Issue
- When using the Freemarker directive
${device} and checking the resulting content on the interface, no actual device data will be returned:
{brand=unknown, browser=unknown, browserVersion=unknown, model=unknown, os=unknown,
osVersion=unknown, pointingMethod=unknown, qwertyKeyboard=true, screenPhysicalSize={height=-1.0,
width=-1.0}, screenResolution={height=-1.0, width=-1.0}, tablet=false}
Environment
- Liferay DXP 7.0
- Liferay DXP 7.1
- Liferay DXP 7.2
Resolution
- The Device detection capabilities allowing the Freemarker call
${device} to function will work after the installation of the Liferay Mobile Device Detection Lite. The majority of most commercial devices / screen resolutions will be recognized: the plugin includes approximately 200,000 device combinations (device, software, and browser combinations) and 60 properties. Please, remember to set the Template NOT to be cacheable, else the information recorded from the first device used to see the web content will show on other devices as well:
