EEC.MS - ExpressionEngine add-ons

Hi Max,

This is a great plugin!

FYI, in version 2.3.0 it wasn’t recognizing the iPad as a mobile device (using the emulator and also as the user-agent in Safari 5.0.1). In the pi.mobile_detect.php file I changed

on line 158 and the iPad was successfully detected as a mobile device.

Thanks Chad - the package was updated.

Max,

I like the plugin. I actually updated your plugin code for my purposes with what I feel is a very useful addition. I added a couple of parameters, “cookie_name” and “cookie_value”. This allows me to set a cookie on the mobile site to notify your plugin that the mobile visitor should be allowed to view the full site. This is a much more elegant solution in my opinion then having code in the template to set the enable paramter to on/off. Just thought I’d mention it since it’s such an easy feature to implement.

Thanks again for the plugin.

Hi Max,

Thanks for a really useful plugin.

Maybe I’m doing this wrong, but I’m trying to target content to iPad/iPhone alone and I’m having difficulty getting the “client” to work:

It would be cool if I could use an {else} statement in there too..

Thanks

Hello Neo,
yes, the problem is that client parameter doesn’t support the multitags (with |). But it is a good ides, so give me a day to add these options (| and {if}) to the plugin.

Thanks Max - I’m looking forward to the update.

I like this idea.  Any thoughts in integrating this bit to the main code base?

Well, 2 voices for this.So as I understand the idea is to have possibility to check cookies which was setup by another add-on?  I will do it.

Also recommend adding “webos”, “palmos” to $_mobileClients in pi.mobile_detect. (all palm systems like palm pre).

Why does the plugin break when I take out ipad out from $_mobileClients? The plugin works great, except that I want iPad users to be taken to my normal site, not the mobile version.

Suggestions for a newbie?

hello, thank you for your plugin.

i have a newbie question, i placed the code so when someone goes to mysite.com/land, they are redirected to mysite.com/m/land.

however, when the link is dynamic mysite.com/land/abc, the user is still redirected to mysite.com/m/land.

how can it go to mysite.com/m/land/abc ??

thanks in advance!

+ 1.

I wanted same thing & (essentially) ended up just placing the script on each page to get it to work.

Well, the most important question is how to create flexible method for setup this url.
You can try version in attachment and give me your feedback.

thanks for your reply! the plugin now works the way i need, i appreciate you updating it, great work!

Hi there.

Just reporting a possible bug in MX Mobile Device Detect v2.8.0.

I’ve installed it without any problems and placed the tag {exp:mobile_detect location=“http://mysite.mobi”} at the very top of every page (above the DocType) on the website I would like to redirect mobile browsers away from.

Everything seems to be working perfectly, except it will also redirect non-mobile users who are viewing the website with Internet Explorer to my mobile site!  So basically the plug in seems to think that Internet Explorer (all versions) on a PC is a mobile device, and then redirects.  This can’t be right.  Am I missing something here?

Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Any support would be greatly received - I’m at a loss as to why this is happening.

Many thanks

Rich
