MOBILE SITE EDITOR

Sites built with Eclipse are generated using a responsive framework. In practical terms, all our
websites will look great on any device without further effort.

Moreover, in addition to the site HTML skeleton being responsive, most widgets will render
differently on smartphones, assuming a Mobile Application is included in the package. For
example, a Contact Us widget will display a contact form when rendered on a desktop, but on a
smartphone, the same widget will be transformed into a button, which will expand into a
mobile friendly contact form with a single finger tap.

In addition, certain Controllers behave differently on the mobile site (both on creative and
quick modes):

Tabs - changes to an accordion.


Column divider - The widgets which were inside a column divider in desktop mode are
displayed one under the other in all mobile modes. Moreover, the columns widget will
not be available in the editor in mobile mode.

Quick Mobile Mode

When a site is created, the Mobile Editor starts off in Quick mobile mode.

This means that the mobile site is generated automatically based on the desktop site. The user
cannot change the look and feel of the mobile site, nor can they change or add to the sites
content (widgets, menu items etc.). Changes can only be done to the desktop site, causing the
mobile site to change accordingly.

Creative Mobile Mode

In order to separate the mobile version of the site from the desktop version, the user has to
switch to Creative Mode in the Mobile Editor by clicking on the Switch to Creative mode
button:
The first time the site is switched to creative mode, the user will be asked to choose between
two starting points:

Edit with current content


Build it from scratch

After choosing the starting point, the Mobile Editor will allow the user to add/remove pages,
change the position of existing widgets or delete them altogether, to add new widgets to the
mobile canvas, etc.
It is possible to switch back to Quick Mobile mode at any time, simply by clicking on the Switch
to quick mode button.

Upon switching back to Quick Mode, the mobile site will once again reflect the current state of
the desktop site. However, the creative version of the site will be saved and the user will be
able to switch back to Creative Mode without losing any of the dedicated content and layout.

When trying to perform a creative task in quick mobile mode (e.g. dragging and dropping
widgets, deleting a page, etc.), an error message will indicate that it is only possible to perform
these actions in Creative mode.
Creative Mobile Mode and Page Modules

Module pages behave differently than widgets on standard pages. Modules will always be
linked to the same content repository regardless of whether the user works in Quick or Creative
Mode.

Moreover, even if the module page was created after separating the desktop site from the
mobile site, creating a mobile module page will display the content of the desktop module
page.

Similarly, when creating a new module page for the first time in the mobile version of the site
and subsequently creating the same module page on the main (desktop) version, the desktop
page will display the content already created while working in mobile.

Note: any changes that will be made in the Module pages, will be update automatically
to the live site without pressing the Publish button
