Hey Dustin,
thx for the great article.
Just wanted to point out, that the approach is not limited to a mobile version and is can be applied to serve ANY site using completely different settings on a subdomain.

So you can make activate/deactivate some apps on the different subdomains.
For example you could deactivate the admin-interface on your main domain and have an admin subdomain with the admin activated (and maybe only admin urls in admin_urls.py).

Dustin – thanks for sharing your solution. Right now I’m sharing all the same templates/views between my sites. Your approach provides a nice migration path on the way to fully separated sites (to which some sites will never go).

I’ll be using your approach along with a modified version of django-minidetector to support my domain and mobile subdomain:

Hi, my question could be very simple but I didn’t found answer.

“Since I am using mod_wsgi, I can create an alternate settings file for my mobile sub-domains”

BTW, I like the dumbed down concept and not using the other templates. It seems like that would cut some overhead and end up with a lot better looking mobile version. I don’t use Django on any of my projects, but I have a few that need a mobile version…

Having an active IRC channel is always a plus, as it really can make a lot of difference to get some real time help.

@Henrique: I didn’t want to mess with a middleware solution (I actually wrote sub-domain middleware that is posted in djangosnippets) mainly because I didn’t want to mess with setting up hosts in my test environment. I prefer to call the run server command for testing because on any given day I could be working on my app on a Ubuntu box, my Macbook Pro, or my Windows 7 box. I’m just too lazy to set up such a development environment in each.

@dryan: There are various options documented on the Internet on how to serve up the same views but modified for a mobile platform, but as I mentioned in the post, my mobile app is a different (dumbed down) app altogether. I didn’t want to use any of my views or templates from the original site, although this solution leaves to door open to do so.
