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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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

when you add the image, format thye code:

<img alt="My Website" src="pathto/myimage.jpg" />

otherwise it will get swapped out for a link rather than an image.

If you actually want all images to show up in your mobile style, remove all the replacement variables in the styles options.

No, I just want my main logo to appear at the top. I put that code inside Header, right?

[brettxw]

Awesome. Works. I have a few more questions, I am going to PM you if you don't mind.

Not much point if I can't PM you back!

Clean your inbox out!

I also got my image problem working. Thank you.

Dartho,
When click on New Posts, how do I edit to show the forum the latest posts are coming from? It would be easier to recognize since many of our threads are similar in name but under different forums. Think of several threads of same title HW1 under Class 1 forum, Class 2 forum, etc

[dartho]

You could edit the threadbit template and search and reaplce

<strong>$thread[threadtitle]</strong>

with

<strong>$thread[forumtitle]&raquo;$thread[threadtitle]</strong>

But this will apply to ALL thread bits, not just search results

[Biker_GA]

Dartho, are you planning on updating this and your other mobile style/detection mods to work with vB4? While we're anxiously awaiting the release of vB4 Beta, we've determined that there are two mods that will be show stoppers if they're not available, and yours is one of them.

[Quantnet]

and what is the other

[dartho]

If vBulletin don't add a mobile style of their own (they have hinted that they will on vBulletin.com!), I will attempt to update this enough so that forums work - groups, blogs, albums and other 'social' aspects will be lower down on my list of things to do
