Mobile, Cell, Phone, PDA, iPhone Style

vBulletin 4.0 version here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228986

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.

• Supports viewing/posting/replying in forums
• Supports Private Messaging
• Supports Tags (viewing, not adding)
• Supports viewing and replying to messages in Social Groups
• 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 ....

Notes

• If you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found! errors, see Post #329 for more information...
• I suggest you also install this add-on to this style to get more out of it...
• To modify the colour scheme of this style, you have to edit the wireless.css file by hand
• If you use a portal such as vbadvanced which you wish to disable in mobile style, see here

Install Instructions

• Save attached XML to your local computer
• Save attached wireless.css.txt, rename to wireless.css and upload to your forum root
• In AdminCP go to "Styles and Templates"
• In the "Import Style XML File" section browse to where you saved the XML
• Click "Import" button
• Come back to this page and click "Mark as Installed"

Other useful Add-ons to use in Conjunction with this style

• Extend and Customise Mobile Style

  This is a companion add-on designed specifically for this style which allows you to customise some aspects of it without the need to edit templates. Only works with version 0.0.8 and above

• Mobile Phone / iPhone / PDA Detection and Style Assignment

  Will automatically detect a mobile device and force the user to use a pre-defined style

• Different Domain, Different Style

  Will force the user to a predefined style based on URL visited (eg. visiting mobile.yourdomain.com will force the user to use a pre-defined mobile style wilst www.yourdomain.com will display your defaultstyle to the user
  

• Limit Posts/Thread per Page for a Specific Style

  Will set the maximum number of posts and threads displayed on a page based on a style. Whilst you may want to display 25 threads per page on a desktop, a small screen/mobile device would probably benefit from only showing 5 - 10 threads per page.
  

• How to hide a style from style chooser

  This template edit will allow you to 'hide' a style from the Style Chooser so users can't select a specified style.

Other Mobile Styles worth checking out

• ElForro's iPhone / iPod Touch Optimized Style
• Zachery's vB Lite Style
• vBMechanics Mobile Alabama Style

I haven't included a style chooser by default as I don't need or want it for my implementation of this style - I don't allow my members to choose their own styles.

Does shoutbox work from your device with the default vBulletin style? If there are any automatic template edits being made by the shoutbox addon, these will quite likely fail - you'll need to make template edits manually

Hi Dartho,

1)
The attachments display so much better but is there any way to have a space between the titles of the attachments? In threads where there are more than one attachment it looks very messy

2)
Also, I tried to post a test thread using the opera mini simulator. It will not let me post my message above the "Posted via Mobile Device"? The only solution I can find to make it work is to delete that text.

Out of interest, why did you include "Posted via mobile device"?

3)
I guess the user should also be given the option to subscribe to the thread when they post it.
I (personally) would find that useful.

4)
Can you tell me where I find the style folder for this on my ftp?
I wanted to see if these worked with it

@Callumbush:
1) Next version
2) Next version will have a companion which will do this differently and allow you to customise this message via admincp
3) Too hard - user should set things up to subscribe to all threads they post in, or use a PC when they wanna do such things
4) There is no style folder

I hope to have the next version released with a companion product for customising stuff tomorrow(otherwise not many changes) - although it's simple, existing users should find this pretty cool - and I look forward to more suggestions

This has now been updated to version 0.0.8

Only real changes are to integrate with add-on product - see https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=182692 for more information

[mariocaz]

Dartho I have a question, the add-on comes in this product or also I have to download and install the add-on ?

thank you.

[dartho]

This is the style only - products and styles can;t be released in same package. If you'd like to use the features in the add-on you will need to download and install that in addition to updating the style to 0.0.8.

The add-on is not required for this style to work - it just ads a few options to save people having to change templates by hand

[nike.stars]

thanks for including my "what's going on" modification, but i think you should include proper credits for me either in source code / the option

[Darat]

Excellent work - been promising my users for a couple of years we'd have a good mobile style and you've delivered it. Thanks

@dartho:
Please insert the following remaining phrases as soon as possible into the templates because it is very time consuming to replace words like "Today's Posts", "UserCP" etc. in your templates again and again after every single update (my forum's main language is not english but german).

  with
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
