Forum Style - Mobile Style for vBulletin 4.0

** 25/08/2010 This style has been superceded by this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=249277

However, you can run them both if you know you have older mobile phones accessing your site as they may be able to render this one better **




This is a port of my mobile style from 3.7/3.8 to 4.0.0.

It is 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.

Currently it only supports forums/thread/posts/PMs. Recent vBulletin features such as Social Groups, Albums, Blogs are not supported (although they should still disaplyin a not-so-mobile-friendly way...)

Further customise this style with Mobile Style Options!

• Supports viewing/posting/replying in forums
• Supports Private Messaging
• Supports Tags (viewing, not adding)
• 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 ....

Version Control
1.0.0 - Initial Relase from 3.7
1.0.1 - Fixed issue with "Friendly URL's" not being compatible
1.0.2 - Updated version numbers to 4.0.99 (should cover all 4.0 releases with the "Out of date templates" messages. Removed Replacement Variables.
1.0.3 - Fixed known template bugs


Install Instructions

1. Save wireless.css.txt to wireless.css and uppload to your forum root
2. Save XML style file and install via AdminCP

Notes

• To change style attributes, you need to edit the CSS file
• Please leave copyright and the link as they are - it links to a very niche forum which is very ulikely to detract from or take members form your own.

As you were.

Thanks m8

Thank God for this.

I know you're busy dartho, but I hope you move the 'Different Domain, Different Style' over to vB4 to go along with this.

I've installed the style, but the forum links, etc. aren't links.

I have vBAdvanced running and the portion of the forum that is generated by it all render as they should, however the forum portion of the page just has unformatted text rather than them being links to subforums, threads, or posts.

This is copied from my PC, but it looks the same on the Mobile Device:

GeneralDiscussionForums - CommunityDiscussion - TheologyDiscussion - CurrentEvents - GoodCleanFun -Memories SpecialInterestForums - Photography - Bookreviews - Moviereviews - Recipes - Sports

A friend looked at it on his device and he says it's the same for him.

Am I missing something? I take it that the problem is related to vBa.

I've tried to solve the issue by putting copies of the css file in both the website root and the forum directories. but no joy.

Thanks in advance for any help here.

What is your web site?

Thanks to dartho for taking a look at the site. The main forum page renders correctly till it comes to the place where the vBulletin forum is inserted by vBAdvanced. At that point the all links are broken because the spaces are removed from the code! "a href=" becomes "ahref=" and spaces in the link names are stripped out.

The vBAdvanced pages work fine in other styles, and this style looks fine on my test forum that doesn't have vBAdvanced.

I don't have a solution and doubt that I will. I thought I'd post what I've learned in case someone else runs into the same problem.

Installed, working great. Thanks!

Is there a way to omit videos?

Thanks.

Hi,

Great job, many many thanks,

Only one annoying thing is tthere, when in thread there is a post form user, who is in your ignore list, the post is very ugly, with huge size font.

[dartho]

It would be, I didn't recode it - I'll look at that in the next release!

Still works great after all this time (4.01 here), thanks dartho.

Now if only I could get the detection and options working at the same time, but I'll reply there once I investigate.
