Mobile

I'm implementing a module that allows Drupal to send push notifications to the iPhone/iPod Touch.

Plan currently is to support 6.x and use the actions api similar to what twitter module has done.

Anybody interested in this? This would be a good time to make suggestions and comments.

I've just released some "proof of concept" code at http://drupal.org/project/whereis, it's an application that runs on your Symbian phone (Nokia S60), queries your GPS for your lat/long, and sends your coordinates to Drupal using XMLRPC.

At the moment, Drupal will receive a node id, latitude and longitude, and it will simply update the location-enabled node with the new coordinates.

This is all at a very basic level at the moment, but in the future it opens up many possibilities - think Google Latitude style functionality for Drupal.

from the discussion at http://groups.drupal.org/node/19195 schock is working on a project on http://vozmob.net we could have a potential module that will enable registration of users by text messages (SMS). This will enhance the drupal's mobile integration. the module code is found at http://github.com/mfb/vozmob/blob/3cd2e645e63192e174a7710bdeb3000c26b44e...

Hi Mobile folks

As a result of Transmission network sprint few weeks ago on a farm among beautiful Britain hills we have published a tutorial on Posting video from mobile phones into drupal via email into flash video via Mailhandler and Media mover.

Its still considered Incomplete, as my English is not perfect. Please review, correct and expand, so it will be complete.

This is a repost of my forum question over at http://drupal.org/node/463040. I suspect there might be a bit more interest in this topic here, however.

I'm currently doing some research into the feasibility of the title. Basically, I want to be able to synchronize PIM data (and maybe other things?) with various smartphones, like the G1, the iPhone, various Blackberrys and Palm devices.

I found modules and discussions about various things like remote administration and making websites smartphone friendly, but none about syncing data.

hi guys,

This is just a quick "heads up" post. If you're not familiar with spotify, I recommend you try it out, if it's available where you are. It's probably the cleverest and slickest music app I've seen online since liquid audio (which became itunes music store).

Anyway..the heads up is that they've opened up to developers with a libspotify (C API package).

The following is from the spotify site:

KartMe has active retained users on its private alpha website requesting an iphone application. We're looking for a clever developer for the first phase of the iphone application, which should enable users to log-in and "read' existing data. The second phase will enable users to "write" data, both through manuul data entry and searching of our databases. The third phase will involve the camera and gps.

Hi guys,

I released an experimental Mobile Tools module (http://drupal.org/project/mobile_tools) on Drupal.

It has some essential features to help preparing your site to go mobile:
- e.g. device detection
- redirection to mobile site
- notification of existence of mobile/desktop site
- creating mobile user roles
- Theme switching

Feel free to try it out and suggest new features.

The module is not about making your content mobile, but be sure that an adminstrator can select which content is suitable for the mobile site, and to make sure that people are directed to that site.

Hi All

Am a newbie in drupaL and i really have been overwhelmed by its power... like they say you dream it and drupal will do it. I would lIke to have my users to send SMS on a site am developing and i am using webform module to provide the interface but i have no idea how to change or provide it with a processing or funtion for the submit button to send the SMS using the clickatell gateway or even by email gateways. am using drupal 5 with the following modules webform SMS gateway,sms-framework, smssend, and smsemail . anyone with an idea plese advice me on how i will achieve these.

I saw this post http://groups.drupal.org/node/6964 but it seems to be more concerned with making drupal websites come up in the phones web browser, which in and of itself can be quite powerful. However I am interested in the possibility of creating an application for the Google phone that integrates with drupal back end for various management tasks.

Hi mobi'ers,

I just joined the mobi group in search of help and resources.

The first place I went, was Showcase. Am I using it correctly? I don't see a single site there. Are we shy or am I using it wrong?

I have so many questions and not a clue, about what mods I can use on mobi's

examples:

1) Can I use mods that use jquery - a lot of the new mods use jquery

2) Same for Ajax

3) what type of menu system works best

4) mod's that should be avoided

5) mods that are perfect fits for mobi

6) paging

7) page length

8) menu length

hi all,

Someone in the mood to come together on DrupalCon and discuss the current state, state-of-the art, or new ideas concerning making Drupal mobile. Ranging from mobile payments, mobile theming, usability, showcases, tips-tricks, ...

This is a new Wiki page! We can use this page to collect some essential resources for the community that want to get involved in mobile drupal. Feel free to add your resources here! [edit]

I need to find a way to open Drupal 6 up to sms registration. The way I imagine it working is that people can create a Drupal account by sending their name to the application via sms. They then receive an auto reply containing their password and can then visit the site (either directly via a phone or a web browser) and log in using their mobile phone number (instead of an email address) and that password.

It would need to remain possible for people to register in the traditional way with an email address.

What do people think?

Hi All,

I recently got into mobile web development and I am working out some solutions in making your blog / website mobile. I have written a tutorial on my blog, http://www.mobiledrupal.com. Here is the immediate link to the blog

Hi,

I'm an intermediate Drupal user (not a coder) and I'm totally new to Drupal For Mobiles. I've read some docu on drupal-mobile, but still can't make heads or tales of how to make it work, or where to start. So I would really appreciate a guiding hand: any pointers, advices, modules etc.

Here's the story: I've got a Drupal 5 site (which soon will be updated to 6x). My visitors keep asking me for a mobile version of my site. Something like http://m.digg.com or http://m.reddit.com . And I am totally lost as to how to do it, or even where to start???

I'm just new here but I would like to share my idea about how probably I can help in a little way for the mobile group.

I really don't know personally how drupal mobile gone so far, though I did some reading of the group forum topics here.

I would like to propose a future infrastructure that maybe will help, aid, and guide Drupal mobile to achieve its goal.

This is called MNS [Mobile Name System] for mobile phones.

Hi guys,

I'm at the final stages of a new mCommerce gateway module for Drupal ecommerce for a client that okayed the release of it on Drupal.org.

...in brief, what the module does is allow you to use mobile phones as a method of payment on a Drupal ecommerce site. i.e. instead of using paypal, credit cards, debit cards, google checkout etc. you can now offer an mCommerce option where the customer pays via their mobile phone (reverse SMS txt billing message).
