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** 25/08/2010 This style has been superceded by this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=249277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1.0.2 - Updated version numbers to 4.0.99 (should cover all 4.0 releases with the "Out of date templates" messages.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.

I can't see a style selector there?

The link is supposed to be in the top nav bar. That's how it's configured.

As you see, there is a problem.

Peace,

I see no problem as I can not see that you have installed any additional styles - how does one select the mobile style on your site? If youy let me know the styleid, that may help

Your Admin panel specifies a default style for mobile and a default for PC. That's what I set. Mobile for the former and the standard one for the latter.

if this is not an automatic process, based on the user agent of the browser, then these steps are not needed or misleading.

I have our modified version of the VB Default Style as 1 and Mobile as 2.

You do not have a means for your users to change styles, without this they can not choose the mobile style.

Clarify. This isn't an automatic process then?

Peace,

No, this is just a style. The addon for this style just adds a few customisation options for the style.

However this product - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=226946 - has been reported to work under vBulletin 4 which may help automate the process.
