WPtouch iPhone Theme (part 2)

This a continuation from my previous post on WPtouch. In that post I explained how to add additional user agent support by modifying the wptouch.php. Also I mentioned the pain associated with this method – each time you update the plugin you have to edit the $useragents array. I suggested to give an option in the admin panel to add extra user agents. I’m not sure – may be after seeing my post WPtouch decided to give an option for that in the admin panel

Here is the good news – yes now you can add “Custom User-Agents” to WPtouch! Below is a screen-shot from ABCoder’s WPtouch settings:

I’ve added these user-agents:

playstation, samsung, wap, windows ce, wm5 pie, iemobile, symbian, series60, series70, series80, series90, blackberry, midp, wml, brew, brew, xiino, blazer, pda, nitro, netfront, sonyericsson, ericsson, sec-sgh, docomo, kddi, vodafone

A really handy way to check whether it is working or not – add webkit at the end (certainly with a comma before it) and visit your site from Google Chrome. If you see the iPhone version everything is perfect! Don’t forget to remove “webkit” before you go live.
