Hi, I have achieved the success by creating a custom theme which includes default portal pagebuilder2 theme and also the support for mobile devices (using IBM WebSphere Portal Mobile Experience V7.0). Now based on the ‘user-Agent’ detection in default.jsp,the appropriate theme is shown to the end user. 🙂

Thanks Mark for your time to respond to my query. I have gone through the article pointed out by you in your reply. Basically the section “Use CSS @media handheld” looks like more nearer to what I am looking at.

I also want to have only one version of the site and based on device type the portal site should render the look & feel compatible to that device. I know this can be done using MPA but just want to explore few other alternate to achieve this.

Thanks again.

In reply to Devendra.

You would have to implement some kind of device detection in your theme and redirect to the correct page on based on the device. Here is an article that might get you started in the right direction: http://webdesign.about.com/od/mobile/a/detect-mobile-devices.htm

Hi,

I have successfully installed IBM WebSphere Portal Mobile Experience V7.0 in my WPS 7.0.0.2

I have applied “Mobile” theme on a “test” page & accessed it through IPhone. I am able to get the mobile experience through that theme on the deployed portlet.

I am looking for a way to dynamically load the theme compatible to the client devices( PC/Laptop Browser or Mobile) making a request.

Can you please let me know how can I dynamically control the look & feel of same content rendered on my PC’s browser through “Page Builder” theme) and I-Phone access (through the “Mobile” theme) at runtime?
