Mini Mods - Lightweight Style Options for "Lightweight Style"

Firstly - this is only of use if you have installed the Lightweight Style

Secondly - make sure you read the notes if you use the Mobile Style and the Mobile Style Options addon.

OK, now that the formalities are over, this is an add-on to the Lightweight Style It allows you to customise a few common parts of the style without needing to edit templates.

It also adds in options to disable some products when the Lightweight style is being used and optionally adds "Posted by Mobile Device" type text into posts created using the mobile style.

* Optionally adds links to default style (in footer or header)
* 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 optionally hide mobile style from Style Chooser

Version Control:
1.0.0 - 26 AUG 2010 - Initial Release

Notes:
If you have installed "Mobile Style Options" (vb4) and make use of the 'Posted via Mobile Device' option, uninstalling Mobile Style Options will remove all records of posts made using the Mobile Style. The posts will of course remain, just the message will be gone. If this is not an issue for you - uninstall it BEFORE installing this addon. If you wish to keep those records, rather than uninstall it, disable it OR edit the product via Product Manager and remove all the uninstall code, save and then uninstall (this last option is the cleanest)

Running them both is OK, but you will need to disable the "Add Posted By Mobile Message to Post" plugin on the Mobile Style Options product. Uninstalling one of them will affect the other and cause errors as they share database columns. If you uninstall one without making the uninstall code changes, you shjould uninstall both and then re-install the one you are staying with.

Install this via Product Manager, not Style Manager!

Thanks; great mod! I hope it will one day support blogs and CMS.

edit: nevermind, I edited the uninstall code and now only have the lightweight style options running. Thanks again!

Here is how I fixed the issue with double installation.

With both products installed you only have to work with the old product moboptions40.

Download the old product
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=229044
product-moboptions40-1.0.4

Open the product in an HTML editor and find the uninstall code

<uninstallcode><![CDATA[$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `".TABLE_PREFIX."post` DROP `mobile`");
$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `".TABLE_PREFIX."thread` DROP `mobile`");
$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `".TABLE_PREFIX."post` DROP `ua`");
$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `".TABLE_PREFIX."thread` DROP `ua`");]]></uninstallcode>

Replace the uninstall code with

<uninstallcode></uninstallcode>

Now import the moboptions40 product again allowing over wright. This will install the product without the conflicting un-install code.

Now un-install the old product moboptions40.

The new Lightweight product should now work correctly.

Okay, when I enable the 'posted by mobile device', the pipe character | doesn't line up with the rest of the post box. Is that because I'm running 4.0.4, something I've done, or is it like that for everyone?

[dartho]

Not sure. I think I wrote it pre 4.0.4, although I could be wrong. It's lining up on my test site. Do you have a link I could look at?

If its lining up for you, its likely edits I've done. Just in case...

Thanks Man.. Told ya it was a newb Question.. WORKS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will be sending you a donation your way 4sure.

My only 1 request would be to have an option to show the name of the forum the post is in. I have certain posts that are in Private sections and when i use the NEW POSTS feature it doesnt alert me what section of the forum its in. Other than that.. KILLER MOD!!!

[LuisManson]

is it me or this wont redirect users to the theme if they are coming from a mobile?

[dartho]

No, this addon does not do the mobile detect thing. This one (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=226946) does (and yes, it is compatible with vb4)
