Javascript distinguish mobile from desktop

Is there a way within forumotion to distinguish if the user is running the mobile or desktop version or would I have to use the useragent in javascript. I want my script to only run on the desktop version as it breaks the mobile version if it executes there.

So you want this JavaScript to not run while someone is viewing your forum in mobile version?  Does it work fine when you switch to classic version?

yes, it works fine on the forum (though I have disabled it for now). But if the javascript loads on the mobile version it causes issues there. So I would like to adjust my js so that if the mobile version loads it doesnt load this script.

Hey,

You can check the _userdata object to see if tpl_mobile has been defined. For example :

Code:

$(function() {
  if (!_userdata.tpl_mobile) {
    console.log('Desktop');
  }
});

Remove the NOT flag "!" if you want the if block to run code for mobile instead. You can also do the standard if ... else statement.

Code:

$(function() {
  if (_userdata.tpl_mobile) {
    console.log('Mobile');
  } else {
    console.log('Desktop');
  }
});

Thankyou so much, you have just my job so much easier. This works great
