Anyone got a working solution for this?

I've tried several different mobile detect sripts and redirects and have gotten them all to work. What I need is if I put a link to View Full Site on the mobile page for the user to be able to click that link and go to the full site not once again be redirected back to the mobile version.

The closest solution I have been able to find is: PHP Mobile Redirect and View Full Site

But even that one doesn't work atleast not for me.

I know there's someone out there that knows of a working solution.

Thanks,
Erick

I use HandHeld from elegantthemes.

Once i click on full site, you scroll to the bottom and its shows up a blue line to click back to mobile view.

You would just include a variable check before the redirection code and then include it in the link from the mobile site ( eg. http://www.yoursite.com?fs=true ).

Ok, I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to code. I kind of understand what you are saying but how to code it I wouldn't have a clue. I can copy and paste with the best of them tho...lol

I use the cookie concept explained in the link that you gave in my designs and templates. If you do it right, it should work. Setting a cookie is the only PHP solution I could came up with after a considerable amount of research.

If you want a "copy+paste" code, you should try asking in coding forums but even in such forums I don't think you will get an answer.

I've currently got this code in my header.php at the very top:

<?php
@include("Mobile_Detect.php");
$detect = new Mobile_Detect();
if ($detect->isMobile() && isset($_COOKIE['mobile']))
{
$detect = "false";
}
elseif ($detect->isMobile())
{
header("Location:http://m.mobilesite.com");
}
?>

I've got the following code in my mobile sites index at the very top:

<?php
setcookie("mobile","m", time()+3600, "/",".fullsite.com");
?>

I've got the Mobile_Detect.php in my main sites root folder.

This is the code I have at the bottom of my mobile pages:
<a id="footer-fullsite" href="http://fullsite.com/">Desktop</a>/<a id="footer-fullsite" href="">Mobile</a>


Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Another set of eyes never hurts.

In my opinion the best way to do this is to use a combination of cookies AND sessions, because some mobile visitors will clean their cookies between subsequent visits to your site, and some will have cookies blocked altogether.

So for your mobile visitors who choose to view your full site (and not get stuck in an endless redirect loop)... you first check to see if your cookie has been saved on their device. If so, you use that to set the redirect "flag". If not, then you can set the flag via sessions or via the query string (which of course will only work for as long as they stay on your site, but it's better than nothing).

I would go with cookies and PHP sessions, too.

All those scripts just check the UA, route to the websites and saving preferences can only be done via cookies. If no cookie is saved...

If you follow these instructions you will have a functioning mobile redirect on your site:

First, go to the following URL and download the mobile_detect.php file:

php-mobile-detect - The lightweight PHP class for detecting mobile devices. - Google Project Hosting

Next, follow the instructions on the page, and upload the mobile_detect.php to your root directory.

This is what I use and it works very well:


On the dekstop website:


<?php
function is_mobile(){
$regex_match="/(nokia|iphone|android|motorola|^mot\-|softbank|foma|docomo|kddi|up\.browser|up\.link|";
$regex_match.="htc|dopod|blazer|netfront|helio|hos in|huawei|novarra|CoolPad|webos|techfaith|palmsour ce|";
$regex_match.="blackberry|alcatel|amoi|ktouch|nexi an|samsung|^sam\-|s[cg]h|^lge|ericsson|philips|sagem|wellcom|bunjalloo|ma ui|";
$regex_match.="symbian|smartphone|midp|wap|phone|w indows ce|iemobile|^spice|^bird|^zte\-|longcos|pantech|gionee|^sie\-|portalmmm|";
$regex_match.="jig\s browser|hiptop|^ucweb|^benq|haier|^lct|opera\s*mob i|opera\*mini|320x320|240x320|176x220";
$regex_match.=")/i";
return isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_WAP_PROFILE']) or isset($_SERVER['HTTP_PROFILE']) or preg_match($regex_match, strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']));
}

switch($_GET['mode'])
{
case 'mobile':
$mode = "mobile";
break;
case 'desktop':
$mode = "desktop";
break;
default:
$mode = is_mobile() ? "mobile" : "desktop";
break;
}

if ($mode == "mobile")
{
header ("Location: http://www.m.mainsite.com");
return;
}
?>

On the mobile website:

<a href="http://www.mainsite.com/?mode=desktop">Full Site</a>

I found the redirect script from Mobile Web Pro works well for this. But I have it set so only the home page is redirected so if you click "see full site" from your mobile device you can still visit the other pages without being redirected.

I created a duplicate home template called "homeR" and this makes it so only the home page redirects. The mobile site has a link that forces the home page to load.

PM me and I'll show you the details of how I do it.

I have to give a thumbs up for this method. This is what I've recommended to my clients for quite a while.

Ok, I finally got it to work.

Here's the code:
<?php
@include("Mobile_Detect.php");
$detect = new Mobile_Detect();
if ($detect->isMobile() && isset($_COOKIE['mobile']))
{
$detect = "false";
}
elseif ($detect->isMobile())
{
header("Location:http://m.mobilesite.com");
}
setcookie("mobile","m", time()+3600, "/",".fullsite.com");
?>

I ended up combining the set cookie part which originally was in the index.php with the code that was put in my header.php

I put the combind code in my header.php and it is working great. I am also willing to bet that if I was to put that code in my index.php it would work too.

I appreciate all the help and suggestions.

Thanks!!!

I should add that this is working with some code I added to the .htaccess
