Mojo as native app in tablets and desktop

Hi,

I have specific requirement wherein i am looking at to start with a Sales Application which shall run as a native app under tablets and desktop browser extension / standalone app.

It is my intention to use a CMS for all heavy lifting and at the same time sit as a native app as mentioned above.

Is mojo the right candidate for this business case?

Regards

Re: Mojo as native app in tablets and desktop

mojoPortal is a web application, and I would say that it's not appropriate as a self-contained application. To run it locally you'd have to be running IIS on the workstation/laptop/tablet, and access it through a browser.

Re: Mojo as native app in tablets and desktop

Thank you for the reply. If you don't mind i have a query.

Is it possible to develop a native ipad app (for local storage) which talks to my mojo server and serves the users?

If yes, where do i start?

I don't have any experience with Apple development, but perhaps someone else here can help you out.

Re: Mojo as native app in tablets and desktop

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. I have been working on this integration strategy for the last 2-3 days and looks like i see some light at the end of the tunnel. But still would like to take concurrence with the masters. I humbly request you to take a look at the url and advise me accordingly. I went through the mojoportal api doc and saw webservices documentation there. Does these webservices support json? Does this mean i can use mojoportal's webservices to extend my applications to desktop and mobiles/tablets?

Grateful for your time and feedback.

Regards

Re: Mojo as native app in tablets and desktop

mojoPortal does not have a comprehensive set of web services, so if you are looking to make native UI that replicates all existing features you are not going to find services for that included.

We do have an AuthenticationService and a RoleService, which could probably be used for authenticating users and determining their roles from a native IOs app. You could build your own web services for whatever custom functionality you are trying to build.

We also have support for metaweblog api which can be used for making blog posts and as of recent code can also be used for creating and editing cms pages with html content feature. We use it to support Windows Live Writer but you could use that api from a custom app. Our implementation of metaweblog api is extended with a few extra wordpress api methods that are supported by Live Writer, this is how pages can be edited since the standard metaweblog api is just for blog posts. These extensions ar eonlyin th elatest code in our source code repository at the moment.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Thank you for the reply and pointers. The existing webservices will certainly help me guide in building for the custom features.
