Forums / Cotonti / Extensions / Cotonti iPhone Webapp

Hey Everyone,

Ive been working recently on a new project, a "Webapp" compatible with your iPhones or iPod Touches. It will work on other mobile devices, and PC's, but the framework is built specifically for iPhones. Before I go further, in Apple-Speak a Webapp is just simply a mobile website designed to work with Safari.

Basically what im working on is a plugin that will display your Cotonti website in a mobile format. Basically everything is powered by iWebKit, all Ive done is adapt it to Cotonti. So far Ive mostly been testing everything out, and whipped up a plugin that shows the recent news articles. I'm posting here just to see what people think, and if anyone would be interested in this.

Heres a link to the example: http://sean-byron.ca/m.php

As I mentioned, so far Ive only got it displaying the most recent news articles. You can tap/click on the articles, and it will also show comments. Recent posts in the forums also come up, but is not fully functional yet. I hope to have that running soon.

Heres a few screens of how it looks on my iPod:







Let me know what you think!

Looks cool

@Trustmaster: iWebKit just has the stylesheets and everything premade. I started making my own, before I did some more research and found iWebKit. Theres also a java script file that takes care of the iPhone sliders and checkboxes.

@Fedai: The code in m.php is really simple:

<?PHP
/* ====================

Description=Mobile Page
[END_SED]
==================== */

define('SED_CODE', TRUE);

require_once('./datas/config.php');
require_once($cfg['system_dir'].'/functions.php');
require_once($cfg['system_dir'].'/common.php');

$p = $_GET["page"];

switch($p)
{
	case "home":
		require_once('plugins/mobileplus/mobileplus.home.php');
	break;

	case "page":
		require_once('plugins/mobileplus/mobileplus.page.php');
	break;

	default:
		require_once('plugins/mobileplus/mobileplus.home.php');
	break;
}
	

?>

This is one think that's on my list to improve. I realize this is probably not the most secure way of doing things. Right now Ive just got a separate file for Pages, and Home. A Forums one is on the way.

I did it this way because if I coded it like a regular plugin, and called it with plug.php?e=mobileplus then i'd get the header and footer attached to it and it wouldn't show up full screen on the iPhone. If someone's got a better suggestion then im open to it!
