PDA-plugin for Joomla! 1.5 2007-10-20 12:31:42 In spite of the fact that the final version of Joomla
! 1.5 has not released yet, many already now try to create sites on its basis. Therefore, I often asked in comments to posts and by e-mail for release the version of a PDA-plugin for Joomla! 1.5.
So, the first version of a pda-plugin for Joomla! 1.5 is released. The set of functions is practically identical to functions of a pda-mambot 2.1.2 (but not all functions have passed a full set of tests), but they now are broken into two parts: the part of functions is tuned in options of a pda-plugin, and the part is tuned in options of a pda-template.

Mobile Joomla! for free 2007-10-19 07:20:35 I have returned from my business trip. I was in a boarding house “Volga expanses” near Saratov on coast of the Volga. It was a place of remarkable beauty.
But I’m digressing from the topic. By the present nearby 15 person are actively interested by e-mail when will released MobileJoomla
!. Hence, my earnings could make at least $30. But! I now practically will not have a free time to be engaged in sales and to solve problems concerned with remittance. Therefore I have made a decision to release the current version of the project in parts absolutely free. In particular, tomorrow I’ll release the version of a PDA-plugin for Joomla!1.5 (which asked more often). Nevertheless, if you wish to support this activity mine WebMoney purse Z152066003646 is ready to accept donations.

PDA-mambot Guide 2007-10-29 14:26:20 1. Introduction
The quantity of mobile devices in the world greatly outnumber quantity of desktops in houses and offices, therefore creation of sites convenient for users of mobile devices is not a rarity. And whether your Joomla-site is designed for viewing by means of mobile devices? If no, it is easy to correct it with the pda-mambot.

Google AdSense Mobile module 2007-11-01 10:35:51 Today I release promised “Google
AdSense Mobile
” module from “Mobile Joomla” package. To start earn money from the mobile version of a site, it is enough to set up and publish this module in one of pda-template positions. In parameters it is necessary to specify at least your Google AdSense client ID (like pub-0123456789012345). On the whole it is possible to change following parameters of advertising: (more…)
Discussion of PDA-mambot/plugin 2007-10-31 13:50:27 I suggest to discuss prospects of further development of PDA-mambot/plugin.
I have following ideas:
Definition of browser type with the aid of WURFL library (it will be released in forthcoming version 2.2).
Support of three separate templates for wap, i-mode and wap2/xhtml mobile browsers.
Redirect to a corresponding subdomain for mobile devices.
Opportunity in template parameters to specify a logo and a slogan of a site.
Opportunity to view the mobile version of a site through a virtual directory (i.e. through http://site.com/pda/; it is useful if creation of a subdomain is impossible for any reason).
For Joomla!1.0 - additional postprocessing of generated pages. Probably, to add caching results of postprocessing.
For Joomla!1.5 - to include in a template(s) the changed layout of standard components and modules (that basically is impossible in Joomla!1.0).
A script for check of updates which can be started on the schedule (through cron, for example).
Also it would be quite good to re Read more:Discussion

How to compress WURFL in 1000 times less? 2007-12-01 04:09:26 If you create a site for mobile devices, you need to solve the problem: how to distinguish the user, who has visited a site from a computer, from the user, who has visited a site from the mobile device? There are some scripts, which allow solving this problem:
PHP to detect mobile phones
Lightweight device-detection in PHP
Here is how to detect a mobile device using php
But mobile devices strongly differ by the opportunities. Some devices support only WML, some—mobile XHTML, some (iMode)—cHTML. Moreover, there are some PDAs which fine displays usual HTML. Here the situation is more complex, and exists not so many scripts allowing to distinguish devices on these four groups.

How to make PDA-mambot work for Mambo site? 2007-12-07 08:01:51 As far as I have understood from comments on this site (and even from a separate topic on forum.joomla.org), there is a big interest to the version of a PDA-mambot for Mambo CMS. The matter is that the version for Joomla cannot work in Mambo as the latter does not trigger “OnStart” event. In order to PDA-mambot start working, it is necessary to make changes to a index.php file and to modify slightly a PDA-mambot since in Mambo and Joomla the name of a new template is stored in different variables.

Mobile Joomla 3.0.alpha 2007-12-21 11:35:54 Two days ago, my laptop has broken down; therefore, last versions of all files of developed MobileJoomla
3.0 have been lost. Thankfully, on the other computer it was saved files of ten-day prescription. From here a rule: always duplicate the data and on a regular basis make backups of the most valuable information. I have decided that the best way to duplicate Mobile Joomla files is to upload them to this site. Therefore receive Mobile Joomla 3.0.alpha!
I’ll update as far as possible these files with the indication of updating date and the basic changes.
I ask you to check the Mobile Joomla where only it is possible (in particular, I recommend ready.mobi). And inform me on all found out errors and problems. (more…)
Joomla! 1.5 RC4 2007-12-20 00:38:12 Joomla! 1.5 RC4 — Introducing Karibu:
Just a week and a half ago people from all over the globe gathered in various locations to do a little Bug Squashing… today the fruits of their labour can be revealed as we announce the release of Joomla! 1.5 RC4. This release is code named Karibu which is Swahili for nearby, close, close by, at hand… all terms that we feel reflect the nature of this release.
Karibu marks an important milestone in 1.5’s development, as barring any major issues we believe it will be the last release candidate, with the next release being the big one… Joomla! 1.5 stable.

Mobile devices and SSL 2007-12-18 04:11:11 Recently at a forum.joomla.org, it was raised a question: why it is not possible to visit a site through SSL-connection with the mobile device (really a question was another ). At the same time, all was ОК with a usual (desktop) browser.
After some experiments and search on the Internet I have understood, that the reason of such behavior can be only one: the majority of mobile devices contain only a few basic “root certificates” and not download other from the Internet.

PDA-mambot and "Login Form" module 2007-12-14 05:32:48 Recently the following question is very popular:
When I try to login, I get an error message. Why?
The problem consists of several parts:
If it is specified in options of “Login
Form” module to display a script at login or logout, the PDA cannot process this script and you will see the empty screen (or an error).
The PDA does not support cookies. In this case, Joomla! will display a script and you will see the empty screen (or an error).
The PDA supports cookies, but in full accordance with the standard:
Only hosts within the specified domain can set a cookie for a domain and domains must have at least two (2) or three (3) periods in them to prevent domains of the form: “.com”, “.edu”, and “va.us.” Any domain that fails within one of the seven special top level domains listed below only require two periods. Any other domain requires at least three. The seven special top level domains are: “COM”, “EDU”, “NET&
