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** 25/08/2010 This style has been superceded by this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=249277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1.0.2 - Updated version numbers to 4.0.99 (should cover all 4.0 releases with the "Out of date templates" messages.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

Switching to the mobile style using the drop-down menu in the vB default style is not working on an Android Dolphin browser. Instead of the URL having ?styleid=#, it ends up as ??styleid=#. This seems to work fine in other browsers.

Any update on when you plan on releasing the new version dartho?

Dartho,

I too came across a similar issue:

When I tried to go back to the default style, from Opera, it was not working. The poage called was: "forum.php?styleid=" a "1" was missing.

- Thanks.

@rzakon & prasanth: When does this behavious happen - the style has no selector by default - have you added your own or do you have Mobile Style Options installed, if teh latter - what option have you selected?

Thanks

@War.Frog - when things are sorted. Look at my current test site vbdev.org (previous test site now deleted) for a preview/download...

You *might* be able to disable it by installing the add-on for this style (Mobile Style Options): https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=229044 and then adding in

// disable GBOS Shout box
$gperm['can_view']=0;

to the "Enter code here to disable addons" section in vBulletin settings

[elwachiman]

// disable GCBOS Shout box
$gperm['can_view']=0;
