that you could pick it up. I guess it is not worth more than to
demonstrate how to create an alternative web view.

All I did was:
PRPierFrame subclass: #JQMPierFrame ...
JQMPierFrame>>registerAsApplication: aString kernel: aKernel
"self registerAsApplication: 'pier' kernel: (PRKernel instanceNamed:
'pier')"
| app |
app := JQMAdmin register: self asApplicationAt: aString.
self configureApplication: app.
app preferenceAt: #kernel put: aKernel.
^ app
I can't remember all the additional tweaks I had to make, to get a
mostly workable jQueryMobile look. (The Pier Browse view will need
re-working to fit in with JQM, so that's a TODO).
Unfortunately, the changes are one-way - i.e. the non-JQM web look is
not easily available. It would be great to be able to choose the view
based on user agent.
I can put together what I have as a PierAddon, and then we can try to
make it switchable based on user agent. Is there interest in doing this?

Hi Yanni,

Sounds good.
I'm still experimenting too. I was thinking that a good mobile view of the
blog would be a good start. Followed by a way of reading pier books on a
mobile device, that feels a little like the e-reader apps but delivered to
the browser.
A secondary focus would be to enable the administration tools within a
mobile app. Something like the wordpress iOS app - http://ios.wordpress.org/
Still more thoughts than concrete ideas, but I would love to collaborate.
Cheers
Nick
