How to use Different themes for Mobile App & site

Question

I am new to Magento and I am planning to create a mobile app for my store. Since I cannot build or afford a mobile app for myself, I am planning to build a mobile app that simply redirects to my website but with different theme that I would like to use to make more easy for app users.

If anyone know how this can be done please help me.

Answer 1

Sure, you can do this by Magento admin. Go to System > Configuration > General > Design -> Package and Theme sections.

Click Matched Expression and this:

iPhone|iPod|BlackBerry|Palm|Googlebot-Mobile|Mobile|mobile|mobi|Windows Mobile|Safari Mobile|Android|Opera Mini

This settings will be use for detecting Mobile devices.

You can create New Package and Theme for mobile devices as shown below:

From above, create new Package at : \app\design\frontend\mobile_package\

and Theme at : \app\design\frontend\mobile_package\mobile\
