Hi there! I'm currently trying to implement a mobile detect php script, so that mobile user will get a light version of a slideshow.
PHP Mobile Detect Script:
http://mobiledetect.net/
1. I placed the PHP script in the folder: /mdetect/MobileDetect.php
2. Created a plugin (see below) /plugin/function.mobile_detect.php
3. when I call {mobile_detect} my website only is displaying the html till the placed tag. No stylesheets are generated.
Code: Select all
<?php
function smarty_function_mobile_detect($params, $smarty)
{
include_once('/mdetect/Mobile_Detect.php');
$detect = new Mobile_Detect;
$deviceType = ($detect->isMobile() ? ($detect->isTablet() ? 'tablet' : 'phone') : 'computer');
$smarty->assign('deviceType', $deviceType);
}
?>
My steps to solve the problem:
1. Smarty 3 include php guide:
http://www.smarty.net/best_practices
2. Smarty debug = true (isn't generating any output)
3. Posting a forumpost
pls help

When working in PHP you need to be able to find, see, and interpret error messages. Check your error logs.

Why not use CGExtentions module?
Code: Select all
{cge_is_smartphone assign='is_mobile'}
{if $is_mobile}
...
{else}
...
{/if}

Thanks for quick reply.
@Rolf wow that's a quick and great solution. Didn't know you'd could do that with cgextensions
@calguy great tip, now I'm looking for the logs

Errorreporting enabled in the htacces
Code: Select all
php_flag register_globals On
# Level of log detail - log all errors
php_value error_reporting -1
# Write errors to log file
php_flag log_errors On
# Do not display errors in browser (production - Off, development - On)
php_flag display_errors On
# Do not display startup errors (production - Off, development - On)
# php_flag display_startup_errors Off
# Format errors in plain text
# Note: Leave this setting 'On' for xdebug's var_dump() output
php_flag html_errors On
Now it displays a error. (nice lessons learned here)
Warning: include_once(/home/vhosting/h/../plugins/mdetect/Mobile_Detect.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/vhosting/h/.../plugins/function.mobile_detect.php on line 5

Fatal error: Class 'Mobile_Detect' not found in /home/vhosting/h/.../plugins/function.mobile_detect.php on line 6
Now googling for a solution!

hahahahha yes the file was in the wrong directory
I thought when you refer to a /dir/folder/file.php it's a absolute path. But for PHP it means the refered file should be in the same folder.
thanks @calguy and @rolf
