Themes

Hi,

You are right, duplicating themes has been going on for years. However, depending on the method you use to duplicate the theme, you either make a customised 'copy' or a 'child' theme where the majority of the styles and complex functions and renderers stay with the parent theme and the child theme uses customised settings in order to colour the pages and add logos, etc.

Making a child theme is more often than not an easier way for doing things.

However I do admire you Heather, the fact you actually made a copy of Adaptable. I tired once and gave up. Too much like hard work.

Cheers

Hi Heather,

I'm just going to take a look and see where the 'is_desktop' is coming from.

Hi,

Are you using WordPress alongside Moodle by any chance?

Mary

OK...I think I may have found out whats happening.

In adaptable/lib.php there is a function: (see below) which you can remove from your 'cloned' version of Adaptable.

/**
 * Detect device.
 */
function is_desktop() {
    $useragent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
    return stripos($useragent, 'mobile') === false && stripos($useragent, 'tablet') === false && stripos($useragent, 'ipad') === false;
}

function is_tablet() {
    $useragent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
    return stripos($useragent, 'tablet') !== false || stripos($useragent, 'tab') !== false;
}

function is_ipad() {
    $useragent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
    return stripos($useragent, 'ipad') !== false;
}

function is_mobile() {
    $useragent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
    return stripos($useragent, 'mobile') !== false || stripos($useragent, 'nokia') !== false || stripos($useragent, 'phone') !== false;
}

After that save the file and see if it works?

Hope this helps?

Mary
