Show Thread Enhancements - Auto-Postbit Selector for Mobile Browsers

========== PURPOSE / ABOUT ==========

The purpose of this mod is to auto-switch from legacy postbit to horizontal postbit style whenever a person browses your forum using a mobile device. This helps in creating responsive template, as horizontal postbit occupies less screen width than legacy postbit.
The mobile browser detection is accomplished using a publicly available mobile detection class from: http://code.google.com/p/php-mobile-detect/

There are no options to set, just upload the file and import the xml product.

Looks like I might be the first to try. Hold on to your butts.

Works perfect, thanks!

Any chance you can make it only apply to certain styles (or can provide a way to not include it on a certain style)? I have a dedicated mobile theme and this is causing some issues with it.

Go to your plugin manager in admincp and modify the plugin "Mobile Browser detection and horizontal postbit selector". Just before the first line, add the following:

if (STYLEID != XX) {  // replace XX with the style id of your mobile style

And at the end of plugin, after the last line, simply add a closing curly bracket:

 }
