Mobile Plugin and The "more" tag | BYOB Thesis Mobile Content Switcher Plugin | Forum

Gidday there Rick

Having a bit of trouble getting the more tag to play nice.  Before placing the code in the content block the excerpt displays on the blog.  After using the  [byob_mobile_switcher block=1] short code the whole article displays on the blog page.  Are you able to find a work around?  And is there any way to have images re-sized when using the content blocks or can they be eliminated.  Just that viewing them on my mobile they appear large.  Or could that be the phone I use?

Hope this finds you well, I noticed you cancelled a couple of Q&A sessions last week.

OK so what I did was left the text as is and placed the EasyFLV video players code and Flowplayer code in the plugin content boxes.

[content block 1] I checked using the Opera mini browser on my phone but still get the message that Flash is not installed and therefore cannot view the video.  This message comes with the EasyFLV player. There is no actual path to the video in the code.  It's all referenced by the swf.js file.

[content block 2] The second video I used the Flowplayer plugin. I'm getting a second message that I need Flash installed but myNokia E-5 phone doesn't support Flash.

Yeah I figured that a couple of hours after writing this.  Takes a while for the penny to sink to the bottom these days.  I started toying with a plugin that detects the mobile device then presents a choice to display a mobile version of your blog.  It works but after spending half a day last week getting the floating social sidebar to work and playing with the css it covers half the article on the mobile version.  Can be very trying when you work with WordPress 

I also used a open source program called Handbrake which does a nice job of converting your video files for display on mobile devices.  The file came out at 200x150 in dimensions and plays great on the desktop.  I tried loading it as m4v with Flowplayer without success and converted it to mp4 but both produce a blank container without no video.  

It was a trial really to see if the Mobile version would display the mp4 but I uploaded it to Vimeo after reading this so I will give that a try.  I'm also trying to get EasyFLV player to grab the videos from Amazon but it's taking ages to load so I went back to putting them on my server.  One does some irrational things when they start out on this internet adventure.  But that's what makes people rich I guess…those like me who are uninformed when starting out.   Lucky we have our guru's. ..

p.s.  I apologize for chiming in during Q&A  I'll keep a lid on it now.  The site I was trying to point out for the member wanting video conversions was fiverr.com  You can outsource a lot of things on that site and for just $5 can be good.  Just have to watch what your outsourcing and find ratings on the person offering the service.
