With SharePoint 2010 SP1 support for Chrome and new support on reports and scorecards for iPad on iOS5 with the December CU… It’s definitely time to revisit Browser support. Please refer to “Plan Browser support (SharePoint 2010)” and “Plan for mobile devices” for the latest Official Microsoft details.

We recently launched the sharingthepoint.org site and quickly realized we forgot to turn off the default mobile redirect. This code snippet below makes it a rich browsing experience for your iphone, ipad, wp7, blackberry, etc…
Add the XML code snippet to your web.config file on each web front end.
<browserCaps> <result type=”System.Web.Mobile.MobileCapabilities, System.Web.Mobile, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a”/> <filter>isMobileDevice=false</filter> </browserCaps>
Smart phones recently took over as the most popular in the world. I’m ready to declare victory over the old WAP phones and tell everyone to turn it off… You are losing people because there is NO easy way to browse to SharePoint by default on your phone without getting a bad experience. It requires the Administrator to turn off the WAP interface.
TURN IT OFF
- Modify the web.config in the root of the web app
- Add three lines of code that set all browsers to not be redirected
- Does not allow for browsers to be handled individually
- File is on the server in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\PORT\bin folder of your SharePoint site, where PORT is the port of your site
- Add this section right before the close tag: </system.web>
- Code to add:
- <browserCaps> <result type=”System.Web.Mobile.MobileCapabilities, System.Web.Mobile, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a”/> <filter>isMobileDevice=false</filter> </browserCaps>
