Auto Template Switcher for iPhone

This module allows you to automatically switch to a different template just for iPhone or iPod users. For all other users using standard browsers (e.g. Mozilla, IE, Safari), they will see your default template. I designed this initially to serve different templates for iPhone/iPod users. But you can use this for other browsers too, for example, if you wish to serve different templates for iMac, Windows and Linux users. Demo ==== To see the module in action, 1) Install the module 2) Publish it in a module position in your home page. If you are using the standard Joomla installation with the standard templates, you can just try loading the home page using Mozilla, IE and iPhone. You will see your home page displayed in different templates. If you have your customized templates, go to Modules Manager and * Set the detect string for browser 1, 2 and 3 * Set the corresponding template for browser 1, 2 and 3 How it works? ============= The module uses $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] to detect user's browser. For example, the value returned by iPhone is: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 2_0 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/525.18.1(KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.1 Mobile/5A345 Safari/525.20 The program uses preg_match(), so you only need to use a string in $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] that uniquely identifies the browser you want to identify. For this case, the detect string can be as simple as "iPhone". The module allows you to specify up to 3 different browser user agents. For example, when you first installed the "Auto Template Switcher" module, the default settings are as follows: Browser 1: iPhone Browser 2: MSIE Browser 3: Mozilla For each browser, you specify the corresponding templates. The following shows the default settings when the module is first installed. The templates are those that come bundled with standard Joomla installation. browser1 = iPhone => template1 = beez browser2 = MSIE => template1 = beez browser3 = Mozilla => template1 = rhuk_milkyway default browser => template = rhuk_milkyway The default browser is used when there's no match against browser 1, browser 2 or browser 3. Making the template invisible ============================= Note that the auto-switching of the template is achieved through the use of module. The only purpose of the module is to detect the user agent and auto switch the template. It does not display anything. So if you set "Show Title" to "No", the module will be invisible. Unique Features =============== * Allow you to detect up to three different types of browsers (user agents). * Auto switching of templates based on the type of browsers. * A default template for use with all other browsers.
