CLS_DesignSwitcher

Uses a cookie to allow users to switch back and forth between the desktop and mobile themes as set using the native design exceptions under System -> Configuration -> Design.

How to Use

To use this module, first install it, then add a link into the footer of the mobile theme used on your site:

<a href="<?php echo Mage::helper('cls_designswitcher')->getMobileToDesktopUrl() ?>">View Desktop Site</a>

The controller for the designswitcher/switch/desktop route will place a USE_FULL_SITE cookie to indicate the design exception should be ignored. There is also a route to revert to the mobile theme (getDesktopToMobileUrl), although at this time it will not allow users of a desktop browser to view the mobile theme by clicking the link.

Installation

1. Copy module files into Magento root either manually or by using modman

2. Open app/etc/enterprise.xml and change global/cache/request_processor to CLS_DesignSwitcher_Model_Pagecache_Processor

   Note: This is an important step. If missed the full page cache will not load the correct page when the cookie is set or vice-versa. There is unfortunately no other way to override the EE request processor on FPC hits.

Compatibility

This was built and tested on EE 1.13.0.2 and then slightly modified before being published here after light testing. So it should work as described, but in case you find a bug, feel free to send a pull request.

Although it has not been installed nor tested in a Community Edition installation of Magento, it should work just fine with one caveat: the dependency on the Enterprise_PageCache module found in app/etc/modules/CLS_DesignSwitcher.xml must be disabled. Oh, and you can skip step 2 in the installation instructions above...
