Proposal Abstract:
Roller is a full-featured, multi-user and group-blog server suitable for blog sites large and small. It has features such as multi-user and group blogging, comment moderation, spam prevention, RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 support. In nutshell roller is a blogging engine.
Mobile browsers are starting to eclipse desktop web browsing and, unfortunately, most Roller themes do not work well on small-format mobile devices. This project will address this shortcoming by modifying the Roller blog rendering system to support mobile-ready blog theme templates, and providing one example theme that uses these features in combination with HTML5 to show full-sized pages to desktop browser users and small format pages to mobile users.
Requirements
- Identify and differentiate request from desktop user agent to mobile user agent.
- Ability to specify user preference for mobile theme or full theme (Desktop) as default theme.
- Render mobile theme if user preferred mobile theme and request comes from a mobile device.
- Add one HTML5 mobile theme as a sample.
Issues
- How to detect the possible matches for mobile devices in HTTP header user agent.
- Efficient way to manage and maintain possible devices list for new mobile devices added in the future.
- How to render the mobile theme.(Do we let the theme designers to implement their own mobile theme or one theme to act in both ways.)
- Basic information that is to display in mobile template
- Feature to be added to the HTML5 template.(Client side storage , media etc.)
Design
List and describe new manager methods, Struts actions, JSP pages, macros, etc.
