This is a truly interesting yet mind-boggling discussion and I must admit I have not yet gained a solid understanding of how this thing works.
If I understand it correctly, the master views are meant to be viewport independent and aimed at showing ‘functional’ alternatives as described by @victor.
However, I have imported my current RP8-based project which uses a header area with adaptive views such as ‘tablet landscape’ ‘large screen’ etc. These views are (after conversion) availble within the page as well as within the master. Hence: Adaptive page view == Master Views.
Changing the view within the page automatically switches to the corresponding master view - so the ‘adaptive behaviour’ is pretty much as before. So, now I’m wondering:
-
How is this match between adaptive page view and master view accomplishes? Interestingly, it’s not done by (visible) name, since I’ve change on of the master view’s names, but the mapping still works.
-
The master views user the names of the adaptive views but have not settings related to viewport size
-
If I now would like to create ‘functional’ views for the master (in case of my header: Anonymous vs. logged in), how would I do this? Would I need to delete the ‘adaptive’ master views? Or would I need to create a matrix of views like ‘tablet landscape - anonymous’, ‘tablet landscape - logged in’ etc.?
Still a lot of question remaining (at least for me) - and I would be most happy for some further clarification.
Thanks - Jens
