To achieve what you’re looking for you can do the following:

if ($mobile_smart->switcher_isMobile())
{
  // check your field here
}

I should also note that this functionality will be available in the upcoming premium Mobile Smart Pro plugin, hopefully available within the next week.

Love the plugin. Thanks.

I am working on functionality so that mobile visitors to my site can, for some pages, be presented with different content to those who use a big-screen browser (desktop/tablet). I’m doing this using a custom field which can contain the address of a mobile-counterpart page.

My PHP code will check if the custom field is populated (with the alternative page). If so, and if the mobilesmart plugin says that this is a mobile visitor, then switch to that alternative page.

From your FAQs I’ve got the idea that I use something like:
if ($mobile_smart->isTierTouch() == MOBILE_DEVICE_TIER_TOUCH)

But I’m not clear about what tier I need to use for *any* non desktop and non-tablet device. Please can you clarify this for me…

Thanks,

Philip

Yes it should remember the user’s choice to stay in Desktop mode – it has a cookie stored to do that. If you’re happy to send me a link to your website, I can have a look at what’s going on, or email me at dan (at) dansmart.co.uk.

For the iPad, I’ll have to put together some custom code for you – you’ll have to mod the plugin slightly, so let me know if you’re comfortable doing this, otherwise I can make you a custom bundle. I’m planning on releasing an update soon that’ll add this functionality in by a checkbox, to enable/disable switching on a tablet (iPad etc).

Best,

Dan

Also – how can I set the theme to NOT display our mobile theme on a tablet, specifically the iPad?

Thanks!

Jesse

Can you let me know which options you enabled to add the switcher?

I’ve now got the plugin installed on this site – you can see that currently I have a small bug on the site (rather than with the plugin) when it comes to the blog (I’ve left this bug in deliberately for the moment) – this bug shows that the “Switch to mobile version” link usually appears in the footer, but because of a lack of a cleared div, it pops up at the bottom of the right sidebar – this is sometimes the cause of the problem.

You can also see that it is implemented inside a div with the id of “mobilesmart_switcher” – you can view the source of your page to show whether it is appearing in there.

Otherwise, I’m guessing it may be related to the cache.

Hope this helps – feel free to come back with any responses,

Dan

To be honest, I have tried it on a site with Cache enabled but also after many minutes (when cache should have expired) it doesn’t show the link.

You can maybe install here on you site so we can see how it works… a sort of live demo.

P.S. in the readme file the is a ‘?’ missing at the end of the php code.

Accessing the website from Safari was having problems as the switcher had missed a case and assumed you were also using the footer switcher. I’ve added a fix for that too, and will release this updated version shortly.

Many thanks for your feedback,

Dan

Anyway I have fixed that error but accessing my website from Safari (with iPhone user agent) it shows me the default theme. Any idea?
