Can I Force a Bootstrap Website to Display the Desktop Version on Mobile Devices?

Displaying Desktop Version of Bootstrap Website on Mobile Devices

Question:

Is it possible to display a Bootstrap website as the desktop version on a mobile device, displaying the larger 992px or 1200px viewports?

Answer:

To achieve this, follow these steps:

1. Configure the Viewport:

• Create a link that reloads the page with the parameter "?desktop_viewport=true" in its URL.
• Set a PHP session to track the desktop display mode.
• In the section of the page, set the viewport to a fixed width of 1024px for desktop mode and use the responsive viewport settings for mobile mode.

2. Code:

• Button to switch to desktop mode:

<code class="html"><a href="mywebsite.php?show_desktop_mode=true">I want desktop mode!</a></code>

• PHP session initialization and viewport setting:

<code class="php"><?php
session_start();
if ($_GET['show_desktop_mode'] == 'true') {
    $_SESSION['desktopmode'] = 'true';
}
?></code>

• Set viewport based on session value:

<code class="html"><?php
if ($_SESSION['desktopmode'] == 'true') {
    /* DESKTOP MODE */
?>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=1024">
<?php
} else {
    // DEFAULT
?>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<?php
}
?></code>
