WordPress Mobile Edition 1.7

I’ve released version 1.7 of the WordPress Mobile Edition. This fixes up a few things that should make it work better in WordPress 1.2.

Download the zip file from my WordPress page.

I’ve checked in the code to the WP Plugins Source Code Repository, and added the older WordPress 1.0 compatible code in a wp_1.0 branch.

I’ll probably continue to add my plugins to wp-plugins.org as I update them. I love having the Subversion repository up there, great work by all involved in setting it up.

I’ll monitor this thread in the WordPress forums for bug reports.

i use both wordpress and drupal and apparently there is no module for drupal that is like yours alex. i am a novice at PHP. how difficult would you think it would be to port for drupal.

also, if i wanted to add a small graphic on the mobile addition for the header, thoughts on best doing this?

cheers

[…] desde ayer est獺 funcionando rjan m籀vil, la versi籀n para celular de este blog. Gracias al plugin de alex king se puede hacer una versi籀n amigable para PDA o celular con navegador xhtml, que muestra el 繳ltimo post de la bit獺cora. Hacerlo para WAP es mas dif穩cil por las limitaciones que tiene este protocolo, sin embargo la mayor穩a de los celulares que salen al mercado ultimamente tienen incluido un navegador xhtml. Aprovechando la apertura del blog m籀vil, me gustar穩a aclarar en pocas palabras algo en cuanto a las p獺ginas dise簽adas para celulares. El primer protocolo para Internet m籀vil fue el WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) y las p獺ginas hechas para navegadores WAP estan hechas en WML, que es un derivado del html. Este protocolo no ha tenido el 矇xito que se merece y las nuevas tecnolog穩as como GPRS y navegadores XHTML se han encargado de sepultarlo. Tel矇fonos como el sagem myx-2a no soportan conexiones gprs, solamente WAP. La gran desventaja de este sistema es que se necesita hacer una llamada para establecer una conexi籀n a Internet y aun cuando no haya transmisi籀n de datos se cobra el tiempo de utilizaci籀n, algo as穩 como la conexi籀n por tel矇fono tradicional de las PC. Con GPRS, la factura de consumo se basa en la cantidad de datos transmitidos. Al momento de este post, Al籀 cobra por cantidad de datos transmitidos, aunque estuvo un tiempo haciendolo por tarifa plana de $10. Celtel no cobra por el servicio aunque con la excusa de que esta en pruebas (desde hace un a簽o) no tiene la calidad que tiene Al籀. Hay celulares que tienen conexi籀n GPRS pero el navegador es WAP, por ejemplo el motorola c333 y la serie v de motorola (la m獺s com繳n en Honduras) tiene capacidad para mostrar p獺ginas web pero con grandes limitaciones. En cuanto a los navegadores de PC, Opera tiene soporte WAP por defecto, Firefox puede hacerlo f獺cilmente con un plugin y el IE ni se molesta en mostrar las p獺ginas. […]
