ullright goes mobile

How it works in ullright

Here's an old blog post about creating an iphone view:
http://www.symfony-project.org/blog/2008/06/09/how-to-create-an-optimized-version-of-your-website-for-the-iphone-in-symfony-1-1
Most of it is still valid and it works.

But there is one serious drawback: You have to provide a mobile template for each action.
That's why we created a tiny patch (for our "ullright" platform) to provide a fallback to normal templates in case there is no special mobile one.

Here are the required parts:

Mobile detection: This belongs into your project configuration:
http://trac.ullright.org/browser/trunk/plugins/ullCorePlugin/config/ullCorePluginConfiguration.class.php

Symfony patch enabling fallback to html templates: (Patches sfView.class.php)
http://trac.ullright.org/browser/trunk/plugins/ullCorePlugin/patch/sfView.patch.txt

Finally provide a mobile template (or not):
Normaly you would put your template in apps/frontend/modules/myModule/templates/myActionSuccess.php
Now you can provide a mobile template by creating the following file: apps/frontend/modules/myModule/templates/myActionSuccess.mobile.php

This also works for layouts, partials and components. Example: apps/frontend/modules/myModule/templates/_head.mobile.php
