Mobile Kit Pro: Blog List View and Character Set

Hi Joe,

I am testing and skinning mkp for a customer and I noticed the following issues:

  1. Blog Settings > List View Settings: it shows always one news/excerpt regardless of the "Entries To Show/Page Size" settings
  2. International characters in page title aren't shown as in the web skin (i.e. "à" accented-a is presented as ascii code à ); this may be just a skin issue.

Are there any settings to overcome these problems ?

Thanks

Diego

Hi Diego,

The Blog setting can be adjusted, but unless you have really short blog posts I think it is a better mobile experience to have only one post shown at a time. See this part of theme.skin file:

 

<blog:BlogDisplaySettings runat="server" 
UseBottomNavigation="true"
HideCalendar="true"
HideFeedLinks="true"
HideStats="false"
BlogViewUseBottomDate="true"
BlogViewHideTopPager="true"
BlogViewHideBottomPager="false"
ArchiveViewHideFeedbackLink="true"
HideTopSideBar="true"
HideBottomSideBar="true"
OverrideListItemHeadingElement=""
PostListForceExcerptMode="false"
PostListForceTitleOnly="false"
PostListUseBottomDate="true"
PostListOverridePageSize="1"
PostListDisableContentRating="false"
DetailViewDisableContentRating="false"
UseBottomContentRating="true"
DisableShowCategories="false"
DisableShowArchives="true"
DisableShowStatistics="true"
/>
 
Regarding the menu, we build the menu as a json string in the mobile menu so the page names are html encoded  but they should display correctly. If you enter &#224; in html markup it should render as à.
 
Hope that helps,
 
Joe

Re: Mobile Kit Pro: Blog List View and Character Set

Thanks Joe,

I agree content for mobile use should never be too long. Nevertheless my customer's site has several blog sections frequently updated. The main page of each Blog instance shows the latest 5 or 10 posts excerpts therefore the page is never too long.

I set PostListOverridePageSize="0" in theme.skin the page size is then controlled by Blog settings.

 

For the page name issue, in Italian accented letters are frequently used in page titles.

At the moment I  am designing the mobile skin using my demo site therefore I set the skin for the PC browser as well. If you visit http://mojoportal.effectiveweb.it/ and check the menu tab of the Skin you can see the issue related to page: http://mojoportal.effectiveweb.it/funzionalit%C3%A0-di-mojoportal.aspx

Regards.

Diego

When I visit that url it prompts me to login, so I'm not able to see tha menu item.

The html encoded characters should render in the browser the same as if they were not encoded.

Re: Mobile Kit Pro: Blog List View and Character Set

Since you confirmed the dll I sent you solved the problem, I've uploaded a new version of Mobile Kit Pro that includes the fix.

Thanks,

Joe
