if you are a big fan of Radiant CMS (like we are) probably you are using Language Extension for redirecting your visitors to appropriate language pages.
How about redirecting iPhone users to an iPhone-only version of your site?

Today my teammate Volkan Caliskan launched iPhone-only site of Vayen and shared me a trick that They have found with my friend Mert Yentur,

Here comes the trick for redirecting iPhone users to a specific web page with Radiant Language Extension.
open your /vendor/extensions/language_redirect/app/models/language_redirect_page.rb
then change location method like:

def location
path = nil
languages.find do |lang|
path = location_map[lang[0..1]]
end
path ||= location_map["*"] || ‘/en/’
if (@request.user_agent.include?(”iPhone”)==true)
then
path = “http://www.vayentech.com/iphone/”
end
if path =~ %r{[:][/][/]}
path
else
@request.protocol + @request.host_with_port + path
end
end

as you’ve noticed, we have only added following lines, nothing more.

if (@request.user_agent.include?(”iPhone”)==true)
then
path = “http://www.vayentech.com/iphone/”
end

Hope this trick helps radiant fans :)
thanks to Volkan Caliskan & Mert Yentur for sharing the trick.
