Thanks, Ken! You're really awsome!

I'd like to publish this on my two web pages and on FB page of Istorijska biblioteka. How should I do? Are any aditional explanations are necessary for my fans to see the IS and SJA pages, or it is enough to tell them to download this app and to use it for IB and SJA?

IB - Istorijska biblioteka
SJA - Srpski jezički atelje

PS: Could you provide the Google Play button (a picture), so I can put it on my web sites?

Sure :)

To share on Facebook, you can use this link:

And I think it's pretty self explanatory. Just need to keep in mind that users need to be a member of your site to access the forums. Also, Wikidot for Android does not currently adapt web pages for mobile — it just launches it in your default browser.

Thanks, Ken, but I've just discovered that it doesn't serve for just visualizing Wikidot sites, so there is no point to announce it in the FB, because most of IB fans are not members of the sites, but only visit them.

Do you think this app could be amplified to visualizing the Wikidot sites on Android, too?

O already announced this to few members of my sites I have, but I think it would be much more useful if it could be used for navigation in Wikidot sites… It is awsome tool for Wikidot members, but it would be even more useful if it can be used just to navigate Wikidot sites…

That's what our mobile browsers are for. Kenneth may want to build his own browser into this app some day, but it's really up to us as site owners to try to move toward making our sites play nice on mobile browsers. One issue with most themes and sites hosted on Wikidot is that they aren't too "mobile-friendly". That's something I'm really interested in, but would like to see Wikidot implement some technologies (like jQuery Mobile) to make it easier for us to create mobile sites. But, I digress. That's a discussion for elsewhere ([http://feedback.wikidot.com/wish:861 like here).

Hey Brunhilda,

While building an app purely for visualising Wikidot sites is in the roadmap, I've hit roadblocks when trying to build it :P

I think the best setup would be to use a category:_mobiletemplate to generate template files for loading in the mobile pages to give admins more customisability. However, it isn't easy to implement and will take a long time to get right. And this may have to be a separate app altogether.

Oh… :( I wish I could understand what you two talk about… :P

I understood that there cannot be a single app for Android for visualizing Wikidot sites in general, but each of us has to do some programming to his own site. Unfortunately, I am unable to do this… :(

I'll check that wish Ed posted, and vote….

I do not believe that another app would solve the problem of the different layout we need of our sites on a mobile or small tablets. I can remember that Timothy or Steven hade made such redirects of the mai start page to another category ( like kennetrh has asked for ) with a complete different small layout ( like the newspaper have it today for mobile devices they have a different "landing" page if the recieving device is a small one).

I beleive this is more a html5 story ( or CSS ?) . Perhaps we should start a new howto-project:

How can we detect a visitor is using a mobile or other small device and than the call(URL) of the start page is to be redirected to a complete another serie(s) showing our main articles in a small layout (like the "mobile:_template" Kenneth has written?

.

http://community.wikidot.com/howto:go-mobile is an old one from gerdami - but the same question.

I found some posts with some very usefull information and collect them on this oöd howto..

@Aschie: Yes, I agree a tablet version would be a great addition to Wikidot for Android. But IMO, Wikidot is quite accessible on mobile web browsers with a tablet-sized screen. Some may beg to differ :P

I will work on better supporting larger screens — but it's not a priority.

Were you on a nobile internet connection by any chance? I'm yet to test my app outside of a fixed line connection.

When it was fast and responsive I was using my phone's mobile HSDPA connection, while out at the shops. So that works fine.

It's whilst at home that is the issue. I'd be lucky to get GPRS there, and the land-line (which I was using over Wi-Fi during testing) isn't much better.
