PDA mambot 2.1

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.

Changes in the new version:

Now there is no division into “pda-bot” and “pda-subdomain-bot”. All is set up within the framework of one plugin.
It is possible to remove optionally pictures (img) and others tags (iframe, object, applet, embed. script) which can seem to you “superfluous” in the version for a pda.
It is possible to set a name of a subdomain (not necessarily pda.*).

Specially for developers - the global variable $ispda (or $GLOBALS[’ispda’]) is created (accepting value “true” in case of pda-version of a site, and “false” otherwise).
It is possible to install and uninstall a patch for joomla cache directly in mambot parameters (in a block of mambot description).
And others.

It is shortly planned to publish a series of illustrated articles devoted to installation and adjustment of this plugin.

Don’t forget to uninstall previous version of mambot and template before install new one.

Strange (I unpack it successfully). May be it is because archive contains subfolder. Try tar.gz-version: pda-bot-2.1.tar.gz

Physicist,

Looks like the bot has a problem when the site is in a subdir.
I changed pdabot.php (in line 102-103) to :
# if($botParams->get( ‘homepage’ ) &&
# ($_SERVER[’REQUEST_URI’]==’/’ || $_SERVER[’REQUEST_URI’]==’/index.php’) )
$uri = str_replace ($_SERVER[’REQUEST_URI’], ‘/’, $_SERVER[’SCRIPT_NAME’]);
if($botParams->get( ‘homepage’ ) && ($_SERVER[’REQUEST_URI’]==’/’ || $uri==’/index.php’) )

Now the bot is redirecting to the right url

Thanks.
But right way must be like:

$parsed=parse_url($mosConfig_live_site);
$path=isset($parsed['path'])?$parsed['path']:'';

$subdomain=$botParams->get('subdomainname').'.';
if( $botParams->get( 'subdomain' ) &&
   substr($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],0,strlen($subdomain))==$subdomain )
{
	$mosConfig_live_site='http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$path;
	$GLOBALS['ispda']=true;
}

if( $botParams->get( 'useragent' ) && CheckAgent() )
{
	$GLOBALS['ispda']=true;
}

if( $GLOBALS['ispda'] )
{
	$_COOKIE['jos_user_template']=$botParams->get( 'pdatemplate' );
	$homepage=$botParams->get( 'homepage' );
	if($homepage && ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']==$path.'/' || $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']==$path.'/index.php') )
	{
		$GLOBALS['pdahome']=1;
		$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']=$path.'/'.$homepage;
		if(substr($homepage,0,10)=='index.php?')
		{
			$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']=substr($homepage,10);
			parse_str($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],$_REQUEST);
		}
	}
}

Hi,

pda-bot.2.1.zip has still the same problem. Subfolders shouldn’t be a problem as template has also one.
If it can help you I am working on a Mac.

Have manually made fixes and seems to work.
Thanks for the assistance.

What is your joomla settings?
1. Joomla version
2. Cache (On/Off)
3. SEF (On/Off)
4. Full site address (e.g. http://localhost/joomla/)
5. PDA device
6. Address you set for pda-homepage

I am just extracting the file local on my system. No Joomla involved.
Using Mac OSX 10.4.10

Double-click on the template.zip -> no problem
Double-click on the bot give error : unable to unarchive ‘pda-bot-2.1.zip’ into ‘Desktop’. (Error 1 - Operation not permitted.)

I had no problem in opening this file (I use 7-zip). To make sure I had uploaded both zip and tar.gz archives (see links in the post).

By the way, Joomla! unpack and install this zip archive without problem.
