Using a different theme for mobile borwsers


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I am very new to Prestashop. 

 

Is it possible to have two themes and speficy in the settings/preferences that one of them should load for mobile users? I don't see any such option there so I suspect it is not that simple.

 

I know using a responsive theme would be a more straightforward solution but in this case they want to keep the old theme and just use the new one for mobile. 

 

Thanks

Thanks TreeTheme Dev

 

The default prestashop theme seems to use a 'mobile' sub directory for it's mobile layout and I gather from the link above (http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS15/Managing+Modules+and+Themes#ManagingModulesandThemes-PrestaShop%27smobiletemplate) that this is the standard way of adding a mobile template. This site I'm looking at doesn't use the default presta theme, it uses a different one and it doesn't have a 'mobile' sub directory. If I want to override this theme on mobile devices should it be as simple as dropping in a mobile folder containing a mobile theme in to the main them directory in order to override the main theme? I experimented with this approach on a different site - I replaced the content of the mobile directory with the contents of a different theme's mobile directory but it didn't work at all.

Could you share a link to that website ?

 

And I guess it is possible to have different theme  for mobile there are few modules for that I think.

 

Not sure if this is what you want but check http://addons.prestashop.com/en/mobile/5043-mobiletheme-switcher.html

and http://addons.prestashop.com/en/mobile/5462-mobile-desktop-theme-switcher.html but notice both are for 1.4

 

Also there are some free modules like
