I had the idea to handle this with an extra route to mobile actions in
config/routes.php:
$subdomain = substr(env("HTTP_HOST"), 0, strpos(env("HTTP_HOST"),
"."));
if (strlen($subdomain) > 0 && ($subdomain == "m" || $subdomain ==
"mobile")) {
Router::connect(':controller/:action/*', array('prefix' => 'm'));
Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'index', 'prefix' => 'm'));
}
Instead of, or additionally to the subdomain check, you can put the
mobile check in the condition. This way your urls will look the same
like before but internally the mobile actions (and views) with prefix
m are used.
In the mobile action, in case you need the same data as the desktop
action, you can simply call it this way before the mobile view is
rendered:
function m_view() {
$this->view();
}
I don't know if this is best practice, but for me it's more clearly
arranged and you are more flexible if the mobile version differs alot
from the desktop version.

Michael
