DetectMobile

Description

Provides a means of detecting whether the user browsing a wiki is using a mobile device. Can be used within PmWiki (or PHP in general) to either load mobile specific skins, or perform mobile related actions.

Download and Installation

1. Download the script. (detect_mobile.zipΔ)
2. Unzip it into your cookbook directory (usually pmwiki/cookbook/).
3. Add the following to your local configuration file:

include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/detect_mobile.php");

Using the Script

Simply call the function from within PHP:

detect_mobile_device()

For example, you might use it in config.php to use a different skin if a mobile device is detected.

if(detect_mobile_device()) {
   $Skin = 'skidoo/PDA';
} else {
   $Skin = 'skidoo';
}
