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.

Thanks for the translation! I'll post a link in the product description to your post.

As for centering and bolding, editing the header template and replacing

<div class="header">$vboptions[bbtitle]</div>

with

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

should do the trick...

This style has been tested by many people on many devices and seems to do its job well. If you actually have a mobi domain name and require compliance, let me know - I think the tweaks are in this thread somewhere on how to get a 5/5 on ready.mobi

I did it already.
with Doctype

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd" >

I made ready.mobil "very happy" but my pages still stay to huge as of unicode characters of Armenian represented in HTML code with 7 symbols like & # 1 3 7 7 ; per one letter ա, so on some pages it needs 7 times more Bytes.

[dartho]

ready.mobi is obviously not Armenian friendly A global TLD such as mobi should take such factors into account when designing systems such as ready.mobi

So long as your members are happy!

Does anyone know if its possible to alter this style to be able to download attachments?

[dartho]

Sure can....

In postbit_legacy search for

<div class="windowbg">$post[message]

Replace with

<div class="windowbg">$post[message]<br />
		<!-- attachments -->
		<if condition="$show['attachments']">
			<div><span>Attached: </span>
			<if condition="$show['thumbnailattachment']">
					<span>$post[thumbnailattachments]</span>
			</if>
		
			<if condition="$show['imageattachment']">
					<span>$post[imageattachments]</span>
			</if>
			
			<if condition="$show['imageattachmentlink']">
					<span>$post[imageattachmentlinks]</span>
			</if>
			
			<if condition="$show['otherattachment']">
					<span>$post[otherattachments]</span>
			</if>
			
			<if condition="$show['moderatedattachment']">
					<span>$post[moderatedattachments]</span>
			</if>
			
			</div>
		<!-- / attachments -->
		</if>

Copy entire contents of postbit_legacy and overwrite postbit template with it

Replace the following templates with the contents of the code box below thier names

postbit_attachment

<a href="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;d=$attachment[dateline]"<if condition="$show['newwindow']"> target="_blank"</if>>$attachment[filename]</a>

postbit_attachmentimage

<a href="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;d=$attachment[dateline]" target="_blank">$attachment[filename]</a>

postbit_attachmentmoderated

<if condition="$show['modattachmentlink']">
<a href="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;d=$attachment[dateline]"<if condition="$show['newwindow']"> target="_blank"</if>>$attachment[filename]</a> ($attachment[filesize])<else />$attachment[filename]
</if>

postbit_attachmentthumbnail

<a href="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;d=$attachment[dateline]" target="_blank">$attachment[filename]</a>

Click "Mark as Installed"...

One of these days I will get around to rolling all these small enhancements up into a new version - really....

Hi my friend dartho,

Is there a way to put an icon for the mobile browse and when you save it in favorites in the mobile appers the Site(Forum) with the icon ???, like google, yahoo, etc.

I did this but is not working......

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=131191&page=3

Help!!

[dartho]

That all looks OK.

Looking at MSN etc , they use a 16x16 image. It could be that Windows Mobile will only use if its this size?

[mariocaz]

I don´t know.

Only I see the icon in my IE of my laptop but in the mobile device in my IE I don´t see it.
