This is rather important as we are about to order leaflets with QR codes that need to point to mysite.com/about
Thanks!
I created that page as you instructed, however if you notice the URL is not geek.zone/about it is geek.zone/cp-57 - it's an entirely different page. I need all users, registered or unregistered, to be able to navigate to geek.zone/about and get given the about page, irrespective of the device they are using. At the moment, if you go to geek.zone/about on a mobile device, you get the error message
This page cannot be opened in mobile version, please visit desktop version of this site
I would ask you to register on the site so that I can make you an admin, but am still having difficulties with the emails as per the "from email" discussion
Surely this is a fairly basic thing to be able to do? Literally every other content management system can do that.
Is this not something that oxwall can do? Is there a work-around? For us, it is critical that this works.
What you want to achieve is considered as a custom code modification. You will need to do that on your own or hire a programmer who could do that for you. You can do that here: http://www.oxwall.org/market/specialists
What you are effectively saying is that one currently must maintain two sites within the same site, and that mobile users cannot use Semantic URLs! In 2015, that's just not good enough.
With Google now prioritising sites that have a proper mobile version of all their content, it is critical that oxwall serves all content in desktop and mobile. Pages must be available on the same address and must not be different entities. This is not something that should be left to individual users to request custom code modifications, it must urgently be implemented as part of the oxwall core. Is there an official procedure I can use to request that to happen quickly?
if it gets enough voices from other community members our team will consider implementing it.
In the meantime you may consider obtaining one of the responsive themes available in the store, you may disable mobile version and use responsive theme for mobile users as well, this way you can keep the same pages for every users.
Just so that you know where I'm coming from, we want to produce leaflets and beer mats that say "Come to Pint Night - see Geek.Zone/PintNight for more info". Obviously most people will be in pubs etc and so will be on their phones. We therefore need that address to work on the mobile version. I am certainly not alone in this requirement.
If you cannot suggest a solution, or give a time-frame on when this will be implemented within the oxwall core, we will need to remove oxwall and look for something else.
For example, if you go to some user profile on desktop and mobile version you can see that that the URL is the same, because this feature (user profile) has been implemented in the mobile version as well.
James I can suggest you two options, either you obtain the responsive theme or, you create such a page (about, for example) only in mobile version and change it url from cp_57 to about, manually in the database, if you're interested, let me know I'll give you the instructions.
If user profiles can be uniform across different devices, why can't pages?
Mobile content is the driver of the internet today. It would appear, however, that oxwall attitudes toward it are stuck in the past. If oxwall is to survive, this must change now.
Having a separate mobile version is not compatible with the new mobile rules that google has put in place so is not appropriate any more.
It is really disappointing that the lack of such a basic basic feature lets down the rest of what is otherwise great software. In any case, it's working now and we launched the site, so I'm happy!
