Geolocation only for mobile devices

[Eutanasio]

Hi,

I have a problem, the ISP in my country mostly gives IPs to mobile devices that are apparently not recognized by the Geolocation function and then get the redirection page, which happens quiet often and once it happens, the cache on that phone wont let them ever see again our website unless they use incognito mode.
I think a good solution would be allowing mobile devices skip the Geolocation restriction, but not sure how to do so in PS 1.6.
Thanks for helping!

I suggest overriding the FrontController::geolocationManagement($default_country) function and returning false if the customer is using a mobile device. For example, create override/classes/controller/FrontController.php with the following:

<?php

class FrontController extends FrontControllerCore
{
    protected geolocationManagement($default_country)
    {
        if ($this->context->getMobileDevice()) {
            return false;
        } else {
            return parent::geolocationManagement($default_country);
        }
    }
}

Remember to go to Advanced Parameters > Performance and click the "Clear cache" button (or manually delete cache/class_index.php) so PrestaShop can find the override.
