Professional Joomla templates and extensions club

Unregistered

I am a noob, still in the process of selecting a club and framework. One appeal of Morph is the iOS support, i.e., the existence of an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch version of each themelet. Gantry, though, at least appears to have support for all the mobile and tablet platforms. Code bloat is a worry with RT, of course, so I was wondering about the timing of your platform-wide mobile/tablet support, or is it pretty much a matter of any themelet that works nicely on the iPhone will run on anything teensy?

$isiPhone = $browser->getBrowser() == MBrowser::PLATFORM_IPHONE && $iphone_mode == 1;
$iPhoneCookie = isset($_COOKIE['iPhone']) ? $_COOKIE['iPhone'] == 'normal' : false;
if($isiPhone && !$iPhoneCookie && $iphone_mode == 1) {
	if (file_exists($inc_iphone)) { include_once($inc_iphone); } else { include_once('core/includes/iphone.php'); }
	if (file_exists($inc_iphonefooter)) { include_once($inc_iphonefooter); }  else { include_once('core/includes/iphone_footer.php'); }
} else {
	// load the normal browser based layout
}

Hi, :)

Currently there's only iPhone support built into Morph's Configurator. Documentation: How to configure the iPhone version of your site

That said, we just licensed Morph under GPL and opened up for community contributions around the development. :) On the new information site for Morph - http://getmorph.org - one of the planned incubator projects is to extend the framework to support other mobile devices.

The new incubator projects for Morph's development will be sub-projects focusing on specific features (performance, mobile support, rtl, etc). This new approach will open up to the development of sub-features, working with the community to make that particular feature as good as it possibly can be. We've borrowed this concept from http://www.nooku.org/ where it works really well. :)

Chris, co-founder of Joomlajunkie, is busy with the finishing touches on the 1st version of getmorph.org. The next major update to the site will have groups setup, with each one setup specifically for an incubator project or sub feature.

To further answer your question about mobile devices:
This will take a couple of months to get going. In the mean time, there are a number of extensions that you can use to add further mobile support. Take a look at Mobile Joomla! for iPhone, Android, Nokia, Blackberry and WAP phones and let us know how it goes :)

Other than that, Morph includes a php based browser sniffing plugin which picks up the user agent (iphone, ipad, blackberry, etc). This could technically be used to offer up alternate versions of your site for different devices. This is how we're currently doing the iphone version:

I hope the above answers your question? Let me know if you have any other questions of concerns, and I'll happily help. :)

Cheers,
Tess
