I've been looking all over for this type of Mod, because it would be useful for visitors to my site to have a PDA Version of the site available. Is there any code out there that allows this?< |

A while ago someone else had started a PDA version of Snitz. I don't think they ever really released the code thought... A search for "Pocket PC" should turn it up. You may have to look in the archives though, since I can't rightly remember when it was posted. HTH< |

I'm trying to code a mobile version. I can view the site on my Treo 700wx, but I kinda want a cleaner look. vBulletin had a decent PDA Template of their BB code.< |

the overhead is mainly in terms of coding since you can't use the same code/templates for both normal browsers and PDA browsers, admittedly there isn't much, but when you have a lot of files it can still be a big headache to ensure they are all in sync, the positive side is that you don't really need to duplicate all pages to use the forum on a mobile device, it only needs a subset of pages like a mobile version of active.asp plus a post page, it doesn't need all the other pages really.< |

May as well, the server overhead is negligible (in theory at least) and means it should work seamlessly with the downstream browsers!< |

Better still would be a mobile-specific (limited functionality) version, a bit like comparing ebay.co.uk with ebaymobile.co.uk, if you were feeling creative ;)
No it doesn't use the mobile controls, but it should be easy to accomplish with a new set of templates.< |

Snitz forums view fine on my windows mobile device (T-mobile Dash). In fact I am viewing/replying to this thread on my Dash.< |

I don't believe there is at the moment - it would take a rethink to make it small-screen-friendly, but I agree it's a good idea - I don't suppose you fancy making one?< |
