user agent switcher and act_if_mobile
i don’t see an official support thread for act_if_mobile, but i’m wondering if anyone is able to get this firefox extension to work with the plugin?

Hi Elliott,
You can switch user agents in Safari without a plugin. I tested the act_if_mobile on it and it seems that it works as expected.

Re: user agent switcher and act_if_mobile
thanks yiannis. I have a problem here because the safari user agent switching works fine. for example going to cnn.com shows a mobile site. but when i go to my own site, these user agents aren’t emulating anything. load it up on my iphone and i’m seeing what act_mobile is trying to do.
also does this code look correct?
<txp:act_if_mobile>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<txp:css name='iphone' />" type="text/css" media="handheld" />
<txp:else/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<txp:css />" type="text/css" media="screen" />
</txp:act_if_mobile>Offline
Re: user agent switcher and act_if_mobile
Your code seems fine and act_if_mobile seems buggy.
as the else statement is not behaving properly
In the case of a screen user agent the site looks ok but when I chose iphone 4.1 both stylesheets load.
Did you try <txp:else />, with the space after the e?

Re: user agent switcher and act_if_mobile
ok i seemed to have ironed this out. the bug in the code was
<txp:css name='iphone' />which should be
<txp:css n='iphone' />what doesn’t make sense to me is textbook says it should be name=”“
and i did at that space too around the else for insurance.

Re: user agent switcher and act_if_mobile
one more thing: i need to figure out how to add a link that says “view full site”. so it somehow has to override what act_if_mobile is doing. does anyone know how i can do this?

It is name. The attribute was changed to name, and the n deprecated, in 4.3.0 release. Just as Textbook’s <txp:css /> page states.

Elliott,
Looking at your site and looks fine now when switching user agents but when I go to ipad it still shows the iphone css. Are you working on a solution for that?

Hey thanks for checking it out. I was recently wondering about the iPad so it’s good that you brought this up. I am going to guess that the act plugin redirects iPad as a mobile device? If so I will have to adjust because it’s more of a desktop design, right?

yes

I would think so.
Maybe a liquid layout might be the answer or using min max widths… not sure

Re: user agent switcher and act_if_mobile
does anyone know how i can edit the act_if_mobile plugin so that it doesn’t treat the iPad as one of these mobile sites?
