CakePHP AJAX Layout

Question

I\'m working with a CakePHP application and jQuery Mobile. In the CakePHP application, RequestHandler is turned on, now, jQuery Mobile makes all of it\'s requests as ajax re

Answer 1

The best sollution I think is to configure the request handler in before filter after the mobile browser was detected in your app controller:

public function beforeRender() {
  if($this->RequestHandler->isMobile()) {
      $this->theme = 'Mobile';//set your theme
      $this->RequestHandler->ajaxLayout = 'public';//this does the trick, set your mobile layout, $this->layout is simply ignored or overwritten by the component
  }
}
