Dartho,

There are some problems.

First here is my site where you can test for yourself: http://www.caymanclub.net

Problem 1: With my Cingular BlackJack phone (running Windows Mobile 5 - MS Smartphone) it does not detect and use the mobile style.

Problem 2: If I manually choose the mobile style from the style drop-down box at the bottom of my home page and select Mobile Device Style I will get Zachary's style but there is a problem with it. Whenever I load the style it asks me to log in again so I do. I can go to the forum home page and see the forums and drill down until I find topics but once I display the topics page and choose a topic to read, it asks me to log in again and there is no way to reply to a topic. I log in and it reloads the page and asks me to log in again, the login isn't sticking.

I'm going to go off and try it with my Blackberry next...

I think what is going on here is the Blackjack uses an HTML browser rather than a WAP one.

I work with this device everyday for a job. Hate it with a passion, almost as much as Treo's and Nokia Symbian based devices.


Much better device, but the Blackberry Browser is an HTML browser too. If you use the Cingular browser it will work though.

KenDude, could you log on with your BlackJack and then check "Whos Online" and select "Yes" to disaply UserAgent.

If you post the full user agent here (see attached) , I should be able to include it in the add-on

For you second issue, I'm not real sure. I get this on my site sometimes too from my desktop PC, I've found that if I log on and then go to the home page again it will save my log on deatails. This has only happened since installing VBAdvanced.

You could also try the skin which is in THIS product (I didn't find this till after I wrote the hack, I think the product only supports WAP browsers, but the skin should work on anybrowser)

Here is the user agent:

SAMSUNG-SGH-I607/I607FG1 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows CE; Smartphone; 320x240) UP.Lin

The weird thing is that I went to the forum home and it suddenly showed the mobile style. So I clicked on a specific forum and then it went back to the "normal" default style. I drilled into some messages and still it was the default style, not the mobile style (although I did stay logged in).

Not sure what to make of it, do you mind browsing my site to see what sort of effect it has on your client? I went to your site Dartho on my BlackJack and the mobile skin came right up. It almost seems as if something isn't installed correctly, but I did follow the directions. :)

Hi KenDude,

When connecting to your site, I get the full version ("Cayman Default") on my PDA. I checked in a browser and changed the style to "Cayman Small" (is this your mobile style?) and its display was identical to "Cayman Default" If this is the mobile style, then it would appear it is an issue with either your install of the style or the style itself.

Is the mobile style you have user selectable? It doesn;t have to be for this plug in to work, but I can check the style itself works.

The style I have on my site is a very modified version of "Alabama" from HERE which was written originally for 3.0.x I haven't moved to 3.6 yet (still on 3.5.x) but when I do I will port my skin over and release it also.

No the style is called "Mobile Device Style" and is the last one on the list, but I may have made it not user selectable as according to the install instructions. One of the things that confused me in the install instructions was something about changing the ID of the style to "Mobile Device Style" I didn't see how to change the ID so I changed the name. I have a feeling that something isn't set right for that style in the admin panel but I didn't fully understand the instructions can you walk me through it please? Thanks!

If you go to Style Manager in your adminCP and click on your mobile style there, it should open up your site using that style. Now if you look at the URL it has opened, you will see it is something like http://caymanclub.net/forum.php?styleid=9 - that last number on the URL is the style ID - enter that number where it asks in Mobile Device Detection in your AdminCP and all should work!

I've made a minor update to the product file to make it a full 3.6.x product and included version checking and product URL (you can now check for version updates in your adminCP) and made the instructions included in the zip hopefully a little clearer.

*** If you are updating from pre 1.0.2, you will need to uninstall the product first and then reinstall! no need to re-upload files! ***

This is because I changed the product ID from mobile_enabled to mobile_enabled36

kool I will get it a try
