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.

Becasue this doesn't change styles. Try this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=249967 or vBulletin's one in 4.1.2

Hi Dartho. Thank you for the mobile skin style. It's working excellent for me. My users are complaining that they cannot change back to the desktop styles so I tried to download and install these options. I downloaded "product-lsoptions.xml" but I am not sure what to DO with that file. I uploaded it with the style manager, creating a new style but that was fruitless. Can you point me in the right direction please?

Thanks again.

[dartho]

you should read the post immediately before yours..

Just a note the disable whats going on doesnt work.

Does this need to be uninstalled before or after uninstalling the lightweight style?

[dartho]

it should make no difference

[charlesr]

Thanks for the swift response. The reason I ask is that I uninstalled the style but now when trying to uninstall the options plugin 1.0.0 (in 4.1.3) I get:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE `post` DROP `mobile`;

MySQL Error : Can't DROP 'mobile'; check that column/key exists
Error Number : 1091

So I was wondering how best to proceed.

Note: I have installed the official vbulletin mobile - unsure if that makes any difference, but thought I'd mention it.

[dartho]

Chances are when you installed (or when you first attemnpted to uninstall) this you had a timeout or errors which caused the tables to not be created, and now when trying to drop teh tables it can't as they aren't there.

What you can do is go into the product manager and edit this product and delete teh contents of teh Uninstall Code. Then when you uninstall it will remove everything except the database columns which aren't actually there anyway.

[charlesr]

Great. All sorted. Much appreciated.
