Drupal theme for iPhone and Android devices. Mobile Webkit Updated, Beta Testing

Drupal theme for iPhone and Android devices. Mobile Webkit Updated,   Beta Testing

Mobile Webkit, Drupal theme for iPhone and Android devices.  Theme features include:

 

   *  jQuery based animations

   * Rotation aware layout

   * Admin menu adapted for mobile devices.   

 

 

Use the mobile tools module to perfom theme switching and voila you are now mobile.

 

The theme's block regions all have unique mobile names.  This was done to not try and cram all of a desktop version's blocks in to a mobile theme.  For a better UX specific mobile blocks should be set.

 

One of the main features of the theme is the adapted Admin Menu.  By hijacking admin menu to display in a mobile optimized menu you can easily maintain a site quickly from your phone.  After logging in if the Admin Menu is present a wrench will be displayed in the top toolbar.  Tapping the wrench toggles the admin menu.  The menu has been optimized to tap directly to the admin page you are looking for.  IE content -> comments -> awaiting moderation.  Get to the page you want in one page load = fast administration.  By enabling the awesome theme editing module you can also fix CSS or page template bugs from your phone.

In depth:

-Logo or Site name can be used (Logo height should be 35px max)

-Search Icon triggers hidden search panel.

-Top Menu region can display primary links or a mobile specific menu to direct users to mobile optimized views or content listings.  This menu is intended to have 4-5 links but will wrap if more are needed.  In landscape a longer menu will display on one line.

-Node listing  pages use adapted teasers to display only when tapped.  This can  be a hidden div or adapted to a ajax request if a handler is set. (upcoming version 2)

-Full pages scroll fluidly allowing the user to read longer posts without the need for zooming or squinting.

-Bottom tab block region houses a panel of content that overlays the content.  We built this to house Quick Links of news and video assets on every page.  This can be mobile specific to allow the user to watch videos via quicktime or their android  media player.

-(Deleted, Ugly) Scroll to top arrow appears when the viewport has been scolled.  This allows the user to quick navigate back to the address bar and main navigation.

-Page footer region is renamed mobile page footer.  Allowing you to have seperate Desktop or Mobile footers if wanted.

 

This theme is still in it's early stages.  Please check it out and sound back with any comments, bugs or feature requests you may have.  After a few months of beta testing I will commit it to the Drupal.org theme registry.

 

Update Beta Version Available!  Beta Notes:

Here it is the base theme.  Use it with admin menu to control your site on the go.  Check the Page.tpl.php file for the theme switching script.  Use the script for a mobile subdomain.  More info here

***Beta Download***

Still in Dev,  Super duper block tab overlays. (Coming Soon)

You will need to assign your

You will need to assign your menu to one of the regions in the block settings.

This theme has the primary links omitted to allow you to have a mobile specific menu. If you want the primary links in the top bar just assign it in the block admin page.

Any hope of a release?

I realize I'm being a little pesky, but this theme really deserves to see the light of day over on drupal.org. It rocks. Get it out there for the general public to see!

This is a great theme! I have

This is a great theme!

I have been having so much trouble with Nokia theme etc, "mobilewebkit" seems to fix most of my gripes and I look forward to the final release.

PS where is your rss feed hiding?

Great theme!

Nice and clean on my Android. Thanks so much! All the themes on Drupal.org are either sooo iphone specific that they don't work on anything else, or make my Android look like an iPhone, or are just plain ugly. This one is almost perfect - Thanks!

feedback on blocks

I installed this on my personal site (http://domesticat.net if you want to see how it's working) and I saw a few things when I tested it on my iPhone.

Blocks in the mobile footer could use a little more theming. Block titles don't appear to be displaying, and links are black text on black background. Multiple blocks in the footer also run together - there's no visual separation.

I have not tested the tabbed option in the footer yet.

Overall, this is a smooth, pretty implementation. I'm pleased. Please get this posted on drupal.org ASAP! You'll get more testers and more feedback; d.o is hurting for good mobile themes.

The theme looks great and works fine on an iPhone for your site. When will you make this available?
