WAP Plugin BETA

WAP Plugin
BETA
By 007pig at vBulletin Chinese

What is the product for?
WAP is a highly demanded feature of the Chinese customers so I write the plugin.
The plugin is for any vB forums which would like their members browsing them with mobile device. It is able to detect mobile device correctly and provide narrow page output for mobile.
Currently there's only a style for WAP 2.0 devices, that means the plugin doesn't support WAP 1.x/WML device now.

History
Nov 14, 2005
Beta -- Initial release

Installation
1. Unzip.
2. Upload and import the product "product-wap-en.xml".
3. Upload and import the style "vbulletin-style-wap.xml". Remember to select NO for "Allow User Selection".
4. Go to "vBulletin Settings" -> "WAP settings" and change "Default WAP 2.0 Style" to "WAP 2.0".
5. Browse your vB forum with your mobile.

TODO
Create a new style for WML 1.x device.

Please click Install if you have installed this mod.

Search the forums for the Mobile Alabama theme, it's optimized for pocket pc's... hint, when you find it, read all of the threads from the last to the first to find the user updated theme file (it fixes some errors that the original author hasn't addressed yet)

A great plugin!!! Probably a little more work needed on html validating, and tweaking on various templates.

Different phones will return different headers. So create a php page that is something like

<?php

echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']."<br />".$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'];
?>

Browse to it and see what values it returns.

Then compare against the "Get WAP device information" php and tweak so that it recognises your phone.

With some of the more modern phones, they can read normal web pages, and so the headers that they return can be the same as normal browsers. Just a matter of finding some distinguishing factor so that you can serve the correct style.

I tried to install it on a vBB 3.5.2 but when i tried to import the vbulletin-style-wap, it was said, that the product is invalid..

[Nathan2006]

I receive this error once I try to import the style.

This file was created using a different version of vBulletin from the one you are running.

Your version: 3.5.4
File version: 3.5.1
