Hi, I installed MJ v1.0 RC4 onto Joomla 1.7. I had a problem and thought I'd describe how I solved it. Maybe someone else will benefit.
I was able to see the iphone version of the site when using the iphone; I still saw the desktop version of the site when I used the desktop. This was all good.
But, in the iphone browser, when I clicked the link that appears at the bottom of the iphone page that reads "standard version" , the page refreshed and once again I saw the iphone version of the site. The site url in the address bar changed to server/site/?device=desktop, but the appearance of the page in the iphone browser remained the same.
Trying server/site/?device=iphone on the desktop, I got the desktop page - in other words no change from normal.
-------
The problem was my rewrite rule, in .htaccess. Actually I am using IIS and IIRF on Windows, not Apache and mod_rewrite, so the file to change was iirf.ini. But they are equivalent. Anyway, the rewriterule was silently removing the query string from the URL. When I fixed the rewriterule to include the QSA option, everything worked fine.
