Julio, I've changed the template name in global.inc.php ( + in template.lib.php + I've put my server in test mode, but it's still not taking my new template directory into account. Any idea why this might be?
There's no content in my temp/twig/ dir.

1. Did you create a folder with your modified files?
main/templates/jqm
2. I sent some fixes now you can change the setting in global.inc.php
$app['template_style'] = 'default';
If you change it to 'experimental' it will load the 'default/layout/experimental' folder

It still looks like it loads the layout files from the templates/default/layout/ directory.
When I select "experimental" in global.inc.php and I load the homepage (as anonymous), I still get the default template.
When I connect and get to http://my.chamilo.net/web/userportal, I get "500 - Template "experimental/userportal/index.tpl" is not defined (). " (which is alright, I can live with that).
However, what I did is the following: I copied the template/default/ directory to template/jqm/ and I added a <link> line in template/jqm/layout/head.tpl, just below the viewport line (to make it easy to spot).
Whatever I do, it seems like the template used is never 'jqm'... (maybe it is for jqm/userportal/index.tpl, but then I would expect it to load "all" tpls from my folder, not just a few random ones...

And when I add the same <link> line to main/template/default/layout/head.tpl, I can see the change straight away, which proves that it is not a problem of not refreshing the tpl, it is just a problem of loading the default instead of the template defined.

You have to edit this file: layout/jqm/main_header.tpl and change this: with your jqm template
{% include "default/layout/head.tpl" %}
to this:
{% include "jqm/layout/head.tpl" %}

I think that is not random is hardcoded in the templates using this includes:
{% include "default/layout/head.tpl" %}
A good idea to improve this is to create a twig variable and use this everywhere something like
{% set style = 'default' %}
Updated by Yannick Warnier over 5 years ago
Yes, that is a good idea (although I think it should be theme_dir, not style). "random" was a way of speaking :-)
If you use set theme_dir='default', how do you use it in an include afterwards?
{% include $theme_dir."/layout/head.tpl" %}
?
The way it works now is a bit weird (to have to indicate the template directory to include other files of the same template).

It's nice to see how just including the JQM library and a few data-* tags make your site look more "mobily" :-)

"jqm" is too techy you could use just "mobile" or "jquery_mobile" ...

This could help too:

Apparently this library is the best way to go to detect mobile devices' properties: https://github.com/serbanghita/Mobile-Detect
