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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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

Ok, I came across another issue. LOL I just realized that there is no "Post" link... It is possibly to reply to a thread, but not possible to make a new post. What am I missing?

Sorry for all the questions!

If that causes the alt tag to show up, then you need to check your image path because it is wrong.

If you go into the forum, it should say "Threads: (New?)" near the top. Click on New? to start a new thread.

Hi Lynne, yeah, I'm dumb, found the "Threads: (New?)".... However I'm positive my image path is correct, and only the alt shows up. Any advice is appreciated. I'll assume that javascript tags aren't possible since nobody has confirmed it is possible.

Check your page source and see what is going on there.

It doesn't work for 3.8?

[Biker_GA]

Works perfectly with 3.8.2.

I am still getting a popup window that says Authentication Required every time. My forum is here. http://www.bluegoldnation.com/forums Just change the style to the correct one at the bottom to see what I am talking about.

I would appreciate any help. Is it a folder permission issue?

[dartho]

HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

I would hazard a guess that the wireless.css file is either not in your forum root, or is for some reason password protected? GIven its running under IIS - could be security attributes?

Okay, I tested it on my board, and then I tried selecting it from my laptop, to see what it looked like, and I could see, very simple, but now how do I go back to the style that I used before, the 'default' style I have set for my forum? In the regular style, I have the select forum style drop down menu in the lower left corner of the screen, but it's gone from the mobile one, so I seem to be stuck in mobile! It there an easy way to put a lin or something down in that lower left corner that would say 'revert back to forum default' and it would take you back to the normal view?

Either add "&styleid=x" onto the end of your url to get back to styleid x or install this - Extend and Customise Mobile Style and put the link to the default style on the bottom of the page.
