Wishlist: menu for tablets/mobile users

Post by RLJB »

First let me explain I am not talking about the Aware Mobile option here.

We have taken a different approach that redirects mobile/tablet users to a specific VP that uses a different theme (bigger menus/buttons) and has a different design than the desktop version. There are limitations to this approach but we have managed to work around almost all of them.

This is the one remaining issue:

If a menu has more than 4 or 5 items then it starts to become unworkable ie to fit it into a mobile screen space.

Ideally we would like to be able to implement a menu designed specifically for mobile/table devices. Usually these are activated by a swipe in from the left or hitting a menu button usually displayed in the top right.

We have played around with some javascript/jquery menus and Aware Javascript operations and with some fine tuning it "may" work but really this would be much better as a permanent Aware feature. If Aware was able to offer it as "in built" menu option you would have the ability to attach conditions which is part of the power of Aware.
