PDA-mambot version 2.0 beta
Tags: joomla, pda, mambot, template
This project and information is deprecated. Please visit Mobile Joomla! project at mobilejoomla.com for the latest and best way of mobilize Joomla! web sites. Thank you very much for your support.
I suggest testing version 2.0beta of a pda-mambot and pda-subdomain-mambot (for previous version see “PDA-version of Joomla’s site” and “The PDA-version of a site as a subdomain“).
Capabilities:
1. To appoint for the pda-version different “main” page (homepage).
2. Set up display of a template:
- There are 6 positions in template
- It is possible to change names of positions from mambot settings
- To output pathway or not (or to don’t output only on “main” page)
- To call mosMainbody on the “main” page or not (i.e. to output the “main” page completely or to keep modules only)
3. A capability to transform page to the utf-8 encoding (for it the library iconv is necessary).
4. Completely set up head-part of the page:
- Joomla’s standard or simplified head block
- A capability to embed styles in the page instead of using separate file
- Set up of xml-head and doctype-head
5. A choice of content-type heading: text/html or text/xhtml.
How to install:
1. Install a pda-template-2.0
2. Install and publish (activate) pda-bot-2.0 or pda-subdomain-bot-2.0 (or both) depending on your needs.
3. Tune up mambot settings (optional).
For pda-subdomain-bot-2.0 don’t forget to apply Cache hack.

Good work physicist!
I also like your articles on reducing the number of Joomla queries etc. Interesting reading
An idea: Is there a way of detecting the user agent and automatically redirecting to the pda or www versions?

Hi Denis,
I don’t understand my needs
**
“2. Install and publish (activate) pda-bot-2.0 or pda-subdomain-bot-2.0 (or both) **depending on your needs**.”
I have J! running in a subdirectory of webRoot:
http://www.example.co.uk/subdirname/
and have set up a subdirectory pda
Should I redirect this to:
http://pda.example.co.uk/subdirname/
Which bot should I publish and use?
How do I tell the bot the subdirname? or is it picked up from config.php
Links don’t work if I redirect the subdomain.
Could you explain how I should have this set up please?
Thanks Teb!

Teb: To make working pda-subdomain it is enough to install pda-template-2.0 and pda-subdomain-bot-2.0. The bot doesn’t affect subdirname (it change domain only).

This is really really great work! Excellent!
I took a look at the code and was wondering if one can make the template work without the images, just plain text with links? Anyone?

Yes, it is possible to cut off all the “img” tags from page output, but it will increase CPU load (significantly or not—I don’t know).
Maybe, I include this opportunity in release version of pda-bot-2.0.

Hans: Try to uninstall old template and install this one (test version, for your own risk!!!).

Physicist: the imgcut pda-template works like a charm! Thank you very much.
As I mentioned in the email, I have AkoComment on my site, which shows in the PDA-template. On the bottom of every article on the frontpage and in the article itself, it says “Post a Comment” or “Send.” Do you know how to disable these things?
Thanks for a great template!
Best,
Hans

Strange. What version of Joomla do you use?
