Re: [Dspace-tech] Mobile interface for DSpace
On having two themes for one location: you could look into extending the ThemeMatcher to take into account the nature of the client device, so that you could have two theme elements with the same 'pattern' or 'handle' but distinguished by the presence or absence of a 'mobile' attribute. -- Mark H.

[Dspace-tech] Mobile interface for DSpace
Hi all, This summer, I'm interested in working on a 'basic' mobile prototype for DSpace and got two questions: 1. is anyone working on a mobile interface already? -I've seen some questions in the list, but so far no examples. 2. is there a way to have 2 themes (regular and mobile) working concurrently for the same instance? -the current XMLUI setup seems to only allow one theme at a time.

Hi Elias, A few other tips to add to helix84's good references..

I'd agree that you might want to get in touch with Jonathon Scott to see if he's still working on this, or if he's been unable to get back to this work. You could always just add a comment to the already open JIRA ticket: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1017 In general though, I think it'd be great for DSpace to have a mobile interface. So, I'd also encourage you to submit your work back to the community via a JIRA ticket (or by sending us a Pull Request via GitHub, if you are using GitHub: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/) More on sending a Pull Request and/or using DSpace + GitHub is at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Development+with+Git But, if you don't want to dig into using GitHub, you are more than welcome to submit any contribution via JIRA. Feel free to use whatever is easiest for you.

One way is to specify theme per-request: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Manakin+theme+tutorial#Manakinthemetutorial-Dynamicallyswitchingoutthemes Another way would be to create a copy of the XMLUI webapp configured with a different theme. In terms of implementation, it may also be worth investigating whether it'd be possible to just apply a different CSS for mobile devices (i.e. maybe it could be the same theme, just a different CSS). The various Theme specific 'sitemap.xmap' files allow you to actually configure which CSS file(s) to load based on the type of web browser. For, example, see this section of the main Reference theme's sitemap.xmap: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-webapp/src/main/webapp/themes/Reference/sitemap.xmap#L104 If you look closely, it loads different CSS files based on whether the browser is IE6, a different version of IE, or some other (non-IE) browser. Plus, it is possible to define new types of browsers (based on the User Agent that the browser reports) in the primary XMLUI sitemap here: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-webapp/src/main/webapp/sitemap.xmap#L145 I'll admit, I'm not sure if it'd be as easy as a new set of mobile CSS files. But, it's worth investigating whether you can make DSpace more mobile friendly just by tweaking CSS, rather than creating an entirely separate theme. If it does take an entirely separate theme, it may be possible to do some sort of automated redirect for mobile browsers to that new mobile theme. As helix84 linked to, there's a debugging flag (xmlui.theme.allowoverrides flag in dspace.cfg) that could potentially be used to dynamically change the theme. Or, it may be possible to build a new config (named something like xmlui.theme.mobile = mobile-theme-name), which when enabled will cause DSpace to apply the configured mobile theme for any request coming from a mobile-browser. These are all just brainstorms. :) I think the first step would be to start creating a mobile theme (obviously), and then we can help work on ways to enable it for mobile browsers. Good luck! Feel free to ask more questions or brainstorm ideas as you proceed -- either on this list or on the dspace-devel list. - Tim -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
