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** 25/08/2010 This style has been superceded by this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=249277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1.0.2 - Updated version numbers to 4.0.99 (should cover all 4.0 releases with the "Out of date templates" messages.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 is a style, not a product. Install via style manager ...

Oh boy.. Do I feel dumb. Wow, thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction!

Havnt had a chance to see this style in action yet..
Im using 4.0 beta 5
Any idea when it will be compatible with this version?
Thanks

[dartho]

shouldn't be a problem with beta 5 I would imagine

[urbanpulse]

I've tried it and it's not accepted when trying to uplaod the XML in admincp it states the the style wasn't created for/with beta 5 :'(

[dartho]

click the checkbox that says to ignore the version!

[urbanpulse]

thanks... everythings installed but when i enter the site on a mobile phone, nothing appears to be different.. have a missed a step somewhere?

[urbanpulse]

right i see, i just changed the style.. i thought it would have been implemented automatically, its not what i was expecting to be honest. i thought it would preview like the i4iphones website when on a mobile device

[dartho]

This isn't an "iPhone" style - it's more generic and will display on devices of all sizes and capabilities, most importantly - mine :-)

There are a few styles for 3.8 for iphones, I'm sure it won't take someone long to update theirs for 4.0.

Also keep an eye out for a future 4.x release of vBulletin with a built in 'lite' style - they've already started work on it, have a look at the postbit_lite template ...
