Forum Style - Lightweight Style for Small Screen Devices (cell phone, iphone, mobile, android)

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.

OK. Try replacing the pagenav template with

 		<vb:if condition="$show['first']">
		<span class="first_last"><a rel="start" href="{vb:raw firstaddress}{vb:raw address2}<vb:if condition="$anchor">#{vb:raw anchor}</vb:if>" title="{vb:rawphrase first_page} - {vb:rawphrase results_x_to_y_of_z, {vb:raw firstnumbers.first}, {vb:raw firstnumbers.last}, {vb:raw total}}">{vb:rawphrase first}</a></span>
		</vb:if>
		<vb:if condition="$show_prior_elipsis && $show['prev'] && $show['first']">
		<span class="separator">...</span>
		</vb:if>
		{vb:raw pagenav}
		<vb:if condition="$show_after_elipsis && $show['next'] && $show['last']">
		<span class="separator">...</span>
		</vb:if>
		<vb:if condition="$show['last']">
		<span class="first_last"><a href="{vb:raw lastaddress}{vb:raw address2}<vb:if condition="$show['pagelinks']"><vb:if condition="$use_qmark">?<vb:else />&amp;</vb:if>page={vb:raw totalpages}</vb:if><vb:if condition="$anchor">#{vb:raw anchor}</vb:if>" title="{vb:rawphrase last_page} - {vb:rawphrase results_x_to_y_of_z, {vb:raw lastnumbers.first}, {vb:raw lastnumbers.last}, {vb:raw total}}">{vb:rawphrase last}</a></span>
		</vb:if>

[nike.stars]

i think i found a bug

if the forum is turned Off, and we try to access the skin via a direct link and then try to log in, it success but i was thrown back to homepage being logged out. however if i try to click PC Mode link, it works fine and also if i switch back to lightweight it is fine. i try it on iphone though

some suggestions: you might want to add "first / prev" for page navigation because it really speed up navigating process. Please also add more spaces between page number as it is very hard to click on a iPhone/touch sensitive based device

[dartho]

For First / Last - have a look on the previous page, post #103.

As for the log in issue, what do you mean by "works fine"

I have found that I can log in with the forums turned off, but can't actually see anything other than the forum closed message. This happens under any style and would be a vBulletin bug. I can't view any posts or threads though?
