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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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.

Nope, didn't make a difference. I still do not get links where images should be.

Take a look.

You have an image resizer add-on which is interfering with the replacement variables.

If you add a new replacement variable in your Mobile style as follows:
search for: border="0" alt="" onload="NcodeImageResizer.createOn(this);" />
replace with: target="_blank">Image</a>
this might fix it for you

I doubt I'll add more - but out of interest, which mod tasks would you want to see?

dartho, how did you do that exactly?

I couldn't figure out a clean way to do that with the templates, so I had to go into the php and set the image bb code file to drop an image with a class and then a link with a class. On my other template, I've got CSS to hide the text link, and with the iPhone template I display:none the image via CSS.

That seems to work just fine, but I'd love to know if there is a way to do that in templates vs the PHP.

Thanks!

By adding a few replacememnt variables with in the mobile style:

Search For: border="0" alt="" />
Replace With: "_blank">Image</a>
Search For: class="inlineimg" />
Replace With: >:-)</a>
Search For: img src="http
Replace With: a href="http

The downside is that you can't show any images in the Mobile style with these in place...

I have installed it and i like

How do I do this though?

Version 0.0.5 - fixed navbar template "Home" link (you will need to edit this if your default forum page is not index.php)

index.php is a portal page
index2.php is the forum page

Any help would be appreciated

Edit:Figured it out after reading through the thread.

Still reading but need to find how to add the style chooser - I cant get out of it now that i'm testing what it looks like on IE
Found it.

Thanks. Like the style. Will be implementing the other add ons for it soon I hope.

3.7.3 Support?

I know it still works, but it shows 6 templates needing reversion, which has not been the case for this mod (for me anyway) as it came up through 3.7.x revisions.

[dartho]

As with pretty much all updates, it is unlikely that there will need to be code changes to this style unless new features are added which need to be incorporated into it.

All templates have a version number which matches the vbulletin version they were last changed in. When a new release is installed, if templates in the new release have been modified for that release, a warning will be shown for all templates (in all styles) that have an older version number.

As this style (and thus its templates) is so cut back it is unlikely that there will need to be edits made. This is especially the case when there are no "mandatory template changes" (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...19&postcount=2)

Edit the 6 templates, make no changes, and then save and the warning messages will go away.

We're going to have this issue every other month now that there are scheduled releases.

You could alternatively download and edit the XML and do a search and replace on 3.7.2 for 3.7.3.

Great information and THANK YOU. Never would have thought of the simply edit and save with no changes. Worked like a charm. :up:
