The Mobile Tools module provides Drupal developers with some tools to assist in making a site mobile.
This functionality of the module contains:
- Detection of the user agent: is the user accessing from a mobile device, or from a desktop device. Support for third party modules is possible. Currently following modules can take over device detection:
- Browscap: based on Browser detection
- Wurfl: based on Device detection
- Automatic redirection to the mobile site
- Automatic theme switching, based on device type (iphone, android, blackberry, ... )
- Integration with Panels through a Ctools plugin.
- Notification for mobile users that a mobile site is available when they are looking at the desktop site
- Adding a mobile context to the permission system: this way you can use role based permission modules to define
what a mobile user can / cannot do on your site, or what content he can see or not. Following modules can be used together with this module: - Change the number of nodes that will be displayed on the front page
Mobile Tools does not provide a mobile theme, but can be used together with mobile themes or content adaptation services.
This module is being sponsored by Siruna. The module is designed to complement their mobile service but is perfectly usable standalone.
