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 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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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
• In AdminCP go to "Styles and Templates"
• In the "Import Style XML File" section browse to where you saved the XML
• Click "Import" button
• Come back to this page and click "Mark as Installed"

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.

Some feedback during my April Fool's joke using this style:
The quick reply box isn't obvious to most people, so they are clicking Post Reply and since the Posted via Mobile Device is there, it will post and their post is empty.

This is based on hardly any of my users seeing this theme before, so they think they're going to the full editor instead of doing a quick reply.

I do like the changes you've made, very clean/usable IMO.


BTW, if anyone wants to see, here's my April Fool's joke with this theme: http://www.x-h2o.com/showthread.php?t=33726 Some of the comments are LOL

Hi Dartho,

When installing a new version, I just merge it into the old 'mobile' style. Is this correct?

Upgrade to RC2 -- and as usual it says you need to revert templates for style 'mobile'. Is there anyway to dismiss these? I've edited it and changed the version number to RC2.

Regards Jason

[dartho]

That should be OK, Jase2 - and may revert templates also? I usually install fresh and then delete the old version..

[Jase2]

Yes, it's asking to revert the templates. Shall I revert for 'mobile'?

Regards Jason

[dartho]

Yes, I think so...

BTW - I edited the XML and updated version numbers to RC2

[mac27]

Hey clicked install. It seems to be working great so far. I will let you know if I run into any problems with it. Thanks a million for this.

Hello Dartho,

Can you add google ads for mobiles to this style? I'm trying to add them, and I get the following error (tried a few templates):

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/user/public_html/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3708) : eval()'d code on line 39

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

Any ideas?

[dartho]

Got any links?
