Re: X-Cart Mobile module released

Hello, guys.

This thread is not dead :)

I'd like to say thank you to espresso for the feedback. We will take it into account for the further Mobile versions.

A question to mcanitano. What is the bug with "FLC/X-Payments iFrame CSS "? It seems we have fixed it in the latest Mobile version. If not, we will sort this out.

An answer to xcel: the Mobile and Ideal responsive can work together.
The thing is that the Mobile version is enabling automatically if a customer opened the store on the mobile device.

I'm sorry for the latecomers news :) but we have released the next version of Mobile module (ver 1.4.0)

Here is the list of changes:
Bugs:
- Remove 'strstr' from templates
- Products displays as out of stock even if Disable inventory tracking is enabled.

Improvements:
- Added Mobile_Detect php-class for a more precise device detection
- The 'switch view' button is always showing
- X-Cart 4.6 compatibility

Too bad, I tried a couple ($190.00), and let me tell you, they are very heavy on resources and yes, very responsive, that it is hard to keep your eyes focused on products (jumping around on the screen) you want to buy.

Glad to hear this mod is still being improved, you're almost there :D

The screen jumping :) will happen if you keep rotating your phone portrait/landscape but otherwise the design stays.

Keep in mind that most XC responsive templates available are build around XC templates which use html4/css2. There is not one XC responsive template I have seen yet that is fully re-written to use html5/css3 and without this you have to rely a lot on js framework to support the responsive design.

Also keep in mind that XC has a huge amount of js and css files and they all load with all XC templates available making the responsive template still somewhat heavy with XC

Why am I saying this - working on a site to be responsive and html5/css3 and actually rewriting XC templates in use from scratch getting rid of all css and js code that is not necessary to load - very light an fast.

An example will be form validation - while XC uses now a lot of js code to do form validation with html5 you don't need all this code - html5 has this built-in...
Images in design - no need - css3 takes care of that, for the most part

Re: X-Cart Mobile module released

Is there any documentation on how to upgrade the mobile module to the latest version...

I cant seem to find any on the online user guide.

If you did not changed the code in the module templates (or php-files), then just unpack the latest module from the helpdesk file area and run the "install-xcartmobile.php".

Re: X-Cart Mobile module released

It's an issue as updates to the core php and templates have been made.... Any suggestions?

I'm really after the feature from 1.4.0 where the The 'switch view' button is always showing.

Open the 'skin/common_files/modules/Xcart_Mobile/customer/core.js' file.
Find and comment (or remove) the following code:

HTML Code:

$(window).bind('resize pagebeforeshow', function () {

    

    var //currentPage = $.mobile.activePage,

    viewport = {

      width: $(window).width(),

      height: $(window).height()

    }

    

    if ((viewport.width >= 1000 || viewport.height >= 1000)) {

      $('.switch-mobile').css({

        'display': 'block'

      });

    } else {

      $('.switch-mobile').hide();

    }

Then open the 'skin/common_files/modules/Xcart_Mobile/css/main.css' file and set the 'display' property to 'block' here:

HTML Code:

/*

  Switch mobile view button

*/

.ui-footer > .ui-btn.switch-mobile,

.switch-mobile {

  display: none;

}

Re: X-Cart Mobile module released

I posted in the other popular mobile mod and also here so QT can do something about it if possible

Mobile templates should be served based on scren size not device type. There are tables small enough to not fit desktop version of the site as well as smartphones big enough to fit the desktop version. And from certain screen size down there should always be a switch button so user can have a choice what they want to use

Re: X-Cart Mobile module released

Found another issue ...

During checkout - the radio buttons on the Delivery and Payment methods are offset (see attachment)
Looking at the CSS but can locate how these are position.

Anyone?

Yes, Steve. The current Mobile 1.4 version has the switch button always showing. Independent of a screen size.
Also we're planned to add an option to the admin: "Disable the Mobile version for a tablets".
