Redirecting problems

[Cld]

Hello i have a little problem with my htacess i think. Redirecting is working fine until. I share my web through facebook share button on mobile device. And when i click the link on desktop i still get redirected to mobile version. That means if i add /m at the end of my url ex: www.aaa.com/m it redirects me to mobile version. Can someone help me with this prob. Here is both of my htacces files:

 

First one root htacces:

 

 
# Disable directory listing from this point
Options -Indexes
 
# Prevent viewing of htaccess file

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    # Disable rewrite for valid directory/files     
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

</IfModule>
 
<FilesMatch "\.(css|js|jpeg|jpg|png|gif|html|php)$">
    # Cache files for 1 WEEK
    #Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800, proxy-revalidate"
    # Remove ETags

Could anyone tell what code and in which of these files should i write ?

There is nothing in the root .htaccess that redirects to mobile, so either you're clicking a link to /m/something or your PHP code is doing the redirect.

Yes i am pressing a link /m/ so what would be the best way to still redirect it to dekstop version? Any solution here?

[requinix]

Current best practice, one I happen to quite dislike, is to use responsive design for your website: make it work on both desktop, tablet, and mobile devices by using CSS to affect what people see based on their device. For example, on a desktop (which has a large screen) most or all of the page appears normally, but on a phone (which has a small screen) some parts are hidden or otherwise altered so they appear differently. That results in one website running one set of PHP scripts with no URL rewriting necessary.

 

Besides that there are two tactics:

1. Using a bit of Javascript on the client to detect the device and automatically redirect to the other version of the website if the user landed on the wrong one and has not explicitly opted to view the other one (typically involving setting and checking for a cookie).

2. Do user-agent detection on the PHP side to perform a similar redirect.

 

#1 is the better of the two.

 

There are other concerns too:

- Search engines will penalize you for showing duplicate content at two different URLs. You need to use canonical URLs to indicate on the mobile site that the desktop site is the original source.

- If you use any sort of redirect then you should pick one as the "normal" site and always link to that. It's not so much a technical thing as it is ensuring that you treat your website as two different views of the same content, rather than as two different websites. Mobile users landing on the desktop site will be redirected so there's no problem there.
