FREE Mobile Website Redirect Script?

Justin Mandel · 01-22-2013, 05:43 PM

Can anyone suggest where I can find a FREE Mobile Website Redirect Script?

We already have one however it's not working, so I'd really prefer not to lay out any extra money for one if I can prevent it

Thanks in Advance,

Justin

Justin,

It depends what type of redirect script you are wanting.

The most accurate one to use nowadays are those that detect the user agent of devices. Since new devices are being released all the time, the list of user agents needs to be kept up to date.

For that reason using a free redirect script is not a great idea. You want to use a service or script that will keep the list up to date for you. No point using a free option if it's not effective.

It also depends if you are using Wordpress or not.

Hi
You seem to be very knowledgeable in Mobile marketing

I make HTML5 based apps. I'm trying to put an URL there

Then I'm looking for an Intelligent redirection set up that allows me to set individual redirection - and then tracks and gives me intelligent insights on conversion etc

Do you know anything available like that? Thanks in advance
regards

Here is the one that I use in my projects:

Detect Mobile Browsers - Open source mobile phone detection

Decide on which method you want to use and download the corresponding script.

You may find better paid scripts that cover more devices. There are also other services that require a monthly fee and provide a limited number of redirections that I would never approach. I kinda hate monthly fees.

hey buddy,

Just copy paste this code in between the <header>...</header> tags on the page you want to detect and redirect. Also change the "http://www.gomobileenterprise.com" to whatever your mobile site URL is.

HTML Code:

<script>
function detect() {
       var uagent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
       var mobile = false;
       var search_strings = [
           "iphone",
           "ipod",
           "ipad",
           "series60",
           "symbian",
           "android",
           "windows ce",
           "windows7phone",
           "w7p",
           "blackberry",
           "palm"
       ];
       for (i in search_strings) {
           if (uagent.search(search_strings[i]) > -1) mobile = true;
       }
       return mobile;
   }
   if (detect()) window.location = "http://gomobileenterprise.com/";
</script>

I have a few questions about the script suggested here:

I presume you meant <head> </head> tags, not <header> </header>?
The list of user agents seems very sparse. Are there others that should be included?
In the "for" loop, would it be worthwhile to exit the loop as soon as a match is found?
Is the inclusion of "ipad" correct? I have read elsewhere that the iPad works pretty well with normal websites.
Would a PHP solution be more universally effective, as some broswers might have JavaScript turned off?

Thanks for your advice.
