Skin Switch

[solo_400]

Hi,

" I would also like to mask the url to remove the template name if possible--that way if I sent a link from a mobile device to a desktop user, they would not be directed to the wrong template. Any help you can provide is appreciated."

I Would like to have an update regarding above question. Thx!

Example2 in Skin Switch (just released in Sept) shows you how to do this.

Great add-on . Now my templates switch from PC to mobile every Sunday.

function use_nondefault_template() {
// check whatever you want to here.
if (date("D") == "Sun") {
return true;
}
What I would really like them to do is switch whenever a mobile is detected. Would someone be kind enough to tell me how I can set up a mobile checking function in such a way as to operate this switch when ,

if ($detect->isMobile()) {
return true;

Thanks.

Use a mobile detect library such as http://mobiledetect.net/.

Thanks for replying. I've got the Mobile_Detect.php alright, but I can't figure out where to put it and how to get set_template.php to refer to it.

Look at example 2 - it shows how to use a single check.

I'm using 1.5.4. The switch works fine on days of the week. I have includes/classes/Mobile_Checker.php ,and in the legacy template that I want to use as default I have , in common/html_header.php

if (!class_exists('Mobile_Detect')) {
include_once(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'Mobile_Detect.php');
$detect = new Mobile_Detect;
}
Then in set_template.php , I have ,

function use_nondefault_template() {
// check whatever you want to here.
if($ismobile) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
But this won't switch the template when the site is accessed by a mobile device , so I figure I must be missing something ?

First of all, thank you for the app. I was going nuts trying to make classic_resposive look good in mobile and desktop mode and this enabled me to work on the separately. Great work!

I would like to have the link to the desktop view on the header when the mobile site is viewed on a desktop. It's working fine but I had to put in a sidebox with the desktop link so that if anyone gets to the mobile site on a desktop they can easily switch to the desktop view In other words I want to make the header uniform for both the mobile and desktop versions when they''re viewed on a desktop. Here's a link to the site.https://www.spminiatures.com/storetest2. So far it's in test mode. My concern is that many of my customers are not very computer literate and will get lost.
I tried a few things but they they either didn't work or destroyed the site.

Thanks for any help
