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** 25/08/2010 This style has been superceded by this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=249277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1.0.2 - Updated version numbers to 4.0.99 (should cover all 4.0 releases with the "Out of date templates" messages.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.

ah - don't revert templates! reverting them tunrs them into vBulletin default style!

[dartho]

If you want to get rid of the "Out of Date Templates" messages you can run the following query via "Maintenance=>Execurte SQL Query" the to get rid of those messages

change DBNAME to the name of your database,XX to the styleid number of the mobile style and 4.0.2 to whatever the version number currently is.

UPDATE `DBNAME`.`template` SET `version` = '4.0.2', `mergestatus` = 'none' WHERE `template`.`styleid` =XX;

Didn't see any other option at the time

Have re-installed and so far appears to be working perfectly on 4.0.2 PL1

Thanks.

The videos are embedded using the [ video ] tag.

Thanks.

Edit the bbcode_video template in teh mobile style and replace it's contents with:

<vb:if condition="$provider == 'hulu'">
  <a href="http://www.hulu.com/embed/{vb:raw code}" target="_blank">Hulu Video</a>
<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'youtube'" />
  <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/{vb:raw code}" target="_blank">Youtube Video</a>
<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'vimeo'" />
  <a href="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id={vb:raw code}" target="_blank">Vimeo Video</a>
<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'dailymotion'" />
  <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/{vb:raw code}" target="_blank">Dailymotion Video</a>
<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'metacafe'" />
  <a href="http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/{vb:raw code}.swf" target="_blank">Metacafe Video</a>
<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'google'" />
  <a href="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid={vb:raw code}" target="_blank">Google Video</a>
<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'facebook'" />
  <a href="http://www.facebook.com/v/{vb:raw code}" target="_blank">Facebook Video</a>
</vb:if>

I just installed on 4.0.1 and when I go to the style on my iphone the background is white and the forum links are blue. I tried logging in and it wouldn't take me back to the index page. When I clicked on the link to get me back it gave me a blank screen. I entered the URL myself and a logged in, but still there is no style showing up at all.

Is that what I should be seeing? Based on the pictures posted I thought there was more.
