vBulletin Mobile Style - CSS Tips & Tricks

With the release of vBulletin 4.1.2, we have available a Mobile Style! You can read more about that here:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/conte...t-Mobile-Style

Currently it's only compatible with the forum, meaning that no matter if you own the vBulletin Suite or vBulletin Forum Classic you can only use this for the forum at the moment however CMS and Blog versions are in development.

Now I've seen some posts already asking how to customize?

Example:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=258994

Now what have I figured out?

The mobile style uses it's own css file, jquery.mobile-1.0a2.min.css
The .css file is located in: clientscript/jquery
Example path to file: clientscript/jquery/jquery.mobile-1.0a2.min.css
The CSS file reads left to right and it's all crammed together, making it hard to edit for novices.

What else Michael? - Well simple, I've found out there's no additional.css included by default which disappointed me slightly although do you truly need it? I say if you plan on customizing then yes if not then no worries! Now we can go about making a few changes to sort all this out but there's several ways ready to see them?

Method 1

Edit Mobile file accordingly or simply add in additional.css so it's parsed. You can add it in very quickly by editing the template headinclude

Find:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['storecssasfile']">

        {vb:cssfile main-rollup.css}

        {vb:raw template_hook.custom_css_links}

<vb:else />

        {vb:cssfile bbcode.css,editor.css,popupmenu.css,reset-fonts.css,vbulletin.css,vbulletin-chrome.css,vbulletin-formcontrols.css{vb:raw template_hook.custom_css_list}}

</vb:if>

Add under:

Code:

{vb:cssfile additional.css}

Save the template, now add in your custom CSS to additional.css, make the necessary changes to your other templates within the mobile style saving those templates as well now refresh to see your changes! Your additional.css now works in the mobile style and upon your next upgrade it will not be overwritten so if you carefully add in custom css or css to overwrite the default css in additional.css you'll never lose those changes!

Method 2

Overwrite the mobile css via a plugin! Check this modification thread:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2171633

Download and install - now instead of editing the mobile css file you simply edit your CSS Templates, scroll down and find mobilestyle.css and double-click to edit, make changes to that css as it's called last and after the file is called! This template should not overwrite with an upgrade either so no worries there.

Optional:
Your calling a css template... let's not make it overwrite the file being called instead let's remove it properly. Open template headinclude

Find:

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="clientscript/jquery/jquery.mobile-1.0a2.min.css?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}" />

Replace with:

Code:

<vb:comment><link rel="stylesheet" href="clientscript/jquery/jquery.mobile-1.0a2.min.css?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}" /></vb:comment>

Save the template, if you installed the modification then your css for the mobile style is now in mobilestyle.css and your no longer overwriting the other file which is the correct way of doing things.

Customize your heart out and enjoy!

Preferred CSS Layout ?

Personally, I hate it when CSS is typed out as it is in the file, it's all crammed together and hard to read and edit imo! So I've taken the liberty and cleaned it up quite a bit, check it out below and remember it's an exact copy only in a more traditional style.

Example:

Code:

.ui-bar-a {

border:1px solid #2A2A2A;

background:#111;

color:#fff;

font-weight:bold;

text-shadow:0 -1px 1px #000;

background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(top,#3c3c3c,#111);

background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear,left top,left bottom,color-stop(0,#3c3c3c),color-stop(1,#111));

-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorStr='#3c3c3c',EndColorStr='#111111')";

}

*If you notice any issues with the CSS attached please report promptly ;).
**I also added in a outline near the end so the logo would not do the dotted border when clicked upon etc.
*** Uploaded as attachment due to code being too long to post, rename and remove .php leaving only .css to view ;).

Awesome! Glad it was helpful :cool:

Alright... You da man... DaSuperman.

Thanks a lot!

I found a easy and painless way to fix the css mess, hopefully it will help anyone wating to customize it.
I downloaded a fresh new properly formatted http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0.1/...bile-1.0.1.css and placed it in the clientscript/jquery folder and then edited the file as needed, (all i wanted was to change the colors in the header bar ui-bar-b) it worked perfectly and is easy to read and edit at will now.

I'm going to install vBulletin Mobile Style now
And certainly I will face some problems
And I will come back to you again to inquire for help
Thank you TheLastSuperman :)

On VB 4.2 the link in the mobile template seems to be like this

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="clientscript/jquery/jquery.mobile-1.0.min.css?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}" />

I don't know why there's all these extra versions in the clientscript directory and I have no idea which one is best so I guess I will just edit a copy of the 1.0.min.css file. However that means that the nicely-spaced version of the code provided above is no longer useful.

What template does this mod actually create? It doesn't seem to create anything in VB4.2.1 , I couldn't find a template after installing it and searching for "mobiletemplate" anyway. This mod should be updated or consigned to the graveyard.

So pleased to be stuck with this mobile template (for which I paid good money and was promised updates) and having to heavily customise the old JQuery code whilst JQuery releases new and better code. Anyway... Does anyone have any idea how I can add thread sorting options to Forumhome in this thing?

It doesn't create a template, this is an article not a mod. See Method #2 above for a link to a mod that creates a template however the css for that is outdated and would need to be updated before use and no I have no plans to do that anytime soon unless pigs decide to fly in my head one afternoon (I'm sure they weill I run off on muddy tangents all the time lol).
