Add any comments or questions regarding the How to Create an iPhone App with OWS tutorial from Issue 50

Great tutorial, however, I cannot seem to get the redirect to work. I have the iPhone page running with holding text because I will use it to display video. However, when I surf to my site on my iPhone with the new redirect in place it doesn't redirect me.

I was wondering about the placement of that module, I have a three column layout so I cannot put it the top of the content area, directly. I put it in the top of the left hand pane. I do have two ad panes but I don't want to stick it up there because the  content managers will get snippy about how the layout looks when they log in and it jacks the whole page apart.

Could it be my placement is killing the redirect? Any tips on that? I used the code provided.

The redirect should work, no matter where you place it, because it's based on the user agent in the browser viewing the page. Have you checked your debug of the module when you hit it with your iPhone? What is happening when the IF statement runs that determines the UserAgent? Is it evaluating to True or False? If False and you are testing to see if useragent contains iphone, then you likely have a type in your if statement. If it is true and still not redirecting, check you General tab in the OWS config to make sure "skip redirects" is not set. Finally, for testing purposes, you could create a NoQuery template in the config containing [UserAgent,System] and it will display the client browser type right on your page

Hi,

I was wondering how you get around the problem of the Edit/Admin skin being a different skin to the normal skin. For example - on my main portal I have my full blown view and edit skin.

But... my iphone app has a very slim skin - however, when I click on a module action (like Add Content) - my iphone pages load the FULL edit skin. How do you get around this problem? (you can read more here http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community...fault.aspx )

Hi, For some reason my simple sample app renders a little too wide, so you have to scroll over a bit in vertical iPhone view. If I flip the phone to horizontal it looks great. Any ideas?

What about the Droid. Is it the same CSS and how to I capture the Redirect for the Droid?

Is there a newer Iphone Skin Zip file. ON DNN 6.2 installed the Skin as shown in the Video but I can not assign it to the Iphone Page. I can see it when I look at ADMIN-->Skins but it states that it's "This is a Legacy Skin" and "No Skin Files Exist In Folder" yet i can see the Iphone folder and the files in the folder.

The zip file has the included files in the wrong place.

Uninstall the skin.

Take all of the files out of the iPhone directory, and place them in the top level of the zip file.

Delete the now empty iPhone directory.

Now you can install the zip file as a skin. You will need to select the radio button to specify a skin file when you install.
