Question

I am not sure why this is not working! I have the code below in my beforeFilter() function inside my AppController, I am using CakePHP 2.2.2, I started using ‘$this->RequestHandler->isMobile()’ but that gave me an error. Looking at the CakePHP website I found that they had change the call to what I now use below.

However this does not work, when I view my site on my iPhone it should only echo a test message set on the view file, however it still goes to the default.cpt file for the whole site, which I thought should have been stop with the autoRender command?

So what I am doing wrong or have I not done something I should have?

  if($this->request->is('mobile')) {
      $this->isMobile = true;
      $this->set('isMobile', true );
      $this->autoRender = false;
      $this->render('../mobile/test');
   }

Many Thanks Glenn.

Have you tried something like this? Not able to test it, but it looks like it should work.

public $components = array('RequestHandler');

public function beforeFilter() {
    if ($this->RequestHandler->is('mobile')) {
        // Execute code only if client accepts is mobile
    } else {
        // Execute Normal Code
    }
}
