Mobile Portal

Provide a simple portal for access from devices with low bandwidth/screen sizes/ CPU.

This acts like the '/m' version of popular websites.

This should be light on AJAX (if present at all).

This can use the existing RESTlike CRUD controller's ?format=plain to generate lightweight forms.

Status

session.s3.mobile boolean is populated by a quick check on the Browser in models/00_settings.py.

session.s3.browser Storage of capabilities is populated by a detailed check on the Browser in models/00_settings.py.

These can be used to direct to appropriate pages - e.g. assess/create goes to assess_short_mobile

the values to be populated in session.s3.browser has to be set in features (an instance of storage) in models/00_settings.py under definition of populate_browser_compatibility() function.

the complete listing of available features detected by pywurfl is as follows.
