How is the mobile theme chosen?

khalwat

I've installed the latest 2.1 branch of VanillaForums via git clone -- I'm planning to create a custom theme for the forums, so that when I do updates via git pull it won't overwrite my custom theme.

However, one thing I'm not clear on is how to properly customize the mobile theme. I don't see any way in the AdminCP to choose what theme should be used for the mobile theme. How is this theme chosen?

It seems to "automagically" use the theme named "mobile" if I'm accessing the site via a mobile device. After much Googling, I couldn't find an answer as to how this theme is chosen, or if there is a setting to override it.

I'd rather not have any customizations I make to the mobile theme get wiped out when I do a git pull to update VanillaForums.

There's a config setting Garden.MobileTheme that controls it. Simply set it to a different theme slug. We've added it as a menu item in 2.2. It uses device useragent detection to decide whether to serve mobile.

yeah, it would probably be advantageous if discussions in tutorials category came up first in the search by a priortizing mechanism.

maybe someday vorgo could skim through the categories and tag them with optimal keywords. But then again,
