Lots of work has gone into the Housing Guide this past week. The Browse page and the Category Listing templates are now complete. This leaves the Advanced Search template to complete.
Sadly I have found out from Six Apart support that searching Custom Field data is not a built in feature. This is baffling to me, quite frankly, but at least there is a 3rd party plugin. I have yet to dig into working with the plugin yet.
But this update is not about that stuff, it is about the Mobile site. My goal is to have all functionality that can be done on a desktop browser mimicked on a mobile phone. Hopefully the custom search will work on mobile too.
Click on the thumbnails for the full sized screen shot. The first shot is the Home Page of the Housing Guide. Next is the Browse By Category page. Last is the Apartment Listings page (of course there are not many listings in yet, but there will be when I move the listings over from the Joomla site).

You may also notice some slight changes to the overall color scheme. I have changed the header from the iPhone OS gray to our Dark Blue from our logo.
