As you can see, a template can completely change the look, feel, and complexity of your Joomla! web pages. Even the same template can be congured in a completely different manner than someone else may choose to. Picking the right template for your project can dramatically cut down on project time and expense, as well as offer you these additional multimedia features out-of-the-box. The majority of new professional Joomla! Templates contain menu options, colored themes, and complex CSS. This means that the majority of well-built extensions that you add to your site will integrate into your template easily, and pick up appropriate template styling. • • • • This material is copyright and is licensed for the sole use by jackie tracey on 23rd February 2010 953 Quincy Drive, , Brick, , 08724 Chapter 8 [ 243 ] The mobile web The term "mobile web" refers to web browser based services that are viewed using a mobile device such as a mobile phone, PDA, iPhone, and so on. The number of mobile web users is increasing each year, and an entry on the popular Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Web, mentions: "In 2008, the total number of mobile web users grew past the total number of PC-based Internet users for the rst time". This may come as a shock to some who have not utilized the mobile web service before, and to us as developers / administrators, it is important to note.

Templates and Multimedia [ 244 ] In the early days of mobile web devices, the only way to surf the mobile web was to browse using WAP sites. Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is a secure specication that allows users to access information instantly via handheld wireless devices. WAP uses Wireless Markup Language (WML) as its primary markup language. As the mobile web has evolved, WML has been superseded by a number of other technologies. The new technology standard is now Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML). XHTML is an extensible markup language that was designed as a subset of XML. This was to promote greater interoperability and the possibility of using standard XML tools to parse XHTML. Most mobile devices now recognize two avors of XHTML: XHTML: The same markup language as is used by desktop web browsers XHTML—MP: The MP stands for mobile phone One of the medium's greatest restrictions is that the mobile web still suffers from accessibility and usability issues. For example, mobile devices tend to have small screens making it hard to t content into. Some devices try to mimic web browsers but still have the need to zoom in and out of web pages. Others face restrictions to run certain software, such as the Adobe Flash Player. And then there is the abundance of formats and connection issues. • • This material is copyright and is licensed for the sole use by jackie tracey on 23rd February 2010 953 Quincy Drive, , Brick, , 08724 Chapter 8 [ 245 ] Web developers are only now starting to consider taking the time to look into this subject and what can be done to make their websites usable to mobile web viewers. As Joomla! users, we have a number of testing procedures and options available. When developing for PC-based World Wide Web viewing, as developers, we need to take into consideration different web browsers and screen resolutions. When developing for the mobile web, there are even more considerations to take into account. This is mainly due to the large number of operating systems and screen sizes available on mobile devices. Making your site mobile friendly The main purpose of your website is to deliver your content to your audience as easily as possible, while allowing them to (hopefully) enjoy the experience. With most Joomla! Templates having been designed for desktop viewing, little consideration is often paid to the growing audience of mobile web users. A number of methods can be implemented to adjust your site, making it more suitable for the mobile web medium: Mobile users tend to be online to get information quickly and it is important to make this process as easy as possible for them. While your Joomla! Template might contain hundreds of graphics when viewed in a desktop-browser, and look very smart and stylish, mobile web users may be "out and about" and may simply want links to take them to the information they require. This generally means that a simplication of the content is required and often preferred for mobile web users.

Templates and Multimedia [ 246 ] Consider these adjustments One of your best opportunities to developing a mobile-friendly Joomla! website is to begin with a well-formatted HTML valid codebase for your template, built with logical semantic markup. A well-structured code document will display cleanly, load in elements in an organized order, and should be usable on many devices due to the valid and well-organized code. Areas of importance One of the most important visual hotspots in your Joomla! Template will be the top-left zone. This is quite often where logos reside. Take note that you want mobile web users to be able to navigate easily and not zoom in and out or scroll all over your site page just to nd a menu link. So if you are creating a custom mobile version of your website content, look for that top-left area to place a main navigation or a search function: The previous image displays a web template for a PC based web browser, and a separate site template available for handheld devices.
