Re: [OpenBD] Determining Device Type via CFML

['Alan Holden' via Open BlueDragon]

Hey Jason; Mobile device detection is an imperfect skill, but there are a few established methods that folks still leverage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Mobile_Filter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_device_detection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agent I would also dig thru the archives of source code for the Mura CMS (getmura.com) to see how they do it / did it in CFML. I say "Did it" (past tense) - because the trend is really away from maintaining different sets of code and trying to anticipate every portal resolution out there (phone, tablet, small tablet, large phone, phablet?). Instead, to make use of a responsive page template: one that automatically adjusts to the client device portal size. http://html5up.net/ One set of source code, all device sizes. Problem solved.
