Different default home page for mobile

I have created a separate menu for mobile versions of my site.

I have a category called latest, which shows my most recent articles.

I would like this to be the default home page, only for the mobile version.

If I make this the default page in the mobile menu it applies to my main site too.

Is there a way to easily create a different home page for mobile, based on an item in the mobile menu?

Hi

I'm afraid joomla allows just one default menu element, so the only option is to make this one page look differently for desktop and mobile. You can use modules to show the content and than module class suffix like " nomobile" or " mobileonly" to hide or show this modules on desired layout.

Or is there a way to change a file to send the mobile redirect to a specific menu item? In my case, to http://phildobbie.com/main/latest

Hi

Brilliant idea

Add this code to /layout/iphone.php and /layout/handheld.php

Code: Select all

if(JRequest::getVar(Itemid) = 'ID_OF_HOME'):
    header('Location: http://www.redirection.com/');
    exit;
endif;


Where in the file - within the body?


I seem to get errors wherever I put it.

Hi

Before any HTML starts. Try right before:

Code: Select all

// No direct access.
defined('_JEXEC') or die;


Sorry for being slow, what do substitute for 'ID-OF-HOME')

This is what I used:
if(JRequest::getVar(Itemid) = 'ID_OF_HOME'):
header('Location: http://www.phildobbie.com/main/latest');
exit;
endif;

and I get Fatal Error - can't use function return value in write context

Hi

'ID-OF-HOME' means that You should put an ID of a home element. But I've just noticed one mistake. Please use this fixed version of this code:

Code: Select all

if(JRequest::getVar(Itemid) == 'ID_OF_HOME'):
header('Location: http://www.phildobbie.com/main/latest');
exit;
endif;
