Mobile_fu shows Mobile Site to Search Bots (googlebot) instead of Desktop Site about mobile-fu HOT 8 OPEN

I can confirm this issue as well.

from mobile-fu.

me too. any ideas how to fix this?

from mobile-fu.

in the mobile_fu.rb in the vendor/pugins/mobile_fu/lib/mobile_fu.rb look at the method

is_mobile_device?

Do a check on the request.user_agent to see if it matches any of the publicly known search bots: ["googlebot", "msnbot", "mediapartners-google", "ia_archiver", "ask jeeves", "teoma","msnbot-media", "msnbot-webmaster"]

thats roughly what I did to fix

from mobile-fu.

it should be possible somehow to set the default-case to desktop-view. the same seems to happen in internet explorer 8. if the regexp for mobile devices does not match it could render desktop by default, no?

hrmh..
well now i fixed it like this:

before_filter :set_default_response_format

def set_default_response_format
   request.format = :html if params[:format].nil?
end

it works with ie8, but i guess ill have to wait and see what the contents of the google cache for our site will be.

check google webmaster tools there is something called check as google bot which will allow you to see what the google bot see when it visits your page otherwise you are going to have to wait a while for the google cache to update...

This seems to be a Rails 3 peculiarity, not explicitly a mobile_fu thing. If request.format is nil (for example, when type / is requested, which is what Googlebot asks for), Rails prefers templates that match .mobile.erb over .rhtml. Changing our (very old) file extensions from .rhtml to .html.erb fixed this problem for us.
