you have cookies disabled, or perhaps the domain you are using to view your site is not the cookie domain - it'll likely be something to do with cookies.

Will this hack and your other one to "Extend and Customise" work on 3.6.11?

I'm not sure - there is a 3.6 version of teh stylke here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=151186, but the extend add-on will only work with the 3.7 version

users that they keep getting this style even though they selected some other style. Now in their posts they I can see where it states that they are posting from a Mobile Device. However they do say they are not posting from a mobile device. Has anyone else had this issue? I have VB 3.7.3 PL1. Thanks.

I need a little more information to try and track down the problem. Which addon are you using to append the "Posted from a Mobile Device" text?

nice. how does it work with vbadvanced installed?

vbadvanced looks a bit crap actually under this style. See here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...71#post1535871 for more information ...

@Fungsten - I've looked at the code which adds the useragent string, it only gets applied if teh following is true:
if (($styleid==$vbulletin->options['mo37_mobile_style']) && ($vbulletin->options['mo37_post_text'] != ''))

ie. if the style the user is currently viewing your site with equals the style you have selected as your mobile style in admincp AND you have configured text to display (ie. Posted via Mobile Device) THEN append the 'Posted via Mobile device' message.

I can't see how this would be happening unless the user is viewing your site via the mobile style.

Could you check this with the user? A screen dump and their useragent string would help.

I'm having the same issue as Fungsten. I had to delete the "posted via mobile device" which I didn't want to do but, tons of users were having this issue.

Miguel

If I use a PC and select this style, how do I then later select a different style? I don't see a style-selector option here, and can't get back to the default style.

Thanks!

[Ah, found the answer in #332 - the "Extend and Customise Mobile Style Options" add-on]

Dartho,

I installed tonight on www.caymanclub.net at the request of one of my users. I then tried it out from my PC and I could see the mobile style. I then went to my Samsung BlackJack runnign Windows Mobile 6.1 using Pocket IE and brought up my site, selected the mobile style, but it still keeps showing me my default style. Any ideas?

I can't even seem to select the mobile style using my PC on your site.

It also looks like you have non-standard vbadvanced integration of some sort which could be causing issues. ? It's got me miffed! It shouldn;t make any difference whether you are viewing it from a PC or Phone/PDA etc.

Have you added the style with no parent?

"wtf was gomes doing:eek:" in a normal style

becomes
"wtf was gomes doing :eek: :-)" in this style for some reason!?

It adds :-) after all smilies

Our integration with vbadvanced is a standard integration, nothing other than what vbadvanced provides out of the box.

I can select the mobile style from my PC and see the mobile style from my PC, but cannot select it from a mobile device and neither can my members, can you help troubleshoot this?

The style is installed as an additional style, I did NOT make it a child of any other style.

that sorted out that issue for me - it's an option in cp

@KenDude - I' need admincp access to investigate further

Any ideas on this issue? [sorry for repost]

@punchbowl - What should be ahppening is that the smilie should b replaced by :-) - you got something wihch seems to interfere with that. Remove the "replacement variables" defined in this style to show all images (including smilies) inline.

I have been so busy with work I haven't stopped by in a long time.

I actually adapted one of your first versions so much ... I'm scared to try and upgrade ;)

If this has been posted before please ignore... I haven't gone through it all yet. I have been testing caching. I noticed that my BlackBerry was caching an awfully lot on the 3.7 version.

I kept having to refresh when clicking a link. I have added the following META tags to the style and I'm letting it sit for a week or two to get a good test:

Code:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT ="no-cache">

Code:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="0">

*NOTE*: I only added it to the online template, search template and forum home template. I realize that it can slow things down a bit, but having to refresh was getting annoying ;)

Have you thought about caching or has anyone else had this issue?

        <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />

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

        <!-- end no cache headers -->

I've not noticed any issues on my own site using PocketIE on a windows mobile device, but it makes sense...

I had the same problem and I noticed that the adv_portal template (likely from vBAdvanced had this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$pages['name'] == 'home'">

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

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

    <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" />

</if>

So, I removed the <If ... <//if> and my vBAdvanced pages are no longer cached!

Next, I went into the mobile style and mofified the headinclude value to add the following:

PHP Code:


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

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

    <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" />

Now my Blackberry does not cache anything on my forums but that is a good things as forum content is always changing!

Lastly, I also modified the navbar template to add links to the pages my users are most likely going to use from their mobile device:

PHP Code:


		
			
<a class="navbar" href="$vboptions[bburl]/search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew">$vbphrase[new_posts]</a>

<a class="navbar" href="$vboptions[bburl]/search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a>

<a class="navbar" href="$vboptions[bburl]/search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=process&showposts=0&exactname=1&searchuser=$bbuserinfo[username]">My Posts</a> 

<a class="navbar" href="$vboptions[bburl]/search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=process&showposts=0&starteronly=1&exactname=1&searchuser=$bbuserinfo[username]">My Topics</a>

Note that My Posts and My Topics are not vBulletin phrases SO if you update the style you might need to create a product.xml file to add these :confused:

Lastly, I made some changes to vBAdvanced to remove the vBAdvanced integrations from pages shown to this style and I posted the details on what was needed here:

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28355

I hope that helps someone else.... :up:

You can see my site here:

http://www.timeshareforums.com/mobile

Note I have made other changes to the style and templates that I can't try to list here!

Thanks for sharing Quarterbore!

How can i allow mobile viewers swith mobile style to PC style on mobile device ?

Installing this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=182692) addon will give you options to show the style chooser or a show link to your default style

I have vb 3.7 and found that I had to edit the USERCP template to hide the social group link when appropriate. Just needed to add this if wrapper around the link:

Code:

<if condition="$show['socialgroupslink']">

<a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[social_groups]</a> <br />

</if>

thanks

i installed it , when i gives a link to my default style it shows the style link but when i click it on mobile device browser it shows mobile style again and dont change style to pc mode !!

Would you be using this autodetect add-on? If so, users can't change the style as that add-on is designed to force them to the mobile style.

Does this style working with G1 phone?

I don;t see any reason why it wouldn't.

I'm having problems even installing this.

I downloaded everything as stated. I changed the css.txt to remove the .txt. I imported the xml file in product manager...but then it states that "invalid file specified". I've deleted and retried this 5 times now and still cannot get it to work.

What am I doing wrong???

It's a style, not a product. You need to install via the Style Manager as per instructions in first post:

Click "Import" button
Come back to this page and click "Mark as Installed"

oops, I meant style. I did that, and it does say invalid.

OK, I got it uploaded. Now, I have some issues, however I haven't read all 26 pages.

* I would like to see something identifying new posts on the phone, is there an option or code for this?

* Some of my moderators use their phone, and moderate that way, however there's no way to see the mod options other than delete and edit. Is there any way to see the moderating menu in this skin?

Any word on being able to register using this style? I've got alot of users complaining that they can't register from their mobile.

I've edited the navbar to include a link to the registration form, but I'm having big issues formatting the registration form to show up on a mobile device - in particular, the Password and Email fields, the 2nd 'confirm' box doesn't show.

On a note to disabling GARS for a specific style, Morgan over at www.TheVBGeek.com offered this suggestion which I tested and it seems to work:

Edit the "GARS - Startup" plugin and replace

Code:

require_once(DIR . '/geek/gars/includes/gars_ignition.php');

with

Code:

if (STYLEID != xx){

    require_once(DIR . '/geek/gars/includes/gars_ignition.php');

}

where xx = the styleid of the mobile style.

If there's two style how do i input both number?

if ((STYLEID != xx) && (STYLEID != yy))

:up:

oops - that should have been an && not an || - post edited
