[Zope-CMF] Redirection of mobile users

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

Have you considered something similar to the toggleSkin recipe on zopelabs?
This uses hostname as a determiner of the skin that it loaded.  However,
there is nothing (I don't think at least) that says you can't use useragent
in an access rule script similarly...

http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/1028172355 is the recipe.  There is a
typo/bug in the last line of the code, the last comment on the page
addresses this (changeSkin() takes the name of the skin, not the request
object)...

Good luck.

Sean

Subject: [Zope-CMF] Redirection of mobile users


I want to perform redirection of mobile users to a 'Mobile' skin that is 
stripped down.

I want this function to be performed before any object in my portal is 
called, in case a mobile user calls an object like an article.

I am going to use this bit of python in my main_template skin to detect if 
the user is a non-PC user:
  python:request.HTTP_USER_AGENT[:7]!='Mozilla'

Any suggestions on how to have the skin change to 'Mobile' if the above 
condition is met, before the page fully loads in its generic skin?

Thanks,

Chad Nantais
