PDA issues

Post by midway31 »

I have a site nearly complete but the client cannot view the menu on it. I do not have a PDA so advice would be appreciated. They use Windows mobile 6 pro Using telstra
Also the banner is not done as yet so ignore the banner as it is not finalized and they designed the banner and like it

Any help would be appreciated. ;D

WM6 breaks the rules, it uses both the screen and mobile stylesheets so the PDA Simulator is wrong

You could check the user agent and set special styles for this. There's a stylesheet switcher in forge ...

Can you explain further on the steps required as I am sure others will strike the same issues along the way

The user agent for Windows mobile 6 is something like this
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile m.n)
http://blogs.msdn.com/iemobile/archive/ ... obile.aspx

So you have only to check this string if it contains IEMobile. Insert the following code instead {stylesheet}

Code: Select all

{if eregi("IEMobile",$smarty.server.HTTP_USER_AGENT)}
{stylesheet name='name_of_your_special_CSS_for_IEMobile'}
{else}
{stylesheet}
{/if}

A bit more info on where to insert exactly would be good.
What and where?
