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.

[diola]

just a thing, when people post from a mobile device (that`s already been detected and using mobile style), this user signature do not apears, even when you see the post in a computer. Can it be fixed?

[dartho]

I had left this out to conserve screen space, but you can add in signatures by editing your postbit (and postbit_legacy) templates, searching for

<if condition="$post['editlink']"><a href="$post[editlink]">[Ed]</a></if>

and replace with

		<if condition="$post['signature']">
		<!-- sig -->
			<div>
				__________________<br />
				$post[signature]
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		</if>

<if condition="$post['editlink']"><a href="$post[editlink]">[Ed]</a></if>

Edit your "newreply" and "newthread" templates for this style and replace:

<textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="15" style="width:100%; height:100px"></textarea>

with:

<textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="15" style="width:100%; height:100px">

Posted via Mobile Device</textarea>

I tried the above and had no luck with it. I would like it to just show the Posted via mobile device only for users that make a post with this style. Also the images are not showin gup inline. The ones that have been attached via vbulletin. Post that have links to off site images show up fine.

Great job on this working great on vb 3.7 beta 6 and with vBSEO

G'day Mac, a 3.7 version of this can be found here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=174375 with a new colour scheme too.

Images were designed not to show up inline, but you should get a link to them instead. There is info on how to put images back inline in this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ne#post1334072

Is this version compatible with 3.6.9

[dartho]

Should work fine on 3.6.9

[tekguru]

But with a lot of the templates saying they are not compatible, it needs a double check and an update IMHO.

[dutchbb]

And how do we change style back to normal? There isn't a menu on forumhome , also can't find it in options...

[RaceJunkie]

I want to import a style without having other templates added to it such as the Gallery, vbAdvanced, templates. Is it possible to do this? Just add the style and it only has the templates it needs to run properly.
