Title: Native mobile apps plugin
Post by: asimako on January 09, 2017, 19:04:50
I would like to know if Worona plugin ( https://www.worona.org/  (https://www.worona.org/)) or something similar could be used to produce native mobile apps for Elxis CMS, as it's already done for Wordpress?


Regards

There are many tools you can use to create a mobile app for any site, no need for special plugin. You can also create a wrapper APP that will include your responsive designed site into a native HTML5 app.

To be honest, I have got many options to build a native mobile app. My first option would be ionic framework afterwards corona sdk and why not sencha touch and of course many others such as Kivy for python and RubyMotion for Ruby.
Recently I just found a django mobile app distribution plugin that would help me a lot for my django apps via pip install.
Including Elxis cms I am afraid I do not have anything at this moment in my mind! Could you help me?

What kind of Elxis specific tool you need? I believe you need nothing special except if you want to have some special kind of interconnectivity (eg post articles from mobile app, login from mobile app, etc). If you want just to fetch content there are tools that fetch the HTML automatically or you can use XML pages Elxis generates (for instance feeds - Elxis generates rss/atom feeds per category - example (https://www.elxis.org/feeds.html)), or even sitemap.

I only want to publish my apps to Google store and App store if possible instead of Github! That's all.

I think it would be better as i discussed previously to one of your distinguished members to contact worona (https://github.com/worona/) firstly and later, if i get positive feedback, it would be a huge improvement for the latest version. In any case i would let you know !

Worona.org

Right now we only support WordPress. Our Apps are connected using the WP REST API.

We are about to launch a new platform, that will allow developers create their own extensions, so it would be possible to create a connector to any other CMS with a REST API.
