Mini Mods - Lightweight Style Options for "Lightweight Style"

Firstly - this is only of use if you have installed the Lightweight Style

Secondly - make sure you read the notes if you use the Mobile Style and the Mobile Style Options addon.

OK, now that the formalities are over, this is an add-on to the Lightweight Style It allows you to customise a few common parts of the style without needing to edit templates.

It also adds in options to disable some products when the Lightweight style is being used and optionally adds "Posted by Mobile Device" type text into posts created using the mobile style.

* Optionally adds links to default style (in footer or header)
* Optionally add 'Posted Via Mobile' message to new posts/threads (message can be customised)
* Optionally display "What's Going On" box in forum home
* Optionally display Style Chooser in footer
* Set 'Home' link URL (rather than editing templates)
* Can optionally hide mobile style from Style Chooser

Version Control:
1.0.0 - 26 AUG 2010 - Initial Release

Notes:
If you have installed "Mobile Style Options" (vb4) and make use of the 'Posted via Mobile Device' option, uninstalling Mobile Style Options will remove all records of posts made using the Mobile Style. The posts will of course remain, just the message will be gone. If this is not an issue for you - uninstall it BEFORE installing this addon. If you wish to keep those records, rather than uninstall it, disable it OR edit the product via Product Manager and remove all the uninstall code, save and then uninstall (this last option is the cleanest)

Running them both is OK, but you will need to disable the "Add Posted By Mobile Message to Post" plugin on the Mobile Style Options product. Uninstalling one of them will affect the other and cause errors as they share database columns. If you uninstall one without making the uninstall code changes, you shjould uninstall both and then re-install the one you are staying with.

You would need to edit the Add Posted By Mobile Message to Post plugin and change the hook location used to one of the others available.

The line you want to change in that plugin is:
$template_hook['postbit_controls'] .= $templater->render();

Change the bit in red. A quick check of the postbit template shows other hooks available listed below. None of them look like they'd do exactly what you want, but give it a go:

postbit_userinfo_left
postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts
postbit_userinfo_right
postbit_messagearea_start
postbit_signature_start
postbit_signature_end
postbit_controls
postbit_end



You could also edit the posted_by_mobile_device template to make changes to what is displayed.

There is hardly anything in the posted by mobile device template ... nothing seems to change the location of it

Actually it was the hack, it would display incorrectly even with the stock style....here is the fix which was found by the designer of the custom skin I'm running:


1) open template postbit
find
HTML Code:

{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_controls}

and move it under

<span class="postcontrols">

2) Do the same for postbit_legacy

A big thanks to Alexander from www.webandart.gr !

that wouldn't be the hack, that would be the default vBulletin style which puts it there.

[lighthazard]

I noticed that the lightweight skin doesn't really support the CMS (Like you said)


If I can make a suggestion and make it an option in the add-on to automatically redirect mobile devices from the cms to the forum? That way, it would go straight to the style.

Just a suggestion
