Issue Summary

Greetings.

I have setup the module and the mobi theme, but the Opera mobile browser shows a common browser theme.

Adding "oper" to the browser.inc file started blocking the normal browser, naturally.

Adding PPC and sv1 didn't do a thing.

What should I do?

User agents (on an ASUS Windows Mobile 5 phone):

As mobile:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; PPC; 240x320) Opera 8.65 [en]

As desktop:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) Opera 8.65 [en]

Thanks.

Hi,

I had to remove PPC as it was conflicting with Safari on Mac.

Current implementation I have installed on my sites has additional trapping for the Opera browser,
but I cannot guarantee to get everything.
It is only lightweight after all..

I don't have access to the core files at the moment, my PC is in a state of semi-disrepair at the moment,
however you can check to see if this line is included in accessibility.php file:

$extra = array ('MIDP', 'symbian', 'phone', 'palm', 'ipaq', 'Googlebot-Mobile');

The MIDP should catch the Opera browser on a hand-held in most cases.
You could add CE somehow into the equation but you need to make sure it doesn't conflict with anything else.

As a desktop I don't think there is anyway this module would catch that unless SV1 is specific to that browser/phone, then it can be added to the list...

Just to clarify, "As desktop" meant that the mobile phone had the settings to display the site as a desktop browser would. We are not talking about desktop browsing here.

Do I just enter "Windows CE" or I need some characteri in there? Or just "CE"?

Thanks.

Provided that the $extra variable is there,
I would add 'Windows CE' as CE would probably conflict with other non-mobile browsers.

Let us know you get on.
I cannot test all devices, so I know this script falls short on many aspects.
