Currently, device detection does two things: 1. Disables TinyMCE 2. Hides the "Portfolio -> Export" navigation tab
There is also code in htdocs/lib/web.php, in the smarty() function, which looks at the results of device detection and puts them into some Smarty template variables. But since 15.10, we no longer actually read those Smarty variables, at least not in any of the core themes. 1. $HANDHELD_DEVICE 2. $MOBILE 3. $DROPDOWNMENU (to disable dropdown menus; in 15.10 we show them anyway) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

Status in Mahara: Triaged Bug description: Mahara 15.10 introduced Bootstrap. All themes are now responsive. When I tested the "Deactivate device detection" functionality, I couldn't see much of a difference when using the site. I did notice the content chooser was displayed the start of the words instead of only showing the icon on the "Edit page" screen. I wonder if we can remove the custom device detection. You can enable the user turning off device detection in Admin -> Config site -> User settings -> Users can disable device detection. That then happens on the account settings page.
