    Default Re: Mobile Friendly

    kevinmc3, I'm sure that I'm not the best person to answer this, but I have learned a few things I would like to share. Google says the preferred method is a responsive template over the other two 'types'. Converting my existing template with the DIY responsive code did not work for me, because I was not able to merge the code with the highly modified 12 Leaves Template that I am already using; however, the people at 12 Leaves claim their responsive templates will work with Zen Cart with no core changes, so the conversion (Template install) is supposed to be very simple. I know that picaflor-azul (Anne here on the forum) has a ton of very very nice looking and working templates. I'm sure if you ask her or look around here on the forum, or go look at her demo's you can find out how they work and install. So, in summary, I am going to use a responsive template instead of converting my existing template. Also, I know that 12Leaves has some Mobile ONLY templates that you put in your root folder, in which you don't do anything to your existing template, that will make your site 'work' on mobile devices, and your existing template is still used when people view your site from a large screen; About the Mobile only templates, 12 Leaves says "They install in the root, and don't effect your current site. There is no duplicate content after you install our mobile theme. Only look and feel changes when you visit the site via mobile device, so all the settings, products and other content are exactly the same as you have for your regular desktop theme. It works as just you change your theme via admin area, but it automatically changes for mobile devices." ..... but like I said, Google claims that the Responsive site is preferred. I don't know if Picaflor-azul (Anne) has any mobile only templates, but I know has plenty of Responsive templates. Go to her site and check it out. Hope this helps.
