Sometimes it's dangerous to push the "post" button before caffeine. Hey thanks for the clarification, Jeremy. Sometimes it’s dangerous to push the “post” button before caffeine.

It's actually just one Django installation, but two different settings files. In apache's vhost configuration, for the main site you do: SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE main_site.settings and in the vhost for the mobile site, you do: SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mobile_site.settings Tada!

Hopefully our users can expect to find a site there and it's consistent across our different sites so that mobile.sitename.com is "guessable". Automatically selecting which type of content to serve up based on device, browser, capabilities, etc is *really* hard to get right. If you'd like to go that route, you might want to check out <a href="http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">WURFL</a> which is about as good as it gets for detecting mobile device capabilities. I'd definitely suggest checking out <a href="http://www.blueflavor.com/ed/mobile/designing_for_mobile.php" rel="nofollow">Brian Fling's mobile design slides</a> from WebVisions 2006 which tackles all this mobile stuff quite well.

This sounds really simple! Does Django automatically detect when to use the mobile_site.settings file, or did you configure this somewhere else? Wow! This sounds really simple!
