[Documentation] Different view in mobile theme?
Torbjorn
New
Hi
I am using one theme for the desktop theme and another for the mobile theme(the default).
When visitors load the desktop theme i have the default homepage to load the url: '/categories/discussions' (in Appearance-> Homepage).
But...
This is not ideal in mobile version of the forum.
So...
How do i code the mobile theme to load '/diskussions' instead?

Tried a number of tweaks but no luck.
I tried to redirect to /discussions via 'mobile theme hooks'. Tried both html (HTTP-EQUIV) and javascript but when the mobile theme loads but then the browser goes in a infinitive loop. There must be a simple solution to this...
Please advice.
just an idea - there probably is an easier way.
maybe you could look at
$this->FireEvent("AfterLoadRoutes");
and do some sort of plugin
test if mobile and modify
look at library/core/class.router.php

Besides peregrine's advice, I still think you're on the right track. Your redirect is working, problem is that it's working at the wrong time (too early).
Redirect... Load Vanilla, which loads the default /categories/discussions/ view => redirect b/c of mobile, etc. => infinite loop.
If you do the tweaking using peregrine's advice, you're closer to your solution.

Well. My main knowledge strongest platform is WordPress and i am learning Vanilla "as i go". I would be soooo grateful for a code exaple that shows how i can implement the code @peregrine adviced. Can i add the code in my mobile theme file class.mobilethemehooks.php?
I added the HTTP-EQUIV there but as @UnderDog states it fires to early...
This is the code i added to class.mobilethemehooks.php that fires to early:
I cannot help much, but there's a difference between :
public function Base_Render_Before($Sender) {
ANDAfterLoadRoutes
Maybe it's
public function Base_AfterLoadRoutes($Sender) {
or something similar.(with or without Base)
I wish I could help more.

@peregrine do you think i can use AfterLoadRoutes in class.mobilethemehooks.php? If this is solved i think it would be a great 'How-To' article in the Wiki. I can write the article but i need help with a working code snippet. Anybody else that can help out?
After experimenting a little - I think the Before and AfterLoadRoutes is too late in the game.
I'm no expert at all in .htaccess files, but maybe they will help you
here are some links.

Maybe an .htaccess expert can tailor it to your needs.

@Todd could you give à hint if what i want to do is event possible?
@peregrine @underdog thank you so mutch for your time. I hope i can report back to you with the solution.
hope you get a solution - I'd like to see how to do this properly.
It would be kind of cool - also if there was a dashboard setting in configuration that had an option for what you want to do (maybe in a future release).

Any experts out there. could something be created here -
conf/bootstrap.after.php

This one is interesting to figure out and document...
You have to figure out exactly on which moment the /categories/discussions view (or another one) is loaded.
I think you can only do that by looking at debug_backtrace at any given time.
Browse through the lines of debug_backtrace and you'll see at which point that 'homepage' view is loaded.
Let's see if that works...

I only get the debug info in my dashboard or if there is an error. cleared the cache. change the settings for manage view and debug. Thought I saw it on other pages once - but it too mystifies me as to how to initiate it on all pages.

@underdog and @peregrine Hang on for a few days. A solution is in progress.
Here is my contribution to this problem:
