We’ve updated our automatic redirection code that many of you have added to your blog or website. This is the PHP code that automatically detects and redirects mobile visitors to your MoFuse mobile site.

The updated version now checks to see if the mobile user has visited your blog or website homepage and not a deep-link on your site.

For example: It’ll check to make sure you accessed  http://blog.mofuse.com and not http://blog.mofuse.com/2007/11/30/new-enhanced-mobile-preview/

If the mobile user has accessed a deep-link on your site we will not redirect them to your MoFuse mobile site.

We will only redirect them if they accessed ‘/’ — your homepage.

Why are we doing this?

MoFuse is not a mobile transcoding service, if you were to goto http://blog.mofuse.com/2007/11/30/new-enhanced-mobile-preview/ on your mobile phone you would automatically be redirected to your MoFuse mobile site homepage — not the content you were looking for.

This means no more broken links on your mobile site.

We recommend everyone currently using this feature of MoFuse to upgrade to the new version, the code is accessible from the same place.

What if my blog/website is in a sub-directory?

Once you paste the code into your website you can edit a line and specify the directory where your blog or website is located. There is an example in the code to help you do this.

Well, it appears our ‘Design’ page, the part of the application that lets you choose colors and other things for your mobile site, was crashing IE7 — spitting out an Operation Aborted message and then displaying a blank page.

That has been fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience it may have caused you.

Thanks  to Ty B. for letting us know about this big problem that we didn’t see!
