Masonry, Elastic
What setting do I need to change to retain the masonry grid when viewed with an iPad? (rather than the mobile grid)

Re: Masonry, Elastic
masonry is not sent to mobile devices, they will always use the standard layout

Re: Masonry, Elastic
That's kinda my point, iPads should not be treated as mobile devices (IMHO). How do I exclude iPads from getting redirected to mobile.php? (even at the expense of the new, nicely done mobile menu if nessessary). Something triggers the redirect. It's not width (though that would be nice)

There's this code in the head tag:
<script>
if (screen.width < 768 || navigator.userAgent.match(/Android|Blackberry|SymbianOS|iPhone|iPod|iPad/i)){
window.location.replace('mobile.php'); }
</script>
which basically says that if the screen width is less than 768 px OR the device is one of those listed, then feed the mobile page.
I know that Masonry relies on Javascript, which can tax resources (this is why you see huge galleries that use Masonry take a long time to load). Perhaps this is why the standard gallery is fed to mobile devices: because of limited memory or other resources.

Re: Masonry, Elastic
Thanks! That was it.
Now, is there a way I can make a plugins.php change that will override that (else I have to edit the code with each update)

That and Matt believes iPads should be mobile devices (we've had that discussion before). I disagree on this point (and the mobile menu now solves most of his very valid objections). I get very offended when my iPad is trapped in a mobile site, that is probably a character flaw on my part 
iPads can handle it, I've been running my CE3 site that way for a while, iPad 2s handle it fine

I don't think that scripts coming later in the document will override an early script like later css overrides earlier css. Otherwise you could try placing the modified script in the ttg_head_end hook.
