Default Mobile Options

Hi,

Can someone explain what my options are for mobile-optimized viewing of my vBulletin 3.8.7 forum (community.herinteractive.com) . I've seen a reference to a lightweight style (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=263822), a mobile API download (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H4ek9gZ7pY) , the VB mobile suite.....what are people using to deliver optimized mobile forums? Thanks!

Larry

I'm currently battling with the same issue

I have a vbulletin 3.7.0 site (very customised) with VbA CMPS

I want to create a mobile version of the site

During various trial efforts the closest I came so far was to

Get two instances of vbulletin running in different folders on the same (test) server (and both using the same database) If this takes two licenses on a live site so be it.

So I got one instance root/forums and the other was in root/mobile and both worked fine sharing the same database

With a bit of tinkering around in global.php I then successfully got these two instances using different skins

The idea being I could then modify the files in my 'mobile' vbulletin to my hearts content

Where I was stumped though was in trying to get the two instances to use different CMPS settings - I eventually succeeded in trashing the database so no pages would display in either instance/skin and had to recover from a database backup lol

So I don't know if I am going about this in the right way at all

What is the best method to use so I can have two skins with different layouts... one my existing menu driven 3 column layout for PC users, and the other a 'button driven' single column layout for mobiles?

I am happy to have a go at the coding but would like some pointers in how best to implement what I want

My site by the way is not actually a forum (though it contains a forum) it's an adult contacts site and I used vbulletin/VbA CMPS as the engine on which to base my site

I've had another good think about this... and seeing the output of a php file depends on the templates it calls, and seeing as skins have their own copies of those templates, all I really need is a way of having a different VbA CMS on the mobile version, as I can edit the templates in the mobile skin however I like

However the only way I have figured out to do that is to have two copies of each file (like for example member.php and mob_member.php, so I can apply different CMS layouts to each mobile page, but that seems a bit messy to be honest so there must be a better way to implement this mobile version of my site

Still puzzling over this.....
