Mobile Device Detection
Detects mobile clients, what device they are using and redirect mobile clients
Description
This extension detects mobile clients, what device they are using and lets you redirect users on mobile devices.
It provides a "Mobile Device Detection" datasource for detecting mobile devices based on user-agent string. Its output takes the following form:
<device is-mobile="no" />
If a mobile device is detected the mobile attribute will be set to "yes" and an element will be added the device being used to view the page:
<device is-mobile="yes">
<android version="2.3" />
</device>
It is theoretically possible for more than one device to appear in this list.
Redirects
You can redirect mobile devices of your choice to a custom mobile site, this can disabled by a visitor by adding ?not-mobile to the current page URL. This sets a cookie and prevents any further attempts to redirect the client.
All configuration is managed from System > Preferences:
No Redirect Cookie +-----------------------------------+ | no-mobile-redirect | +-----------------------------------+ Redirect URL +-----------------------------------+ | ... | +-----------------------------------+ Redirect Devices +-----------------------------------+ | ... | +-----------------------------------+ android blackberry ipad iphone palm
If the URL is set, but no devices are selected, then any mobile visitor will be redirected.
Delegates
This extension exposes the MobileRedirection delegate, which allows other extensions to override when and where a mobile device is redirected.
