Mobile Device Website

[Tez Oner]

Eeey,

a new Mobile website on the Website Baker CMS and the
VA WB Template Framework 3.0 the can be added on a iPhone
to the Homescreen as a Webapp!

The pages use the MobileDevices 2 Scheme which is included in
the Premium version of the Template Framework.

Check mdemo.vanallerlei.c om or demosite.vanallerle i.com
(the device is automaticly detected by platform and browser).

Cheers,

Tez

Does not work with android browser. Does not matter witch of both sites.  It says "too much server redirects". Browser works good on other sites e.g. this Text here written.
Android 2.3.5 @ sgs2.

Same (android) problem here.

There is a great FF tool for testing this: http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/
A pretty good list of useragents are found here: http://techpatterns.com/forums/about304.html
With this tool you can test mobile sites using firefox.

Thanks for the comments...

At the moment it's optimized for iOS 3 and 4, it should detect Android
but as a Mac-user I have a iPhone myself gonna work on the
Android... tho it's mainly webkit... but the jQuery-mobile framework
especially the 'page-preload'-function loads pages a few times...

The problem is not on jQuery or webkit level.
There is somekind of roundtrip in redirecting between the two websites.

i've never had this kind of foreverredirect with my mobile detector, at witch level do you detect? and how do you implement the templates?

Eey,

thanx for the replies... esspecially the Andriod issue... it should be fixed now!
The issue was; 1 - a redirect on browser-platform e.g. iPhone, Android etc...
to detect mobile-devices and 2nd; a redirect that detects the system-platform
e.g. Mac, Linux and Windows for the proper CSS-files.

And as Android is both Android-browser and Linux-system... it kept redirecting
between the regular and mobile website...

Used a code like this, should be better by now:

Code:

if(strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'iPhone') || strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'iPad') || strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'iPod')
{
$browser = 'mobileDevice';
}

Check out the VA Template Framework for an implementation of this script!

more "thorought"

but it's not the latest version

i've now a platforme detector that can give "wap" "mobile touch" "html4" and "html5" different templates.
