Theme engine: add a negotiation strategy for mobile devices (iPhone, ...)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: NXP-6584
URL: https://jira.nuxeo.com/browse/NXP-6584
Project: Nuxeo Enterprise Platform
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Jean-Marc Orliaguet
Assignee: Jean-Marc Orliaguet
The default table-based layout used for rendering themes is not designed for
mobile phone screens (horizontal layout, small fonts, difficult to see buttons
and input fields, ...).
When designing sites for mobile devices, a standard solution (except from
creating a dedicated mobile app) is to offer a page for mobile clients which
has a linearized layout (for ex. http://mobile.lemonde.fr/ or
cnn.com/mobile/), however the link to the mobile page can often be difficult to
find when using a mobile phone.
When using the theme engine, there are several options that could be used to
improve user experience:
- create a separate theme for mobile devices and associate it to a given URL
(.e.g /mobile/)
- create a "mobile" engine which does linearized layouts and apply it to a
given URL (e.g. /mobile/)
or better:
- apply a specific mobile theme or engine as described above not to a URL but
to a list of mobile clients:
the client negotiation can be based on the User-Agent HTTP header, combined
with a regex.
<application root="${org.nuxeo.ecm.contextPath}/site/my-site"
template-engine="freemarker">
<client id="iphone4">
<engine>mobile</engine>
</client>
<client id="ipad">
<theme>larger-screen/default</theme>
</client>
<client id="all-known-mobiles">
<theme>mobile/default</theme>
</client>
....
</application>
with an nxruntime contribution point for defining "client" ids as regex
expressions.
