How do I redirect old browsers to the Mobile theme?

Hello,

I have a lot of users that are forced to use old versions of IE in corporate environments. How do I redirect these guys to the Mobile theme so it's more functional for them?

Thanks

I think that you must find a plcae in Vanilla where it determinates if mobile browser is used and add regulas expression ot include your IE version to it.

Here is details:

Look for this code in library\core\functions.general.php


  function IsMobile() {
      $Mobile = 0;
      $AllHttp = strtolower(GetValue('ALL_HTTP', $_SERVER));
      $HttpAccept = strtolower(GetValue('HTTP_ACCEPT', $_SERVER));
      $UserAgent = strtolower(GetValue('HTTP_USER_AGENT', $_SERVER));
      if (preg_match('/(up.browser|up.link|mmp|symbian|smartphone|midp|wap|phone|opera m)/i', $UserAgent))
         $Mobile++;

I think that you get and idea how to change this.
