About Developer · **Released**: 08-24-2010

A lightweight *forum only style aimed at small screen devices such as Windows Smartphones, Nokias and even iPhones. It has VERY low bandwidth requirements - 15 times less on my site - 20K as opposed to 300K for forumhome.

*forum only - I have done a very small amount of rough work on CMS templates, a simple single column CMS *could* be created to work with this style without too much effort. However I am not sure if you can have a different CMS layout dependent on which style you are using?

This is an update to the mobile style I have previously released.

The changes are predominantly aesthetic to take advantage of larger screens.

It is also much easier to change colour schemes by editing the commented CSS file.

Demo: http://vbdev.org/forum.php?styleid=7

This is a a lightweight style and as such has much reduced functionality/information over the default vBulletin style.

Install instructions:

Firstly, if upgrading, I recommend installing this as a new style rather than overwriting your previous install. This way you get to test it first without trashing your existing style.
BACKUP YOUR EXISTING lightweight.css.php FILE IF YOU HAVE CSS CUSTOMISATIONS
Download ZIP file
Unzip to a local/temp directory
Edit lightweight.css.php file to customise colours if required
Upload contents of the upload directory in the zip file folder to your forum root.
Install style XML via Style Manager in your ADMINCP
**Install and configure "LightWeight Style Options"
See post 2 for a FAQ
Click "Mark as Installed"
Test it out
Leave a rating
Leave feedback
Enjoy checking your site from your mobile phone without the need to pinch/zoom/wait etc...

Version Control:

1.0.0 - 25 AUG 2010 - Initial Release on vBulletin.org
1.0.1 - 26 AUG 2010 - Fixed "Mark All Forums Read" link in Search results. Released Lightweight Style Options to customise this
1.0.2 - 21 MAR 2011 - Updated to 4.1.2, removed short tags from CSS, fixed some issues discovered since last release, added some stuff.
1.0.3 - 16 DEC 2011 - Updated to 1.0.3, tried to fix all known issues. Nothing new. If you have updated your site as bugs have been found, probably no need to upgrade. But if you're upgrading your site from to 4.1.9, might be worthwhile.
1.0.3a - 16 DEC 2011 - remove test ad hook code accidently left in postbit_legacy template

Branding Free:

The style is free to use. However I ask that you keep links in the footer. If you want to remove them - send me a donation of an amount you can afford, or that you think is fair/reasonable, it's up to you how much.

Is there a way to get the lightweight style to default to the forums instead of the default CMS that comes with vbulletin I guess is the appropriate question.

You could edit the vbcms_page template and replace all with something like:

Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">
<head>
	{vb:raw headinclude}
	<title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="bodywrapping">
{vb:raw header}
{vb:raw navbar}
<div><a href="forum.php">CMS Disabled in Mobile View, please click here to proceed to forum</a>
</div>
{vb:raw footer}
</div>
</body>
</html>

There is probably a way to disable vbadvanced for a specific style - I'll do a quick search, but you may want to check over at vbadvanced.com

I installed both this and the options mod, although when loading up my site on the iphone4 at least, it still loads the default PC style instead of the light weight style.

In options I specified the lightweight style as the one to load for mobiles.

Any thoughts on how I can fix this up so lightweight loads automatically on mobile devices?

A couple of questions:

1) Is there a way to reduce the size of images or suppress them altogether?

2) Sometimes videos show up as the entire video and sometimes just a link "Youtube Video". Any idea why?

3) (probably a really stupid thing that I am overlooking because I am sleepy and it's not necessarily about this product alone) Any idea how I can change the styleid number? I'd like it to be the number of the old Mobile style I had.

Thanks.

1. Add replacement variables as follows:

-----------------------------------------------
| search for text......| replace with text
-----------------------------------------------
| border="0" alt="" />.| target="_blank">[image]</a>
| class="inlineimg" />.| >[smilie]</a>
| img src..............| a href
| img src="http........| a href="http
-----------------------------------------------

2. DO you have any media embedding plugins? The videos natively supported by vBuilletin would show as links, but of you have AME or other BBCODE, it would show as a video.

3. You could proably edit the database, but I am not sure of any consequences of this. Otherwise you could probably overwrite the old style and it would retain the same ID number
