Install WAFL

Zip content

Our extension contains four different (installable) zip-files:

• The actual plug-in which hooks in into Joomla and thus intercepts Joomla-events to ameliorate the browsing experience for mobile users by delivering mobile-enhanced content.

• The administrator component. In the WAFL administration-side section, the web administrator will be able to change some mobile preferences to his own needs. Here, he can define how and especially in which manner, his mobile site should be published.

• The WAFL template which delivers our basic version of a mobile template without taking screen widths and heights into account. Image rescaling is also not done. Enable Siruna in the admin component to include these parameters and actions.

• Our WAFL module which is in fact a component wrapper to enable module ordering in the WAFL template. Further explanation about this component could lead us too far into technical details.
