is there a function that can prevent certain things that will show on a computer, tablet but will not show in a mobile phone..since this is a smaller device and it seems that everything that shows is lining up on each other on the mobile phone..maybe its best to not show everything.

The CSS in the skins is supposed change its shape depending on what device its being looked at on.

But in answer to your question, yes. There are 2 functions in the core that check to see what type of device is looking at the page.

They are:
jrCore_is_mobile_device()

and:
jrCore_is_tablet_device()

They don't have any smarty wrappers to be used in the skins though.

You could try:

Code

{if jrCore_is_tablet_device()}     this is a tablet     {else}     this is NOT a tablet {/if}

Not sure if direct usage like that is permitted or not.....

You could also look into using CSS media queries:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Media_queries

In short, they allow you to alter what/how things are displayed.
So this will have a lot of padding on a large screen, a little padding if the screen is less than 800px wide, and will not be shown at all if the screen is less than 600px wide:

Code

.not-needed-on-mobile {     padding: 30px;  } @media (max-width: 800px) {   .not-needed-on-mobile {     padding: 10px;   } } @media (max-width: 600px) {   .not-needed-on-mobile {     display: none;   } }

Both jrCore_is_mobile_device() and jrCore_is_tablet_device() will work in smarty templates just like Michael has posted (it holds true for any PHP built in or user function that returns a Boolean value).

Hope this helps!
