Mobile/Cell Phone Style

A version for 3.7 can be found HERE

A super light style designed for Mobile Phones - use in conjunction with THIS or THIS modification to redirect mobile phone users to this theme.

This is a work in progress, and any and all feedback is greatly appreciated - I will do my best to act on bugs and suggestions.

Check http://mobility.mobi (not my site) from a mobile device to see how it looks or you can visit via an emulator HERE

Whilst this doesn't have ALL functionality of vBulletin default, it does allow browsing forums, replying to posts, creating new topics and sending/receiving PMs.

I'm new at this, be kind.

Version History
1.00 - Initial Release
2.00 - Validates Strict XHTML 1.0 on http://validator.w3.org/
Added PM notification, fixed new reply, new thread, new PM to look better. Can edit posts. Added Logout and also an "Up" menu which will take you to the parent forum of where ever you currently are. Images in posts are replaced with a link to the image - unfortunately this meant I had to do teh same to smilies which all now show up as :-) (which is a link to teh smilie itself). It is now approaching a fully functioning skin - not sure what else you would want to do from a mobile phone/PDA. A few small bugs fixed too.
2.01 - Added viewing thread subscriptions, who's online (both only for logged on members) and quick reply
2.02 - Quick reply for logged on members only
2.03 - fix a w3.org validation issue, added "mark forums read" to forum home
2.04 - Internal release
2.05 - added mark as read to 'new posts' added 'sub' (Subscribed threads) and 'online' (who's online) footer navbar forum name in post title (as link) fixed a few things.
2.06 - Page numbers appear in thread bits
- UserCP page, with access to PMs, Subscribed Threads, Edit Signature, Edit Options (which includes changing view from oldest first to newest first
- Basic MOD options added - can delete posts and threads (and undelete also)
- Remember me added to login in footer (duplicate login screens removed
- I should probably test this latest version more extensively and re validate it, but thought you wouldn;t mind a pre-release

2.07 - Added requests, revalidated STRICT XHTML on w3.org. If you have modified your existing install of this, I suggest you backup the style first before upgrading with this new version just in case you want to roll back.
2.08 - Remove backlink from FORUMHOME
2.09 - updated version numbers on templates to 3.6.9
2.10 - added securitytoken field to all forms

A Spanish translation can be found in post # 200 HERE

Install Instructions
Unzip and upload the wireless.css to your forum root.
Import the XML as a new style WITH NO PARENT.

Upgrade Instructions
Unzip and upload the wireless.css to your forum root (overwriet existing).
Import the XML and merge with existing. Alternatively you could delete the existing mobi style and re-upload fresh.

Keywords: Mobile, Cell, Portal, Mobi, Light, PDA, Phone

Screen Shots - Don;t be put off by the colours, these are all very easily changed by editing the CSS file. If you need help, just ask. I did these from a desktop browser with the window resized to 240px wide - to get a proper idea of the look, use the emulator link mentioned above. It looks MUCH better from an actualy small screen device!



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.

[dartho]

Are you installing via product manager or style manager?

[incisor]

as a style...

tried again tonite and it went fine, so it is clear it was something at my end..

not sure what but it worked fine....

[Tralala]

I'd love this skin, and am still on 3.6.x so can't (yet) use the 3.7 upgrade.

Any chance this version can get the update: "Added auto quoting when replying to a post"
(Cuz that's really the only thing my users are clamoring for.)

And I can't justify going through the hassle of upgrading my whole forum to 3.7 just yet, just to use that skin, just to get that feature.

Thanks for the consideration.

Changing your newreply template to the following should do the trick

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar
<div class="titlebg">Reply To: $threadinfo[title]</div>
<form action="newreply.php" method="post">
<div>
$vbphrase[message]:<br />
<textarea name="message" id="{$editorid}_textarea" rows="10" cols="15" style="width:100%; height:100px">$newpost[message]</textarea>
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="postreply" />
<input type="hidden" name="t" value="$threadid" />
<input type="hidden" name="p" value="$postid" />
<input type="hidden" name="posthash" value="$posthash" />
<input type="hidden" name="poststarttime" value="$poststarttime" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" value="$vbphrase[submit_reply]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
</div>
</form>
$footer
</body>
</html>

[Tralala]

That worked just fine, thanks very much, dartho!

Very nice style!

Right now vBshout shoutbox displays on my PDA. Any way to disable the shoutbox for this style only?

[dartho]

I think you could revert all the forumhome_vbshout templates for this style (make sure you don;t do this on your otehr styles, only for styles you don;t want vbshout to show up for!

Alternatively you could wrap the plugin code for vbshout templates in conditionals.

Edit all the vBshout [Template Alteration] plugin and add a new line at the start:

if (STYLEID != xx){

replace the XX with the styleid number of this style

and a new line at the end

}

How is a user to unset this style? Once using this skin, the UserCP => Select Skin option is no longer available
Or am I missing something?

[dartho]

Edit your navbar or footer template and add in a link back to you main page default style

<a class="navbar" href="$vboptions[bburl]/index.php?$session[sessionurl]styleid=xx>Full Version</a>

where xx is the styleid number of your default style
