Easiest Redirect Code Humanly Possible

Hi Everybody,

We just set up our new mobi site:

http://chelseahotel.mobi/

I have been reading up on redirects and I am a little confused. I have seen a couple and I am not really sure which I should try. Ideally we want people who come here:

http://www.thehotelchelsea.com/

to be redirected to our mobi site. What is the easiest way to do this? Easy like in a 6 year-old could do it. : )

Thank you!!!!

Hi,

I have found one issue in Device atlas database for Motorola Milestone there is no user agent registered for italy.

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.0; it-it; Milestone Build/SHOLS_U2_01.03.1) AppleWebKit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/530.17

there are four user agent present for this device but " it-it; " is not present , that is the reason Device Atlas is not able to detect this Mobile in Italy please register this user agent.

redirect error

socialexpert — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:00:42 +0000

Hello,

I work with a cms system and tried to send my mobile users to my mobile template.

i used htaccess to redirect mobile browsers to my mobile template.So for this cms the user normaly need to click on a button to set the template.So i made it easy, just by redirecting to a subdomain wich redirects to this settemplate.php.

Problem :

Quote:

The site you're visiting forwards the request so that it can never be finished.

i can´t set via htaccess.
Mega lol.. I´m confused and need help.

How can i fix this cookie prob ? Ô.ô

thx

Problems detecting IE7 as mobile device

txetxuda — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:13:03 +0000

Hi,

I'm having a problem with device atlas which is detecting IE7 running on a PC as a mobile device. Is this the normal behaviour? I have no problems with the rest of browsers
I'm using PHP with Mobi_Mtld_DA_Api::getProperties($tree, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']).

Thanks in advance

BlackBerry identifying as Mozilla FireFox

garbetjie — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 15:06:23 +0000

Hey all.

I've been having some issues recently with a BlackBerry model - specifically, the BlackBerry 8520.

For some reason, this model seems to be sending through a user-agent string of Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14, which would obviously cause it to be identified as a web browser.

how to detect device without UA

Darthin — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 08:41:12 +0000

I used WURFL to detect device, and it is very cool. I like it very much.

But one question I met in developing, if there is no useragent is passed by request, how WURFL works? Can it detect this device?

If WURFL can not, can you please give me any suggestion how to detect device if no UA? What other way can do it?
