Forum Style - Mobile Style for vBulletin 4.0
 

** 25/08/2010 This style has been superceded by this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=249277

However, you can run them both if you know you have older mobile phones accessing your site as they may be able to render this one better **




This is a port of my mobile style from 3.7/3.8 to 4.0.0.

It is a very cut back style with very low bandwidth usage which renders well on pretty much all small screen devices from old Nokias to new iPhones.

Currently it only supports forums/thread/posts/PMs. Recent vBulletin features such as Social Groups, Albums, Blogs are not supported (although they should still disaplyin a not-so-mobile-friendly way...)

Further customise this style with Mobile Style Options!

• Supports viewing/posting/replying in forums
• Supports Private Messaging
• Supports Tags (viewing, not adding)
• Supports Thread Prefixes
• has an add-on product to customise here: Extend and Customise Mobile Style (It is recommended that you install this also, but not required)
• Supports other stuff too ....

Version Control
1.0.0 - Initial Relase from 3.7
1.0.1 - Fixed issue with "Friendly URL's" not being compatible
1.0.2 - Updated version numbers to 4.0.99 (should cover all 4.0 releases with the "Out of date templates" messages. Removed Replacement Variables.
1.0.3 - Fixed known template bugs


Install Instructions

1. Save wireless.css.txt to wireless.css and uppload to your forum root
2. Save XML style file and install via AdminCP

Notes

• To change style attributes, you need to edit the CSS file
• Please leave copyright and the link as they are - it links to a very niche forum which is very ulikely to detract from or take members form your own.

As you were.

Thanks!

Awesome work, much appreciated.

Have you kept the looks the same? I've not installed the vb4 beta yet but I'd love to see a few screenshots of how this is looking. It's much anticipated.

Looks the same - I've changed as liitle as possible. It is the same CSS file, so if You've made customisations, they will still work also.

This will be great for mobile users, however, I'm having some troubles with the links in the forum. When I try opening a post it will just refresh the threadlist, and when I click on the Forum link on top I get the message: Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator.
Can I fix this? Thanks :)

Thanks,

Dartho made this quickly after I had asked about a vB4 version, and I had the pleasure of being the guy to test it for him.

Confirmed working on a Samsung Messenger SCH-r450 as well as the 3.8/3.7 version.

I can also confirm the Different Domain, Different Style hack for the vb 3 series still works for vb4. So grab it and this and hook up mobile.yourdomain.com and you're good to go!

Can I have a link to your mobile site/style so I can look?

Thanks, however do you ever plan to make this work nicely with profiles and blogs etc.
