How can you tell if this is working if you don't have a data plan on your phone?

Post your link and I'll check it out for you.

I can check as well...

i made my own theme customized for a smartphone and would release it but i have no idea how to export it.... i did alot of hacking to keep it looking as much like my forums as possible on a 320x240 screen.

http://www.aggiefans.com/forums if you want to test it.

Also is there a way to get your script to work with vbadvanced? I would like to detect browsers and kick them into the forums directly (dont want to mess with writing a vbadvanced theme since it wont be that useful for us to have that info available on a phone)

Wow! That is a VERY neat skin!

To export, go into "Download / Upload Styles" in the "Styles & Templates" section in your admincp. THen pick the style name from the first drop down and download.

In regards to vbadvanced, all I did for my site was to only dispaly the centre vBadvanced column - just edit teh adv_portal template and remove the
"<if condition="$show['left_column']">" block and the "<if condition="$show['right_column']">" If you just want to go straight to your forums, you could clear out the whole adv_portal template and just have a redirect to the Forum page

Hi Dartho,

Great Mod, thanks a lot for this, it saved me from having to switch to SMF.

Is there any chance you could make it fully 5/5 mobile compliant like SMF? Right now it scores about a 2/5 or fails altogether.

Check out Ready.mobi to see what I mean.

Big thanks!
Andres

aggiefan - that is an awesome skin indeed, maybe you and Dartho need to work together to produce the A1 skin we all crave :)

Dartho - what is your site BTW?

Hi Andres,
I possibly could start from scratch and come up with a more mobile compatible skin in a similar vein to SMF (which by the way would definately the forum software I'd use for a free forum only based site - almost wen t with it myself) but it wouldn;t happen soon. The skin I released with this hack came about from modifying the Alabama skin which vbMechanic wrote. On my small site I am one of only a couple users that access it with a PDA (rather than mobile phone) so the need to make it 100% compliant hasn;t really been there.

Aggiefans site seems to disaply well on on the http://ready.mobi site - He's obviously put a lot of work into it - I'd like to get my hands on it!

As I get time I'll have a go at a skin similar to SMF.

tekguru - I've updated my profile with my sites address - http://thewholeforce.com - it's a Rugby supporters site for the Western Australian Super14 rugby team "Western Force"

Aggiefan's looks great, however the problem I have with it is that it loads a lot slower. I'm not so keen on all the separation (could possibly be my Blackberry). For instance, on the first line, you see forum name, next, posts, next, views, next line icon.

So it creates a lot of scrolling.

I have to say I really like your theme dartho. It's nice and simple, yet gives plenty of options, even with me being the owner and admin of my site. Yeah, there's a few things I can't do, but I can manage quite a bit.

For whatever it's worth, there's my $.02
