Make Your Website Mobile Friendly - Mobile Plugin for Joomla! and Drupal

You know that Joomla! and Drupal are amongst the top 3 Open Source CMS software. But, do you know if your site is mobile friendly? When someone points their mobile device to your website, the display of most of the sites that use Joomla! or Drupal becomes awkward. This was until the Mobile Plugin for Joomla! and Drupal released. Now we have plugins that make the site look neat when a mobile browser browses your site. We are sure this is a great news for mobile browsers as well as website administrators.

Mobile Plugin for Joomla!

An open-source initiative out of Helsinki’s Metropolia University, led by Tino Magi, engineered the plug-in to optimize how Joomla! sites display and navigate on mobile devices. The plug-in, which can be installed easily in three simple steps, automatically resizes and positions content for a very clean read. With a couple more simple steps, you can also configure the plug-in to suit the specific capacities of the mobile device. As a result when you browse a site designed using Joomla! it’s browsing like the web was made for mobile.

Mobile Plugin for Drupal

Developed by the open source community, the Drupal mobile plugin is an elegant solution that adapts Drupal web content for small screen display and browsing. Its not only easy to install and ready-to-run on any mobile device but is also configurable to make the most of a particular device’s capabilities. The plug-in features automatic device-detection, allowing site configurations to target particular device groups or even particular devices. It also provides an option to override the device-detection.

The developers behind these project had support from Forum Nokia, whose mission is to connect developers to tools, technical information, support, and distribution channels they can use to build and market applications around the globe.
