Best RT template for Mobile and Desktop view?

Posted 14 years 8 months ago
- I would like to build a site that will translate well on desktop as well as on mobile smartphone.
  
  Which RT template can do this well? Does it have auto detect agent (sorry if it doesn't make sense, I'm a low level techie)?
  
  Or would you suggest I build a desktop version and mobile version separately?

- I have decided to go with wordpress using RT templates and a separate mobile site with wpTap.
  
  Is it a wise move, especially for SEO on mobie and desktop?

- Currently Gantry templates support iPhones (auto detect).
  
  Other will be developed, but not currently available at this point.

- Cool.... I was eyeing on the Dominion Wordpress template.
  
  I had problems previously using mobile templates elsewhere whereby it works fine on iPhone but does not scroll on Android phone.
  
  Anybody can confirm that this mobile redirect will work just as fine on Android phone?
  
  If not supported for Android browser, what is the estimated time you guys can get it running for Android?
  
  P.S. I saw here ( www.gantry-framework.org/documentation/j...ser-specific-control ) that the Android browser platform is supported on Gantry but the guide is filed under "Joomla". Is Gantry on Wordpress will be able to support Android browser?

- How do you view the mobile version of a JOOMLA / RocketTheme site without actually doing it from the device? I have a Droid and the Gantry/RT template I'm using has an iPhone only auto detect. How can I see what my settings produce w/o an iPhone?

- Might have found one solution but I'm thinking there's a way within the RT template...
  
  To spoof iPhone’s Safari using Safari in Windows or Mac OS X, run Safari, click on Edit -> Preference, then go to Advanced tab. Check the checkbox for Show Develop menu in menu bar option.
  
  Exit from the Preference dialog window, a new “Develop” menu will show in the menu bar. Click on Develop, and then select User Agent in the pull down menu. Click to select Mobile Safari 4.02 iPhone or any of the other settings there. Also has iPad and iPod user agents

- Any Gantry based template as they all work on the iPhone with support coming for other mobile devices (no ETA at this point).
  
  You can view your site with one of these:

- That's what I was thinking ... and later discovered by reading links above.
  
  Just curious about the Droid and Blackberry phones as well.
  
  THanks for the emulator!
