Question

I wondering about the best way to redirect mobile users from my drupal site to a seperate mobile site on a different url.

I’ve looked at mobile tools but it seems a little to heavy for my needs. I’ve done this with flat html/php files using a mobile detect script and it works perfectly and is very straight forward.

I’m supposing that I can’t use .htaccess for this and any solution has to come from drupal. But I’m wondering about where to put the code so that it’s executed first.

Any ideas/tips/help much appreciated.

Answer 1

Your best bet would be to write a small module and implement hook_init() which happens before the page is even built.

function MYMODULE_init() {
  include("PATH/TO/Mobile_Detect.php");

  $detect = new Mobile_Detect();
  if ($detect->isMobile()) {
    header('Location: http://newdomain.com/');
    drupal_exit();
  }
}
