Hi Ben, Kathy, Suzanne, folks, This helps quite a bit! I will go ahead and file a bug report and then see if we can hack something together! I’m not a developer but if I come up with something, I will add it to the bug report. I just wasn’t sure how other folks were approaching this….
Really appreciate it!

One kicks in at 600px, but also one at 800px. So there's a lot of ground to cover here. -- Ben Sent from my Nexus 6 On Feb 12, 2015 9:23 AM, "Kathy Lussier" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Good information Ben! Tony, I also don't think it's a bad idea to file a LP bug on this issue in case somebody can look at it before a hackfest happens. Also, if you follow up on Ben's suggestion and adjust your own CSS so that it works better, that change is something you could submit on the bug. Kathy On 02/12/2015 12:15 PM, Ben Shum wrote: Hi Tony, So admittedly, the first work done in this area, we had to select a resolution to begin writing mobile view for and it was 600px (you can see this in the style.css.tt2 file). So if you're viewing at 615 px, it will not kick in the mobile view version, of course. At 600 or less, it will kick in the mobile CSS. Long-term, I do believe that we need work to enhance the catalog to support multiple viewing resolutions. And there is Dan Scott's filed bug to deal with designing with mobile in mind first (https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1413730). Not sure where that's headed yet, but keeping more mobile views than just smartphones seems like a good thing to do. In the meantime, you can adjust when mobile kicks in (what if you wanted it at 650 px?) by changing the CSS file for TPAC. Or you can help start creating a good middle sized CSS for view on slightly larger environments, like tablets. Continuing work on mobile responsiveness was a project idea during OPW last time (http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=opw#project_ideas) and I can see it being a good project for a future Hackfest session or Hack-A-Way too. -- Ben On Thu, Feb 12, 2015 at 11:36 AM, Tony Bandy <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Kathy, folks, Thanks much for the note! ------------------ For the most part, the general TPAC looks pretty decent when viewed on a mobile device, but we’re noticing that when logging in to check your personal account, the display is a little wide—the user has to scroll to the right to view the entire box. Also, once logged in, and this is the biggest issue we’ve seen, the lists of items that are checked out are all, for the lack of a better term, “all squashed together”…. J J when you get below a certain pixel count on the screen, say around 615px. I’m not sure if this list accepts attachments, but I’ve attached a simulation of what it looks like. Maybe this is just us? I just wasn’t sure what approach other folks were working on and if anyone had encountered this before…. Thanks again for any thoughts as you have time….I can open a bug if everyone thinks this might be the way to go…. --Tony From: Open-ils-general [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Kathy Lussier Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2015 11:24 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] About Evergreen OPAC for Mobile Devices Hi Tony, There is an existing bug with the My Lists area of the catalog - https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1353509.

Work was also done for Evergreen 2.5 to make most catalog interfaces more responsive, optimizing the display of mobile devices. There may have been some interfaces that we missed, but if there is any screen that isn't displaying well on a mobile device, I recommend filing a bug in Launchpad at https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen to let the developers know. There's a nice blog post about the project at http://evergreen-ils.org/hackaway13-mobile-catalog/. I hope this helps!

Will it meet the technical specifications for the Web and mobile presence, ensure that each device-based mobile application meets all five WCAG 2.0 conformance requirements? For the purposes of this standard, requirements of applying to Web pages equally applying to device-based mobile applications screens, such as Web Experience Toolkit (WET4)?
