Teaser Component doesn't work on IPhone

[Former Community Member]

Hi Guys,

I have a fresh installation of CQ5.6.1. I tried to implement few Teasers into our M-site but found that even teasers on Geometrixx site don't come up...

Actually it looks like they do come up but only to an extend. I expected the banner to be shown as it shows in emulator but the whole section was missing, while section for Gear was shown as text only - no graphics...

Here is a screenshot of http://localhost:4502/content/geometrixx-outdoors-mobile/en.touch.html

This sounds like some sort of bug - i would open a day care ticket.

For those who's trying to solve the same problem I've got the response from Adobe below. Basically Teasers don't work in Author mode but they do show correctly in Publish, which is pity since it will make previewing content before replicating it to publish nodes harder....

From what I understand and see from your screenshot, you try to author the page via the Iphone. Unfortunately, this is not fully supported on CQ .
The emulator page you mentioned was design to simulate what the page looks like on the several devices, not to author from them..

The next Granite UI, that will be fully available on the next version of CQ in 2014, but already available as preview technology on AEM 5.6.1 , will be touch - oriented , and fully compatible with tablet devices. Product management still will have to determine the full support on Mobile devices such as IPhones.

You can already try to author the page you mentioned via this new UI, by requesting http://localhost:4502/editor.html/content/geometrixx-outdoors/en.touch.html

As for the publish mode, IPhone was able to render the page normally for me. 

Can you confirm your interrogations were concerning the pure author mode ?

Hi there,

Precision : >>"Basically Teasers don't work in Author mode but they do show correctly in Publish, which is pity since it will make previewing content before replicating it to publish nodes harder...."

Iphone are indeed not supported for authoring a page, so on author instance with wcmmode enabled. 

Since your use case is not to author the page with the IPhone, but just to preview it on an author instance, there are still 2 solutions :

1) Use the emulator, its main purpose is to display the page as it would look like on the selected device.

2) If you want to actually use your IPhone, request the page with the wcmmode disabled (= preview mode) like this :

http://localhost:4502/content/geometrixx-outdoors/en.touch.html?wcmmode=disabled

This way , the page will appear as it will look like on a publish instance, but you still hit your author (page don't have to be published)

Hope that helps
