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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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

___ It works for me, on 3.8.4 .

[m0rgulvale]

it works, but one problem

how do you change the style back? i am not able to access and set option such as the default skin used from within this template, so forced to stick with this one once changing

also don't think its working right with vbseo.. if u click a members username to view their profile, it says they aren't registered on the forum.. might be something w/ rewriting the urls and not working in this template idk

note: want anyone to be able to choose this skin, and switch back to any other skin.. dont want to use the mod to force mobile users to view this based on user agent string

Try:

http://www.yoursitenamehere.tld/forum_root/?styleid=1

____Assuming you didn't remove the default style, that's the ID number of the default style. That is, the one that came with VBulletin before you install any extra stuff. If you like, and happen to know the style ID of any other styles you may have installed, you can substitute in that number for the "1."

____Can't remember what the different style IDs are? Just go into the ACP, and then under the Styles & Templates section.

____I don't know what to tell you about that, as I don't use VBSEO. Sorry.

____Then don't. It's optional. If you don't install the auto-detection thing, then this style will act like the others. In which case, it would be accessed by a URL similar to the following:

http://www.yoursitenamehere.tld/forum_root/?styleid=X

____Where X is the style ID of the mobile style. It's different for each forum that has it installed, so the only way to get the ID number is to log into your ACP. But after you do, then a link similar to that of what I just typed is what your users can use to access the mobile style in particular.

Just as Mr. W says

You could additionally install https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=182692 which adds a few more options to this style which can be configured via vBulletin Options

That's all my users really care about at the moment (the forums).

I have it from a good source that this mobile style is pretty much operational on VB4!

Well usable with a few issues out of the box, but it is almost all the way there and It shouldn;t take me too long to fix up. This applies to forums only - not CMS/Groups/Albums etc. ...

[sailnet]

where does the css file get uploaded to? (what subdirectory)

thanks

[dartho]

your forum root directory
