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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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

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.

I would hazard a guess that you either do not have your site configured to allow users to select change styles (AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Style and Language Settings->Allow Users To Change Styles), and/or you have not marked teh additional styles as user selectable (AdminCP->Styles & Templates->Style Manager and "tick" the boxes of teh styles you wish to allow users to access)

Thank you dartho! After I changed the "Allow Users To Change Styles" from No to Yes it works. :-)

One thing I would like to see on this setup is the link to the admin panel in both user profile and at bottom of page. This would help when I need to ban a retard and I'm not near a computer. I really do like the layout though, it's such a help to have a nice clean mobile layout, the color coding for stickies and such is a really nice add as well.

My users have been sending me PMs left and right about how they like it.

Props to the coder/designer. Thanks for taking the time to do this and making it so clean and simple.

The save button won't appear when I try to edit a post with this skin on my blackberry. why won't it work?

[Bulent Tekcan]

Hello,

I installed this style,but I have a problem.

I have a 5 style but only 2 used and active.In Firefox I saw only 2 style (is it correct) but in IE8 with Windows7 I saw every style.But I don't use other 3 how can I hide this.I think this is not compatible IE8 and Win7

Thanks

[dartho]

That sounds more like a vBulletin issue?

This is just a style, it is vBulletin php routines/files that build the "Style Chooser", not this style. Perhaps investigate more and lodge a bug report?

____ I am uncertain. Earlier I've asked the very same question, and the designer doesn't know. He said that he didn't have access to a Blackberry to figure this out. I also use a Blackberry, and the work-around I've found is to use Opera Mini. While that browser doesn't work perfectly, everything in this style will show up as it should. The only real downside is the way text is entered using Opera Mini, but once you get used to it, it's not so bad. You should give it a try.

I don't seem to have this problem....

Try this (just a hunch)

Edit the editpost template for this style, find

$messagearea
</div>
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

replace with

$messagearea
</div>
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

Then find

<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" value="$vbphrase[save]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
</div>
</form>

replace with

<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" value="$vbphrase[save]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
</form>

and let me know what happens. If it unlkely makes thinks worse, just revert that template.

____ Great news. This change seems to permit the edit function to work using the standard browser that comes on every Blackberry. Better yet, it still works within Opera Mini.

____ Now will this still work in Pocket IE or Mobile Firefox? That I don't know because I don't have a Windows Mobile device that I can use. I will just have to rely on someone else to tell me.
