@athai Why is the slideshow so broken on mobile? I haven't looked too much into it, but we're using slick.js, correct? The site says it's fully responsive. If that doesn't work, why not just swap out for another library?
I just feel like the slideshow is a large part of the home page, and it would be better to repair it than to remove it, especially considering how most web traffic comes from mobile devices nowadays.
@athai @subnomo Pam reminded me that the slideshow on the EECS website works just fine on mobile. Is there a way to access the Drupal template and see if we can't translate that to the Pelican site? Or am I oversimplifying things?
The table on the
Partner With Us
page now looks like this.As for the slide show, it seems that removing it entirely (on mobile) may be the better option. The following are a list of issues a mobile slide show has:
All Stories
button floats awkwardly on the pageAlternatively, I think it'd be better to switch to a static image and default title once we hit a certain pixel width. Currently, the web page is set up to do exactly that, but since we haven't specified an image/title to use, it's defaulting to the most recent article and its image.
There are two options as to what we can use as the default mobile image.
Option 1 is easiest since it probably won't need to be updated regularly. Option 2 will take some work to maintain, but if we go with a collage, I can still make it link to
News
(like theAll Stories
button did). So even though the mobile site may be visually different from the regular website, it'll still be somewhat similar functionally.What do you think?
