Mobile Add-On redirection question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

We may have a unique problem, and I can't think of any way of resolving it. As the subject states we have the mobile add-on for our shopping cart, we also have a design gallery created in our cart that gives our customers design ideas as well as an easy way to buy the parts for that design. You can see it here:

Well it doesn't work with the mobile add-on. As you can see here:

https://shop.rings-things.com/cart/m/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=4074

We would like to do some advertising of the gallery using QR codes (derp, moment not  QWERTY). Since those codes are used on mobile phones this obviously doesn't work because of the automatic redirection. Is there any way to tell the add-on not to automatically redirect?

	Hi Todd, There's a couple pieces to what you are asking for. Once a mobile user arrives at the proposed link, it seems you would want to selectively defeat the redirection code that sends all mobile requests to the mobile home page. I would counter with the alternative of allowing them to see the mobile version of the link. Step 1 is to alter the mobile detection code to parse the URL and substitute the PC folder for the M folder. Probably not a huge effort. Then there's the matter of SEO-friendly URLs. Early Impact does not currently support that feature for mobile. As such, and since we simply could not build www.tastefulgarden.com/store/m without that support, we created it. We also created support for the viewContent.asp page in mobile. We've provided the resulting code to Early Impact, and on whatever schedule works for them, invited them to introduce that feature to their distribution code. Until such a new release becomes available from EI, we can make it available to you directly for a nominal fee. Feel free to contact me.

	Hi Greg, Thanks for talking to me last night about this I really do appreciate it. We've been talking about this internally and what is being said is that we would need to be able to do something like this in the mobile site https://shop.rings-things.com/cart/pc/A-Charmed-Life-Necklace-c4708.htm The ability to add stock items through the admin panel for the content pages would be key so the customers can see the gallery item and then order the parts. Currently content pages don't allow for that without hand coding each product.

	If that's the case, it can likely be done, but I think a fair amount of consideration needs to be given to page layout.
