iPhone based skin (iPhorum)

[pank]

I created this style to use for myself. Since I have no intentions on making this a commercial / paid skin I thought I'd share it with everyone :)

The .zip contains full installation instructions and all the files needed.

I have tested this on both Mac and PC and more importantly the iPhone. This is a very lightweight skin so it should be ideal for iPhone and mobile device users. It will also work as a standard browser skin.

You can view a live demo here
http://www.extremepixels.com/forum/index.php?styleid=98

This is created for vB 3.6.8 and fully validates XHTML.

** edited **
The .zip now contains the Photoshop file used to create the skin. You will need the 04b_08 font. Here is a link (http://www.dafont.com/font.php?file=04b_08) to that font in case you don't have it.

[captainslater]

[TheBlackPoet]

Excellent And Simple

[rapidphim]

I do not see it any where similiar to iPhone at all.

[pank]

Thanks everyone :) I'm glad you like it.


I do not see it any where similiar to iPhone at all.

This skin was not designed to "look" exactly like an actual iPhone. It was designed to look like an app / home screen of an actual iPhone ;) If you run it on an iPhone it fits in really well with the look and feel of the actual phone.

I designed this to actually use on my iPhone. But, since it can be also run as a stand alone skin I decided to release it free to the vB community.
Thanks.

[htdesignz]

like it :D, love the icons at the top :x

Ehh ei olmuş nedemeli :D this is a cool :)

Will this work with 3.6.5?

[no mods]

I have it installed on 3.6.5 just fine. http://www.type2chat.com/forum/?styleid=117

[sensimilla]

As owner of 2 licensed installations of extrmepixels skins i have to admit, great job prank!

[Otikeu]

Thank you very much! I could really use this skin :D Time to add pp code checking for iPhone users and thus force the style :P

HI,
very fine job. But I think the icon "cat_top_rs.gif" is missing in the iphorum/misc directory.
I found this file in the postbit template:

<td width="20" height="27" align="right" valign="top"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/cat_top_rs.gif" width="20" height="27" alt=" " border="0" /></td>

but it's missing.
Another question: where I have to put the 04b_08 font ?
Thanks.

[CrazyGood]

Thanks this skin looks sleek as hell. =D

[2ndGenScionxB]

how about an iPhone skin for the iPhone?

[momo2]

Installed, great looking skin.
Can I have a Thank you button to match this ?

[brvheart]

awesome skin...thank you very much for this. One question, I added navbar for some custom stuff....when viewed in firefox it is perfect, when it is viewed in Internet Explorer it is all jacked with extra arrows in the header and the image being thrown off. Could you tell me where to fix that pleas? See screenshots attached...

First one is Firefox, second is IE

i got a problem with only one thing, is there any way the Members online can be change to gif rather than text ? some of my members have long names and ur text style simply makes it look longer, or not to repeating the name just say off line or online etc ?

[Marka Ragnos]

Note to creator.

Thank you SOOOO MUCH for the awesome instructions. Seriously. That clarified the entire process for somebody like myself, who has very little experience with this stuff. Not only did I get this one installed, but I now know how to install others.

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!

This isn't really an iPhone theme, at least not in the sense that it's not a theme optimized for display on the iPhone. The closest I've seen is this one at iLounge (point your iPhone or iPod Touch to http://forums.ilounge.com/index.php?styleid=7). This is optimized for display on the iPhone with gestures and finger touch navigation. Unfortunately, they aren't willing to share the theme they created.

thanks! great job!

I would still like to know about the missing "cat_top_rs.gif & cat_top_ls.gif" file, asked earlier in this thread.
<td width="20" height="27" align="right" valign="top"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/cat_top_rs.gif" width="20" height="27" alt=" " border="0" /></td>
and
<td width="33" height="27" align="left" valign="top"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/cat_top_ls.gif" width="33" height="27" alt=" " border="0" /></td>

My Members voted this the #1 Style! Thanks.

[tschai]

Although I'm not fond of iPhone at all, this skin is one of the best (free) I've come across. And I'm gonna use it definitly...but I just have make it white.
My users 'demand' it...:(

[Dzelil]

thank you for this!

[SuperTaz]

I installed this style and updated the URL's in my Style Vars area and I still get this, why? I have the categories spaced apart. Will that cause this issue?

I guess he forgot to include them in his zip. I have the same issue. I would suggest going to his demo page and just saving the missing gif's directly from there.

[Cello]

AWSOME SKIN!!!!!
Thanks!

Any chance you can create a Website template that will go well with this.

I would like to add a new look to www.twacrew.com . Perhaps center this forum inside a website. I'm using your iPhorum template for the forum that is a subdomain at www.crewlounge.twacrew.com

Thanks

Thanks again!

Sorry for the late reply.
I have updated the .zip file to no longer call those missing images. They were left over and not used in the skin. If you wish to manually fix the issue you can simply edit the postbit template and remove the two <td cells that call those 2 images.

Or you can download the updated files and re-install.

Any way to modify this for tabbed browsing?

if i hold control down in this theme and try to open a thread in a tab, it opens that thread in a new tab, but also loads the thread in my current tab. gets a bit bothersome. any thoughts?

That happens because I have CSS set up to use the entire table cell as a clickable area (mainly for iPhone and mobile users) :)

If you want to remove that option I "think" this should work...

Open up the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post templates.

Find this piece of code and remove it from the first <td cell

style="cursor:default;" onmouseover="this.className='alt2Active';" onmouseout="this.className='alt1Active';" onclick="window.location.href='forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]';"

That "should" do it.

I'm sorry but I really do not plan on creating a web template. If you wish to use the graphics on your actual website you are more than welcome to do so. If you do please just leave an eXtremepixels.com copyright somewhere on your site.

Thanks.

[zippokid]

That didn't work but thanks for trying to help.

Pank... Thanks for getting back to me. If I do use the graphics, I'll be sure to reference your website.

One other thing.... Some of my readers/posters are older and find the dark graphite background harder to read. I don't agree, but I'm not them.

IS THERE ANy CHANCE you can create an alternative color such as "Pearl White" or something like that with dark lettering perhaps an easier font, but keep the same design features?

Thanks....

• Did you have a Icon for the vB Blog?
And what i must do, that the Icon displayed in your Style?

• I wil change the name of your designfolder. How i can change that, that the design will be works?

• The design ist not optimum for the iPhone. The letters and Icons are to small.
Did you code a Mobile-Version?

• And the Same Style in white Colors... for the light lovers :D

• No Ajax is working. How i can fix that?

Thanks ....

Hey Pank,
Great style. We've been using it for some time and everyone seems to like it a lot more than the other forums they are one.

Do you have any plans to update this skin for 3.7? I am going through the 15 templates that needed updating and some of them are over my head. :o

Thanks for the style,
Forensic

[pank]

I'm sorry but I do not have plans to update the skin any further. If I ever do I'll be sure to post back and let everyone know.

[kp^]

I LOVE the skin! I've tweaked it alot.. Great base. Thanks again!

[Nikola1]

Thank You 4 This Amazing Skin :D
I Give You 10x :up: :)

I'm trying to adapt the 800px width in another skin, but looking thru this skin I see in the header:


<!-- set below for skin width-->
<table width="800px" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border:1px solid #000000">
<tr>
<td width="100%" align="left" valign="top">


Now this is the start of the code to wrap the entire forum in 800px with a black border, but where is the closing tags? I thought it was in the footer, and even the FORUMHOME template. Doing some testing I found this is false... Unless, Im missing a snippet of code somewhere...

Anyone point me in the right direction? I need to locate what template the closing tags are located so I can implement this 800px width in another skin. Basically I have been hunting for the 3 closing tags below....


</td>
</tr>
</table>



Thanks!

Long shot here... Is anyone still running this style? If so I'd like to take a look at your site.

I used iphorum for a long time and just upgraded my forum to 4.2. My users are complaining the new style I picked is too dark. I could use some references without reinstalling 3.7 to view the colors of the newpost, forum display, quotes, etc...
