EEC.MS - ExpressionEngine add-ons

but do you use last add-on version? 2.8?

     

Yeah, 2.8.4

     

I’m trying to follow along with this, but I must be missing something. Are you recommending that we create a new template group with a copy of the homepage in it meant for access by mobile devices? That seems rather inelegant. If not, how is http://domain.com/index.php/fullsite/ (which is what that first conditional seems to be looking for) showing the same content as http://domain.com/index.php/default_template_group/ ? Is there a feature in expression engine to set that up?

The only way this makes sense to me is if EE evaluates http://domain.com/index.php differently than http://domain.com/index.php/default_template_group/ even though those are technically referring to the same “page.” Is that the case?

     

what is different between your mobile & desktop design?

     

They share data on the backend, but are otherwise entirely separate sites via the MSM. One is http://m.domain.com and the other is http://www.domain.com .

FWIW what I’d ultimately like to end up with is a redirect that:
- Sends smart phones to http://m.domain.com
- Sends iPads and everything else to http://www.domain.com
- Have a link on http://m.domain.com that allows smart phone users to see http://www.domain.com (and doesn’t just send them back to http://m.domain.com).

Any assistance welcome and appreciated.

     

Hi Max.  What groveberg describes is EXACTLY what I am trying to do as well. Does the plugin set cookies so that users redirected back to the non-mobile version on their mobile devices if they so choose?

Thank you and I am looking forward to this answer.

Cheers,
Mike

2capstonedesign yes, you can setup cookies to turned of redirection with

p.s. new version coming this week (close to Friday) with more simple logic and examples (like how setup cookies just with clear JS). Right now I can say that by default you will have 10 major groups of devices

  Android Mobile Phones
  Android Tablets
  Blackberry
  iPhone
  iPod
  iPad
  Kindle Fire
  Opera Mini Opera Mini
  Other mobile
  Windows Mobile

+ JS part & ext which help to add global val based on windows size

I just saw this today and it’s very exciting news! This would be spectacularly helpful to me. Much gratitude.

     

“So…how’s it going?” grovberg said, hoping that his anticipation does not convey as impatience, but instead reflects the excitement he feels over potentially having a solution to a problem he’s been trying to solve for something close to a year.

“Would it help if I hit the tip jar?”

     

I don’t think there’s any way to write this that doesn’t seem like me storming off in an angry huff, but I’m afraid I’ve given up on this plug-in and just thought it worth letting you know that was the case (I would want to know if our roles were reversed). FWIW, I would have happily paid for the promised functionality if it was an issue of having to prioritize paid work over free work. But I’ve been telling my bosses that this feature (which they consider critical) was coming for over a month now and I just can’t keep putting them off.

It may also be worth mentioning (in case it’s happening to others) that the event that spurred me into action was that the plugin has started throwing iPads into an infinite loop (I had set iPads to go to the full site instead of the mobile site). I’m not sure why that started happening suddenly after mostly working for some time now, but I had been considering other options to make up for the missing functionality in this plugin anyway, so it seemed like this might be the time to try something new.

Thanks for the work that you’ve done and the many add ons you’ve created for Expression Engine. I genuinely appreciate it.

     

Hi Max,
Do you have any update on this? As you can see there are LOTS of view on this topic. Thanks!

     

An update on the update would be great, many thanks

     

nexuspointltd,

I think this must be quite low on Max’s priorities. It seems apparent. Although, I think there are a lot of people that would find an answer to this helpful and would make the module more attractive and functional.

Oh well, sometimes silence speaks loudest.

I’m looking for functionality exactly like this as well…Is this plugin still supported? Any of you guys figure anything out? I’m racking my brain here trying to plan a site and the mobile portion has me at a standstill.
