Mobile Web Junkie

I mentioned in a previous post that I’d written an article on the cake bakery about how to mobilize an existing website or application by just downloading the code, signing up for a dev key and following the instructions.

But whilst my plugin works perfectly, it’s missing a helper to actually build the WAPL for you. So I was really impressed when I saw that Gordon Pettey had written his own article on the bakery using mine for a bit of inspiration that not only did everything my plugin did but included a helper!

I’ve tested the code and it works just as expected, so if you’re using CakePHP and want to mobilize your website or app, you should check out his Universal Mobilization with WAPL article.

Whilst I’ve already written a WAPL plugin and article for the CakePHP framework, there are plenty of other frameworks that are crying out to have WAPL plugins written for them.

So I was really pleased that developer stevena0 has written one for the Django framework.

If you’re using Django and want a mobile version of your application you’ve now got a great tool to do it – to find out more and also how to use the plugin, take a look at Steve’s Mobilize your Django site post on the snippets site.
