Output the link directly with a function instead of a shortcode?

  • Hi,

    great plugin, but I’ve got two things to set up.

    1. Could I return the link for mobile devices in php by outputting the function ‘avrgmobdtct_mobsitelink_sc()’ or a part of it instead of using the shortcode [mobilesitelink text=”Override” class=”override” page=”override”]?
    Do I need to load a plugin to a specific location to where I want to output the link?
    Would it work if I just paste avrgmobdtct_mobsitelink_sc() there?

    2. How could I turn on the redirect for the tablets? Mobile Detect class checks for the tables also doesn’t it?

    Thanks in advance!
    Best regards,
    Dmitri

    Ok, I’ve found the solution to #2:
    I just needed to change this line:
    if ($detect->isMobile() && !$detect->isTablet())
    into that:
    ($detect->isMobile() or $detect->isTablet())
    inside of ‘average-mobile-detect.php’ file.

    Why do you check for $_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’] in your ‘avrgmobdtctRedirect’ function actually and what do the ‘add_class_mobile($class)’ function does?
    add_class_mobile($class)
    {
    $class[] = ‘mobile-detected’;
    return $class;
    }
    add_filter(‘body_class’,’add_class_mobile’);

    Sorry for the delay in reply.

    1. I don’t know if calling avrgmobdtct_mobsitelink_sc() directly would work or not. Never tried it. I would suggest trying it on a test development site. Otherwise, you can echo do_shortcode(‘[mobilesitelink text=”Override” class=”override” page=”override”]’)

    2. Yes at this time you have to edit the plugin files in order to change the classification of tablets. That might change in the future.

    * We check for $_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’] in case the mobile site has a “View Full Site” link on it that links to the desktop website. If the visitor clicked such a link, the desktop website has to know this or it will just immediately send the visitor right back to the mobile site.

    * The add_class_mobile function adds class “mobile-detected” to the body element if the device has been detected as a mobile device or tablet. This is useful if you want to style your desktop website differently when viewed on a mobile device.
