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.

There are 2 ways to add that message. One where the info gets logged in the DB and shown in the post footer on the left hand side, and the other when the message gets appended to the post itself. By default, the first option is what it uses. To enable the second, you need to make active the 2 inactive plugins for this product in the plugin manager.

If I could have admin access for a site where the 1st option isn't working, I might be able to work out why.

[Mr Peabody]

is there any way to disable the vbadvanced CMS and make it go straight to the forum main page?

[dartho]

edit the adv_portal template and put a link and/or a redirect to the forum

Might be a simple question but I've not seen it asked so here goes ...

Is it possible at all to have the reply box scroll as a member is typing a reply? This was possibly the only criticism our members had on the old mobile style, that once they reached the bottom of the box they could keep typing a message but couldn't see what they were typing.

[dartho]

scrolls down happily in my testing? I don't think there are any tags to control that behaviour - perhaps outdated browsers on users devices, or a device specific issue?

[nike.stars]

just want to let you know that this feature isn't working:

* Optionally add 'Posted Via Mobile' message to new posts/threads (message can be customised)

[dartho]

Hi dartho, I seem to have a bit of a major problem. I installed the Lightweight style, which was all fine, and then tried to install the Lightweight style options product, and it seemed to hang during the install. In the product manager, the product didn't seem to install, but then I then went to the front page of my forums and got this: http://forums.relicnews.com.

I deleted the lightweight style, but it still remains. This happens using the vBulletin default style and my custom style. I had no previous mobile styles installed.

Please help!
