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** 25/08/2010 This style has been superceded by this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=249277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1.0.2 - Updated version numbers to 4.0.99 (should cover all 4.0 releases with the "Out of date templates" messages.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

This was reported by a user. I don't have a device with dolphin to test on, but user is tech-savvy.

Basically, they first browse to the default (full) vB4 style, then select Mobile from the style drop-down. The page they are redirected to contains the double ?? in the URL.

MSO is installed. Options are:

Title:
Mobile Style: vB4 default
Default Style: vB4 default
Text:
Add link: Top Nav
Home link: index.php
Show Going On: No
Hide Chooser: No
Code to disable addons:

//Disables MGC Chatbox
$vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_active']=0;
//Disables Cyb Chatbox
$vbulletin->options['cybchatbox_enable_product']=0;

@rzakon - That sounds like it would be a vBulletin issue as the all the code which does that is theirs. If you wish to report ot: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/conte...o-report-a-bug

BTW - You should also change the value of Mobile Style from default to Mobile.

hi darth.. i use adsense advertising, but when I enter the forum is advertising and is reflected in the phone as a big empty space. using the mobile skin on the forum you can tell in the screenshot and photos , and disables the adsense advertising so q is not visible when entered via PC or via phone when I go. thanks.
pd: my phone is nokia e-63
forum version:4.0.3 pl1

thats normal that i cant install it on 4.0.4 ?

[dartho]

@elwachiman - you can disable the ads in the mobile style by removing the ad hooks in the temapltes. Edit the footer, forumdisaply, forumhome, header, navbar and showthread themapltes, search for {vb:raw ad_location and delete it (it will actually be something like {vb:raw ad_location.ad_footer_start}, {vb:raw ad_location.ad_forumhome})

Also, you should rename "wrireless.css.txt" to "wireless.css" and upload to your forum root to ad a little colour to the style.

{vb:raw ad_location.ad_footer_end}

Darren - Here is what I did:

Created a subdomain called http://mobile.mydomain.com which redirects to http://mydomain.com/forum.php?styleid=3(the mobile 2.0 style).

When I browse to http://mobile.mydomain.com, the mobile style is displayed as expected. I see the "PC mode" button at the top, when I click on it the mobile style itself is displayed. Am i doing something wrong ?

Thanks

I have installed Mobile options. I have set the default PC style to the VB default style and the default mobile style to Mobile 2.0 style.
