Display wordpress content on iPhone? - iphone

I know there is this WP Touch that can automatically resize the webpage to fit iphone size. But what I want to do is to get the contents of the site, not the whole site, and display it on iphone.
I manage to get the content from wp database, the wp_posts table, post_content column, and get the content. But the problem is that, the content from wp database, include the width and height, and some of the width exceed iphone resolution. Here is the sample code from wp content:
... bla bla
<table width="980px" ...>
...
Even in my UIWebView i set the size to 300px width, the content will be chopped off. Is there any work around way to handle this problem?
EDIT:
I can only access the database, cant access the wordpress (php files)

Consider using CSS Media queries. You can then set certain device sizes to display or not display some content. CSS Tricks: Media Queries
This is considered to be a much better solution because it will allow you to just maintain a single site, as opposed to multiple code bases.

I think that you can overwrite your table width property via CSS rule:
table {
width:300px !important;
}

Get only currently visible text

I know I can get the whole body of a document with context.document.body.getOoxml() and the current selection with context.document.getSelection(), however I can't find a way to establish what is currently on screen and what is not...
Is there a method in the Word Office JS api to retrieve only the content currently displayed on the screen?
There isn't a solution for this. The way some of the JavaScript libraries in web pages are able figure out this problem is through the view port.
Example here: https://www.customd.com/articles/13/checking-if-an-element-is-visible-on-screen-using-jquery
See another helpful SO answer here: Get the browser viewport dimensions with JavaScript
Now - Word however uses HTML as a way of formatting - and not as a way of directly displaying things. So even if you could run the same library on the HTML - it wouldn't have the same context.
The best you could do is to get the height of the visible space (which should be the same height as your add-in frame) and attempt to do some mapping. You would have some weird edge cases though, like if the font-size is different, or you have a page-break in the view etc...

Fetch as Google - Googlebot (desktop) not rendering page correctly

I'm having an issue with getting Googlebot to correctly render my webpage(s).
It's rendering the header and one "row" of my page (just the page's top background picture), and then failing to render anything beyond that, not even the footer, missing about 3/4 of the page.
My site is www.runparis.fr and screenshots of the rendered fetch are attached.
Other potentially relevant information includes:
The code that was fetched is missing nothing
The fetch status is complete (no missing resources)
The problem is site-wide; it happens on all my pages
When I check the cache the whole page is rendered perfectly
Fetch as Google (mobile) renders the site perfectly
The site looks fine in any of my browsers
There's nothing funky going on in my page; It's just background images and text. Easy stuff.
My questions are:
Will google's inability to render the page have an impact on how Google ranks it?
Is there any advice for solving the problem and having google render the page correctly?
Thanks for any help or advice anyone can offer!
Googlebot render 2
Edit:
I've done another Fetch as Google and render for a test page and found that Googlebot will stop rendering after it has rendered any background images that I've set to "full height" in my page builder in my Wordpress installation; that is, any image that is set to take up the full height of the browser window kills the render.
So, it will render everything until it hits this image, renders that, and then stops.
As stated before, my page isn't fancy; It's just simple background images and text. It surprises me that Googlebot has trouble rendering what any browser can render perfectly, especially given the simplicity of the pages!!
So, my questions are:
Will Google not being able to render my page impact the way Google ranks my site? (given that what's in the cache renders fine on my browser)
And, Is this a common problem? Are there any fixes that will let Google render my pages correctly?
Some new information supplied by an external source:
"validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Frunparis.fr%2F"
"jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Frunparis.fr%2F&profile=css3&usermedium=all&warning=1&vextwarning=&lang=en"
The various errors and warnings might explain why rendering is hampered in some tools such as Google Fetch and render.
Browsers are much more forgiving than all these validation and rendering tools.
I'm guessing that in Google's rendering tool the css rules that set the background image(s) and foreground image(s) and text content are being applied in the wrong order so background stuff ends up on top of foreground.
Does this new information help anyone understand why Googlebot would be having trouble to render the page?
I have experienced the same problem, the only viewable thing on the renderer was the hero section, and it was caused with defining height:100vh; for the hero section.This problem occur when using vh css units, or in some cases height:100%;
Here is the thread and discussion that really helped me out to understand the issue:
I believe that the google bot is doing this:
1. Looking at your website with a 1024x768 viewport.
2. Checks how tall the window.scrollHeight is
3. Resizes it's virtual browser to be the same height as the window.scrollHeight
4. Takes a screenshot and
5. Checks to see what elements are visible, and tallies SE score as appropriate. (Dinging content that is not visible.)
I partially solved this issue with inserting extra rules into mediaqueries: So for resolutions around 1024px width, I put max-height:800px; (rule height:100vh; stayed active) on my hero section, and on mediaquery for rules around 1280px width and up, I set max-height:none; (rule height:100vh; is active).
I'm still loosing around 30px of height in the renderer, but that's being cut off at the end of the page, with no text and any meaningfull content.
I have the similar issue with (Google Mobile-Friendly) tool and (Fetch as Google) mobile version is broken because Googlebot is not loading my style.css and affect my rankings
so I output my stlye.css code for mobile manually
add_action('wp_head','load_mobile_styles');
function load_mobile_styles () {
if( wp_is_mobile() )
{
ob_start(); ?>
<style>
enter code here
</style>
<style>
enter code here
</style>
<?php
echo ob_ob_get_clean();
}
}

field separation during browser resize

I have this template I'm working on and it's resizeable from full screen to the width of an iphone. My contact form field is fine at full screen, but when I resize my browser, it seperates really bad and not sure how to fix this to keep the fields right under each other. I have a before/after here:

setting view port before loading HTML page in iOS

I am an iOS developer and i do not have any knowledge about web development.I am trying to load an HTML page on UIWebView since the content size of web page is larger then the iOS device screen size,the webview shows scroll bars which has to be avoided in my case.I want to fit the page to the webview width.
I did read some posts here and understood that i should change the viewport of HTML to get things work as i desired.When i manually change the width and height properties of meta tag in HTML its fitting to my webview.What is the best method to change the view port before loading page.
(I have seen approaches to set scale using stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString: in webViewDidFinishLoading: and i can not prefer doing this because the webview takes time to load the content till then it shows the scalled page then it refreshes.)
Is there any better method to change meta propertied then reading HTML file in to NSString and do poor string level manipulations?The HTML pages are always available locally on the device.
Please help,i need to get it fixed as soon as possible.

Unable to highlight/copy text in iPhone Safari on mobile site

I have a mobile site which I'm testing on the iPhone, and unlike most other sites, I'm not able to hold my finger on the screen to get the 'copy' menu to appear (with the draggable handles to select an area to copy). Nothing happens at all on my site.
I've tried adding the following to my style sheet but it hasn't made any difference:
-webkit-user-select: text;
I should also state that I have the following also in my style sheet and within the page head:
-webkit-text-size-adjust: none;
I've got these as I didn't want the content to be scalable, and just wanted the content to span 100% of the device width.
Would the implementation of any of the above be causing the lack of selectable text on the site? Out of interest, I tried the flickr mobile website which also is not scalable and uses 100% of the device width like my site, and that also doesn't seem to come up with the draggable/select area for copying when you hold your finger on some text.
Does anyone have any idea why this is or how I can make the text content (or any content actually) selectable for copying/pasting?
Thanks
are there any elements that may be obscuring the items by overlaying them, etc? a z-indexing issue, perhaps?
