A "light" version of Prestashop adapted to iphone & Android would be a good thing I think.

As far as Prestashop is concerned by Web 2.0 e-commerce solution that would be a really good feature.
For instance to go to the iphone version, the URL could be http://www.website/iphone/

I'm bumping this thread because I think many store owners will see the benefit of when implemented.

When our store used magento, the iPhone theme increased our sales by 20%.

How much do you guy think it would cost to develop?

[daYmo]

One or Two weeks I guess ...
It would increase sales for sure....
I can see in stats that there are more & more smartphone users

Hello daYmo,

I started a iphone theme one year ago. I want to restart this project.

What do you think about this : http://m.joelgaujard.info/

[Banibooi]

You should definitely restart that project!

The site had a few bugs and glitches.

Even some design flaws. You may however, post that source code to google code or a zip-file to the theme/module-forum!

Question:

Does the mobile version use its own database, or does it share with the "complete" site?

Great effort and I'm really interested in that!

[Joël Gaujard]

Hello Banibooi,

Thanks for your support. I will restart this project soon...

Mobile version use the same database than "complete" site.

Hello Nokall,

I think we are not talking of the same thing. I speak about a site optimized for iPhone like you can see on my link above.

But i'm interesting by your trick for hide some block on mobile version

I am very much interest to know your your tricks. Would you mind to share?

[Banibooi]

We need a site like joël made. It needs further development.

GUI and stability modifications.

Guys; europe is a bit behind the US when it comes to web stuff.

Mobile commerce has exploded there - Imagen the effect in Europe! :D

[Joël Gaujard]

Thanks Banibooi for your support. I restart the project this week. I hope to have a beta version until 2 weeks...

@Nokall: Please share yours tricks.

[sgtbash]

I'm SUPER interested in this, if there is anything I can do to help this moving let me know. I've got an iPhone, Mac & PC so can test on almost any platform.

Thanks

Dan

I think getting beta-testers is the easy part of this.

We need developers. Experienced developers.

I can make an iPhone prototype design tomorrow (hopefully) as I' currently running ubuntu and I need fireworks to do that.*

*Users love when the site matches the OS gui.

Things we need to think about:

How to list the products when we have an unofficial theme installed. I am using a theme which uses a lot of modules and a weird CSS-code. Is that going to affect the site?!

Payment method:
I'm using a swedish payment method, which redirects the user from my site to their site. Sort of like the paypal method.
(no apis - yet.)

A method many store owners in sweden use is sending the users a bill together with the product. But, using that as the only option is insufficient.

Let's get the code out there and let the developers work on that.

[Banibooi]

I was goofing around in fireworks with the iPhone GUI layout and that was what I came up with.

The upper left is the logo of your store. Next to it the costumers can log in (after login it should say My account.) They can view their cart, and the search button to the right.

The image below the header is inspired by the engadget app. It's a "slider" with 3 images showing what would probably be the special offers/sales.

Below that ( the grids ), the store could list the various categories of products.

Such as
TVs
DVDs
Blu-Rays

etc.

* image used to display the slideshow http://geraimaya.com/

* grids inspired by magento iPhone site.

What are your thoughts? Anything I can add to the storefront?

hello sorry for delay but to maney work :)

example:
Shop are installed in /home or /shop

Create one past (ex: mobile version) in same server that you have store ,

Copy all content from your shop to mobile version don´t need to copy admin ( if you are using URL Rewrite don´t forget to copy .htaccess and robots , this is important because when you click to buy if not have .htaccess, shop tell that product not exist any more :D )

Now the trick´s , in you past for mobile version go to past modules and delete modules that you don´t want to display.
Replace logo if you need.
If you want to use other theme replace theme (from inside mobile version) rename the name that theme are using by default (example: you upload theme xxxx to /mobile version/themes/ , you have now theme xxxx and theme prestashop , erase prestashop and replace name xxxx to prestashop :) .
Now when you insert a product in your site , the product display in mobile version but don´t have images you need to copy images from site to mobile version .

Simple :)

i see your theme working it´s good :) but not forget one thing in web-commerce , must be focus in sells , costumer come customer buy and leave , and he have Nokia addicts windows mobile etc... :P it´s better to work in an universal theme and not focus only in iphone theme ;)

B.R

[Banibooi]

I think we as developers should push forward web-standard.

By supporting engines such as Webkit or gecko - we force companies to comply with our demands.

Nokia hasn't really been pushing its browser.

I've looked for some interface guidelines to see whether or not there is something to change in order to make the site more "universal".

[Joël Gaujard]

nokall,

I tried doing this, copying store to folder /mobile but I did copy the admin folder also. I log into mobile/admin not regular admin but all changes I make to modules appear in regular theme store also.

I changed the config file and copied and changed the htaccess file. is there anything else I am missing? thank you for your time if you are still around.
