Hacking WordPress to Automatically Generate WML for WAP Devices - Part II

Posted in Blogs, programming, technical at 7:42 am by spryken

Well, I finally was able to hook up with Bob Porter to do some testing…… I cannot say I was pleased with the results. The very same redirect codes that work in a stand alone script were not working. The only difference was the “IF” statement to determine if the browser was WAP enabled.

After a day of email communication, we finally got together via phone. Then it was about a 1/2 an hour before I had the AHA moment.

We have successfully tested the automatic discovery of WAP enabled devices!! At least for Windows CE based devices. So, I am declaring success.

If you have some other WAP device, please test it here and let me know the results.

Here is the index.php that I created to replace the one provided by WordPress… If you use it, you will have to modify the location you redirect to.

<?
$pos = stripos($HTTP_ACCEPT, "VND.WAP.WML");
if ($pos === false)
{
 
 $pos = stripos($HTTP_USER_AGENT, "WINDOWS CE");
 if ($pos === false)
 {
  define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
  require('./wp-blog-header.php');
  exit(0);
 }
 else
 {
 header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
 header( "Status: 301 Moved Permanently" );
 header( "Location: http://www.spryken.com/blog/wp-wap.php" );
 exit(0); // This is Optional but suggested, to avoid any accidental output

 }
}
else {
 header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
 header( "Status: 301 Moved Permanently" );
 header( "Location: http://www.spryken.com/blog/wp-wap.php" );
 exit(0); // This is Optional but suggested, to avoid any accidental output
}
?>
