Mobile Web Junkie

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.

Following hot on the heels of our efforts with URLs for Wapple Canvas powered mobile sites, we’ve created another chunk that should help you SEO your sites to the max.

We’ve created a Sitemap chunk, which displays links to all pages on your site, alphabetically, with nice URLs (if you have it turned on).

You might have noticed, but Wapple Canvas has had a makeover just in time for summer.

Everything has had an update looks wise, we’ve improved some JavaScipt (new date picker, new colour picker) and we’ve even added a check on every page so if you’ve made changes, it’ll ask you if you want to navigate away.

We’ve made some big changes to our help system inside of Wapple Canvas.

Whenever you’re on a page or chunk inside of Canvas and you look at the help associated with it (it’s in the left hand menu), you now get a help window appear with your help inside it. No more having to browse to a different page, it’s all on the same page.

What would be a great addition to Wapple Canvas?

Reporting for Quizzes

A new chunk – Questionnaires, that allows question grouping and question numbering

Integration for both with Wapple forms so you get an optimized user experience.

All of the above

The form above is fake. But luckily for you, the correct answer is “All of the above”!

We’ve made it even easier in Wapple Canvas to deliver your uploaded graphics as downloadable wallpapers.

Upload a source graphic, create a Graphic Wallpaper chunk on your page, and configure it how you want – your users will be able to view and download a perfectly sized wallpaper to their handset. And that’s every handset with any screensize!

Head over to Wapple Canvas, log in, and start uploading your wallpapers to check it out!

If you have a video uploaded to any of the likes of YouTube or Vimeo, we’ve written a new chunk for Wapple Canvas that will allow you to show it to the whole mobile world.

It’s called the Video Link chunk – login in Canvas and add one to a page to see it in action!

If it’s a YouTube video you want to show, a thumbnail is generated automatically, but for other video sharing websites, you can specify the location for an accompanying picture.

If you have an iPhone, videos will display with a play button on, allowing you to play the video with the native controls on the phone. Anything else and you get forwarded to the URL – of course when other handsets add functionality in for video playback, we’ll update the chunk!
