This very useful solution basically offers a single regular expression that is capable of detecting 15777 devices and 15606 user agent strings (as of this writing), which encompasses nearly all major devices detected by WURFL. You can download it in 16 different flavors, ranging from Apache to IIS to Nginx rewrite rules, to pretty much any popular web development environment, such as Javascript, Python, Rails, Perl, PHP, ASP, C#, and more.
Android tablets, iPads, Kindle Fires and PlayBooks are not detected by design. To add support for tablets, add |android|ipad|playbook|silk to the first regex.
It is released into the public domain with the Unlicense.
In my case, I opted for the Apache rewrite condition. In the following example, I added an extra twist: if a mobile browser requests the same "regular" URL within a 24 hour period, the redirect will only happen on the first request. So I set a cookie with an expiration time of 1440 minutes.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !nomobilesplash

My name is Fulvio Casali, and I live and work in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, WA (USA). I have 20 years of software development experience, at all levels of business scale, in different sectors and industries, proprietary, commercial and open source. Since 2004 I have been more and more involved in community nonprofit organizations, in particular focusing on various aspects of Sustainability, founding some myself, and serving on the board of directors of others as well as helping plan conferences. Thus, for the last seven years I have devoted my passion and my professional skills to helping organizations like yours address the most pressing needs our planet is facing, and I am intimately familiar with this kind of work.
Perhaps you have already heard of Plone, or your current website runs on Plone. I have 4 years' experience developing and supporting dozens of Plone sites. I host many of my clients' websites on my server infrastructure. I enjoy helping my clients get the most out of their Plone site, and I nurture partnerships between my company and other solution providers, both in Seattle and the rest of the world.
Plone is an open source web content management system. It is a well-established, mature platform, among the top 2% of all open source projects worldwide, with 340 core developers and more than 300 solution providers in 57 countries. The project has been actively developed since 2001, is available in more than 40 languages, and has the best security track record of any major CMS. It is owned by the Plone Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, and is available for all major operating systems.
Plone is on a continuous improvement roadmap, and offers a consistent upgrade path between different versions, thus guarding against vendor lock-in.
And Plone is accessible, powerful, scalable and is easier to use than most other content management systems.
]]>There is no better way for plugging into the Plone community than to show up at any one of the many events happening year-round and worldwide
For the seventh year, a contingent of Plone professionals again converged on the classy Hotel Mediterraneo in Sorrento for the annual Plone Open Garden, and I counted myself among the lucky ones to partake in the five days and four nights of intense, yet relaxed coding, sharing and - most of all - bonding with other members of this extraordinary community. For some years now I had PLOG on my radar, but this year was my first opportunity to experience it first-hand. The superb dining and the impeccable style of the hotel's ambiance and of its garden certainly helped, but the overwhelming feeling I got from all fifty-odd participants was one of delight at being reunited one more time and have a chance to spend a few days together doing what we all love to do. Coming from all corners of Europe (Finland, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, Slovenia, Catalonia, Germany, Spain, and, of course, Italy) and from as far as Brazil, not to mention yours truly from the United States, for many this was the first chance to meet face to face since the October 2012 Plone Conference in Arnhem. All our electronic communications channels notwithstanding, the Plone community is very much a human community, and humans need personal interactions to reinforce this sense of belonging everybody craves. Anyone out there wanting to find ways to plug into Plone, or just learn more about it - take note: there is no better way than to show up at any one of the many events happening year-round and worldwide. Without aiming to detract from any of them, in my humble estimation, PLOG tops them all. My heartfelt appreciation goes to the Abstract team who made it all happen, fearlessly led by Maurizio Del Monte.
From the many excellent morning talks in the Speakers' Corner and all the conversations and sprints that happened on this occasion, I got the distinct sense that the energy and momentum behind several strategic directions are significantly increasing: to name a few, the marketing effort and the upcoming plone.com and the Products Party.
Personally, with Asko Soukka's help I learned how to integrate plone.app.robotframework (slides), Travis continuous integration tests, and Saucelabs into any given add-on, which is a terrific testing framework, and I integrated robot tests into Plomino. I enjoyed learning about NixOS, plone.app.contenttypes and plone.app.widgets. I also want to re-share a 2007 paper by Jonah Bossewitch: Fabricating Freedom: Free Software Developers at Work and Play. Brought to our attention over dinner and tweeted by Silvio Tomatis, Jonah paints a picture of the open source community, and the Plone community in particular, in which many of us will not fail to recognize ourselves.
Please enjoy some pictures I took at PLOG, and now Onwards to Brazil!
