Mobile Theme and Theme Switcher for Mango Blog

Since couple of days I was reviewing jQuery Mobile and really impress with work it make it easy for us. Now it was time to create practical implementation of it. Since long time I was looking for mobile theme for our blog but didn’t find any and I believe it is because of Mango Blog doesn’t allow us to switch theme (skin) on request also looking into code I realise that all skin related information stored at Application level and changing for any visitor will affect everyone who visit blog.

To make Mango blog for mobile device compatible I created one theme using jQuery Mobile and plugin to change theme whenever request come from mobile device.

Theme

Name : mobile

Installation : Download and extract it. Copy and paste (FTP) folder ‘mobile’ to skin directory in your blog.

Plugin

Installation : Use http://www.cfminds.com/assets/content/plugins/mobiletheme.zip URL for installtion from Admin area.

NOTE: Please note that Mango blog doesn’t support to change theme at request level instead store value at Application level. There is no possible perfect solution to switch theme at request level using plugin. I will not recommend to use this plugin on heavy trafic blog although load tested for 4 to 5 simultanous users and normally work fine.
