IPad Mobile Skin

Hi Bryan,

Welcome to the forum. I hope your very well. Thank you for your kind comments and post. I'm pleased to hear you like the mobile skin :)

I'm afriad we don't have a quick way to do this just yet without modifying the code. We are looking to add support to allow you to target specific skins to specific popular devices. For now If you have a developer license and don't mind modifying the code you can make a small change to enable this.

You'll need to modify our central GetCurrentSkin method within the InstantASP.InstantForum\HttpContext\ForumContext.vb class.

Open this file and search for GetCurrentSkin. You would need to add the following code to the top of this method...

If System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.UserAgent.Contains("iPad") Then
Return InstantASP.InstantForum.Globals.Paths.SkinDirectory + "/iPad/"
End If

This will load the iPad skin in the skins folder if the user agent contains the "iPad" keyword. If your not able to modify the code please respond via email to sales@instantasp.co.uk and confirm your exact version of the forum and we'll forward a slightly modified DLL to support this for you.

I look forward to your response and assisting further,

' new
Dim isTablet As Boolean = False
If System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.UserAgent.Contains("iPad") Then
isTablet = True
End If

' do we have a hard coded skin within the web.config?
If Not InstantASP.Common.Configuration.AppSettings.Skin Is Nothing Then
Return InstantASP.Common.Configuration.AppSettings.Skin
End If

' is this a mobile device?
If Me.IsMobile And Not isTablet Then 'NEW ADDITION HERE
Return InstantASP.InstantForum.Globals.Paths.SkinDirectory + "/Mobile/"
End If

But we really like the forums to be used in something other than mobile for the larger tablet mobile devices. Is there a way to stop it from automatically going to the mobile skin for them?

So I used some of the advice you gave and updated so I can just bypass it seeing iPads at all for the time being. ' new Dim isTablet As Boolean = False If System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.UserAgent.Contains("iPad") Then isTablet = True End If ' do we have a hard coded skin within the web.config? If Not InstantASP.Common.Configuration.AppSettings.Skin Is Nothing Then Return InstantASP.Common.Configuration.AppSettings.Skin End If ' is this a mobile device? If Me.IsMobile And Not isTablet Then 'NEW ADDITION HERE Return InstantASP.InstantForum.Globals.Paths.SkinDirectory + "/Mobile/" End If
