Works like a charm after applying the two little fixes from Tom and S. Woodside.

Thank you very much for this!

Very simple and easy to use. Made my day. Only required a tiny change:

Any more updates on this? I’d suggest putting it on Google Code to release it for evolution.
This is an important and necessary project; good work.

Great bit of work, cheers Mike. Just modified line 73 to;

if user_agent.index( ‘Gecko’ ) and !user_agent.index( ‘Nokia’)

Because a N95 uses Gecko (and I think preceding phones) and this was preventing it from returning a record.

Hey Rodney, Great ideas! Let me know if you work through some of them, I would love to give them a try and start to really spin up an official WURFL Rails plugin. - Mike

Mike, I was just starting to teach myself Rails and this was also my first idea for a project. Thanks for the jumpstart! I am thinking about extending the functionality to include a UI for “correcting” the WURFL and generating a WURFL patch file from the database. It would also support the ability to add custom properties to the patch.

Excellent, I’ve been meaning to do this for about 2 years now. I think you are right, there are probably very elegant ways to integrate this, I think it might have to do with the responds_to functionality added as part of rails 1.2 for REST functionality.

It’s an excellent start, I hope to have time to play with it!

Very cool! I’m new to the wurfl and seeing some rough edged rails specific stuff is extremely helpful. thank you for this.
