About
Mobile Plugin is an open-source community project initiated by Timo Magi and Helsinki's Metropolia University with support from Forum Nokia.

Because Joomla! has become such a popular CMS in the last years, we felt it would be helpful to create an extension to make Joomla sites look and work better on mobile devices. Installing the Mobile Plugin improves the browsing experience on any mobile device, but it also gives you configuration options to customize the plug-in for optimal performance on particular devices.

Current features of the Mobile Plugin allow you to:
  • Dynamically resize images based on device properties
  • Force page compression
  • Selectively remove tables, iframes, objects, embeds, images, videos, scripts or applets.
  • Replace videos, tables or long articles with links.
  • Chop long articles to fit different size screens.
With our latest version update (v0.91) we added:
  • Legacy support
  • Auto-check for updates
  • and other minor enchantments
And for future updates we are planning:
  • Automatic video encoding based on device attributes
  • Resizing of flash videos
  • Better mobile ad support
  • Conversion of map embeds to static images
  • Google maps and Yahoo maps capability

Mobile Plugin is an open-source project, and we hope developers will take it as their own to add to and improve. Send us your questions, comments or new ideas.
