Editing with iPad
PermalinkSo I got a question from a Japanese user if we can edit concrete5 sites on iPad.
I've tried once with my friend's iPad 3G, but I couldnt' edit it.
The pop-up menu over blocks didn't work properly.
Since I don't own an iPad yet, can anyone confirm about this, and / or necessary modification required?
I think we can no longer ignore iPad... so I think we may want to make sure that the people can edit article on their iPad.
I'm going to buy a iPad as soon as I get back to Japan in July... and I also want to be able to edit concrete5 on my iPad as well.
Thanks
The problem I was finding was the the box opened up but the text was in a smaller box
all the the text is here in code format so what I do is select all>>cut and then past into a HTML editor I'm using visual eye as it give you the code and what it will look like the just sellect all and cut and past back in its no good if you don't know HTML but I'm sure you can work out the text and edit that leaving the tags alone
does anyone know a workaround for e.g. the content block? thx.
I planned a gift around having it long enough to fix this issue, but it ended up falling through and i returned the ipad(which came from china) to the local mac store un-opened.
So those were my efforts, and I don't think I'll be getting an ipad in the foreseeable future :(, though it would be cool to get editing working on it.
I have tried to edit my site on it once but it didnt work out. Oh well...
Here is a list of the Web Apps I tried:
Atomic Web Broswer Lite (did not work)
iLunescape (not work)
Terra (no go)
Fanta Browser (yuck!)
iSourceBrowser (no go)
Aarde Web Broswer Lite (no go)
Free BrowserHD (no go)
Ying Yang Free (basic editing but the adds are really annoying)
LastPassTabHD (no go)
Opera for iphone (YUCK!)
BoltHD (works, sort of)
FilerLite (This is a neat App with a built in browser that would also give way to basic-basic editing)

This is available from the app store. To edit a block, press finger on block until edit menu appears. I have updated to the recent OS4. have not test 100%. It appears better than the other suggestions.
We need a theme that look good on the iPad. I find that normal pages run right the the edges. Think we have to pad the entire page for iPad
Good luck.
This is VERY frustrating!! C5 Folks: Is there nothing we can do about this??
the issue here is not with concrete5 it is with the iPad, and how it manages click events within web editors, the issue goes beyond TinyMCE, which is what c5 uses. ckEditor and other editors have the same kind of problem. Hopefully the issue will be fixed at the root or the smart folks at either editor team will figure out a workaround. For the time being, the TinyMCE development group has actually added added detection logic for iPhone/iPad so that TinyMCE doesn't get initialized on these devices.http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=21314....
So the long and the short of it is that this is an Apple issue, and not something that the C5 team is likely going to be able to correct.
modernizr framework could be helpful here (MIT license).
just grabbed building iphone apps with html, css and js. more thought for iphone, but lots of useful tips. Think the iphone tut by andrew got inspire by this one ;)
thanks
