1. Introduction
The quantity of mobile devices in the world greatly outnumber quantity of desktops in houses and offices, therefore creation of sites convenient for users of mobile devices is not a rarity. And whether your Joomla-site is designed for viewing by means of mobile devices? If no, it is easy to correct it with the pda-mambot.

I have many members who wouldl ike to access the site from their mobiles but I am not sure that I can actually use an exisitng site and make it mobile? Do I have to create a whole new site to do this? Any help would be appreciated.

As soon as I enabled SEO with Artio CZ, the PDA version of the website stopped functioning! If I disable SEO, everything works out fine!
Any ideas?

Some additional information regarding the problem. I got the following error in the PHP error log:
[17-Nov-2007 12:17:42] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in E:\site\templates\pda\index.php on line 178
Line 178 is the PHP closing bracket.

It is really strange. Until now I cannot find the cause for such a behavior.
Please, send me used version of Artio SEO.

The Artio version used is the latest (2.2.2) in a Joomla 1.0.13 environment.I removed .htaccess & disabled SEO, trying to make it work.
Any idea on the PHP error recorded?

I'll experiment on ArtioSEF just a little later. Try to change order of mambots 'PDA-mambot' and 'ARTIO JoomSEF MetaBot' so that 'PDA-mambot' places before 'ARTIO JoomSEF MetaBot', maybe it solves the problem.
It looks like /templates/pda/index.php doesn't uploaded correctly (perhaps it corrupted or truncated).

I have already placed the PDA Mambot before Artio, with the effects described. I also tried the same config in three different demo internal sites.
The template was deleted and re-copied, with the same errors.

I have just installed pda-template, pda-mambot and joomsef on fresh Joomla1.0.13. All works normally.
