Hi everyone,

Just a quick question. I’m still learning so please bare with me!

I’m looking into using ExpressionEngine to create a site which would also include a mobile version as well. I’d like to have a separate group of mobile templates.

Would it be possible to have a subdomain like m.mysitedomain.com point to mysitedomain.com/mobile and still have the EE url still work the way it’s supposed to?

If I’m posting in the wrong forum, please let me know! Thanks!

Yup, it’s quite possible. There are also a number of tutorials out there that show ways that this can be done in EE.

Great, thanks Erik. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t heading down a dead-end path!

Glad to help. This may help as well:

Awesome. My next question was going to be if there was a mobile detection add-on, but it seems you’ve already answered it before I could ask!

Thanks again.

If it helps, EE-garage’s config bootstrap includes some magic to help you use mobile-specific templates for your mobile subdomain:
