iPhone / iPod Touch Optimized Skin

If you use my style, please click "Mark as Installed" in the Mod Information box -->

I made this Skin based on www.elforro.com colors and it has hardcoded CSS; so you would need to change some CSS values to match your forum style.

Many people ask me to share the style, so I did my best to make it as "default" as I could.

I spent a lot of time working on this skin, so if you decide to use it on your forums, PLEASE leave the "Design by:" legend. (it's only at the bottom)

Demo: http://www.elforro.com/index.php?styleid=15

( or go to www.elforro.com from your iPod / iPhone and click on the legend for the Optimized Skin )

-------
To show a message to all your iPod / iPhone users, you just need to add something like this in your navbar template (in your default style)

PHP Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
    if ((navigator.userAgent.indexOf('iPhone') != -1) || 
    (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('iPod') != -1)) {
        document.write("<a href=\"$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]?<if condition="$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']">$_SERVER[QUERY_STRING]&amp;</if>styleid=[B]XX[/B]\">iPhone Style</a>")
    }
</script> 


(Change XX to your iPhone style number and write whatever you want instead of "iPhone Stlye")
--------


Screenshots: (Below the post)

You have to upload (and change the color/hue maybe) 4 PNG images in images/misc/ folder (included in the ZIP).

Please keep all of my copyright info in this style. Please do NOT redistibute this style on any other sites! (It's free!)

excellent work, though designed for another version of VB (ie, not the latest one), i ignored version warnings and installed anyway. seemed to work fine.

any possible reasons why it would fail later on?

Working on 3.8. Thanks Turboguy!

Heres a question...

Using this skin on an iphone...how can you turn of the images/avatars/sigs so that only the text displays on the iphone, so it cuts down on the data load?

[Bleed0ut]

Your prolly using postbit_legacy is my guess? Either switch to postbit or under only this style copy all of the postbit template and paste it in your postbit_legacy template. This will allow it to only affect this style.

Thanks Bleedout.
Hmm, if i knew what postbit_legacy was i could answer that question! Ha.
I just uploaded the skin and let it go..is there an easy way to chop out the left profile column and make the iphone skin display horizontally like this forum does?

Any ideas what I've done wrong?

We're having a similar problem. None of our sub-forums show up. Any ideas?

1 issue my always paying very good attention (cute) Super Mod found out when she switched to this style, it never timed out like our other styles do, i find it kinda sorta odd this would be set in a style ?

thanks.

I'm not sure I follow you w/ the timeout? What do you mean it doesn't time out?

I don't believe attachments would work, as there's not really a 'file system' that's user accessible on the iPhone to even browse for files. If there were a dedicated iPhone vBulletin app, it might be able to access the photo album to upload pictures, but that would have to be in a app, not a style for the webpage.

Not sure if you fixed this, but it seems to show forums on the homepage when I visit it. I believe some other folks had issues similar to this & it was because of the display order/type settings from the AdminCP for the forums. After looking at the CP quick, I think it revolves around getting the 'Parent Forum' & 'Display Order' set correctly.

The biggest reason it might fail later on is due to template changes or variable name changes in a new release. I don't think there's been any major changes of those types recently, but there's always that chance when a new version comes out.

See my post above regarding setting the 'Parent Forum' & 'Display Order'.

You just copy the postbit template over to the postbit_legacy template. If you need help doing this, send me a PM with your site and temporary Admin and I can go in and do it for you.

I just install this style with darthos mobile detection hack my site works fine with most phones except iPhone where I don't seem to get any forum viewed...

link to my iPhone style http://www.englishsabla.com/forum/index.php?styleid=10

I read that it was something to do with the display order or type of forum i still couldnt figure it out...

any help would be appreciated

[shallow bay]

I set the style as parent, as a child, changed the display order to numerous things, no subforums are showing up for me.
