Reply to: New CUK Site

[norrahe]

It can be very slow when not on wifi - and if I'm using the phone then this is generally the case.

I can concur, it can be a tad laborious browsing on the phone. Not sure if it is the adverts slowing it up?

Is it possible to be able to hide the adverts in stealth mode????

I often view the site using the native browser on my phone, never had a problem...

As well as CUK for iphone, will there be versions of the app for blackberry and android phones?

and the Nokia N95

See what usage is like for the dying-in-popularity model and if OK then we may well commission the same for the 'droid. Not sure that market share for blackberry and N95 would warrant specific apps for them though.

or just a version of the site optimised for mobile browsing on any handset

Just out of interest when is the cutover?
I see ContractorUK has been logged on for the last few days as well. Going
to do this mob handed Admin?

Should have been live a few months ago. If you are going to miss a deadline then you may as well do it in style

Main ContractorUK account has probably been on here deleting libellous and offensive posts that have been complained about. I am surprised your account is still active, MF

Ask EO. He has a climate model. Get him to extrapolate the temperature
of the Earth to when it's cold enough that Hell freezes over.

So... you're saying it's on the way?

Never mind the DB, when is TPD getting it's own server?

Nice. What about the database server?

It can be done with a very simple stylesheet, but wouldn't necessarily be pretty.

Sidetracking thread slightly, you're a man who knows his stuff, what have you plumped for as the parser on the iPhone. My Plan B app has been in the app store for a while but as the feed sizes have grown, the performance of the code using NSXMLParser has dimished, these aren't big XML files really, 1-3000 rows but however I code it, the NSXMLParser just seems slightly sluggish.

For one part of the app I wrote a .NET module to format an XML plist at the server side and the iPhone app retrieves that, bungs it in a temp location and then reads that instead of the feed XML and that is super speedy but fiddly to implement.

Have you found anything halfway between the two for the CUK app?

I've just stuck with NSXMLParser, as that's been adequate for my purposes. If you're considering alternatives, it's worth reading Ray Wenderlich's article How to Choose the Best XML Parser for Your iPhone Project comparing various options.

I didn't know we were getting a new site. Oh well, I only visit the forum anyway, is that changing (again) too, or just the appendix that is the non-forum part?
