I have some basic respond_to blocks that essentially look like this:
respond_to do |format|
format.iphone { render }
format.mobile { render }
end
This is working great right now and I have it all over the place in my
code. Kind of odd that there''s no format for just plain ol''
HTML
right? Right. Since I''m not building a desktop browser version yet,
I''m not terribly concerned about supporting desktop browsers, but I do
want something that at least works. But here''s the problem:
- the iphone version doesn''t work on all desktop browsers and
won''t
for the foreseeable future (yeah, so i went a little iphone crazy)
- the mobile version''s MIME type is
"application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml"
which won''t work on desktop browsers
For now what I''d like to do is render the mobile version to desktop
browsers but with a mime type of "text/html". Question is, what is the
easiest way to accomplish this given a fair amount of existing respond
to blocks and templates named with *.mobile.erb
I''m tempted to just take the easy way out and change the mime type of
mobile to "text/html", but am curious if there are any smarter
alternatives.

But maybe it''s as simple as changing all templates named "*.mobile.erb" to "*.erb" so that format.html can find them. Or if that doesn''t work use a variation on the render call to force the html format to render the mobile template. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

> or use partials. > > PhillipGood idea. I ended up actually not using partials (since it would involve moving a bunch of files around). But this combo of methods seems to work: respond_to do |format| format.iphone { } format.mobile { } format.html { render :action => "theaction.mobile.erb" } end This almost just works, but rails doesn''t know how to find the mobile layout. So I did this: layout :force_to_mobile_layout def force_to_mobile_layout if @iphone # only trick part: since :iphone format is just an alias for text/html, we have to do our own check "application.iphone.erb" else "application.mobile.erb" end end --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
