User Agent Detector
This system plugin detects the user agent of your website visitor and sets a session variable accordingly.
Based on the user agent, the plugin detects if the site is running on a desktop pc, tablet or smartphone. It can also detect if the visitor is a spider bot (search engine).
The session variable that is set is: ualayout. Possible values: desktop, tablet, mobile, bot.
