Mobile device UI #920

Closed robocoder closed 12 years ago

robocoder commented 14 years ago

For mobile devices, we'll probably want to:

define minimum mobile web browser requirements or target a range of models (e.g., iPhone, Blackberry, Android)
templates optimized for small screens
non-Flash alternative for charts (either server or client-based); see #545 or #804
footer hook (e.g., to switch between Classic/Full view vs Mobile view); see #613 and/or #615

Attachment: stub mobile UI plugin; render footer to switch between view types ActiveMobile.zip

robocoder commented 14 years ago

Currently, we instantiate a view using the template path, e.g.,

    $view = new Piwik_View('Login/templates/login.tpl');

We should create a view factory (and refactor a bit of the code in #700, e.g., cli templates). We should also standardize on a convention of either subdirectories (e.g., templates/mobile/login.tpl) or a prefix (e.g., 'mobile_login.tpl').

Add a FrontController.getViewType hook.

    // default
    $viewType = 'full';

    if (phpCliMode()) {
        $viewType = 'cli';
    } else if (isset($session->viewType)) {
        $viewType = $session->viewType;
    } else {
        // mobile browser detection
        ...
    }

View factory method implemented in #921.

    $view = Piwik_View::factory('login');

See !http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/newapi/index.php

Or: !http://mdbf.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=30256

Not as extensive as wurfl but smaller footprint (12mb vs 160k). Note Microsoft Public License so cannot be included in Piwik core.

Could this be implemented as a "mobile theme"? (see #5597)

I mark as wont fix since we now have powerful Piwik Mobile app for web analytics reports on the phone, so probably enough. Plus we are trying to move away from flash completely so most phones should be compatible (JS/HTML required of course). For other phones, they can use HTML Reports :)
