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 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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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

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.

Since gold is here - will this theme be updated? Thanks in advance - looking forward, actually...

Any solution to the Mobile Adsense issue?

And we really need some way for users to switch the style back to the default at least - people are getting locked into the mobile style if they select it from the drop down menu

Great style though, thanks!

I have set up a subdomain of my forum, m.myforum.com, using the Different Domain plugin, and given it this style.

I have turned off the 'include domain in URLs' option in vbSEO.

The front page works fine, and all the URLs now stay on the mobile domain. However, once I click on a forum page, all the links are now pointing back to the original domain. I tracked this down to the HTML head section, which includes:
<base href="http://www.myforum.com" />

I looked in the header and headinclude template and this isn't there.... so where does this come from and how do I remove it please?

This seems great except that you can't get out of the style once you choose it.

Yes I just logged on to say this also! I had to uninstall it to solve the problem

Here is some more feedback:

1. If I am viewing a thread with multiple attachments, this style doesn't work great as it lists each attachment in one single line (i.e. it doesn't indent them), which makes the page extremely wide and therefore you have to zoom to view it (I was using Opera mini btw). There is also no gap between the names of each attachment, which makes them even harder to read/distinguish.

2. You cannot see how big an attachment is. It is really important to know this

Hope this helps!

Here's some things I have found. Dartho I hope you don't mind me offering suggestions. If you do, let me know.

1. Style Choosing issue:

I went to the following template: modifyoptions

Before:

<div>
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[save_changes]" accesskey="s" />
<input type="reset" class="button" value="$vbphrase[reset_fields]" accesskey="r" />
</div>

I added the following code:

<if condition="$show['quickchooser']">
<div class="windowbg2">Style Chooser</div>
<span>
<select name="styleid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'style')">
<optgroup label="$vbphrase[quick_style_chooser]">
$quickchooserbits
</optgroup>
</select>
</td>
</if>
</span>
<br />

2. Phrases Missing

I also noticed that in the same template: modifyoptions... The following phrases aren't showing up:

$vbphrase[show_my_reputation_level]
$vbphrase[pm_from_buddies_only]

So if you go to the

• Admin CP->Language and Phrase Manager
• Click add new phrase at the bottom
• In varname put pm_from_buddies_only
• In text put PM's from buddies only
• Add another new phrase
• in varname put show_my_reputation_level
• in text put Show my reputation level

3. Larger Text in Some Areas

I have noticed that on some pages the text is larger than others, but I haven't figure out why. I'll play with it and see if I can find anything.

4. Spaces above and below SocialGroups and MemberINFO

For some reason on my phone there are newlines at the top and bottom of these templates. I don't see it when I use a PC browser. I'll also see if I can offer any advice on that as well.
