Port iWebKit to Drupal

This looks really cool! I'm going to be meeting up Jingsheng at Drupal NYC in the next couple weeks to talk about fixing iUI and possibly checking out iWebKit. Looks like they're using a non-GPL license which might deny us from sticking it in the Drupal CVS, but it's definitely worth checking out.

I think its a good idea too!!!

I've tried out iwebkit (http://mdwp.de/iphone) and I think integration with iUI sounds great.
Do you know http://blog2iphone.com/index.php? That is a service, which works for Drupal, WP and blogger. blog2iphone transforms RSS-Feeds of a Drupal-Site to nice looking iPhone Apps. Very cool. I setup my sites (e.g. http://mdwp.de) with blog2iphone in a few seconds and the service works very good.

Please get this going! I am not sure how to incorporate this into drupal!

If anyone is interested, I've cobbled together a simple theme based on iWebKit which is in use on http://iphone.thingy-ma-jig.co.uk/. I'm sure it still needs work, but it's certainly a start. Pretty easy to do too...

I can put it up on here if it's any help - although I'm not sure about any licensing implications of attaching a version of iWebKit to this forum..

@nicholasThompson:

iWebKit seems to be LGPL. In my opinion it's not a problem to combine it with drupal's GPL code base. So please upload your work that we can have a look at it :-)

Et Voilà... As the French say.

I dont think there is anything too private in the theme...

The problem is that code of other projects cannot be hosted in Drupal CVS repositories.

In my opinion it's not a problem to combine it with drupal's GPL code base.

Actually, all the code present in the CVS repository receive automatically a GPL v2 or higher license; I think it's not possible to assign to code in repository a different license at the same time.
Then, all code that calls a Drupal function becomes automatically GPL code (which is the Drupal license). I think it's not possible to assign to code a GPL license, and a LPGL license because the two are not compatible (correct me if I am wrong).

This is nice. Very nice.

The iWebkit demo on an iphone/touch looks great, so many nice UI options/features!

iWebkit 5 has been released. Anyone up for the task of porting it? ;)

subscribing would be very interested in this port too.

I guess we could post the integration theme to drupal CVS and then ask the users to download the iWebkit package separately, just like many of the other 3rd party themes and modules?

Hi,

I have put together an initial port to iWebKit 5. Unpack the Framwork directory from the latest iWebKit distribution under the theme folder and you should be good to go.

Cheers

Thanks! I'll check it out

Hi,
I'm really interrested in creatinh a template for iWebKit. I saw there's already a theme for drupal-iWebKit : http://drupal.org/project/iwebkit.

Did someone tried this ?

@heander : do you think you could commit your theme onto a new CVS so I could get involved in improving this theme ? I'd like to focus on admin theming for iPhone.

Hello,

I am using this theme

iwebkit-100323.tgz 2.81 KB

but not sure why it is reported on my drupal 6 site that the theme is not supported.

Thanks for any feed back on this.
D.

@jseguillon : Sure, maybe we should check with the author of http://drupal.org/project/iwebkit first? It seems it is based on iWebKit 4, so he might be interested in merging some code for the update.

@dunn : Do you have some more details about the error message?

Regards
Johan

I am closing this issue, which is for a not supported Drupal version.
