I actually adapted one of your first versions so much ... I'm scared to try and upgrade

If this has been posted before please ignore... I haven't gone through it all yet. I have been testing caching. I noticed that my BlackBerry was caching an awfully lot on the 3.7 version.

I kept having to refresh when clicking a link. I have added the following META tags to the style and I'm letting it sit for a week or two to get a good test:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT ="no-cache">

or

<META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="0">

*NOTE*: I only added it to the online template, search template and forum home template. I realize that it can slow things down a bit, but having to refresh was getting annoying

Have you thought about caching or has anyone else had this issue?

I've not noticed any issues on my own site using PocketIE on a windows mobile device, but it makes sense...

I had the same problem and I noticed that the adv_portal template (likely from vBAdvanced had this code:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$pages['name'] == 'home'">
    <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
    <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
    <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" />
</if> 


So, I removed the <If ... <//if> and my vBAdvanced pages are no longer cached!

Next, I went into the mobile style and mofified the headinclude value to add the following:

PHP Code:

    <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
    <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
    <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" /> 


Now my Blackberry does not cache anything on my forums but that is a good things as forum content is always changing!

Lastly, I also modified the navbar template to add links to the pages my users are most likely going to use from their mobile device:

PHP Code:

<a class="navbar" href="$vboptions[bburl]/search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew">$vbphrase[new_posts]</a>
<a class="navbar" href="$vboptions[bburl]/search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a>
<a class="navbar" href="$vboptions[bburl]/search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=process&showposts=0&exactname=1&searchuser=$bbuserinfo[username]">My Posts</a> 
<a class="navbar" href="$vboptions[bburl]/search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=process&showposts=0&starteronly=1&exactname=1&searchuser=$bbuserinfo[username]">My Topics</a> 


Note that My Posts and My Topics are not vBulletin phrases SO if you update the style you might need to create a product.xml file to add these

Lastly, I made some changes to vBAdvanced to remove the vBAdvanced integrations from pages shown to this style and I posted the details on what was needed here:

I hope that helps someone else.... :up:

Note I have made other changes to the style and templates that I can't try to list here!
