Getting Started
|
| First of all you need to create a new portal. |
 |
|
On the Mobile Portal add the SDN Login PocketPC module on the Home page, you'll need it to link to the Login module, since the skin of the Mobile Devices does not have it to prevent the Users to get registered to the Mobile Portal. The SDN Login PocketPC module also does the synchronisation of the Users between the 2 Portals. |
 |
|
You can delete all the other default modules created during the creation of the new portal. |
| Now on the Desktop Portal to set up the Portal that will be the Mobile Portal, go to SDN Store Admin --> Set up --> Site Settings, type the HTTP Alias of the Mobile Portal, Host UserName and Host Password. Make sure the Mobile Portal is empty and not used, since after this procedure the Users of the Mobile Portal will be synchronised with the Users of the Desktop Portal. |
 |
| On the new Mobile Portal, upload and set a skin and a container designed for the Mobile Devices. An example of a skin can be downloaded here, while an example of a container can be downloaded here. You should have something like this:
|
 |
|
Log on with the UserName and Password of the admin of the Desktop Portal. |
|
Design the layout of the Mobile Portal. This could be done using a Desktop Computer keeping in mind it has to fit the size of a Pocket PC. |
|
First of all add the SDN Products List module, which will update the system and create the SDN Store Tabs. |
|
The following example show the Products List Module which shows the Category in a Table Format, 2 per column. This settings are specific for the Mobile Portal. Only the data, that is Categories and Products are picked up from the Desktop Portal. |
|
PLEASE NOTE, if you're using the Desktop PC to se up the Mobile Portal, some settings do not take effect immediate on the Pocket PC, because they are stored in some Session Variables and for some reasons they are reset on the desktop PC but not on the Pocket PC, so click on: Tool --> Options --> Security --> Clear Cookies --> Refresh the Page. |
 |
|
In the same way you have designed the layout of the SDN Store Pages of the Desktop Portal, you can design the one of the Mobile Portal. |
