[Zope-CMF] Redirection of mobile users

[chad nantais]

It is not working, as per your instructions below.  I am testing the 
changeSkin() function alone and i get this:

  AttributeError: changeSkin

Here's the test (Python)script, located at the root of my CMF site, and set 
as an Access rule:

  context.changeSkin('Mobile')

I'm using:
Zope 2.6.0 (binary release, python 2.1, linux2-x86), python 2.1.3, linux2) 
ZServer/1.1b1'

CMF 1.3

Thanks for the help.  If I can get over this one hump with the changeSkin() 
method, it's be sweet.  Help is appreciated.

Chad
