Mobile, Cell, Phone, PDA, iPhone Style

vBulletin 4.0 version here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228986

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.

• Supports viewing/posting/replying in forums
• Supports Private Messaging
• Supports Tags (viewing, not adding)
• Supports viewing and replying to messages in Social Groups
• 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 ....

Notes

• If you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found! errors, see Post #329 for more information...
• I suggest you also install this add-on to this style to get more out of it...
• To modify the colour scheme of this style, you have to edit the wireless.css file by hand
• If you use a portal such as vbadvanced which you wish to disable in mobile style, see here

Install Instructions

• Save attached XML to your local computer
• Save attached wireless.css.txt, rename to wireless.css and upload to your forum root

Other useful Add-ons to use in Conjunction with this style

• Extend and Customise Mobile Style

  This is a companion add-on designed specifically for this style which allows you to customise some aspects of it without the need to edit templates. Only works with version 0.0.8 and above

• Mobile Phone / iPhone / PDA Detection and Style Assignment

  Will automatically detect a mobile device and force the user to use a pre-defined style

• Different Domain, Different Style

  Will force the user to a predefined style based on URL visited (eg. visiting mobile.yourdomain.com will force the user to use a pre-defined mobile style wilst www.yourdomain.com will display your defaultstyle to the user
  

• Limit Posts/Thread per Page for a Specific Style

  Will set the maximum number of posts and threads displayed on a page based on a style. Whilst you may want to display 25 threads per page on a desktop, a small screen/mobile device would probably benefit from only showing 5 - 10 threads per page.
  

• 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.

@dartho: it's nice to see how this style has evolved ! :up:

Here are a few more suggestions:

1. I got requests to have today's post and new post in navbar
   navbar template
   

   <if condition="$show['member']">
   <a class="navbar" href="/search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew">
   Unread posts</a>
   <a class="navbar" href="/search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily">
   Today's posts</a>
   ...

2. Add "mobile" to board title, just to know it's a different version
   header template
   

   <div class="header" align="center"><b>$vboptions[bbtitle] Mobile ...

3. the skin is missing a way to open the search page.
4. time and date stamp on new posts page is too vague, is there a way to see 'hh:mm ago' instead of 'today' or 'yesterday' ?

[dartho]

@RCK - Point 4 was taken care of in one of the recent versions.

At the moment, if a user is logged in they get a "New Posts" link, if they are not logged in, they get a Todays Posts link. It shouldn't be hard to have options in a 'companion product' for this style so that the navbars can be customised without template edits - good idea :up:

"Mobile" is appended to the title on forum home, and forum/thread names are used in other pages (since last version I think?)

I haven't yet got around to coding up a mobile search page - thus no links.

If anyone has made modifications to templates/pages which they think would do well to be incorporated into this style, I'd be happy to have a look and implement them also if suitable..

bug report:

space isn't working in opera mobile integrated in UIQ 3.0 (M600i / P990i / P1i / W950i / W960i) when typing in the quick reply box

[dartho]

Have you tried installing the latest version - 0.0.6 ? I think this was resolved there... maybe...

[Edit: sorry - re-read you post and realised you're probably talking about something different. Q. Does space work in the full style in the quick reply box from your device?]

[nike.stars]

try to download the latest version and it doesn't seems to be fixed, i've try to use my standard skin (vbseo skin) and the space character works normally, maybe a bug in the text area formatting?

btw, as an addition, maybe you should consider to include the skin selector in this skin in case some desktop users mis-select this skin and can't revert back to the standard one

[dartho]

Not sure how far wrong it can go... here's the code:

<div>
<form action="newreply.php" method="post">
<textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="30" style="height:100px;width:100%" tabindex="1">

Posted via Mobile Device</textarea><br />
<input type="hidden" name="wysiwyg" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="fromquickreply" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="postreply" />
<input type="hidden" name="t" value="$threadid" id="qr_threadid" />
<input type="hidden" name="p" value="who cares" id="qr_postid" />
<input type="hidden" name="parseurl" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="clickedelm" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
<input type="submit" class="button" value="Post Reply" />
</form>
</div>

You could perhaps try editing the showthread template and remove the extra line and the "Posted via Mobile Device" ?

BTW - the code for style chooser is here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=131

I haven't included it by default as I don't need or want it for my implementation of this style - I don;t allow my members to choose their own styles. I will however be releasing an add-on to go with this style in the future so options such as that can be turned on and off in the AdminCP

[nike.stars]

thanks for the tips, it works fine now by just removing that extra line and the text following it do you have any idea why that happen?

thanks for the style chooser code too, i appreciate that

look forward for the additional add-on..

[dartho]

no idea I'd guess Opera just didn't like the blank line. textareas are allowed to have default text in them... If you wished to keep the message there, perhaps try without the blank line?

[nike.stars]

yes, the default text are okay, except the extra blank line causing space character trouble

i upgraded my forum to 3.7 JUST to use this skin

and installed and it is working fast on my pda
