Hi,


I want to turn off the mobile version by default but want it to have it available for users by the yoursite.com/mobile-version link or even better by yoursite.com/mob


Who can help me with this?


thanks


Jordi

responded to a post earlier today about the mobile version, take a look at my answer there.


In short, don't use the mobile version. What. So. Ever.

I don't think that the mobile version is good for anything. It does not have any of the functionality that the desktop site has - so you cannot stay in touch with others through it - and you have to make duplicate pages which have a different URL. Seriously dude, use a responsive theme.

Jordi, you cannot separate mobile from core this is not possible as they work as whole.

what do you mean with separate?  i just want it as normal with mobile site on. but then the desktop site as default So the users can go to the mobile site from the footer.

That's what the stock mobile version does anyway, though seriously I'd say there's no point. Turn off the mobile version and use a responsive theme instead. It is no different for slow connections and provides all the functionality that you need.

Jordi, there is no special folder or sub-domain for mobile version. The system has another logic and works by using redirect functionality. That is why when you disable mobile ver.  you can not use a separate link and switch to mobile version in such way because you have completely disabled it in Admin Area.
