Forum Display Enhancements - Mobile Style Options 4.0

This is an add-on for the 4.0 version of my Mobile style. If you do not have this style installed, it is of no use to you!

It adds options to your vBulletin Options for customizing:

• Optionally adds links to default style (in footer or navbar)
• Optionally add 'Posted Via Mobile' message to new posts/threads (message can be customised)
• Optionally display "What's Going On" box in forum home
• Optionally display Style Chooser in footer
• Set 'Home' link URL (rather than editing templates)
• Can hide mobile style from Style Chooser

Install the latest Mobile style (should have same version number as this addon, but may have a different alpha char on end of version number)

Install this add-on and set your options

Version History
1.0.1 - Initial Release port from 3.x
1.0.2 - Fixed up 'Posted via Mobile' options

You can modify how the message displays by editing the "posted_by_mobile_device" template, you could even edit the hook location and have it display above the post

1.0.3 - Reality check for this with issues, no new functionality
1.0.4 - small install change which should stop timeouts on sites with large post tables

What a ++++ing run around I had because of this style.

In the end I had to delete the style, uninstall the plug in. Reupload the original vb style.xml to the install folder.

Upload tools.php and then import the default style from that point on my site is now working. Maybe I just threw caution to the wind but I would strongly suggest trying this on a test install before you put it on your live site.

I have no idea why it went so badly wrong for me perhaps there was a conflict somewhere as it seems to work for other people just fine.

I'm having a couple problems with this style.

1. at the top of the screen we get " {$vbulletin->options['mo37_home_link_text']} "
2. The advertising in the footer still appears, but the header ad is gone. I need to get rid of both ads for the style.

@cbehan - Point 1 is a bug in the style, edit the navbar template in the mobile style and replace

<a class="navbar" href="{vb:raw $vbulletin->options['mo37_navbar_home']}{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{$vbulletin->options['mo37_home_link_text']}</a>

with

<a class="navbar" href="{vb:raw vboptions.mo37_navbar_home}{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:raw vboptions.mo37_home_link_text}</a>

For point 2 edit the footer template and remove the ad hook. Also see this post for another bug fix in the style

@pant - sounds like you merged the mobile style into your master style and overwrote it, never a good idea! Sorry, but that's a user error.

@Kolbi - On sites with large post tables in their DB, there were time outs installing this addon due to a DB update on teh post table. If thius timeout, those columns (mobile, ua) won;t be there and so this error can be ignored - did it remove the add-on otherwise? You can double check for 'ua' and 'mobile' columns in your 'post' and 'thread' tables to check.

I was careful to select no parent, unless I did something else wrong?

Problems occurred when I installed the plugin if you have any ideas about that?

Although what you say rings true, Hmmmmmmm

I've done it myself in the past

Is there any possibility of adding support for the automatic selection of theme based on an Header script to detect Browser type?

I would love to get this theme & add-on set up for 'my' site, however, having to manually select theme each time I switch from my Pré to my Laptop, is putting me off. If this could be automated based on which device I'm using ... that would be just WOW!

I've done this as a seperate product. See here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=226946 And yes, it works with vb 4.0, alternatively you could set up a mobile.domainname.com scenario with help from : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=174381
