This is a beta version of vBulletin 3.5 lite.

There will be updates to this, including better error message support and re-written comon templates.

But for now, its fairly basic, but it gets the job done well

Alright, looks like I got the bugged niiped in the butt, I had copied code and not replaced it with the proper varibles when releasing.

Should be all good to go now (uploading in a moment and sending an email)


Other notes for version 0.2
- Fixed small lack of phrase (hard coded english)
- Removed the table from the navbar (the breadcrumb)
- Updated for (not really, just downloaded from) RC1

I'm trying to edit the footer of this template to include the theme chooser, and after clicking 'Save', I get the following error.

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in E:\wwwroot\opiophile.org\includes\adminfunctions_template.php(3519) : eval()'d code on line 2

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

Probably needs to go to vBulletin.com, but how can I restore the theme chooser so those that accidentally pick this theme can escape?

You should place a link to usercp at the top of the main forum page. Otherwise, users will not be able to switch back to normal style. Or I am wrong?

BTW, it seem to work ok on VB 3.5 Final.

...or just add the code back into the footer template, like I had. Works great, btw - great theme!

Bi11i - when you added the code to the footer template, did it work or not? One post says it has a problem, the other post says it's ok.

I'm confused

[Mickie D]

you need to add the allow members to change styles drop down menu to the bottom, and maybe a new post feature when your in the top level of a forum ?

but as said this is an awsome release,

Also does anyone have the code that makes PDA, WAP, etc automaticly use that style i had it before but cant remember where this code was ?

Hi,
I have been testing your Lite style and I like it. A couple of issues I noticed are the following:
1. It is only possible to reply to existing threads, I found no method for starting a new thread.
2. Once someone has started this mode, there is no easy method to return to the normal style. I solved this by adding a link in the footer "Switch off PDA mode"

I also set the Spacer Size (pixels) to 1. 0 is too small and even 5 is too large when displayed on a PDA.

Actaully I find that quite a negative opinion from a member of one of the most dynamic web applications around, things move forward, well generally. Most computers and software has done since they began, so PDA's are not, they are just going to stand still ?

I dont have a use for this style yet but If i could talk my ma round to paying a bit of $$ out for her entertainment and arts local club site instead of being comp ignorant and wanting to spend as little as possible this is likley the style she would want.

I have just upgraded my forum to 3.5.1 and I am now being asked to update a number of templates related to this style.

Is there anything which actually needs to be updated, or can I just save them in the new format and forget about it?

By the way, I think this style is great and works well with my PDA.

Can someone please post a demo link? My users have been waiting for a lite style since 3.5.0 was released...
