Restrict access to magento admin based on user agent?

Question

I'm just trying to allow access to the magento admin panel based on user agent. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

Use MobileDetect.php ( http://mobiledetect.net/ ). It's a simple class to use.

require_once 'Mobile_Detect.php';
$detect = new Mobile_Detect;

// Any mobile device (phones or tablets).
if ( $detect->isMobile() ) {
    echo "Mobile";
}

// Any tablet device.
if( $detect->isTablet() ){
     echo "Tablet";
}

Edit 1: Added .htaccess redirect.

RewriteEngine On

# Check for noredirect
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)noredirect=true(&|$)
# Set a cookie, and skip the next rule
RewriteRule ^ - [CO=mredir:0:%{HTTP_HOST},S]

# Check if this looks like a mobile device
# (You could add another [OR] to the second one and add in what you
#  had to check, but I believe most mobile devices should send at
#  least one of these headers)
RewriteCond %{HTTP:x-wap-profile} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Profile}       !^$
# Check if we're not already on the mobile site
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}          !^m\.
# Check to make sure we haven't set the cookie before
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie}        !\smredir=0(;|$)
# Now redirect to the mobile site
RewriteRule ^ http://m.example.org%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

Edit 2: Another htaccess user agent redirect
