Mobile Joomla 3.0.alpha
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.
Two days ago, my laptop has broken down; therefore, last versions of all files of developed Mobile Joomla 3.0 have been lost. 
Thankfully, on the other computer it was saved files of ten-day prescription. From here a rule: always duplicate the data and on a regular basis make backups of the most valuable information. I have decided that the best way to duplicate Mobile Joomla files is to upload them to this site. Therefore receive Mobile Joomla 3.0.alpha!
I’ll update as far as possible these files with the indication of updating date and the basic changes.
I ask you to check the Mobile Joomla where only it is possible (in particular, I recommend ready.mobi). And inform me on all found out errors and problems.
New changes have been added in the developed version:
bot_mobile_joomla:
- Support of three templates: for “WAP2/XHTML-MP”, “WAP/WML”, and “I-MODE/CHTML” versions of a site.
- There are some alternative ways of checking for mobile devices.
- Support of WURFL library (WURFL database it is not included into bot, and contains in a separate file).
- Now it is not necessary to do a patch of a cache-core for correct work with subdomains. It is possible to specify separate directories for cache files.
- On the fly substitution of individual files for any components is added.
template_mobile_pda:
- Work of standard components is intercepted for the purpose of tableless layout formation.
- ImageAdaptation script is included. It allows (on basis WURFL) to adapt the size and a format of images that mobile devices could display them correctly (for work of the script it is necessary to create the table in a database).
Notes on installation:
For WURFL work, it is necessary to upload two xml-files to a server (the files are contained in mobile_joomla_wurfl_db archive).
For ImageAdaptation work, it is necessary to create the database table (click the corresponding link in parameters/description of bot).

Does it also work with Tera-WURFL? (http://www.tera-wurfl.com/)
Same as wurfl but using a mysql database with the devices info. Loads much faster then parsing the xml files

In WURFL quite good caching is used. That is parsing is carried out only once, and then the information on each device is stored in a separate file, access to which is quickly enough (most likely, faster, than query to a SQL-server).

I am trying to install this setup on my joomla site. I installed the bot, modules and template. When I click on Download WURFL I receive a 404 Not Found error. Anyone know why?
January 8th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
I solved my problem. I am working within a sub-domain so I just needed to copy the links in the bot instructions and add my domain.

Really, current version of Mobile Joomla doesn't work pretty on subfolders (some links are broken). But this problem already solved, and I'll release new files soon.

Hi - can you tell me if this will run on Joomla 1.0.13 or Joomla 1.5?
Do you have any installation and setup guidlines?
Thanks.

Woody:
Now it's run on Joomla!1.0.x (for Joomla!1.5 PDA-plugin is available only), but I'm going to make version for Joomla!1.5 too.
