one way is you could add this setting in user.config

<add key="AllowMobileSkinForNonMobile" value="true" />

so that the mobile view link can be shown even if the mobile device is not detected, assuming that the desktop skin has the link in layout.master:

<portal:MobileSkinLink ID="mobileskin" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="true" />

then you could switch to mobile view from the desktop web browser and the edit link will be there

another way at least for Html content feature, admins and content admins should be able to edit it from content manager

Ok, we could add a config setting to show mobile modules to admins/content admins, but toggling that setting would be recycling the app each time by touching web.config which I think would be undesireable.

What if we had a setting for MobileVisibleRoles that you could put in user.config, then say you create a custom role MobileEditors and put that as the setting, then changing back and forth between seeing them and not seeing them could be toggled by adding the user to the role or removing the user to the role. So when admins want to see it they would just add themselves to the MobileEditors role and when they were done they could remove themselves from the role. This role would not affect who can edit it would only affect whether the mobile module is shown on the non mobile page for that user.

Would something like that be a workable solution for you?

ok, after the next release it will be possible to add an appSetting RolesThatAlwaysViewMobileContent with semi colon separated role names. if you always want to see it you could put Admins;Content Administrators or you could use a custom role to more easily toggle a user in and out of the role to change their view.

Hope that helps,

Joe
