Mobile Style for vBulletin 3.8

[dartho]

This style has been superceded by https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=263822 for vbulletin 3.8.7


This is identical to teh 3.7 version, except that it has had the version numbers updated on the templates so you don't get the outdated templates messagesin AdminCP. You do not need to upgrade.

vBulletin 4.0 version here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228986

A very cut back style with very low bandwidth usage which renders well on pretty much all small screen devices from old Nokias to new iPhones.


DOES NOT SUPPORT SOCIAL GROUPS OR ALBUMS - FORUMS ONLY
Supports viewing/posting/replying in forums
Supports Private Messaging
Supports Tags (viewing, not adding)
Supports viewing and replying to messages in Social Groups
Supports Thread Prefixes
has an add-on product to customise here: Extend and Customise Mobile Style (It is recommended that you install this also, but not required)
Supports other stuff too ....





Notes

If you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found! errors, see Post #329 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1607905#post1607905) for more information...
I suggest you also install this add-on to this style to get more out of it...
To modify the colour scheme of this style, you have to edit the wireless.css file by hand
If you use a portal such as vbadvanced which you wish to disable in mobile style, see here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1535871#post1535871)


Release Information

Version 1.0.0 - Initial release ported from my 3.7 version


Install Instructions

Save attached XML to your local computer
Save attached wireless.css.txt, rename to wireless.css and upload to your forum root In AdminCP go to "Styles and Templates"
In the "Import Style XML File" section browse to where you saved the XML
Click "Import" button
Come back to this page and click "Mark as Installed"

great skin, works well on my nokia n96, thanks muchly:D

[kayskid]

Small question.... I use VBadvance cmps - is there a way to assign a different home page within a style?

[dartho]

I haven't found a way to do this yet. What I ended up doing on my site was to edit the vbadvanced templates in the mobile style to make them mobile friendly. Alternatively you could just edit the adv_portal template and 'disable' vbadvanced in teh mobile style - see here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1535871#post1535871

[saadessa]

nice thank you

[Texas_Dawg]

I'm only able to see the most recent post in a given thread. Is there a way to see the previous posts in the thread?

[hurricane_sh]

Texas_Dawg: Just scroll up the see other posts.

Great style, it would be perfect if it works with vbulletin blog.

[Scalemotorcars]

Works perfectly. Just a note to VBAdvanced users.


If you use VBA modules on your forum index with this skin and you want a header bar for the module you need to change the class in your adv_portal_module_wrapper under this style.

Just change the first tcat to titlebg and it should show up better.

Also to disable VBA modules in this style you need to add a plugin.

You can find the details at this link. Hope it helps.

I was referring to viewing threads via this mod on my phone. When I click on a post I only see the most recent post. I can't access prior posts in the thread as I could via Hybrid/Threaded mode on my computer. Is there any way to do this?

[dartho]

I'm afraid it doesn't support threaded (or Hybrid) mode. A pugin to set the mode to linear when using this style may be able to be wriiten ...

[caliman]

Dartho - How do you switch skins from within this style?
I see code in the footer for the quickchooser but it is not loading.

[dartho]

Install this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=229241 and set the options

[caliman]

Thanks. Do I have to uninstall this version or can I just overwrite? - Edit... looks like an add-on...

[dartho]

Yep - it's an addon product which allows you to make a few customisations to this style - you need both.

[caliman]

Did it. Thank you much!

[el-q6ri]

thanks for the style,

when i use my Black Berry and want to see the new replay to my post I had to do refresh to see the replay or the new post from the last time I visited the site or the post ?

[dartho]

[magnaromagna]

Hello,
my users says that cannot reply to post.
i'm testing it and through internet explorer or firefox I don't see the reply button.
I tried to reinstall it (overwriting) and refreshed cache of my browser but nothing.
How can I fix it?

Thanks

[dartho]

what is your website?

[magnaromagna]

Is www.baltazar.it

:)

[chikkoo]

This style is very useful to me.

I wanna give some space at the Left side (margin), where can I edit it?

[dartho]

edit wireless.css and add
padding: 6px;
to the body section. Change 6px to what you want

@mangoromagna - You site displayed fine to me for this style

Hi,

I have a big problem !
I installed this style +
Mobile Phone / iPhone / PDA Detection and Style Assignment +
Mobile Style Options 3.8
Then some problems happens:
1. MGC ChatBox is disabled.
2. BBCode Buttons disappeared.
3. Accessing from mobile was forcing to use this style (mobile2) but when I click on any forum (subforum) I am redirected to the icon of the forum (subforum) i.e. the image I put in the title of the forum (suforum)! and not to the forum (subforum) itself !
Please help ? I uninstalled every thing regarding the mobile mod I mentioned but still no BBcode buttons appears ?

Thanks in advance,,

[dartho]

Did you configure the "Mobile Style Options" - it could disable such things if incorrectly set up. Once uninstalled, it wouldn't affect anything though.

[mgurain]

Hi dartho,
now I got it,
when I used (mobile2) style on my PC, it disabled all features to basic ones,
then even if I go to another styles, the options are set to basics (no BBcodes, no MGC Chat).
I have just now fixed it by resetting my options!

But the problem of accessing the forums didn't work, can you try it your self ?
I mean in (the title of a forum put first an image then forum title)
then try to access that forum from your mobile using (mobile2 style) ?
It will show only that image and not FORUMDISPLAY !

Thanks,,

[dartho]

what is your sites url?

[mgurain]

<a href="http://www.al-jarodiah.com/vb/index.php" target="_blank">http://www.al-jarodiah.com/vb/index.php</a>
knowing that I uninstalled the mod and style, I may try it again.

[idnguy]

Hi dartho,

The style looks great. Using the mobile emulators it seems to work great on most phones. I am having some difficulties with BB and iPhones though. The width of the page doesn't seem to display at 220px (or whatever it's supposed to) but seems to be full size. Any ideas?

How do you get
"Posted via Mobile Device
Regards,
Username"

I have tried adding $bbuserinfo[username] and {musername}..etc but to no avail, i also cannot get it to add the UA..

Any help would be good :)

[KyleWhitey]

I needed this for 3.8.2 so I edited it so.

I've attached it for anyone else who needs 3.8.2 but too lazy to do it themselves :P

No need to edit, just select "ingore style version" when installing ;)

[Simon Lloyd]

But i couldn't see how to acheive that, can you help?

[Caddyman]

how do you get it so when you click a thread title from search results if pops to the latest post. I LOVE that feature of this skin, i have been using quite a while, i would like to emulate that effect on the iphone style skin...

TIA to anyone who can answer.

[BeefyBeefo]

Looks great, thanks!

[tribedude]

How does this deal with the ads I have on my pages in my normal style. I want to still serve my ads into mobile browsers ... is this do-able?

[dartho]

That'd depend on how you do your ads. It does contain the standard vbulletin ad template hooks.

[pckolojim]

thanks it works fine with the options addon

[Didi R.]

anything i have to change in v 3.8.5?

[dartho]

There are no changes required in this for 3.8.5

[Davidhin]

Loving the style but I have 2 issues.

1) I would like to give users the option of returning to the default style if they want, I have your plugin that auto detects mobiles and your mobile options plugin although because I have auto detect on it won't allow users to goto pc mode and just returns them to the same mobile style.

2) Seem to be having cache issues with the homepage, several users have the same issue where the homepage is stuck on the first time they visited the site, the whos online info is the same, you have to refresh the homepage every time you first visit the site for it to update.

[dartho]

1. Try this version of the autodetect mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1779571#post1779571

2. Try adding the following:

<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />

the <head> section of FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY, SHOWTHREAD and headinclude (with the other "meta" tags) templates...

I've tried installing it as a product with overwrite on and off and plugin yet it says "Invalid File Specified"?

[BirdOPrey5]

A user started getting a popup error the other day on his blackberry using this style saying
"Handler could not be removed." They get in every thread now. It comes up if posting a reply, hitting a refresh in a thread, or just clicking into a thread w/o posting. Does not appear when looking at the forum list, or a forum, only when you click into a thread or post in a thread.

I had the 3.7 version of the style, deleted it and replaced it with the 3.8 version just to see if it was of any help, but no, same problem. Don't know of anything that changed on my end- any ideas what this could be?

[analog-x]

how do I find recently updated threads that I have subscribed to?

[dartho]

UserCP -> Subscribed Threads

[master_gon]

tanks . it's great !!!

[Pakblogger]

its great,.. i want only two things if possible?

1: Option to Delete Private Messages
2: Option to post signature (if member want) in posts.

Kindly work for this two options, all other perfect

[0ptima]

Great looking mobile style dartho!

[0ptima]

Anyone integrate adsense into this style?

[BirdOPrey5]

Not personally but it wouldn't be difficult to open some of the templates and simply copy and paste your adsense code into place...

I would personally put it in the very bottom of the navbar template or the very top of the footer template.

Put the following html code around the adsense code to center it:

<div align="center">
Adsense code here
</div>

Mobile ads are different as they dont use javascript. You have to serve a php file to google and google sends you back the appropriate ad based on the mobile device.

I ended up following dartho's instructions found here

Hi-- Can I just upgrade from the current version to the new Lightweight Style for VB3.8.7 or do I need to uninstall the older version first?

Also, is the new version compatible with the "Mobile Style Options 3.8" add-on?

And thank you for the update !!

[dartho]

You can install both side by side. The new style does not make use of the Mobile Style Options add-on.

[bestmilan]

OK, thanks for the clarification.
