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** 25/08/2010 This style has been superceded by this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=249277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1.0.2 - Updated version numbers to 4.0.99 (should cover all 4.0 releases with the "Out of date templates" messages.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

I am unable to upload this XML file (I have 4.0.2). It just says "Invalid File Specified". Any idea why this may be?

Did you tick the box to ignore version number?

Is there a way to display notices in this style?

How do you do that? I don't know where to find that option in my adminCP.

Thank you.

[dartho]

Are you installing this as a product or style?

[lilquit]

I activated this, but it still doesnt show when i look on my phone. how do i activate?

[dartho]

You need to download and install it on your site.

[lilquit]

i did, how do i make it so it automatically goes to this style from a mobile phone.

also, how do I make it so you dont have to log in to view threads?

[dartho]

Logging in to view threads is style indpendant - that's your sites configurations placing those restrictions.

vBulletin.org is configuresd such that when a members downloads a modification, it disaplys a notice to the author of the modification accordingly. Same as when you click the "Mark as Installed" link. As fgar as I can tell, you have not downloaded this styel nor clicked the "Mark as Installed" (which makes no difference to functionality, so doesn;t really matter)

Anyway - assuming that vBulletin.org is wrong and to answer your question, install and configure this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=226946

vBulletin are actively working on a mobile style/interace, lets see what they have to offer ...

Thanks for making this theme.

The cms can be done but you need to lose the widgets as a compromise. Then the cms can be skinned for mobile devices, its not ideal but its mobile so its all there is.
