List Of Pages For Version 1.0 Of Mobile Learning App

Home

For now, this page will be hand-coded in HTML. Future versions will build this out on-the-fly, but for the demo HTML will work.

Search Input

This page is for search input. User will have a typical form input box and a “go!” button. This will run a typical WP search.

There will also be seven “canned” searches that have hot links on this page. They are:

1. Recent Posts (returns the five most recent posts)
2. Popular Posts (returns the five posts with highest viewing rates)
3. Inventory (returns all posts tagged with “inventory”)
4. Merchandising (returns all posts tagged with “merchandising”)
5. Sales Update (returns all posts tagged with “sales update”)
6. Audio (all posts tagged “audio”)
7. Video (all posts tagged “video”)

Search Output

This page displays output from the above page. It will show all pages that are returned in the associated search.

• Most recent post is always shown first
• Title is first, followed by 25 characters of the post followed by “…”
• Title is a hot link to the post
• No date, time or other information is shown

Post Output

This page displays output from an individual post. (It is returned when the user selects a page from the search output.)
