Add-On Releases - Extend and Customise "Mobile" Style Options

This is an add-on for (and thus requires) the Mobile, Cell, Phone, PDA, iPhone Style.

It adds options to your vBulletin Options for customizing:

• Optionally adds links to default style (in footer or navbar)
• Optionally add 'Posted Via Mobile' message to new posts/threads (message can be customised)
• Optionally display "What's Going On" box in forum home
• Optionally display Style Chooser in footer
• Set 'Home' link URL (rather than editing templates)
• Can hide mobile style from Style Chooser
• More as suggested ....

Install the latest Mobile style (should have same version number as this addon, but may have a different alpha char on end of version number)

Install this add-on and set your options

There in lays the pitfalls of addins that perform automatic template edits. It may not be hooks doing them, it could be appending data to a template which can not be controlled by this style. What you will need to do is modify the plugin that is doing the template edit and wrap it in conditionals so it doesn;t perform the edits for the mobile style.

If it's an add-on here at vb.org. point me towards it and I'll try and let you know what you need to do...

Not marking installed because does not work

I seem to be getting a lot of page timeouts when accessing the mobile style. :dunno:

Is there a way to use this with a mobile style I've already developed?

Thanks!

I spotted your request over here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...95#post1501495, then visited you site, and thought you were dead so didn't reply

You're looking just for the "Posted via Mobile" portion? I can wrap this up as a standalone plugin if you like. Actually, I think you could probably use this as is to add that functionality. Other options such as Home link, Style title, What's going on won't work, but the 'Posted via Mobile' type footers should work with any style.


The next release of this will allow a generic message such as
"Posted via Mobile" or simply adding the UserAgent string to the footer of the post.

how can i add a second style to the options?

to the posted via mobile device / iphone

cause i have a second skin only for iphone/ipod.....

Thanks

Most of the options would not be compatible with other styles as my Mobile style is coded with this in mind. Which aspects did you wish to apply to your other mobile style?

Edit: Sorry - I jest re-read your post. You could do this by manually editing 2 plugins newreply_post_start and newthread_post_start

Change the code from

if (($styleid==$vbulletin->options['mo37_mobile_style']) && ($vbulletin->options['mo37_post_text'] != '')){
$vbulletin->GPC['message'] = $vbulletin->GPC['message'] . "\n".$vbulletin->options['mo37_post_text']."\n";
}

to

if (($styleid==$vbulletin->options['mo37_mobile_style']) && ($vbulletin->options['mo37_post_text'] != '')){
$vbulletin->GPC['message'] = $vbulletin->GPC['message'] . "\n".$vbulletin->options['mo37_post_text']."\n";
}
if ($styleid==XX) {
$vbulletin->GPC['message'] = $vbulletin->GPC['message'] . "\n". "Posted via iPhone" ."\n";
}

Change the XX to be the style ID of your iPhone style and "Posted via iPhone" to what ever message you want, or $vbulletin->options['mo37_post_text'] if you want the same message applied as from other mobile devices

*** UPDATED with many suggestions. Be sure to update tehj mobile style also if installing a newer version of this. Both the style and this add-on have the same version numbers as of 0.0.10.

Thanks i did it.

but i wanted the UA too so here's what i did for those who'll be asking in the future

if (($styleid==$vbulletin->options['mo37_mobile_style']) && ($vbulletin->options['mo37_post_text'] != '')){
if ($vbulletin->options['mo37_post_text']=="UA") $vbulletin->options['mo37_post_text'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$vbulletin->GPC['message'] = $vbulletin->GPC['message'] . "\n". "____________________

Wirelessly Posted (" . $vbulletin->options['mo37_post_text']. ")

" . "\n";
}
if (($styleid==152) && ($vbulletin->options['mo37_post_text'] != '')){
if ($vbulletin->options['mo37_post_text']=="UA") $vbulletin->options['mo37_post_text'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$vbulletin->GPC['message'] = $vbulletin->GPC['message'] . "\n". "____________________

Wirelessly Posted (" . $vbulletin->options['mo37_post_text']. ")

" . "\n";
}

Thanks for this perfect mod!!
