I need help getting some clarifications on how the mobile works. If I go to a direct link to a blog post using a mobile browser, it does not bring me to the mobile version of that blog post. Rather, my experience is that it brings me to what looks like the home page of the mobile site. Is this normal or do I have something configured wrong? I would think it should show me the mobile version of that blog post.

Thank you.

Something has to be wrong with your configuration or URL rewwriting rules - as you can see on our live site, mobile blog post links are working (http://monox.mono-software.com/MonoX/Mobile/blog/post/MonoX/7/Cloud-storage-for-your-data/ ). Is your URL format the same?

Thank you Dennis.

Please excuse the site constriction. It is under development. :)

This Link : http://familychefs.com/blog/post/Desserts/10/Strawberry-Jello-Mold/
Should resolve to: http://familychefs.com/MonoX/Mobile/blog/post/Desserts/10/Strawberry-Jello-Mold/

But, it resolves to: http://familychefs.com/MonoX/Mobile/Default.aspx


I did not change any of the rewrite code in the web.config file. It is as it was when I installed MonoX.

Dennis, FYI - When I link to the regular desktop blog link for your "cloud storage for your data" on your demo site http://monox.mono-software.com/blog/post/MonoX/7/Cloud-storage-for-your-data/ using my mobile device, I get a 404 error.

I guess that you want desktop pages to automatically redirect to mobile versions of that same page? It does not work like that by default: a mobile site is a completely separate section with separate pages, that does not follow the desktop site structure. Instead, you are redirected to the home page of the mobile version on your initial visit (based on several factors I can explain later), but you can still decide to go to the desktop version when you want. In the auto-redirect scenario that would not be possible, and it doesn't work so well for people with more capable mobile devices or tablets.
Let me know if that was your intention, so we could discuss this further.

Denis, thank you for the clarification. How it works is sufficient and for what I was intending to do there is a work-around that I can implement. My request here was for the clarification of how it works, and you provided that. Thank you.
