Omega Must be Doing Something Right! (part 2)

I totally understand why!

Mobile is going to be interesting for sure. But it always is. Not sure there is yet a "Drupal Mobile Framework" as such. But as far as I can see Omega is filling the void. More please and big congrats. We've been nothing but amazed by the Theme. Very very stable and the use of SubTheming as standard is a great way to develop and edit without killing off core functions.

Way of the future.... way of the future... way of....

For the main site. - Very early version available here www.bedfordtw.co.uk we want to have a rotating gallery.

We were wondering a few things. How do we get this to convert (possibly into static promotions) on a mobile site.

How do we get different images to render (sadly not all can be done in HTML/CSS.) What are the considerations and how do we setup Omega for this.

We couldn't be any happier with the Theme. Really impressive and intuitive - but I think we're not in a position to explore it as much as we'd like given our deadlines.

Bottom line is this, we'd rather adapt Omega for Mobile than have to re-build a new theme. I think this makes us efficient as a provider - so Omega for Mobile would become configuration and any extras in the mobile version would then be customisation.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks Jesse! I can't wait to see how Omega looks in another 6 months.

Jesse, if you're at Drupal Con London 2011, IOU a beer.

Thanks for the heads up, its been causing us some severe headaches and we wanted to create something for it. Will def check out the projects. Much obliged!

We've looked at using browser triggers e.g. IOS, to then define resource calls, but it gets messy fast, but not in detail yet.

Thanks and keep up the great work on Omega, I keep finding little - "hmmm Clever..." aspects to it. Clearly a lot of thought went into it. Its quietly changing the way I think about Drupal Theming.

Also it plays remarkably well with views pre-theming which is a rare pleasure!

One other question. We've been running some YSlow tests and Firebug NET and DOM speed evaluation. We love coding in multiple stylesheets, any risks of crunching them down to fewer in a live environment? Is this recommended practice for Omega?

Using 3x. Will have to check this out in more detail. At the moment we're updating about every 2 days and haven;t yet supercharged D7 for full production. If you have any links for the Caching would be great.

We've worked out some tricks for the Social media stuff to stop the endless JavaScript pageload calls and cache stuff where possible.

I'll look into the Cache stuff ASAP. As said IOU a beer!
