Lightweight Style Options for "Lightweight Style" · **Released**: 08-25-2010

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.

Sorry, how can I avoid the HOME navigation when I use this lightweight style?

Thank you Dartho!

I used the code you suggested to another user in a previous post and now all is working fine.

{vb:raw navbar}
<div><a href="forum.php">CMS Disabled in Mobile View, please click here to proceed to forum</a>
</div>
{vb:raw footer}
</div>
</body>
</html>

I have now only an issue to fix: can I automatically redirect the users to the forum?

You could put this in the head section of that template code:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://yourdomain.com/forum"/>

I use a vb4 suite< 4.07> can i use the lightweight style and this add on product with it without any problem because i read this is only for vb4 forums

will the mobile version have the HOME and Forum and BLOG tab separately or the Home on the moble skin denotes the forum page ?

appreciate the hard work and like the product

dartho · #79 12-16-2010, 08:32 AM

it means that CMS and BLOG will not render well under this style - they'll basically look pretty crappy, but the forums will look as in the screen shots. There are no links to the BLOG or CMS. Check the vbdev.org test site and you'll get an idea what I mean ...

Hi
When I installed this on my forum it will hang my server. I have a huge database. COuld this be the problem?
My load average go beyond 100.0

thanks

dartho · #81 12-31-2010, 09:58 PM

part of teh install process is adding 2 new columns to the post and thread tables. This is probably where it is getting caught up if you have a huge database.

You could manually add these (name MOBILE, type BOOL and name UA, type VARCHAR(100)) and edit the XML and remove the contents of the <installcode> and <uninstallcode> blocks
