Mobile/Cell Phone Style

A version for 3.7 can be found HERE

A super light style designed for Mobile Phones - use in conjunction with THIS or THIS modification to redirect mobile phone users to this theme.

This is a work in progress, and any and all feedback is greatly appreciated - I will do my best to act on bugs and suggestions.

Check http://mobility.mobi (not my site) from a mobile device to see how it looks or you can visit via an emulator HERE

Whilst this doesn't have ALL functionality of vBulletin default, it does allow browsing forums, replying to posts, creating new topics and sending/receiving PMs.

I'm new at this, be kind.

Version History
1.00 - Initial Release
2.00 - Validates Strict XHTML 1.0 on http://validator.w3.org/
Added PM notification, fixed new reply, new thread, new PM to look better. Can edit posts. Added Logout and also an "Up" menu which will take you to the parent forum of where ever you currently are. Images in posts are replaced with a link to the image - unfortunately this meant I had to do teh same to smilies which all now show up as :-) (which is a link to teh smilie itself). It is now approaching a fully functioning skin - not sure what else you would want to do from a mobile phone/PDA. A few small bugs fixed too.
2.01 - Added viewing thread subscriptions, who's online (both only for logged on members) and quick reply
2.02 - Quick reply for logged on members only
2.03 - fix a w3.org validation issue, added "mark forums read" to forum home
2.04 - Internal release
2.05 - added mark as read to 'new posts' added 'sub' (Subscribed threads) and 'online' (who's online) footer navbar forum name in post title (as link) fixed a few things.
2.06 - Page numbers appear in thread bits
- UserCP page, with access to PMs, Subscribed Threads, Edit Signature, Edit Options (which includes changing view from oldest first to newest first
- Basic MOD options added - can delete posts and threads (and undelete also)
- Remember me added to login in footer (duplicate login screens removed
- I should probably test this latest version more extensively and re validate it, but thought you wouldn;t mind a pre-release

2.07 - Added requests, revalidated STRICT XHTML on w3.org. If you have modified your existing install of this, I suggest you backup the style first before upgrading with this new version just in case you want to roll back.
2.08 - Remove backlink from FORUMHOME
2.09 - updated version numbers on templates to 3.6.9
2.10 - added securitytoken field to all forms

A Spanish translation can be found in post # 200 HERE

Install Instructions
Unzip and upload the wireless.css to your forum root.
Import the XML as a new style WITH NO PARENT.

Upgrade Instructions
Unzip and upload the wireless.css to your forum root (overwriet existing).
Import the XML and merge with existing. Alternatively you could delete the existing mobi style and re-upload fresh.

Keywords: Mobile, Cell, Portal, Mobi, Light, PDA, Phone

Screen Shots - Don;t be put off by the colours, these are all very easily changed by editing the CSS file. If you need help, just ask. I did these from a desktop browser with the window resized to 240px wide - to get a proper idea of the look, use the emulator link mentioned above. It looks MUCH better from an actualy small screen device!



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.

As for disabling the threads - have you done this in your standard skin?

It kinda worked....my site is setup funny. Look at the full size and mobile version:

Full Size
Mobile Skin

In the Mobile skin "Outside The Lines" is clickable on the index but the others aren't even though they are displayed.

Try applying the same change to the "forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost" template (this has been done in the 2.07 version)

[SBlueman]

That did the trick, thank you!

[Bojangles]

Installed just fine for 3.6.8. Great mod! Definately useful for myself and a couple of other users who like to use their cell phones/blackberries to check our forums .

[dartho]

New version uploaded - the only change from 2.07 is the removal of the "2.07 by TWF" link at the bottom of the FORUMHOME template. You are now free to remove this at no cost.

To those few that donated in order to remove this previously - let me know if you want a refund (it would be unfair that you paid for something which everyone now gets for free!)

[Dekard]

This is a great mod. I use it on my mobile phone and quite a few of my users do as well. Thanks a ton for making this available to us.

Naaa u deserve the $$

So in the new version, nothing about "new posts" was changed right? The whole thing I was talking about before, making threads with new posts with bold and everything else in normal??

Thank you sir!

[dartho]

in 2.07 and subsequently 2.08 new posts are highlighted in the same manner that new threads are highlighted and forums which contain new threads/posts are also highlighted :up:

Installed - waiting on feedback from my users. This is really appreciated

Only question - when I use this, I can't see a way to switch back for desktop use. I've advised users to create a second account for using this, but have I missed something?

You need to use this mod too:

When someone goes mobile, it will automatically set that mobile style. But on a computer, they will see your actual style.
