Description

This plugin detects the client device in a simple way at php level.

Identify the device with a CSS body class

• For a desktop in linux

• For a desktop in Mac

• For an iphone mobile

• For an iphone mobile landscape

• For an android mobile

And also for IE 😉

How to indentify the device

<?php
if ( is_tttdevice('desktop') ) {
    echo "this is a desktop device";
}
elseif ( is_tttdevice('mobile') ) {
    echo "this is a mobile device";
}
elseif ( is_tttdevice('tablet') ) {
    echo "this is a tablet device";
}
else {
    echo "Opps...  we don't know what this device is!!";
}
?>

How to remove the sidebar for mobile only

<?php
if ( ! is_tttdevice('mobile') ) {
    get_sidebar();
}
?>

This means, the sidebar will not show in mobile devices. This is not the same has “hidden” in CSS, with TTT Devices the code is not sent to the client.

Other keywords to detect devices

<?php
if ( is_tttdevice('iphone') ) {
    echo "this is an iPhone";
}
if ( is_tttdevice('android') ) {
    echo "this is an android";
}
if ( is_tttdevice('windowsphone') ) {
    echo "this is an windows phone";
}
if ( is_tttdevice('mobile') ) {
    echo "this is a mobile";
}
?>

Stop loading some js for mobile

It is very useful if you need make your site faster for mobile or tablet, these browsers can’t handle well some javascript effects. You can stop loading them in mobile devices. Example:

In your functions.php file:

function heavyanimation_script() {
    if ( is_tttdevice('desktop') ) { 
        wp_enqueue_script( 'heavyanimation', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/havyscript.js', array('jquery'));
    }
}   
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'heavyanimation_script');

This means that js only loads in desktop devices, easy 🙂
