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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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

[dartho]

Are you doing this via Sytle manager, not Product manager?

[thompson]

i did:

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

but i didn?t see it like this in my iphone 3G
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1206876198

what did i wrong ? (if i click on the style in admincp it seems to work, but not on the iphone)

Found what might be a bug, or at least something that might be worth fixing - captcha support. Not sure if this crops up anywhere else, but if you have the VB options set to verify guest searches, this template doesn't display the necessary captcha image / form. Therefore when you submit it doesn't give you any results, just dumps you back on the search page.

Also - I've opted to remove the tag cloud from the search page. Tag clouds tend to be quite large, and mobile browsers might not (mine doesn't) display the text at different sizes, making them significantly less useful. Might be worth considering.

Read through the posts and didn't see any mention of this.

When going to the User CP > Edit Signature it is showing html tags instead of vbcode in the edit box. Any way to fix this and/or just turn off signature editing?

How are you selecting the style? Youwill need to use this addon for it to occur automatically

Ahh.. captcha. I don't use captcha verification.. I'm suprised this is teh first time I've come across it as an issue. It may be difficult to include *and* keep the style image free. I assume you only have captcha verification for guests, noy registered users? May be able to replace the captcha image with a 'This feature is disabled' type message?

I'll try and look at this during the week.

"I assume you only have captcha verification for guests, noy registered users?"
Yep. I only came across it by accident.

Great style though, many thanks for all the hard work.
