843162 - urbanspoon.com doesn't recognize B2G UA as mobile

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Lawrence Mandel [:lmandel] (use needinfo)]

urbanspoon.com serves a desktop site to B2G. Bug 823364 added an UA override for this domain. The override should be removed once the domain serves mobile content to B2G. This bug tracks the evangelism for the site to recognize the B2G UA and the removal of the override at that time.

No progress. Sent a reminder to the contact at Urbanspoon.

Comment 5

[Karl Dubost💡 :karlcow]

Recontacted but I didn't get any more information except that the developers have been contacted. I invited the support team to tell the developers that they could participate here.

Comment 6

[Karl Dubost💡 :karlcow]

So far, the technical support is a kind of wall. There is no feedback from Urbanspoon developers if they decided to ignore the request. So not sure it has been properly communicated.  Searching here and there, I found http://www.urbanspoon.com/blog/2013/10/geek-new-chic/
and https://github.com/urbanspoon (not updated for a long time)

They seem to develop in Ruby, I wonder what UA detection framework they are using. And what it would take them to take into account more mobile devices.

Comment 7

[Karl Dubost💡 :karlcow]

Tried to contact two developers. Not sure it will work.

Comment 8

[Karl Dubost💡 :karlcow]

It worked. They deployed a fix in the afternoon. And it's live. Awesome.
Tested and closing as FIXED.
