Device Detector - A simple way to detect devices

monojnath
Synopsis

Device Detector is a simple, PHP-based browser and device(Desktop & Mobile)feature-detection module that can detect devices & browsers on its own without the need to pull from a central database of browser information and adds configuration classes to "Html Body Tag”, while the page gets rendered from the server end.

  • This module provides an admin configuration section, where the user can provide different class names for different conditions(browser & device wise).
  • This class names are then added to the html “
  • The class names for browsers are rendered based on the the admin configurations, using a browser’s(mainly) unique user-agent string as a key.
  • Mobile Detect Class, included in in the module itself, is used to collect and record any useful information's(like OS or device name) the user-agent string may contain, for rendering classes for device(Desktop & Mobile).
