I too am facing this dilemma, my full-time job with the state. We have looked at several different options and have settled on a highly modified version of responsive css like (getskeleton.com) AND a the incorporate of a img resizing function based in jquery.  Currently we are still working out the kinks in the img resize portion.

Hi Jason,

if you're doing it just for a few pages, you don't need any module/plugin; you can do this simply by using templates!

• Create field 'redirectTo' – customizable, of course
  
• Set that field to be 'single page', and select the inputfield you wish
  
• Create template 'redirectPage' – again, custom
  
• put following code in your template file
  
• Create page that links to original page
  
• you've made your virtual page
  

Code for your template:

<?php
/*
 * Template: redirectPage
 *
 * Used to redirect URL adress to other page with 301 HTTP code
 */
$session->redirect( $page->redirectTo->url );

I actually use this at least once each site.

Thank you a MILLION times over, Adamkiss! That is exactly what I was trying to do! Cant wait to use it. This is my first project using processwire. I will post a link when its done!

I really like responsive designs, but as Adam said they are not always ideal. Consider image heavy frontpage of news site for example. Loading that amount of big images and scaling them down (or hiding) in css is not ideal at all (when good mobile optimized site would be just news headers and maybe one or two featured images).

I completely understand where you are coming from Apeisa. How I handle that is with a (max-width or min-width) media query call.  When the site scales down to a certain width, I have a different set of css called. That redesigns parts of the site to suit the new browser  widths

Just my two cents, not that im a expert, BUT; I would build my site template using media queries and css. So that my site would simply scale down to a mobile browser.  For example,  http://cssgrid.net/.  That site is based off a 1140 grid that scales down based on the browser size.  just a thought!

apeisa: splitted this topic. To see history go: Any pointers on creating a mobile version of a site?

Hi All,

I am curious. Is there a plugin/module to redirect a ¨page¨ to a existing URI in the system. Rather than duplicating the content for two pages, creating a menu selection in two different place for the same page?

First of all to Ryan, Awesome Job Man!

I have been looking for a CMS that allowed more freedom than WP or Drupal. I have been able to install, and modify this CMS in under a half-hour with ease. Kudos!

However that being said. I would like to know if there are any plans in the works for a SENDMAIL, Gmail SMTP integration into this CMS.  The lack of ability to easily send system messages from within the cms is a little troublesome. Is it possible that I overlooked this option somewhere in my install?
