In your mobile style, edit your adv_portal template to something like this:
Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype] |
thanks.
I've figured how to do it using htaccess. Thanks again. |
Alright. I guess I am gonna use your code Biker_GA.
Thanks. btw...What does the two stand for? Isn't that the amount of time in seconds before it redirects? |
Excellent mod.. I'm putting it at our forum
|
Alright. Now I have an issue with going back to the normal version. If a user decides they would like to use the normal version of your forum from their phone and they press the button "normal version" it will redirect them to the same skin.
Any fix on this? |

Seems the Nextel Blackberry Curve is not working well for this mod. Is there a way to add it and make it work? Or is there a new version out yet?
|
Define not working. I have members using many different Blackberry models (including the Curve) and they're singing my praises for this mod. LOL

hence the "Any fix on this?" question... |
Why should something that is "by design" be fixed? It's SUPPOSED to be that way.

Here's a sample of what it will display to you (I visited in Firefox from my desktop): Code:

This is what they said: I'm useing my Nextel Balckberry Curve and I am on the Home page. I put in Ballerscafe.com. Everything came up real quick compared to usual which will make me want to use my phone to log on more often. But on the left under the strip of field and stores list all I' getting is a whole line about 8 Capitol Edge Icons and the last one is the USPN Icon. I'm not seeing Davis Dg,Extreme or any of the others |
Bingo.. You have vBAdvanced on the main page. Replace your adv_portal template with something like this:
Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype] Once you do this, your mobile users will be kneeling and kissing your feet. :D |
Yes I did do that. I made some changes thinking this will force the redirect to the mobile style. However I don't think anyone else is having this issue only that one person.
PHP Code:

I'd take the style ID out. This particular mod is supposed to force mobile devices to the mobile style.
How competent is your Blackberry user? It's possible they have some browser settings that aren't right on the decvice. (Ensure javascript is turned on, etc etc etc.) I'd also tell the user to do a hard reset on the device. Remove the battery while the device is still operating. Leave the battery out for 30 seconds, then put it back in. This will cure many issues a user may be having with the Blackberry, including rendering issues on some sites. |

Thank you for your sarcasm. It truly is a pleasure to read your replies, but if you don't mind, could you please allow the coder of this mod to give me an answer. |
Actually - it was by design, I wanted to *know* that a mobile user could read the forum OK using a specific style. By giving mobile users a choice, they could load up a style that does not render on their device and never be able to get back again.
Also, I don't think there was any sarcasm in Biker_GA's comment. He has gone out of his way to help you in the last couple pages. Anyway - if you head back to around post #219 and read on from there, you will find a post with an attached variation to this mod that will do what you seem to be asking for. |
Thank you dartho.
That worked for me. My apologies to Biker. Thank you also for your help. |
Would be cool to incorporate a floating notification asking the user if they want to switch back to the mobile style.
Similar to this. Of course this would only appear if the user is on a mobile browser. |
Dartho,
Is there an if condition that I could use on a template that would allow me to detect if the user is on a mobile browser? I want to say "If user is on mobile device then do not show" |
No - not really depending on what you are trying to do you'd likely need to use plugins.
However, assuming they are viewing your site via a mobile device using a mobile style, you can simply edit the template in the mobile style. |
Thanks, this works perfectly on 3.8.2

I used the code listed to forward from the VBA adv_portal template to the forum home. I hit the forum home, no problem, but when I click on a forum I am redirected back to the original forwarder page (the VBA template).
Any idea what I am missing? |
help...
i have enabled this product, and i also have installed its mobile style but default style on PC user change to mobile style ... how i could fix this? thanks |
I'm guessing you have vbadvanced and your forums integrated? I've never done this before, there's probably a vbadvanced plugin you could edit to get around it. I'll *try* and have a look into it...
|
Installed and takes mobile users to the mobile skin but when they post and hit submit it clears the text area and does not post.
Cheers |

hello
I'd like that when you enter to forum with a mobile, the forum ask you what template do you like to use. Is it posible? |
Thanks dartho, it works great.

I installed this plugin but when I connect from my phone I don't see the option anywhere on the mobile skin to change the skin? I've cleared the cookies and everything but nada. |
That's either the mobile style or your settings not showing a style chooser, not this add-on.
|
I haven't touched the settings. Was I suppose to after installing?
Can, you help me with this? |
Quote:
Everything works great! Installed! (Also, I'm using your style, looks great!) |
Megatr0n - what style are you using? If it is this style you will need to also install this add-on to add an optional style chooser

Dartho,
Thanks for the fine mod. I redid the adv_portal template code per your recommendations, which did work to put a redirect link on the first log-in screen. My follow up question is, when I log-in on my blackberry, here's what I'm seeing as links listed: Blogs Your Blog Recent Entries Best Entries Best Blogs Blog List Search Blogs Home New Posts User CP *and my "Portal disabled for Mobile Devices. Click here to go to Forums" link just inserted Obviously the 'Blog-related links are getting pulled from the Blog software. How can I get rid of all that? Since there doesn't appear to be a fix to have mobile users directed to the 'Forums' page only, I'd prefer that the only thing that be on the initial screen are: Log-in fields Home New Posts User CP 'Portal disabled for Mobile Devices. Click here to go to Forums' link Thanks in advance for your help (I'd also be curious how to move the 'Portal disabled' verbage down a couple of lines so its not shoved up against the other links?). |
Users are directed to a custom CMS I have running on index.php on my site. How can I force the mobile users to go to forum.php ?
|
@BGObsession - You've obviously fixed it - looks fine to me
@abrecher - see other thread you posted same Question in |
Any reason you can think of it would appear 'fixed' in 'mobile' skin on my site (from a PC), while still showing all of those blog options on a portable device (cleared cache on my device, still showing up)? And its not just on the initial screen, every single screen starts with that list of blog options no matter where I navigate....
Frustrating.... |
I had look at the source - the blogs addon is adding in a dropdown menu for blogs which a desktop browser is smart enough to know not to display, but the mobile browser - not so smart.
If you delete the contents of the blog_navbar_link_menu template in your mobile style, that should stop it showing up |
