Today at work we realized that Tiny MCE doesn’t work properly on the iPhone. At least MCEComments for WordPress doesn’t This prevented users from commenting from a mobile device on the MSU blogs. I fixed this pretty simply by doing browser detection in PHP before loading the files for MCEComments. I modified the loaders for the plugin. Only two modifications of the tinyMCEComments.php was neccesary.

// Line 311
function mcecomment_init() {
    global $post;
    if (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']), "iphone") === false) {
        $loadJS = false;
        if (is_plugin_page()) {
        $loadJS = true;
        } else if (is_singular()) {
            if (comments_open() && ( !get_option('comment_registration') || is_user_logged_in() )) {
                $loadJS = true;
            }
        }
        if ($loadJS)
        	mcecomment_getInitJS();
    }
}

// Line 350
function mcecomment_loadCoreJS() {
    global $post, $mce_locale;
    if (is_singular() && (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']), "iphone") === false))
    {
        if (comments_open() && ( !get_option('comment_registration') || is_user_logged_in() )) {
            wp_enqueue_script('tiny_mce', get_option('siteurl') .
            	'/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce.js', false, '20081129');
            wp_enqueue_script('tiny_mce_lang', get_option('siteurl') .
                '/wp-includes/js/tinymce/langs/wp-langs-' . $mce_locale . '.js',
                false, '20081129');
            wp_deregister_script('comment-reply');
            wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply', get_option('siteurl') .
                '/wp-content/plugins/' . plugin_basename ( dirname ( __FILE__ ) ) .
                "/comment-reply.dev.js", false, '20090102');
        }
    }
}
