Mobile/Cell Phone Style

A version for 3.7 can be found HERE

A super light style designed for Mobile Phones - use in conjunction with THIS or THIS modification to redirect mobile phone users to this theme.

This is a work in progress, and any and all feedback is greatly appreciated - I will do my best to act on bugs and suggestions.

Check http://mobility.mobi (not my site) from a mobile device to see how it looks or you can visit via an emulator HERE

Whilst this doesn't have ALL functionality of vBulletin default, it does allow browsing forums, replying to posts, creating new topics and sending/receiving PMs.

I'm new at this, be kind.

Version History
1.00 - Initial Release
2.00 - Validates Strict XHTML 1.0 on http://validator.w3.org/
Added PM notification, fixed new reply, new thread, new PM to look better. Can edit posts. Added Logout and also an "Up" menu which will take you to the parent forum of where ever you currently are. Images in posts are replaced with a link to the image - unfortunately this meant I had to do teh same to smilies which all now show up as :-) (which is a link to teh smilie itself). It is now approaching a fully functioning skin - not sure what else you would want to do from a mobile phone/PDA. A few small bugs fixed too.
2.01 - Added viewing thread subscriptions, who's online (both only for logged on members) and quick reply
2.02 - Quick reply for logged on members only
2.03 - fix a w3.org validation issue, added "mark forums read" to forum home
2.04 - Internal release
2.05 - added mark as read to 'new posts' added 'sub' (Subscribed threads) and 'online' (who's online) footer navbar forum name in post title (as link) fixed a few things.
2.06 - Page numbers appear in thread bits
- UserCP page, with access to PMs, Subscribed Threads, Edit Signature, Edit Options (which includes changing view from oldest first to newest first
- Basic MOD options added - can delete posts and threads (and undelete also)
- Remember me added to login in footer (duplicate login screens removed
- I should probably test this latest version more extensively and re validate it, but thought you wouldn;t mind a pre-release

2.07 - Added requests, revalidated STRICT XHTML on w3.org. If you have modified your existing install of this, I suggest you backup the style first before upgrading with this new version just in case you want to roll back.
2.08 - Remove backlink from FORUMHOME
2.09 - updated version numbers on templates to 3.6.9
2.10 - added securitytoken field to all forms

A Spanish translation can be found in post # 200 HERE

Install Instructions
Unzip and upload the wireless.css to your forum root.
Import the XML as a new style WITH NO PARENT.

Upgrade Instructions
Unzip and upload the wireless.css to your forum root (overwriet existing).
Import the XML and merge with existing. Alternatively you could delete the existing mobi style and re-upload fresh.

Keywords: Mobile, Cell, Portal, Mobi, Light, PDA, Phone

Screen Shots - Don;t be put off by the colours, these are all very easily changed by editing the CSS file. If you need help, just ask. I did these from a desktop browser with the window resized to 240px wide - to get a proper idea of the look, use the emulator link mentioned above. It looks MUCH better from an actualy small screen device!



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.

Did I miss how to quote posts in this style?

AFAIK you can't quote posts.

What about pictures, is there a way to see them?

class="inlineimg" />
img src

Hmmm... Is this still true. I don't see any links to images.

[dartho]

Quoting used to be automatic on all replies, at least under 3.5.x it was - it obvioulsy got broke along the way somewhere (possibly always under 3.6x)

The image links should work for inline images (not attached images) and remving those replacement variables *should* put images back in line as opposed to links.

I'm flat out with other things at the moment - sorry about the lack of updates. I'll try and have a quick test of the inline images tonight and look at the quoting too when I get an opportunity.

Consider it also added to the list...

Thanks man, I use a earlier version as I do not like all the highlighting etc and have tweaked it just how I want it, can you put the changes in a txt file or email me the changes to show attachments so that I can just add them to the style that I have when you get to it?

[dartho]

You can turn off or modify all highlighting etc by editing the CSS file.

Don't hold your breath for any changes though, it may take a while

Very Cool skin.
I wish there would be some one who could code, Search Engine Bot Style Aligner.

[dartho]

by this do you mean if the visitor to your forum is a search engine, it applies a specific style?

[flamewar]

I need help with this ..I am so confused.
There are so many links to several downloads.. I just need to know what I have to get and where to put it for my mobile forum.

Please tell me just what I need TY


BTW.. this script/MOD is awsome. I am a mobility member and I am extremely impressed!
