[TYPO3-english] redirect mobile user

[Katja Lampela]

Hi Ton,
You might want to check this extension: cwmobileredirect

I use it just for recognizing the mobile device - so that I don't 
necessarily redirect but with this I can give conditions if the visitor 
is browsing with mobile device. (There is a core condition for this too, 
but I'm not sure how updated that data is. This ext is updated regurlarly).

I thought also to check if I could use the layout property of content 
elements and have that in my conditions, so that every time I choose for 
a content element layout3 (for example) it will not be rendered for the 
mobile device. This combined with media querys would be ideal, you 
wouldn't need to have a separate site for mobile devices.

Good mobiling :) Katja

Therefore I tried an html page with (<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.mydomainname.com/index.php?id=74/"></HEAD>). But what happens is, that when a mobile device is detected, it is sent to this index page and this index page sends him back to TYPO3. So I end up in an endless loop.
