Description

Responsive Web Design is really really trendy (and mandatory) today. But in some cases it's not the best solution., _(*1)

What's include in this package ?

This package include the library MobileDetect and extend the Action Request class with two new methods:, _(*4)

• ActionRequest::isMobile()
• ActionRequest::isTablet()

You can use those methods in your own controller, Fusion prototypes, ..., _(*5)

No magic everything is configurable

Tweak a Fusion prototype to change the rendering by device type

prototype(Your.Package.CustomElement) < prototype(Neos.Fusion:Case) {
    default {
        condition = ${request.mobile}
        itemRenderer = Your.Package.CustomElementDefault
    }
    default {
        condition = true
        itemRenderer = Your.Package.CustomElementDefault
    }

    @cache {
        mode = 'dynamic'
        entryIdentifier {
          node = ${node}
        }
        entryDiscriminator = ${request.mobile : 'mobile' ? 'default'}
        context {
                1 = 'node'
                2 = 'documentNode'
        }
        entryTags {
                1 = ${'Node_' + node.identifier}
        }
    }
}

By using the dynamic caching mode you don't need to configure the upper cache segments., _(*6)

Completly different markup for Mobile, Tablet & Desktop

You can override your root Fusion conditions to select different rendering for different type of client:, _(*7)

root {
    mobile {
        @position = 'before default'
        condition = ${request.mobile && Configuration.setting('Ttree.Ress.enable.mobile') == true}
        type = 'Your.Package:MobilePage'
    }
    tablet {
        @position = 'before default'
        condition = ${request.tablet && Configuration.setting('Ttree.Ress.enable.tablet') == true}
        type = 'Your.Package:TabletPage'
    }
    @cache {
        entryIdentifier {
            mobile = ${request.mobile && Configuration.setting('Ttree.Ress.enable.mobile') == true ? 'mobile' : ''}
            tablet = ${request.tablet && Configuration.setting('Ttree.Ress.enable.tablet') == true ? 'tablet' : ''}
        }
    }
}

In this example the root cache entry identifier are configured correctly for mobile and table cache. Please make sure to configure your other cache segments correctly., _(*8)
