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).

For WAP2 the bot substitutes tableless version of standard components (that files is part of template). There is no removing table-tr-td tags from content.
For WAP the bot remove all the table-tr-td tags because wap-devices have many problems with displaying of tables.
About previous questions:
1) When site uses iso-8859-1 codepage, then it's not necessary to specify codepage. In that case your site will be as if utf8-compatible.
2) You can either patch joomla cache core and keep cache pathes empty (I prefer this way), or set different directories for each domain (in this case you shoudn't patch joomla, but you should clear that caches on yours own).
3) The bot doesn't support such opportunity. If you set the same name for WAP2 and WAP subdomains, then WAP2-version only will be displayed for this subdomain.

Thanks for the feedback. I found out that the extra tr and td tags in WAP2 mode were injected because of my comment mambot. I will have to see if I can find a way to disable that mambot when in mobile mode - any suggestions? Maybe I will just regex it out. As for the encoding, the reason I was asking is that if the encoding is not explicitly specified then the http://validator.w3.org/ service complains.
Thanks and keep up the great work

Hi,
Sorry to bother you.
I installed both mobile joomla bot and template on my site www.dailytrust.com but am having a little problem. I am sure it will be from my configuration.
Please could you send me your e-mail so that i can create a username and password for you to help me take a look?
Please I will be most grateful.
Thank you
