Joomla! mobile template!

Post by mamola23 » Thu Jan 26, 2006 1:56 pm

Hi all,

In a short periode i installed Joomla and as far as i can see this is great stuff!
The main idea for me was to create a mobile site and there for i found this add-on/template
XE Mobile (XE Media)

A live preview of this template can be found here!

Now i was wondering if other members here also discoverd this template and if they can confirm it works with Joomla 1.0.7 or just with Mambo 4.5.2 or higher?

As for now i have problems using this template over Joomla 1.0.7 the problem is is that the navigation button's don't show up, the only thing that is displayed is the Newsflash item :(

Thanx for helping

On my site (http://www.techislands.com) I use a modified Xe Mobile for the mobile version of the site (you are automatically redirected there if you are on a mobile device and go to http://www.techislands.com)

For the nav, yes it does not work, but you can go and edit the index.php in an html editor (like frontpage) and add the links your self (just copy from your current main menu). For me it works great as i do not change my menu items that often.

you can click this to view the template on your main browser:
http://www.techislands.com/index.php?jo ... =xe_mobile

And to go back to the normal layout:
http://www.techislands.com/index.php?jo ... larflareII

How does the automatic redirection to the mobile template work - what is the code you use?

I got the following from somewhere ... Is the best one I found so far. Just put the code below in a "mobdetect.php" or something and require or include the file in your /index.php

Code: Select all

<?php
$mobile_browser = '0';
if(preg_match('/(up.browser|up.link|mmp|symbian|smartphone|midp|wap|phone|vodafone|o2|pocket|mobile|pda|psp)/i',strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))){
$mobile_browser++;
}
if(((strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']),'text/vnd.wap.wml')>0) or (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']),'application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml')>0)) or ((isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_WAP_PROFILE']) or isset($_SERVER['HTTP_PROFILE'])))){
$mobile_browser++;
}
$mobile_ua = strtolower(substr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],0,4));
$mobile_agents = array('acs-','alav','alca','amoi','audi','aste','avan','benq','bird','blac','blaz','brew','cell','cldc','cmd-','dang','doco','eric','hipt','htc','inno','ipaq','java','jigs','kddi','keji','leno','lg-c','lg-d','lg-g','lge-','maui','maxo','midp','mits','mmef','mobi','mot-','moto','mwbp','nec-','newt','noki','oper','opwv','palm','pana','pant','pdxg','phil','play','pluc','port','prox','qtek','qwap','sage','sams','sany','sch-','sec-','send','seri','sgh-','shar','sie-','siem','smal','smar','sony','sph-','symb','t-mo','teli','tim-','tosh','tsm-','upg1','upsi','vk-v','voda','wap-','wapa','wapi','wapp','wapr','webc','winw','winw','xda','xda-');
if(in_array($mobile_ua,$mobile_agents)){
$mobile_browser++;
}
if($mobile_browser>0){
header ("Location: http://mobile.yoururl.com/"); // is a mobile device
exit;
}else{
// not a mobile, thus continue...
}
?>
Yet its not specific for Joomla. There might be something better like an extension out there :-)

hi guys,

awesome post glad people are taking to joomla and cell phone layouts - i like that layout!

not sure if it is a concern of yours though but check the site with the dot mobi ready report and you will notice a couple of issues that are minor. This report tests the mobile-readiness of your site using industry best practices & standards.

test link ---> http://ready.mobi/launch.jsp?locale=en_EN

We are working on a layout that meets all the standards required, the http://www.lmpoker.mobi, was until a few days meeting all but one of the criteria, client changed the site!

We are going to take the site and put it on another domain as a demo site but with the correct standards in place.

Since creating this initial site we have fixed some of the issues we had originally with this site and are about to design another one that we want to make 100% compatible.

Any input or comments greatly appreciated.

There was a failure on a server therefore a site some days did not work. Now the site functions normally.

Just in case, here the link to mambot's page on joomlacode: http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/pda/

Great work, Physicist!

Is there any way to disable images in the template? All my articles have images, but I don't want these to be show in the WAP-version of my site, because they take too long to load. But how do I do this?

Best,
Hans Mikkelsen

The script works great, it redirects, but I have 1 question about the header redirection location. Is it possible to redirect to the same site but with a different template? what URL i need to give to redirect to the same site but changing the layout? Im asking this because i dont think its a good solution having 2 joomlas running :-S

Here's a great mobile theme that works straight out of the box, I've installed it on a site with the demo data and worked perfectly.

All you need to do is tweak the CSS and you're done.

for all you still struggling over this question may i suggest you just install and enable

plg mobile bot, it works out of the box on all phones no need to config anything or mess with any code, its even shown to be far better then the "mobile joomla" component, FAR BETTER

try it on my site, nothing live yet but it is running the mobile bot plugin, FYI on blackberrys the pics dont scroll this is a bb problem not joomla

works flawless on android phones
