MX Mobile Device Detect Allowing users to go view full site after being redirected?
First off, I think this plugin is great. This is the second time I have used it. I like that the plugin automatically detects mobile users and then redirects them to my mobile site. I would like the ability to have the user be able to view the full site after being redirected. The problem with this is that the plugin just keeps redirecting the user to the mobile site. Is there anyway to allow the user to view the full site if they wish?
I have a couple ideas for this - which v. do you interested - ee1 or ee2?
ee2
Another vote for an EE2 version of this request.
dapacreative could you please give your feedback after test? Thanks!
Hi Max,
Firstly great plugin. I love when these “just work” and the code is clearly set out for us.
With regard to this original question, I understand its now possible to redirect mobile devices but to also allow them to view the full version.
Is it too much to ask for an example of the best approach?
The logic I’d like to put it in the homepage template
{exp:mobile_detect}
{if mobile}
{exp:mobile_detect location="http://m.site.com/"}
{/if}
{/exp:mobile_detect}
I have a feeling the link I have on the mobile site to the full site needs to go to a separate template that contains just this line
{exp:mobile_detect enable=“off” location=“http://site.com/”} so that it can create the cookie.
But this seems clumsy surely I can add something to the “view full site” link like “http://site.com/?fullsite” then update the code to something like
{exp:mobile_detect}
{if "?fullsite"}
{exp:mobile_detect enable="off" location="http://site.com/"}
{/if}
{if mobile}
{exp:mobile_detect location="http://m.site.com/"}
{/if}
{/exp:mobile_detect}
I’ve had a crack at embedding this logic completely within the homepage.
It’s not perfect, the link from the mobile site back to view the fullsite homepage template is http://website.com.au/?fullsite=1
My issue is the redirect within the “if mobile” statement is being ignored?
Am I handling this correctly
{preload_replace:fullsite="<?php if(isset($_GET['fullsite'])) { $var = $_GET['fullsite']; } else { $var = 'null'; } if($var == '') {echo 'null';} else {echo $var;} ?>"}
{if {fullsite} > 0}
{exp:mobile_detect enable="off" location="http://website.com.au/"}
{if:else}
{exp:mobile_detect}
{if mobile}
This redirect is being ignored
{exp:mobile_detect enable="on" location="http://website.com.au/m"}
{/if}
{/exp:mobile_detect}
{/if}
1. did you test you php?
2.is it possible to used segment_x logic in your templates?
like http://website.com.au/fullsite
{if segment_1 = "fullsite"}
{exp:mobile_detect enable=“off” location=“http://website.com.au/”}
{if:else}
{exp:mobile_detect}
{if mobile}
This redirect is being ignored
{exp:mobile_detect enable=“on” location=“http://website.com.au/m”}
{/if}
{/exp:mobile_detect}
{/if}
Yes the PHP is correct for http://website.com.au/?fullsite=1 {fullsite} shows the value 1
I feel like the nested {exp:mobile_detect} tags are the issue, one is the IF statement and the other is the redirect. The redirect is being ignored
{exp:mobile_detect}
{if mobile}
This redirect is being ignored
{exp:mobile_detect enable=“on” location=“http://website.com.au/m”}
{/if}
1. PHP Parsing Stage - input?
2. parse=“inward” ?
{exp:mobile_detect parse="inward"}
{exp:mobile_detect}
{if mobile}
This redirect is being ignored
{exp:mobile_detect enable=“on” location=“http://website.com.au/m”}
{if:else}
not mobile
{/if}
{exp:mobile_detect}
Max:
I appreciate your work on this plugin, and thanks in advance for your patience with my question 
.
On this project I’m running EE1.
I install the plugin and point to the location of my mobile template using this tag (placed at the top of the full site template):
{exp:mobile_detect location="http://www.mysite.com/mobile"}
This takes the mobile user to my mobile template, where I have some basic contact info and then a link to the full site.
My question: How do I use the other tags—listed below—to prevent this from becoming a loop if the mobile user decides to view the full website?
{exp:mobile_detect location="http://site.com/" redirect="not_mobile"}
and
{exp:mobile_detect}
{if mobile}
Is mobile device
{/if}
{if not_mobile}
Is not mobile device
{/if}
{/exp:mobile_detect}
Can you provide an example of how these tags would be used in the full site template and the mobile one?
Thanks
I’m sorry but other tags is not available for EE1 version.
Thanks for the reply. I plan to use this on EE2 sites as well. Could you possibly explain how that would work on EE2?
Thanks.
need to used parameter enable=“off” for this.
Example of using:
{if segment_1 = "fullsite"}
{exp:mobile_detect enable=“off” location=“http://website.com.au/”}
{if:else}
{exp:mobile_detect}
{if mobile}
This redirect is being ignored
{exp:mobile_detect enable=“on” location=“http://website.com.au/m”}
{/if}
{/exp:mobile_detect}
{/if}
Thanks.
