Mobile, Cell, Phone, PDA, iPhone Style

vBulletin 4.0 version here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228986

A very cut back style with very low bandwidth usage which renders well on pretty much all small screen devices from old Nokias to new iPhones.

• Supports viewing/posting/replying in forums
• Supports Private Messaging
• Supports Tags (viewing, not adding)
• Supports viewing and replying to messages in Social Groups
• Supports Thread Prefixes
• has an add-on product to customise here: Extend and Customise Mobile Style (It is recommended that you install this also, but not required)
• Supports other stuff too ....

Notes

• If you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found! errors, see Post #329 for more information...
• I suggest you also install this add-on to this style to get more out of it...
• To modify the colour scheme of this style, you have to edit the wireless.css file by hand
• If you use a portal such as vbadvanced which you wish to disable in mobile style, see here

  Both this style and the addon will have the same version numbers - it's best to make sure you update the add-on when updating the style.

Install Instructions

• Save attached XML to your local computer
• Save attached wireless.css.txt, rename to wireless.css and upload to your forum root
• In AdminCP go to "Styles and Templates"
• In the "Import Style XML File" section browse to where you saved the XML
• Click "Import" button
• Come back to this page and click "Mark as Installed"

Other useful Add-ons to use in Conjunction with this style

• Extend and Customise Mobile Style

  This is a companion add-on designed specifically for this style which allows you to customise some aspects of it without the need to edit templates. Only works with version 0.0.8 and above

• Mobile Phone / iPhone / PDA Detection and Style Assignment

  Will automatically detect a mobile device and force the user to use a pre-defined style

• Different Domain, Different Style

  Will force the user to a predefined style based on URL visited (eg. visiting mobile.yourdomain.com will force the user to use a pre-defined mobile style wilst www.yourdomain.com will display your defaultstyle to the user
  

• Limit Posts/Thread per Page for a Specific Style

  Will set the maximum number of posts and threads displayed on a page based on a style. Whilst you may want to display 25 threads per page on a desktop, a small screen/mobile device would probably benefit from only showing 5 - 10 threads per page.
  

• 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.

When you click the spoiler button, nothing happens.

Hey just wondering if you have any plans for this skin in the near future? any updates? because I really enjoy this skin. (not that it really needs any updates, but if you have any it would be exciting to know about ^^ )

[dartho]

haha

I wish I could say there are things on the horizon, but I'd be lying. I did the bulk of this style when my family were away for 6 weeks and I had LOTS of uninterupted time. Any updates will be incremental and likely as I need them on my own site. Good thing for you guys is I like to keep my site reasonably current, so if something breaks with the base, chances are I'll fix it.

vBulletin 4.0 is a scary prospect though - I'm kinda hoping Jelsoft do their own mobile version! 695 installs (and double the number of downloads on the css which would imply that upto twice as many sites have actually installed this) is a pretty good case for them to do something! It'd be nice to have a code base top extend and work from... If everything is gonna be CSS driven, it shouldn't be a big leap for a professional designer to do

Does anybody have an issue with spoilers not loading though when using this?

If you can link me to an example of it not working, I may be able to work out the issue.

hi!

Great job, here - historic proportions

I have been unable to get my 3.8 mobile skin to resolve when I type it in the browser.. After installation, it still is showing my default skin.. I tried different domain (same root) to go to my mobile skin, it doesn't work, either.. Also I tried typing in the url directly ito the browser http://mobileradiostations.com/index.php?styleid=3 and it still only shows my default skin (id:1)..

The only time I do see the mobile skin is when I am into my control panel at the style manager and I click on the word bold "Mobile"; then, this url comes up again in a new browser http://mobileradiostations.com/index.php?styleid=3 but this time only it IS the mobile version (but when I type into the browser http://mobileradiostations.com/index.php?styleid=3 directly, I still only get the default)

I dunno if it just isn't 3.8 compliant or there is additional inside the intranet hacking jobs going on in my life, as usual..

Oh wells (I want to get mobileradiostations.mobi to show the mobile skin, using nice mod different domain, different style - currently, points to same namespace)

hope it all works soon

Thanks




Kind Regards,

Yelo

Since I've upgraded to 3.8 this just hasn't been looking the same.

Sounds like you don't have the style as user selectable - you need to ensure that in Style Manager it has a tick in teh check box next to its name.

I don't have a 3.8 site yet, so haven't done any work on a 3.8 style, although I wouldn;t have thought there would be too much difference ... Got a URL I can look at? (PM is OK)
