About Developer · **Released**: 08-24-2010

A lightweight *forum only style aimed at small screen devices such as Windows Smartphones, Nokias and even iPhones. It has VERY low bandwidth requirements - 15 times less on my site - 20K as opposed to 300K for forumhome.

*forum only - I have done a very small amount of rough work on CMS templates, a simple single column CMS *could* be created to work with this style without too much effort. However I am not sure if you can have a different CMS layout dependent on which style you are using?

This is an update to the mobile style I have previously released.

The changes are predominantly aesthetic to take advantage of larger screens.

It is also much easier to change colour schemes by editing the commented CSS file.

Demo: http://vbdev.org/forum.php?styleid=7

This is a a lightweight style and as such has much reduced functionality/information over the default vBulletin style.

Install instructions:

Firstly, if upgrading, I recommend installing this as a new style rather than overwriting your previous install. This way you get to test it first without trashing your existing style.
BACKUP YOUR EXISTING lightweight.css.php FILE IF YOU HAVE CSS CUSTOMISATIONS
Download ZIP file
Unzip to a local/temp directory
Edit lightweight.css.php file to customise colours if required
Upload contents of the upload directory in the zip file folder to your forum root.
Install style XML via Style Manager in your ADMINCP
**Install and configure "LightWeight Style Options"
See post 2 for a FAQ
Click "Mark as Installed"
Test it out

Enjoy checking your site from your mobile phone without the need to pinch/zoom/wait etc...

Version Control:

1.0.0 - 25 AUG 2010 - Initial Release on vBulletin.org
1.0.1 - 26 AUG 2010 - Fixed "Mark All Forums Read" link in Search results. Released Lightweight Style Options to customise this
1.0.2 - 21 MAR 2011 - Updated to 4.1.2, removed short tags from CSS, fixed some issues discovered since last release, added some stuff.
1.0.3 - 16 DEC 2011 - Updated to 1.0.3, tried to fix all known issues. Nothing new. If you have updated your site as bugs have been found, probably no need to upgrade. But if you're upgrading your site from to 4.1.9, might be worthwhile.
1.0.3a - 16 DEC 2011 - remove test ad hook code accidently left in postbit_legacy template

Branding Free:

The style is free to use. However I ask that you keep links in the footer. If you want to remove them - send me a donation of an amount you can afford, or that you think is fair/reasonable, it's up to you how much.

Hi, I've searched but have not found this mentioned. Some users on the forum rely heavily on their subscribed threads list, and are reporting that threads they start when using Lightweight on not showing on the list, though they do appear once they make a reply to the same thread. We are on 4.1.4. I just tested and had the same result.

try this:
edit newthread template, search for

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="{vb:raw session.sessionhash}" />

and add immediately after

Code:

<input type="hidden" id="subscribe" name="subscribe" value="1" />

Code:

				<optioncode>select:eval
$options = fetch_style_title_options_array();$options = array('-1' => $vbphrase['none']) + $options;</optioncode>
			</setting>

This works alright, please let me know if there is better fix.

where do I edit this?

anyone?

dartho · #**467** 08-09-2011, 01:32 PM

in the XML before it is imported

RRiccio · #**468** 08-10-2011, 01:23 PM

Its already installed, can I just import it again over the already installed? Will I lose the modifications I did?

thank you

You can do it that way, as an upgrade install. Usually you get the best results if you uninstall first before re-installing, however. Another option would be to give it a different name and install it alongside your current install, then move over your customizations before uninstalling the original version.
