The main advantage over Twigmo: we can perform any modifications for this add-on as you wish (Twigmo is hosted on CS-Cart, Mobile skin add-on is installed on your server). And, as Snorocket told: no monthly fees.

Can this will be work with modified skins ?

Yes, it will work. In order to make a new mobile skin fully suitable for your current color style a small additional setting through templates changes may be needed.

What's the difference between this Mobile skin and the new responsive theme of Cs-cart?

Mobile skin is separately adaptive for mobile devices. It is separate skin, some blocks are hidden. Responsive theme is used for all monitors and devices.

Hi,

What happens if there is a responsive theme installed and then you install a Mobile skin. Can you set which takes precedent and then have a link for a customer to click to get the other skin? I read in an internet retailing magazine that a poll was taken regarding Mobile Skin vs standard skin and it showed about a 50/50 split as to what customers preferred. May have been related to the type of products sold and features available on standard skin vs a mobile skin, in which some features were removed… One retailer changed the default skin to always be the standard skin, even if a mobile device was detected, and mobile users would have to click to see the mobile skin. Their sales actually went up when they did this.

Thanks for you input and the new mods you are creating for CS-Cart.

You can install Mobile skin on responsive theme. Users with mobile devices will see mobile skin, another users will see responsive theme.



We will add ability to load main theme by default for users which go to site within mobile devices in next release.

hello Cart power



Today whe bought you'r mobile skin for 4.2.x.

I have few questions:

1- When i click on view full version i can not go back to mobile version.

2- Also words are like _view_full_version or in blocks are _mobile_etc, seems like there is no translation value. I put the en language in the dutch language folder and changed en_EN to nl_NL dutch language. Also chmod to 777, clear cache but no changes.

Only when i add the variable manuely it shows.

When i upload the po file i get also error with the structure not correct

3- When i look in my products i don't see the Buy Now button

4- Also i see only my categorie's but no pages like contact us or disclaimer.



Hope you have a solution for this.

We see that you do not have the link to the mobile version. To get it you need to follow to Block manager and then add a block “[size=4]Mobile switch layout button block” for Default location. Then you will have the link to [/size][size=4]the mobile version.[/size]
