Load a specific theme / folder for mobile devices - Prestashop 1.6

[eCommAgency]

Hi!

 

We have a Prestashop 1.6 with a responsive template (nothing special here). Let's say it´s in the folder:

www.onlineshop.com/theme/mytheme/

 

Now, we are creating a simple mobile APP (native iOS + Android) that will have one of the buttons will be "Online shop". Our idea is that that button should open (Internally, with the browser and invisible to the customer) Prestashop with a different, super light weight theme:

www.onlineshop.com/theme/mobile/

 

I think Prestashop had a similar functionality in the PS1.4 version. I guess this should depend on the "user agent" (android , iOs) and not on the screen size. So... mobile app should only load "/mobile/" theme and specific modules. What do you think is the most efficient way?

1. Maybe trough .htaccess?
2. Creating a Prestashop override that sets the theme on first load?
3. Any example code?

Thanks in advance,

Hi , did you enabled mobile theme in the Appearance -> themes if yes then a mobile folder is created automatically where you can code your own theme
