nobody seriously..this community is aweful..

OKI ;-)
U R RIGHT
U R CORRECT
WE ARE AWFUL.
AND.. SO R U ;-)

:-O

:-) there is a hook that you can set to see what view type the user needs

There are some groups that are utilising this already  eg iPhone etc

There is also documentation on how to proceed to get this working. I haven't looked into it much

<?php
$varsmobilecheck =isset( $vars['mobile']);
/* checking for whether the mobile variable is set or not, if not we double check and set the variable. this is done once.*/

if (!isloggedin()&& $varsmobilecheck==false){
$screensize = $_REQUEST['mobile'];
$_SESSION ['mobile']=$_REQUEST['mobile'];
/* the $_SESSION Variable is set, ELGG adds all session variables to the $var variable */

if (empty ($screensize)){ ?>
<!-- when the $screensize variable is empty javascript is used to refresh the page with a url to pass a variable based on screensize -->
<script type="text/javascript">
width = screen.width;
height = screen.height;
<!-- using both checks in case in the future its needed to be used -->

if (width > 0 && height >0) {
        height="off" <!-- set this to o
    if (height>500){n to work on theme from PC -->
    }
    else
    height="off" <!-- turn this on when ready for mobile theme -->
   
    window.location.href = "<?php $vars['url'] ?>"+"?&mobile=" + height;
    <!-- new url with a variable PHP can use, this code will run a second time now to pass the variable -->
} else
    exit();

</script>
<?php}}?> <!-- end mobile check -->

put this on top of the  page_elements\header.php

when installing your theme you might have to us the upgrade.php file to get things to resync correctly, but ELGG will now have $var ['mobile']  with either "on" or "off" to use in making decisions throughout your layout and CSS.

The next version of the Themer plugin will allow users to set their mobile preference so that regardless of how browser supplies the information, the user can set their preferred mobile settings.  For example, if you prefer to use the iPhone in landscape mode, the display will be formatted as such.

I was away on a conference and just got back.  More work to be done  -  hopefully in about 2 weeks. 

BTW, this community is terrific, making negative comments like you do really offends a lot of people - me included.
