iPhone Update

No not the 1.1.1 firmware update that must have just been released after I left the house this morning, I’m talking about Mobile Admin for the iPhone.

Jared and I will be releasing a major update to the UI, some key updates:

  • Better UI for those Wordpress 2.2 users (upgrade already, it’s been out for 3 days)
  • Major overhaul on the dashboard. I hate that list of links too
  • Overhaul in style on the posts page
  • Text Overflow
  • …some other minor tweeks.

While working on the CSS today I notice one major property that the iPhone does not support, even though Safari 3 does, contrary to what this article states, appearance does not work on iPhone’s Safari even with the webkit prefix. It was a big deal for me because it would have solved a lot of the issues I have with our approach to skinning the admin UI.

Jared and I were talking last night and he’s got some great plans for the plugin and I’m looking forward to how it unfolds.

  • That sounds great Dan! Thanks!

    Jared: I have an iPod Touch (Safari).

    Jason: Check out version 1.1, it should be out this afternoon.
  • Dan
    Looks like we need to add "iPod" to the list of useragents.

    useragents = "iPhone","iPod"
  • Jason, are you doing this from an iPhone or iTouch device, or from another browser?
  • I have tried it, but when I click on "Switch to Mobile Admin View", it takes me to the normal Dashboard. I would love to use this plug-in!
  • Dan
    Haven't tried it yet but it should, as far as I know it's the same browser and resolution.
  • Will this work on the iPod Touch?
  • We'll definitely have support for all/most mobile browsers shortly, and then also add extra support for the more popular and capable platforms. WM will definitely be included in that list.

    Hope you ll be releasing the mobile admin on pocket pc (WM6). I know that iPhone is very nice but I prefer WM6. Thanks!
