Hi,

I'm using the mobile pack plugin and I initially thought it came with device specific image resizing via DeviceAtlas.

I've found after trawling the internet that firstly you have to get a DeviceAtlas licence and then there are no admin options available to intergrate it easily into the mobile pack via wordpress, although they are shown in screenshots such as here:

http://mobiforge.com/running/story/the-dotmobi-wordpress-mobile-pack?page=1#p2.5

and on the DeviceAtlas site:

"To activate the DeviceAtlas Personal service simply go to the admin panel on the WordPress plug-in and select the DeviceAtlas option"

http://deviceatlas.com/wordpress

These options don't exist, or if they do exist I must be missing something because I can't find them and all information about using DeviceAtlas seems to be very outdated.

Because DeviceAtlas isn't intergrated all my images are shrunk to the default size of 124 pixels, I can intergrate DeviceAtlas myself but it's a lot more effort and I don't know why this functionality has been removed from the pack?

Thanks!

Bob

*Note* I'm wondering if this is because a new service called "DeviceAtlas Personal" is launching and this will be intergrated in a future update? Although I've read DeviceAtlas Personal cannot be used for commercial use which is what I need. I think I might just end up turning to WURFL.

I am afraid that feature has never been enabled. DeviceAtlas personal was a cloud service that dotMobi tested, but eventually decided NOT to release, so the feature in the mobile pack could not be implemented, of course.

If you really want image rescaling you should buy a DeviceAtlas licence, install it on your server and apply a few changes to the mobile pack code.
