Is there any way to detect the browser setting and set the theme appropriately. We use blackberrys quite a bit and the pda theme is perfect for this, but when we're in the office we' would like to keep a theme with block. It would be nice if GL would detect the blackberry browser and use the pda theme. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

This should not be very difficult I guess.

You can get some free javascript browser detection scripts at the javascript sites or you may try some php code in the index php file in the core GL

like

$browser_type = getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT");

if (preg_match("/what_you_want/i", "$browser_type")) {
echo "";
else {
echo "";}

You can give it a try and let us know the results

That's the wrong place. Something like that should go into lib-common.php, right before the code that sets the current users theme.

Some related discussion was over here just a few days ago.
