Mobile support

I just want to throw my two cents in about how important Mobile support is for this product.

It’s not the future - it’s now.

I don’t expect this product to natively support mobile device features, but I would hope there is at least support in the form of code generated that works well on Mobile devices. This means at a minimum - the layout resizing, the controls resizing, and gestures working.

In the very near future, a large percentage of people browsing today at a PC will be browsing on a tablet.

Agree, at some point even desktops will move to touch screens with keyboards. I think the mouse is dead except for certain applications like cad and maybe graphics.

Mobile support is very important.

Re: Mobile support

BTW, I have done some very limited experimenting with SC and mobile layout. It is possible, but requires special mobile style tags. I was able to get it to work by adding the tags in the onload event, but this is not the proper way to do it. Once again, these tags should be added to the <head></head> section of the app / menu or better yet in the main style sheet for the app. Manually editing the CSS file kind of defeats the purpose of using SC since the changes will be overwritten each time you deploy.

well I thought you could make changes to the local CSS files so they are deployed along with the Apps (?)
I think JOOMLA is an excellent example on how to do it. They separated template system from the CMS code, so people can create templates usine Responsive Design structure. This way the website is smart enough to open properly on the smartphone, but this is only really fully functional in Joomla 3+

Standard windoes seem to work well under ios and android using various browsers. safari and chrome for ios has some serious bugs that make windows that open in a frame loose the scrollbar. This seems not to happen with android, and also not with firefox for ios (yes there is a firefox for ios).

OK, I just trried to open an SC App on my mobile phone and except the menu it looks completely unacceptable.
I wonder if there is anybody who knows how to work with SC templates ?
Perhaps we could build some custom templates to take care of that.

Normal stylesheets allow percentages so I guess it also works if you put that in your templates instead of px
Just check out w3schools (e.g. http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_dimension.asp)

Nope but I if I run firefox in desktop mode on my tablet or my phone I get my windows just as with a desktop.

aka, you nerves … On the ignore list you’re in good hands … plonk.

it is not the App frame size only. The main problem lies in the field sizes. When I open my form on a mobile dev. it is way to small, and even if I resize it with my thumbs the field remains small.
