SMF4Mobile in splitview template
« on June 9th, 2011, 12:44 PM »
For the next version of SMF4Mobile, I was thinking of converting it to the splitview plugin template, it offers enhanced supports  for tablets while maintaining a nice compatibility to mobile devices.
Here's the official demo :

Please let me know what you guys think.

PS : I know this really isn't related to Wedge but I do plan on porting the theme so I guess it is somewhat relevant.
The way it's meant to be

While your mobile theme works very nicely on tablets as-is, I can certainly understand the logic of having the split view.

That's the one thing about tablets that keeps it interesting - they're too big to really benefit from most 'mobile' things and too small to stretch out with the ever-increasing size of desktop stuff (even 1280 wide is considered quite narrow these days!)

I agree, that's why I've been thinking of enhancing it to offer support for a wider range of devices. What do you think of the demo itself?

I think that the split done verically is not the best design[1]. A good solution can ba to split horizontaly, where the menu can be something like little tabs (with proper icons).

 1. for example, I'musing a 240x320 device...

It is only split for large devices, for smaller devices it shows either screen depending upon what you click.

@dorje: The split is exactly how Apple's guidelines suggest for a device of the iPad's 1024x768 resolution ;)

I am confused, what are you looking at? The demo I linked or something else? The demo shows an iPad like mail layout where there is side panel for browsing and a main panel for actual content. I am trying to do a similar thing for SMF(And soon to be, wedge).

Then you should be having a menu link on the top left, you'll need a screen of above a certain width in order to see both the panels

That's kinda odd, maybe an Opera problem? Can you try in other browser(Preferably webkit based).
