Lightweight Style for VB3.8.7 iPhone/Mobile/Cell/PDA

A few have asked for this, hope you like it.

As the title suggests, this is a lightweight style for vBulletin 3.8.7 (and probably most versions before that - A quick test showed it also working under vBulletin 3.7.7!)

It's lightweight (low bandwidth) and works well on most handheld / mobile devices. Some have been know to use it on their desktops and I personally use it for Google as a way of significantly reducing the bandwidth they use.

Post Thanks Integration ( that you have installed)

This probably needs a bit of tweaking, but here goes:

edit post_thanks_box template in the lightweight style and replace contents with:

<div class="windowbg" id="post_thanks_box_$post[postid]">$post_thanks_box</div>

edit post_thanks_button template in lightweight style and replace contents with:

<a id="btn" href="post_thanks.php?$session[sessionurl]do=post_thanks_add&amp;p=$post[postid]&amp;securitytoken=$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" id="post_thanks_button_$post[postid]"<if condition="$vboptions[disable_ajax] != 2"> onclick="return post_thanks_give($post[postid], <if condition="$vboptions[post_groan_integrate]">true<else />false</if>);"</if> <if condition="$display_thanks_image == 'none'">style="display:none"</if> rel="nofollow">Thanks</a>

edit post_thanks_postbit template in the lightweight style and replace contents with:

<if condition="$post['post_thanks_amount'] == 1">
	<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_user_says]</phrase>
<else />
	<phrase 1="$post[post_thanks_amount_formatted]" 2="$post[username]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_users_say]</phrase></if>

$post[post_thanks_bit]

edit postbit and postbit_legacy templates in lightweight style , search for

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/moderated_small.gif" alt="$vbphrase[moderated_post]" border="0" />
</if>
</div>
</if>

and replace with

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/moderated_small.gif" alt="$vbphrase[moderated_post]" border="0" />
</if>
$template_hook[postbit_controls]
</div>
</if>
$template_hook[postbit_end]

caveat: this may introduce other hacks into the lightweight style which use the postbit_end and postbit_control hooks

You can edit all colors in the .css file.

Has anyone tried this on 3.8.7?

[SamirDarji]

I haven't yet, but it should work since that's the version it's meant for.

I just want to be 100% sure this works. I usually read other members' feedback before trying anything.

[BirdOPrey5]

Yes working great for me on 3.8.7.

Do you have it running on a forum we can check it out? I'd love to use it and see if it will work for me.
