sorry SPH

heres the corrected link
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1965

its in the templates section if this doesn't work.



The style sheet is a mess but I had a bit of confusion with them, this is the second site I have used this goMobile switch on, the first one looked for the mobile style sheet in the mobile template package but my site uses the normal style sheet in the mobile template.

I would recommend anyone who wants to use this module, don't use my css as its very specific for my site (and a bit messy), I am working on adding a default template to the module.

Heres a couple of screen grabs to show what it should look like


Mobile site



Full site







If anyone's building or testing a mobile site I suggest you use firefox with the user agent switcher plugin

it lets you switch your browser to emulate a mobile device.




SPH, Thanks for the kind comments about my site, its all done by me!
If I get some time I 'll try and bundle up the dropdown menu, took ages but I'm pleased with the effect.
It really just code I found around the web adapted to suit my needs.

Your mobile site jpg looks like our Apple Zen templates in Firefox's view css by handheld device tool: all aligned down the left side. I think this Apple Zen template is already handheld optimized somewhat (and supposedly is specially SEO optimized, we'll see). Clyde's zencartzen template is also handheld optimized, coming with a handheld stylesheet which moves everything in a long column down the left, viewed in Firefox css handheld tool.

Yes, your sites are very impressive! Probably the most "tricked-out" zencarts I've seen, and done very professionally. Very nice work.

Everything seems to make the sites a little slow compared with my site, but then mine is (or should be) lightening fast because there really isn't much on it yet.

One of the reasons why testing Apple Zen is that we are hightly interested in a drop-down menu for some, if not all, of our sites. Your menus are very impressive and (assuming no issues) I would think a hit if offered as a mod...or even a commercial mod.

You also have serious template design talent.

PS: I do think that my custom tpl product info display may disrupt any Apple Zen handheld optimization on the products, using a table to place everything to right of main pic:

If I could do it with divs it would be better.

Steve,

I am just starting to dig into this... Can you post up a copy of your CSS and mobile layout for me to screw around with? I am confused on how many files I need to edit to get this to work. My site displays in English, Spanish, Italian, and German so I was thinking of using symbols for a majority of things and a really basic product description.


I am still a newbie at web work.. normal coding for me is very old school plc and assembly stuff! Thanks again for getting us all started, I will do what I can to help contribute!
