Hello Ralf,

Great. Thank you. Do you mean setting plans to "completed" by "mark plans"?

Cheers

Hello Kristina,

@plans: I thought both, but marking as completed makes most sense for me.

Great iniative! I would believe we would like to do everything that we now do on a computer. So there would be no difference if one is on a tablet, mobile phone, or a computer. Projects like Twitter's Bootstrap aim at that, as I understand it: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/  / Jonas

Hello Jonas,

Thank you for your feedback. Do you think you want to do everything on a 5" screen that you can do on a 10" or larger screen?

Cheers

Kristina,

Is there any update/progress/more information on what is happening with progressing this further?

Is there anything in the pipeline?

Thanks

Hello Wullie,

Yes, there has been progress and it can be viewed in the responsive design and the device detection that we implemented in Mahara 1.6. If you go to http://demo.mahara.org and use the site with the default green theme on a smartphone or a small tablet, you'll see the responsive design in use. When you turn on the device detection in your account settings, you can then also add blocks to a page without the need of drag'n drop.

Please also see http://manual.mahara.org/en/1.6/misc/mobile.html#new-in-mahara-1-6-mobile-browsing

Has there been any thought about producing an app for Windows mobiles? I recently changed from Android and would like to be able to upload photos from my phone.

Hi Tricia,

It's unlikely that we at Catalyst (the main developers of Mahara) will write a native Windows Phone app anytime soon, because we don't have any Windows development resources in the company.

But, the API that the Mahara Android app uses is open, and it would be quite possible for a third party to write a native Windows Phone app using it, just like the folks at BrightCookie used it to write PortfolioUp for iOS.

Another possibility, is that if Internet Explorer Mobile offers any HTML or Javascript API for accessing pictures or the camera (like these), we could probably include support for that in Mahara itself. From a quick web search I don't see any such API, though. It looks like Windows Mobile blocks direct access to the filesystem from the web browser, which means the normal "upload" screen won't work (just like on iOS).

Cheers,
Aaron
