wurfl | Library for manipulating the WURFL using ruby | Data Migration library

When the button is pressed to manually go to mobile or desktop, you can set a cookie like so:

document.cookie = "forceMobile=true";

then just read the cookie in your if statement like so:

No one has answered yet, but I actually found the solution and rather than deleting the question I thought I'd post what I did to solve it instead, for any future devs with this issue.

It was just a file permissions issue. I navigated into the WURFL directory to where it specified:

/Library/WebServer/Documents/WURFL/examples/resources/storage/persistence

Then ran a recursive file permissions edit:

sudo chmod -R 666 wurfl_1711

After that I reloaded the site and it gave the same error for a different folder, so I navigated to that one and did it again.

Hope this helps someone!

So there are a couple of components to the WURFL module and it looks like the issue could be a mismatch on the different components. I would make sure that your libwurfl and wurfl infuze version numbers are the same (the latest version is 1.8.4). Check out the first section of the documentation for more information on how to install libwurfl.

Next I would make sure that your nginx.conf file is appropriate for the version of wurfl you are using. There have been some big changes in the last few versionsof wurfl that may affect how it performs. You can check the documentation for an example configuration file for the latest version of wurfl. If you are using an older version, you can check the readme provided with the release.

If fixing these doesn't help, let me know what infuze version number you are working with so I can try to replicate your issue.

I traditionally detect browsers on the server side.

My reasons for detecting browsers to change what html I render before the application loads. This is why server side detection worked best for my use cases.
