We’ve been busy at Wapple Towers lately – creating a new image processor that make your Canvas powered sites look even better, allowing you to retain your brand that much more impressively!

We now take advantage of mobile handsets browser capabilities – if they support transparent PNGs, and you’ve uploaded one, we deliver it. And we’ve increased the quality of images that are delivered too, so if you have a good quality PNG at around 1000px wide, you’ll get some stunning results on your mobile site.

Ever since we first created Wapple Architect, you could use it to integrate with Wapple Canvas features. In fact, loading a menu built with Canvas onto an Architect site was one of the first operations we ever performed with our fledging new mobile markup language.

But as we’ve improved the Architect schema, one area of documentation we’ve sadly neglected was telling you how to use these advanced Canvas features in your WAPL.

Filed under: Canvas Changelog, Changelog, Development, Wapple Canvas

Ever since Wapple Canvas was created, there have been rules.

Rules to check if videos are supported, rules to check for active campaigns, rules to check for specific screen sizes.

Of course we have hundreds of others, but something missing from all of them was the ability to have customizable rules to specify your own test criteria.

Filed under: Canvas Changelog, Changelog, Development, Wapple Canvas

If you’ve been using Wapple’s technology for a while, you’ll know that we’ve long had support for 2D barcodes and QR codes.

But we’ve recently integrated with Microsoft to produce another, more visually rich alternative – Microsoft Tag.

Wapple Microsoft Tag Microsoft Tag’s are clusters of coloured triangles that hold encoded data and work exactly the same was as 2D barcodes. If your mobile phone has support natively for barcodes, or if you’ve installed an app to read them, just point your camera at it and it’ll read the data.

Tidy URLs for Wapple Canvas Powered Mobile Sites

No comments yet
Filed under: Canvas Changelog, Changelog, Development, Wapple Canvas

Previously on Wapple Canvas powered mobile sites, URLs weren’t the prettiest or most SEO friendly they could be.

Sure, you could insert text at the start of the URL and create a shortcode to identify your site, but essentially, everything was managed and displayed with pretty ugly looking variables.

But that has all changed.

We’ve introduced a new feature into Wapple Canvas called Tidy URLs that allow you to configure, at a page level, the URL that page will have.
