Optimization for mobile devices

good day dear Airat,

Many thanks for raising this question: indeed a very very important issue:
A interesting head-up was posted at gitub: “For mobile display: using DIV-based layout rather than a straight-up HTML table”

htdat has posted a important posting at github: https://github.com/Automattic/WP-Job-Manager/issues/1265

Enhancement:
I have noticed that the jobs dashboard has been created as a straight-up HTML table, which makes it hard to scale it back for mobile fruition.
Would it be possible to see a DIV-based layout in the future?

Notices:

• – I do realize this would need to be coordinated with theme authors as well, though, so it’s alright if it weren’t feasible.

  – Basically this requires a huge refactor in the templates of the core plugin, extensions, and themes.

we need to work to achieve this enhanements – in order to make the job dashboard – and the search function able to work on a mobile phone

BTW: I am not so familar with PHP and CSS but i am interested in a solution!!

Airat – we should work on this. Let us discuss this with all the others. Not only we both but many many others of the global WP Job Manager community is interested in this feature. So we have to work on this!!!

love to hear from you

dear Airat,

thanks for your reply…

you write:

You can see good example on page: /wp-admin/edit.php

i cannot see anything, that is helping us in the optimization of the responsive design.

regarding these goals – here some critical theses:

Optimizing for mobile is something you should’ve done by now, but if you haven’t, it needs to be done in 2018. No excuses.

Millions of people only use a mobile device for personal internet use, and the average time spent online via a mobile has now overtaken time spent online on a desktop. Back in 2010, not long after I got my first iPhone, the average adult in
the US was spending 24 minutes using their mobile phone each day, while now it’s nearly three hours. In the meantime, the time spent on desktop computers has stayed static at 2.4 hours.

Outcomes: what does this mean to us – that run WP-Job-Manager on Websites: This means that we all (and you) your site’s mobile visitors aren’t expecting a reduced experience compared to what they would get on a desktop and that they won’t be happy if that’s what they get. Back when phones were more limited or mobile signals were slow, maybe this was appropriate, but now your visitors will expect the same experience on mobile and desktop.

conclusio: ….if it comes to Wp-Job-manager: to show the job-listings is a main goal: we should be able to see at least them on the mobile phone.

I want to see a engaged discussion here:
love to hear from you – and all the wp-job-manager users.

This is a major goal – we should move forward 😉
