different link target for different devices

[macangelo]

Hi all

I want to provide a link to a location. If the website is opened on a mobile device with iOS 6 with the Map-App from apple the location should be target at http://maps.apple.com/… - if not it should be http://maps.google.com/… - can I do that?

Thanks a lot

Hi nameless1

Yes, I do have questions:

can the user agent ask if it is iOS6 or higher or not (because than I call for the map app, otherwise for the google map app)
does this <!--if:XXXX-->Do that<!--/if-->-Thing have an else-Thing?

thanks a lot!

Please make a test in e.g. frontend_render/test_user_agent.php

Code: Select all

<?php
echo ("USER AGENT <br />\n --------------------------------- \n");
dumpVar($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);

echo ("phpwcms_getUserAgent <br />\n --------------------------------- \n");
dumpVar(phpwcms_getUserAgent());
?>

I do not know whether the php function HTTP_USER_AGENT returns the operating system version for iOS.

On Android devices, the OS version is displayed, e.g. for a GT-P6800

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.04; de-de; GT-P6800 Build/XXYYZZ) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/ 534.13

However, this is not yet implemented in the CMS. You can even add to this distinction in an frontend_render script.


[UPDATE]
I think there is a way to exttract the OS from the User-Agent. This solution can be queried with the built in if statements. -> iOS_V4, iOS_V5, iOS_V6 .....

frontend_init:
The simple version: User-Agent -> Extrahieren der OS Version von iOS

[/UPDATE]
