Best Practices Validating WordPress Mobile Plugin

Posted on November 14, 2006 by miker

I was fooling around with the Mobile Web Best Practices Validator, and the WordPress plugin wasn’t doing some stuff it expected. So here’s a version that does. I just got the main page working, there’s probably other stuff in there. And I hacked in a control in the version on my blog so I could force the mobile version. Check it. We need to hack that validator to impersonate mobile browsers too. Maybe tomorrow night.

    I would be more careful with considering W3C the authority on mobile web. Just check what Luca Pasani (expert on mobile web and founder of WURFL – see http://wurfl.sourceforge.net) has to say about it at http://www.passani.it/gap/intro.htm.

    More careful than what? They put up a validator, I made a version of a WordPress plugin that validates through it. I don’t think I said anything about authority anywhere.

    This plugin works well overall, better than some as its detecting windows mobile phones that others have isues with.

    However – it doesn’t seem to render any of the text in from a static page in wordpress – only the posts.

    Any ideas why?

    Thanks.

    Have you made any new hacks to it? It’s working pretty good, but you havn’t updated since November.
