About Developer · **Released**: 08-24-2010

A lightweight *forum only style aimed at small screen devices such as Windows Smartphones, Nokias and even iPhones. It has VERY low bandwidth requirements - 15 times less on my site - 20K as opposed to 300K for forumhome.

*forum only - I have done a very small amount of rough work on CMS templates, a simple single column CMS *could* be created to work with this style without too much effort. However I am not sure if you can have a different CMS layout dependent on which style you are using?

This is an update to the mobile style I have previously released.

The changes are predominantly aesthetic to take advantage of larger screens.

It is also much easier to change colour schemes by editing the commented CSS file.

Demo: http://vbdev.org/forum.php?styleid=7

This is a a lightweight style and as such has much reduced functionality/information over the default vBulletin style.

Install instructions:

Firstly, if upgrading, I recommend installing this as a new style rather than overwriting your previous install. This way you get to test it first without trashing your existing style.
BACKUP YOUR EXISTING lightweight.css.php FILE IF YOU HAVE CSS CUSTOMISATIONS
Download ZIP file
Unzip to a local/temp directory
Edit lightweight.css.php file to customise colours if required
Upload contents of the upload directory in the zip file folder to your forum root.
Install style XML via Style Manager in your ADMINCP
**Install and configure "LightWeight Style Options"
See post 2 for a FAQ
Click "Mark as Installed"

Version Control:

1.0.0 - 25 AUG 2010 - Initial Release on vBulletin.org
1.0.1 - 26 AUG 2010 - Fixed "Mark All Forums Read" link in Search results. Released Lightweight Style Options to customise this
1.0.2 - 21 MAR 2011 - Updated to 4.1.2, removed short tags from CSS, fixed some issues discovered since last release, added some stuff.
1.0.3 - 16 DEC 2011 - Updated to 1.0.3, tried to fix all known issues. Nothing new. If you have updated your site as bugs have been found, probably no need to upgrade. But if you're upgrading your site from to 4.1.9, might be worthwhile.
1.0.3a - 16 DEC 2011 - remove test ad hook code accidently left in postbit_legacy template

Branding Free:

The style is free to use. However I ask that you keep links in the footer. If you want to remove them - send me a donation of an amount you can afford, or that you think is fair/reasonable, it's up to you how much.

I am using both of your mobile plugins too not sure if I set something wrong...

Not sure I understand. If I head to your site, I get the CMS - then if I click Forums, I get forums. Forums are all looking as they should.

Try editing teh vbcms_page template in teh Lightweight style and replace it's contents with:

Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"<vb:if condition="$vboptions['enablefacebookconnect']"> xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"</vb:if> dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}">
<head>
    {vb:raw headinclude}

    <title><vb:if condition="$vboptions['cmstitle']">{vb:raw vboptions.cmstitle}<vb:else />{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</vb:if> - {vb:raw html_title}</title>

    {vb:raw headinclude_bottom}
</head>

<body style="text-align:{vb:stylevar left}">

{vb:raw header}
{vb:raw navbar}
{vb:raw toolbar}
<div class="vbcms_content">
Home page unavailable in mobile view, click <a href="forum.php">HERE</a> to view forums.
</div>
{vb:raw footer}
</body>
</html>

Hey there - firstly, fantastic style - I love it! Have it working with both the options addon and the mobile detect addon. Only one thing, the new posts box seems to sit out to the right a little on iOS 4.1 and Safari (my only test mobile platform) rather than remaining flush with the rest of the page, and also it appears at the bottom on every single forum page. Is this normal?

ximcix · #86 09-17-2010, 08:59 AM

I uploaded the images folder & lightweight.css.php to my forums root, but get a barebones style (no logo image, no colors) what Am i doing wrong?

Yes I installed & configured the product as well.

dartho · #87 09-17-2010, 10:07 AM

@Devoran - Are you able to give me a screen shot? I use safari under windows and an iphone emulator - both seem to be showing OK.

@ximcix - can you send me a link? Generally means (OK - always means) you've uploaded to an incorrect place, or the incorrect folder.

dartho · #89 09-17-2010, 10:19 PM

Thanks ximcix, I see the issue now.

Have a look in at the FAQ in post #2 https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...87#post2089187 and use the 'longtag' CSS you can download from there!

ximcix · #90 09-17-2010, 11:05 PM
