[Plugin: WordPress Mobile Pack] Working Fine on WP 2.8.2

I recently added this theme to my site. I have a Blackberry Curve and it loads so much quicker then before. I love the theme and the features. Works perfectly!

A must have, even if you do not have a smartphone, your visitors may.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I’ve updated the readme since it’s now been fully tested on 2.8.4 (especially given this weekend’s security issues)

I like it. Works good on Blackberry 8900. Only thing I don’t like is having to change the permissions on the folders / files. Seems it is the only plugin I have to do this on.

Hi there

The only reason to change the permissions on the theme files is that the plugin automatically copies the files over as part of the install (to save you the hassle). You can also move them over manually if you wish.

There is a cache directory that is used for storing resized images. I’m afraid there’s not really much I can do about that: the purpose of a cache is to store them to disk, so it needs to be writable!

Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

hey James? is there anything I can do to display my custom fields in the mobile theme?

thanks.

Hi there,

There is currently no built-in way to display custom fields (although it’s quite a good idea!).

You will need to add them to the mobile theme. I just refactored these a little, so before you start, I would recommend you get v1.1.9 or later.

The plugin installs its own themes, so once installed, go and edit the files in /themes/mobile_pack_base/… The main function for displaying a post is wpmp_theme_post inside index.php. You could put your fields somewhere in or around:

print '<p class="entry">';
    the_content('Read more');
    print '</p>';

I hope that makes sense… good luck.

Oh, and when you upgrade the plugin in the future, you’ll want to make sure you either a) don’t upgrade the themes to overwrite your changes, or b) reapply your changes to the new version of the themes each time.

Thanks
James

thanks James. It makes sense. I’m not a PHP savvy so let’s say my custom field name is “thumbnail” how would I print out the value?

In my theme, it looks like that

If statement here…

<?php $key="thumbnail"; echo stripslashes(get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true)); ?>

end if.

I tried that, it didn’t work.
