Optimizing Themes & Modules for iPhone use.

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

I am hoping there is some untapped interest out there in getting Drupal to work with the new Apple iPhone.

Seems like it should be relatively simple to brew up an iPhone Drupal module to turn any given custom Drupal node into an iPhone App, this would have an amazing effect on the recognition of and distribution of Drupal itself, given that Apple figures to sell something like 10 million units the first year, and many of those people would be ripe to find a way to develop their own iPhone apps.

There have been quite a few barcamps for iPhone dev which got me thinking about starting this group, some of the great early efforts at working with the iPhone from these campls focuses on the web/ajax side. One of the emerging Gurus has a great blog at:

Also see a great little article in the Ajaxian Blog about Joes work, and a great example set of css and javascript files to create a fully functional iPhone interface for any web app.

Looks like a good starting point for developing Drupal Themes for iPhone use.

Move to Drupal + make theme mobile compatible

We're thinking about moving our WP site to Drupal and making it more "mobile friendly" - meaning, when viewing with a mobile device, it will use most of the screen area for content and not for navigation. Hopefully, navigation can be split and use a different URL from the main content.

The most popular pages in our site are the iPhone localization and Android localization guides. These need to be preserved as closely as possible when migrating.

Any ideas for doing this move? Is there a Drupal module that can detect mobile devices and hook to the theme so that the output is better optimized for mobile screens?

Politika Theme: Help design a free GPL Drupal theme

Hello theme designers/developers/users.

I would like to ask if anyone is interested in contributing to discussions about a new free Drupal theme. It is similar to some projects for getting new themes in core but instead of a community-designed theme directly for core (like Bartik) I think it would be better to just have it in contrib.

If you are interested please check out this blog post: http://www.sooperthemes.com/drupal-blog/project-politika-help-design-fre...

Thanks!

Hur kan jag spela local quicktime video i lightbox?

Hej,

jag har ett litet problem.
Jag skulle vilja visa quicktime mp4 filer på min drupal sida och filerna ska ligga lokalt på siten.
Efter att ha googlat bestämde jag mig för att använda Videofield för att ladda upp och integrera videofilerna i mina noder. Först kommer ett felmedelande upp som även diskuteras här. Jag får iofs inte det att fungera genom att "kommentera bort" valda delar. Men genom att välja "Swf tools" under "visa fält" för min nodtyp får jag videon att spela fint.

Solving the Mobile / Web Crossover issues - call for Beta testers

I Just wanted to let you know about a new service which we have just launched in Beta Mode.

http://www.handsetdetection.com/

It is the first step in solving the mobile and web crossover issues which website owners / developers face when someone views their website from any device other than a normal computer (I-phone / mobile phone / PDA etc).

The service is free to use and we believe the best channel to market would be through the open-source CMS community. We are therefore looking for Beta Testers out there to try the service and provide feedback on their experiences.
