Mobile Web Site Improvements

I swear that working with my smart phone is leading to the demise of my eyesight. I just finished some revamping of the Mobile web site for ZP SQL that makes it much easier to read and work with on my phone... and hopefully on yours as well. Because mobile units (by which I mean phones and tablets) come in so many shapes and sizes it is hard to tell how well the pages will look on ever device. The latest version has been updated for all existing customers so give it a try.

Apple Blocks Uploads

A customer pointed out to me that she could not upload Cover picture photos in the Staff web site from her iPhone. I researched the issue and learned that Apple blocks that kind of upload ability from any web site on their iPhone and iPad platforms. They simply do not allow access to the device's file structure via web sites. That means that the Cover picture upload option and the Photo database upload option won't work on Apple devices.

Mobile Web Site Available For Testing

Let us know if you would like to test the new mobile web site for ZonePro SQL. We're trying to format this site to work better with mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets. Right now we are adding it to customer's ZP SQL internet accounts on request. If you have an I-Pad or Android tablet you can also use ZP SQL via the Staff web site which you can access from the internet browser on the devices.

Exploring the Android Tablet World

I recently purchased an Android tablet (Toshiba Thrive) to experiment on in the office. My first concern is making sure the Staff web site works well in the native browser. I am also starting to work on a mobile version of the Staff site which will be formatted better for smart phones.
