Forum Style - Mobile Style for vBulletin 4.0

** 25/08/2010 This style has been superceded by this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=249277

However, you can run them both if you know you have older mobile phones accessing your site as they may be able to render this one better **




This is a port of my mobile style from 3.7/3.8 to 4.0.0.

It is a very cut back style with very low bandwidth usage which renders well on pretty much all small screen devices from old Nokias to new iPhones.

Currently it only supports forums/thread/posts/PMs. Recent vBulletin features such as Social Groups, Albums, Blogs are not supported (although they should still disaplyin a not-so-mobile-friendly way...)

Further customise this style with Mobile Style Options!

• Supports viewing/posting/replying in forums
• Supports Private Messaging
• Supports Tags (viewing, not adding)
• Supports Thread Prefixes
• has an add-on product to customise here: Extend and Customise Mobile Style (It is recommended that you install this also, but not required)
• Supports other stuff too ....

Version Control
1.0.0 - Initial Relase from 3.7
1.0.1 - Fixed issue with "Friendly URL's" not being compatible
1.0.2 - Updated version numbers to 4.0.99 (should cover all 4.0 releases with the "Out of date templates" messages. Removed Replacement Variables.
1.0.3 - Fixed known template bugs


Install Instructions

1. Save wireless.css.txt to wireless.css and uppload to your forum root
2. Save XML style file and install via AdminCP

Notes

• To change style attributes, you need to edit the CSS file
• Please leave copyright and the link as they are - it links to a very niche forum which is very ulikely to detract from or take members form your own.

As you were.

"still" - there was a significant amount of work to upgrade this for vb4. I also have a new CSS file in the pipeline to pretty things up a little more without adding too much overheads

Hey dartho, skin works great! Question though. Is there no "quote" option? Or am I missing it?

didn't the old theme jump you to the newest post when you clicked on a thread? i would love to have that back. i already fixed the class_core so i guess the rest is in the forum display links or something?

Sorry, I cannot import this style into a vBulletin 4.0.1 installation. Says something about a 4.0.99.

Peace,
Gene

Edit the threadbit template, find:

<a href="{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}, {vb:raw pageinfo}, 'threadid', 'threadtitle'}" id="thread_title_{vb:raw thread.realthreadid}">{vb:raw thread.threadtitle}</a>

and replace with

<a href="{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}, {vb:raw pageinfo_newpost}, 'threadid', 'threadtitle'}" id="thread_gotonew_{vb:raw thread.realthreadid}">{vb:raw thread.threadtitle}</a>

Edit the newreply template and replace

<textarea name="message" id="{$editorid}_textarea" rows="10" cols="15" style="width:100%; height:100px">{vb:raw newpost.message}</textarea>

with

<vb:comment><textarea name="message" id="{$editorid}_textarea" rows="10" cols="15" style="width:100%; height:100px">{vb:raw newpost.message}</textarea></vb:comment>

{vb:raw messagearea}

I tried that.

Installed the wireless.css file in the forum root. Installed the style and the plugin, and configured the plugin to use the Mobile style when connecting via a mobile device.

Doesn't seem to work that way on my iPhone. Is that not supported?

Peace,
Gene

Have you made the style user selectable?
