mobble

By Scott Evans

Description

mobble provides mobile related conditional functions for your site. e.g. is_iphone(), is_mobile() and is_tablet().

CSS media queries are great for creating responsive web designs but they do not always provide enough control. There are times when not all of the content, JavaScript or CSS on a page is relevant for a particular device. With the mobble functions you can make these kind of tweaks to your theme.

mobble can also add device information to the body class of your theme allowing you to easily target your CSS for different gadgets.

  • Code example - loading different navigations for mobile and desktop.

Installation

To install this plugin:

  1. Upload the mobble folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. เปิดใช้ปลั๊กอินผ่านทางเมนู ‘ปลั๊กอิน’ ในเวิร์ดเพรส

  4. If you want you can also disable the device specific body classes in the WordPress Admin->Settings->mobble setting section

FAQ

What functions are available?

The most useful ones are:

<?php
is_handheld(); // any handheld device (phone, tablet, Nintendo)
is_mobile(); // any type of mobile phone (iPhone, Android, etc)
is_tablet(); // any tablet device
is_ios(); // any Apple device (iPhone, iPad, iPod)
?>

You can also use:

<?php
is_iphone();
is_ipad();
is_ipod();
is_android();
is_blackberry();
is_opera_mobile();
is_symbian();
is_kindle();
is_windows_mobile();
is_motorola();
is_samsung();
is_samsung_tablet();
is_sony_ericsson();
is_nintendo();
?>

Inspecting Mobile_Detect.php will also reveal some other useful tools.

Do you have any examples?

Yup. This first example disables the sidebar for mobile/phone devices:

<?php
if (!is_mobile()) {
    get_sidebar();
}
?>

This second example loads a specific stylesheet for Apple devices (iPhone, iPod and iPad):

<?php
if (is_ios()) {
    wp_enqueue_style('ios', get_template_directory_uri() . '/ios.css');
}
?>
Caching

Please note that in certain setups caching will cause undesired behaviour. If your cache is set too aggressively PHP will be skipped and the device detection will not work.

Reviews

Thank you!

hey scott, just wanted to drop by and to say thank you! for the time and effort that went into creating and maintaining this plugin.

I use it in any project and it made my life a lot easier

Great plugin

Plugin is very simple and works very well. Great example of the plugin that does one job and does it well. Very appreciated!

Great plugin but not compatible for cache plugin.

I installed this plugin to serve mobile banners on a responsive design site. It works well but it is not compatible with cache plugins (I’m using WP Super Cache). The cache plugin generate only one version of the page and once generated it is served both on desktop and on mobile site.
I had to disable cache for mobile pages to solve this problem but I’d like to serve cached pages also on mobile devices :((

Does it exist any hope this will be fixed by you or by SuperCache developer team?
It should be enough to have two version of a page: desktop and mobile (based on a user-agent list).

Please fix it :))

Nice plugin reduce 3G data

Nice plugin, should be core in wordpress.

But there is no option to add button to switch between mobile and desktop version.

There is no option to create direct link to browse mobile version from desktop browser for ex: m.domain.com.
