The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

Mobile, Cell, Phone, PDA, iPhone Style · **Released**: 03-27-2008

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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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

I just installed this on a 3.8.2 install, and it seems to be working just fine. In the admin CP, I'm getting a message that says there are 34 templates that need to be updated/reverted, but other than that, it looks a-ok to me.

It is set for showing ads just before the quick reply, but you can change the ad_location in the code to show them after first post by searching and replacing ad_showthread_beforeqr for ad_showthread_firstpost in the plugin code...

Get your mobile adsense PHP code - here's the code Google game me (DO NOT USE THIS - GET YOUR OWN)

PHP Code:


			
<?php



$GLOBALS['google']['ad_type']='text';

$GLOBALS['google']['channel']='0000000000';

$GLOBALS['google']['client']='pub-0000000000000000';

$GLOBALS['google']['host']=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

$GLOBALS['google']['ip']=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$GLOBALS['google']['markup']='xhtml';

$GLOBALS['google']['oe']='utf8';

$GLOBALS['google']['output']='xhtml';

$GLOBALS['google']['ref']=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

$GLOBALS['google']['url']=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

$GLOBALS['google']['useragent']=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

$google_dt = time();

google_set_screen_res();



function google_append_url(&$url, $param, $value) {

  $url .= '&' . $param . '=' . urlencode($value);

}



function google_append_globals(&$url, $param) {

  google_append_url($url, $param, $GLOBALS['google'][$param]);

}



function google_append_color(&$url, $param) {

  global $google_dt;

  $color_array = split(',', $GLOBALS['google'][$param]);

  google_append_url($url, $param,

                    $color_array[$google_dt % sizeof($color_array)]);

}



function google_set_screen_res() {

  $screen_res = $_SERVER['HTTP_UA_PIXELS'];

  $delimiter = 'x';

  if ($screen_res == '') {

    $screen_res = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_UP_DEVCAP_SCREENPIXELS'];

    $delimiter = ',';

  }

  $res_array = explode($delimiter, $screen_res);

  if (sizeof($res_array) == 2) {

    $GLOBALS['google']['u_w'] = $res_array[0];

    $GLOBALS['google']['u_h'] = $res_array[1];

  }

}



function google_get_ad_url() {

  $google_ad_url = 'http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/ads?';

  $google_scheme = ($GLOBALS['google']['https'] == 'on')

      ? 'https://' : 'http://';

  foreach ($GLOBALS['google'] as $param => $value) {

    if ($param == 'client') {

      google_append_url($google_ad_url, $param,

                        'ca-mb-' . $GLOBALS['google'][$param]);

    } else if (strpos($param, 'color_') === 0) {

      google_append_color($google_ad_url, $param);

    } else if ((strpos($param, 'host') === 0)

               || (strpos($param, 'url') === 0)) {

      google_append_url($google_ad_url, $param,

                        $google_scheme . $GLOBALS['google'][$param]);

    } else {

      google_append_globals($google_ad_url, $param);

    }

  }

  google_append_url($google_ad_url, 'dt',

               round(1000 * array_sum(explode(' ', microtime()))));

  return $google_ad_url;

}



$google_ad_handle = @fopen(google_get_ad_url(), 'r');

if ($google_ad_handle) {

  while (!feof($google_ad_handle)) {

    echo fread($google_ad_handle, 8192);

  }

  fclose($google_ad_handle);

}



?>

I had to move al the functions to the top of the code block for it to work in a plug in I created a called "Google Adsense Mobile" on the showthread_start hook. Here is the working plugin code:

PHP Code:


			
if ($styleid == xx) {

function google_append_url(&$url, $param, $value) {

  $url .= '&' . $param . '=' . urlencode($value);

}



function google_append_globals(&$url, $param) {

  google_append_url($url, $param, $GLOBALS['google'][$param]);

}



function google_append_color(&$url, $param) {

  global $google_dt;

  $color_array = split(',', $GLOBALS['google'][$param]);

  google_append_url($url, $param,

                    $color_array[$google_dt % sizeof($color_array)]);

}



function google_set_screen_res() {

  $screen_res = $_SERVER['HTTP_UA_PIXELS'];

  $delimiter = 'x';

  if ($screen_res == '') {

    $screen_res = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_UP_DEVCAP_SCREENPIXELS'];

    $delimiter = ',';

  }

  $res_array = explode($delimiter, $screen_res);

  if (sizeof($res_array) == 2) {

    $GLOBALS['google']['u_w'] = $res_array[0];

    $GLOBALS['google']['u_h'] = $res_array[1];

  }

}



function google_get_ad_url() {

  $google_ad_url = 'http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/ads?';

  $google_scheme = ($GLOBALS['google']['https'] == 'on')

      ? 'https://' : 'http://';

  foreach ($GLOBALS['google'] as $param => $value) {

    if ($param == 'client') {

      google_append_url($google_ad_url, $param,

                        'ca-mb-' . $GLOBALS['google'][$param]);

    } else if (strpos($param, 'color_') === 0) {

      google_append_color($google_ad_url, $param);

    } else if ((strpos($param, 'host') === 0)

               || (strpos($param, 'url') === 0)) {

      google_append_url($google_ad_url, $param,

                        $google_scheme . $GLOBALS['google'][$param]);

    } else {

      google_append_globals($google_ad_url, $param);

    }

  }

  google_append_url($google_ad_url, 'dt',

               round(1000 * array_sum(explode(' ', microtime()))));

  return $google_ad_url;

}



$GLOBALS['google']['ad_type']='text';

$GLOBALS['google']['channel']='0000000000';

$GLOBALS['google']['client']='pub-0000000000000000';

$GLOBALS['google']['format']='mobile_single';

$GLOBALS['google']['https']=$_SERVER['HTTPS'];

$GLOBALS['google']['host']=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

$GLOBALS['google']['ip']=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$GLOBALS['google']['markup']='xhtml';

$GLOBALS['google']['oe']='utf8';

$GLOBALS['google']['output']='xhtml';

$GLOBALS['google']['ref']=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

$GLOBALS['google']['url']=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

$GLOBALS['google']['useragent']=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

$google_dt = time();

google_set_screen_res();



$find='"';

$replace="'";

$googlemad = '';



$google_ad_handle = @fopen(google_get_ad_url(), 'r');

if ($google_ad_handle) {

  while (!feof($google_ad_handle)) {

    $googlemad .= fread($google_ad_handle, 8192);

  }

  fclose($google_ad_handle);

}

$vbulletin->templatecache['ad_showthread_beforeqr'] = str_replace($find,$replace,$googlemad);



}

You'll see I wrapped the google code in a conditional if ($styleid == xx) { ... } where xx is the styleid of my mobile style - you will need to change this and removed the opening and closing php tags.

The other changes (after moving the functions to the top) were:
1. replace

PHP Code:


			
$google_dt = time();

google_set_screen_res();

with

PHP Code:


			
$google_dt = time();

google_set_screen_res();



$find='"';

$replace="'";

$googlemad = '';

2. replace

PHP Code:


			
    echo fread($google_ad_handle, 8192);

  }

  fclose($google_ad_handle);

}

with

PHP Code:


			
    $googlemad .= fread($google_ad_handle, 8192);

  }

  fclose($google_ad_handle);

}



$vbulletin->templatecache['ad_showthread_beforeqr'] = str_replace($find,$replace,$googlemad);

That's about it. You could modify and or duplicate this to work with other ad_locations. Current defined ad_locations in vBulletin 3.7 (and this style) and the likely best hook location for these ads are (i'm not so sure about the ones in blue - they should work there, but there may be a more efficient place to put them. Feedback welcomed!):

ad_footer_start - global_start
ad_footer_end - global_start
ad_forumdisplay_afterthreads - forum_display_start
ad_forumhome_afterforums - forum_home_start
ad_header_end - global_start
ad_header_logo - global_start
ad_navbar_below - global_start
ad_showthread_beforeqr - showthread_start
ad_showthread_firstpost - showthread_start

Hope this helps!

that seems like so much work. can't we just copy the ad code somewhere in the template?

installed, works a treat on 3.8.2. For my peace of mind though, I might make the font a touch bigger

Very flipping sweet.

How do I add a link on the line that says "Home New Posts User CP"

dartho · #**557** 06-13-2009, 02:49 PM

edit the navbar template

1viking · #**558** 06-17-2009, 11:51 AM

Anybody having problems getting this to work with people that have their default setting set to hybrid or threaded? The latest post is the only one to show up.

Easiest solution would probably be to write a plugin to disable threaded/hybrid mode when using this style.

dartho · #**560** 06-17-2009, 09:12 PM

@1viking - I didn't consider threaded/hybrid mode when writing this, so I'm not suprised that there may be issues in these modes. I'll look into it when time permits

edytwinky · #**561** 06-20-2009, 08:07 PM

Installed and works on 3.8.3

Any plans to release a version that is compatible with vb Blogs?
