I did upload the file, but you are probably correct with the short tags reference -- it sees the css file, but doesn't seem to react to all of it. Let me try that -- thanks for your quick response.

EDIT: Thanks, that did it!

How to change style from mobile to default style ?Any advice ? :D

as per install instructions:

@BadgerDog - I will get back to you soon

Sorry if this is an obvious question but I've installed it and it overwrites my default style! I've had to revert to a backup copy of the database to get rid of it! What have I done wrong?

PS I have installed Lightweight sytle options - I think! But then it still only gives me the mobile style I cannot get back to the default style - more database restores and lost posts :( Nightmare.

sounds like you merged it into your default style - this now has happened to about 3 people that I know of and I can see no reason why. Perhaps it's a bug in vBulletin? Do you have debug mode enabled?

Make sure you add it as a child style. Someone else said they created a new style with no parent, and then merged this one into that.

You don;t need to do DB restores to fix either, in teh vBulletin download package there is a tools.php file - upload it to admincp, open in browser and rebuild master style. That will fix. In the mean time I'll report as a bug ...

Roger that ... :up:

Doug

I've done it before, and it wasn't a bug. ID10T error

Tried it again but adding it as a child style, same result it seems to overwrite *all* my styles, if I do index.php?styleid=XX all I ever get is the mobile style!

Here's what I'm doing - vbulletin 4.1.1

Download / Upload Styles
Import Style XML File:
Import the XML from your server: mobile.xml (renamed by me)
Merge into style: (Create new style)
Ignore style version: Yes
Title for uploaded style: Mobile
Parent Style: Default Style
Display Order: 10
Allow user selection: Yes

It then goes through the upload process, which appears to be sucessful, but then I just get the mobile style and nothing else!

give it a go with no parent (which would make teh Master style the parent which is the default style unmodified)

I've got it working now. The only difference to the above was that I uploaded the style from my PC rather then specifying a file on the server. Shouldn't make any difference but it seemed to do so in this case!

Good to hear it's now going as it should ...

@BadgerDog -

First - if you have the Lightweight STyule Options add-on installed, try adding this:
$vbulletin->options['dt_separate_sticky_normal_active']=0;
$vbulletin->options['dt_separate_sticky_normal_remove']=0;

to the code to disable add-ons section.

If that doesn't work, try editing the Separate Sticky and Normal Threads plugin for for seperate sticky/normal threads and wrap it in

if (STYLEID!=n){

existing pluginin code

}

where n is the lightweight style ID

As for teh Ads stuff, try deleting teh entire contents of the forumhome_ads_code template in the lightweight style

Mark - I don't think it's you. Same just happened on my test site :erm: Uploading from PC = fine. Installing from file on server = messed_up :mad:

using tools.php didn;t help either!!

I'm install in vbulletin 4.1.1

It's work...!
Big thanks @dartho......

Thanks very much Dartho ? :)

For the Separate Sticky and Normal Threads mod that some people here may be using, I didn't bother trying your fix below as I didn't quite understand where to put it, so I don't know whether it would work or not ?

$vbulletin->options['dt_separate_sticky_normal_active']=0;
$vbulletin->options['dt_separate_sticky_normal_remove']=0;

========================================

I DID DO this:

? adding it to these plugins, wrapping both plugins it your code:

It worked PERFECT !!! :up:


For the ads, I did locate the forumhome_ads_code template in your lightweight style and emptied it so it was blank.

It worked PERFECT as well !! :up:

See attached pic as to how a forum with ads and stickies now appears. NO graphic ads in lightweight style now and the stickies seem fine now, yet the ads and stickies are also fine in the main default site graphics style.

Thank you very much !!!

I have sent a second PayPal donation for you help in solving these integration issues with your lightweight style ? :up:

Doug

It wasn't you Mark - it is a confirmed bug in vbuilletin (which they consider "trivial") that has been there since 4.0 http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-3801


@Badgerdog - much appreciated :up:

I just installed this style and it completely broke my forum. All my forums are completely messed up now. I tried deleting the mobile style I imported in Style Manager, but that didn't help. I don't know what I did wrong, but can someone please help?

I added the mobile style via Style Manager in vBulletin, but it destroyed everything. Everything is messed up horribly. All my styling was gone, everything was stripped down and all out of wack.

I tried to re-import my old style but that reverted everything to the standard vbulletin styling.

Worse, when I go to certain subforums now, I get a blank screen, sometimes even when I try my home page.

I deleted the mobile style and deleted the css file from my root forum directory but neither changed anything.

Looking at my old main style in Style Manager, everything is in red meaning it's been overwritten.

I have no idea what do here.

Figured out that the blank screen was being caused by one of the child styles I had was royally messed up. I switched that forum to a different style that seemed to be working and it's coming up now. It's just that all the styling I had done previously is gone. I've started fixing a couple things manually to create some semblance of normalcy, but it's still a giant mess.

i think it is vbulletin bug see this

http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-8302

Thanks. Looks like that's what happened. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can follow their fix. Since what I originally did completely broke everything, I tried to re-import the Master style so I could at least read the board. Unfortunately, it seems doing that over-wrote all my custom styling and I have no idea how to get it back.

do we need 2 rename lightweight.css.php back to lightweight.css after install???????

no - the php file generates the CSS output. Have a look inside and you'll see what I mean.

@PSC001 - sorry to hear about the grief. Can't believe this is still not fixed after a year ...

its not working for me :(

Your site looks OK to me?

Is there some way of having external pics that people refer to using the IMG code, be shown smaller so they don't overflow the right side of the screen causing the display to have to be scrolled sideways?

We use SevenSkins Image Resizer which works for all our other regular PC screen skins, but doesn't seem to be present in this Lightweight Style.

Thanks for any feedback .. :)

Doug

For some reason the mobilelogo.png does not display in the header, and apparently there is no reference to $Logo anywhere in the code, as it is. It is specified in the definitions, but beyond there, it's not in the page generation code.

How do I place the logo in the header?

@Daffy - The logo is defined in the CSS so you can change there or overwrite the existing image file "images/misc/mobilelogo.png"

If you can;t see it being rendered, it could be that your brower doesn't support it, or if you have the options addon for this style you have enetered in text for the header which replaces the logo.

@BadgerDog - could you link me to a page where it's not working. I think I might need admin logo to sort this out, but don't imagine it would take long.

NEVER MIND I got it working!!

I couldn't upload the XML file, I got this error:

Thank you Sir .. :)

Sent you an email ...

Doug

Hi Dartho,

Nice work.

There are 3 hidden files in your zip file ... files name is "OneNote Table Of Contents.onetoc2" I guess we can delete them safely?

Yes you may - I only noticed those yesterday, damned microsoft ...

Brilliant! Tagged and nominated.

John

Again, how do you make the forumlogo appear in this style - it seems defined at one point, but not referenced in the actual page code. Any help, please?

Also, logging in via credentials doesn't seem to always work - it would cycle back to the login screen, and requires trying several times, eventually clicking on the direct link in the login confirmation that appears.

Why are you asking again when I already replied to your original post?

As for logins - different browsers and different platforms behave differently, I've never had an issue when using it via my device on my test site.

Thank for your style

Dartho, sorry for the repeat question - I didn't see your original reply, my bad. Your suggestions worked like a charm.

The login issue is still something I'm chasing - what devices are you using? This is happening on my end on iPhone.

Also, a small suggestion - including an image resize script into the style would be awesome, as that is pretty much all it is missing to deal with posts with images that invariably end up being too large.

Very very nice : http://facebookad.vn/forum
thank you
