New Package - IPhone alt page
Just a follow up on the previous post. I updated the xslt to have a very generic approach to the iphone alternative page and wrapped it up in a package.
With the package you can have an iphone alternative page up in a couple of second. Just install the package and insert the javascript snippet into your master template. This works on every umbraco site so it doesn’t mather if you are using runway or just have a completely custom implementation.
Here’s a small demo:
What the package installs:
After installation you’ll need to specify wich fields will be used to display on the iphone pages (default this is set to bodytext and content). You can do this on the IPhone template, just look for the IPhoneContent macro and setup the displayFields parameter.
<umbraco:Macro displayFields=”bodyText,content” Alias=”IPhoneContent” runat=”server”></umbraco:Macro>

Nice idea - very simple. Only issue I found is that if you are using directory paths, it needs some tweaking
Hi,
Nice idea, I thought you would have implemented it on Nibble.be, so I just grabbed my iPhone to have a look, but I just see your normal website? Do you have any examples live?
Cheers,
Chris
Hey Cris, It’s installed on this site: http://www.karlkopp.com/
Hey Karl, can you tell what tweaking? That would help!
Hi Karl
Does your package work with ordinary mobiles? I’m looking for a package that will provide a nice cut down mobile version. Do you know of anything like this?

Hi Karl,
Nice article .. but i have following issue :
On my site i installed iphonealtpage… Its working fine on test enviornment which is win XP IIs6 ..
But at server side(win 2008 IIS7) iphone page is not working ..I am giving you my website URL too. you can view-source and check the script(iphonealtpage in section) … it is not giving me /iphone.aspx.
Please advice
Nevermind ,I got above issue resolved… was having permission issue … Just wondering i am having .NET usercontrol as macro on one of the pages, which is not visible to the iphone.. what can we done to make it visible.Its in “bodyText”
It appears that the JS eats click for normal external links. Is there a way to have both the alt page working and have external links in the bodyText?
Also, I’ve made a few tweaks to allow for some text on the pages with items under them (like the home page). Let me know if you want me to send you any mods.
Thanks!
Sooo, does this actually work on other devices like the Android Google browser, Blackberry browser or other handhelds other than just the iPhone???
Tim, this is a great package, but doesn’t work with my site using directory url’s… the links are being formatted as “/iphone.aspx#1042″. On the iphone, the homepage just keeps reloading over and over.
Hi Tim,
Great package. I am trying to get it to work on Android - navigation works fine but i can’t scroll the web pages.
Has anybody experienced this?

I’d really like to use this package if possible.

Hi to all,
I tried to install this module, but with poor results. On a
site I found that the pattern using the shell is old. There
is? Someone was able to install it and run it? How?
Thanks in advance,
Regards.

Hi
Can anyone get this working using the new schema? If so can you post the code?
Thanks
