This is a beta version of vBulletin 3.5 lite.

There will be updates to this, including better error message support and re-written comon templates.

But for now, its fairly basic, but it gets the job done well

Alright, looks like I got the bugged niiped in the butt, I had copied code and not replaced it with the proper varibles when releasing.

Should be all good to go now (uploading in a moment and sending an email)


Other notes for version 0.2
- Fixed small lack of phrase (hard coded english)
- Removed the table from the navbar (the breadcrumb)
- Updated for (not really, just downloaded from) RC1

This is not my work - I asked sometime back and someone posted this. It works under 3.5.4 for me from my PDA.

To make your mobile style automagically selected when a mobile device is detected edit your global.php, search for :

// #############################################################################
// if user can control panel, allow selection of any style (for testing purposes)
// otherwise only allow styles that are user-selectable

and add the following immediately above it:

// BROWSER DETECT
  
  $browsers = array(
      "Windows CE",
      "WebTV",
      "AvantGo",
      "Blazer",
      "PalmOS",
      "lynx",
      "Go.Web",
      "Elaine",
      "ProxiNet",
      "ChaiFarer",
      "Digital Paths",
      "UP.Browser",
      "Mazingo",
      "Mobile",
      "T68",
      "Syncalot",
      "NetFront",
      "Danger",
      "Symbian",
      "Nokia",
      "Xiino",
      "AU-MIC",
      "EPOC",
      "BlackBerry",
      "Wireless",
      "Handheld"
      );
  
  if(preg_match('/('.implode('|', $browsers).')/i', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], $match))
  {
      $mobile=1;
  }
  else if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_UA_OS']))
  {
      if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_UA_OS'],"POCKET PC") !== false)
      {
          $mobile=1;
      }
  }
  else
  {
      $mobile=0;
  }
  
  if ($mobile==1)
  {
      //echo "You are on a mobile device!";
      $styleid='9';
  }  
// END BROWSER DETECT

Change the 3rd last line " $styleid='9'; " to the style number of your mobile/pda Style. You can add user agent strings of other browsers to the list.

**NOTE - YOU CAN NOT OVERRIDE THIS, IF YOU ARE ON A MOBILE DEVICE THIS WILL BE THE ONLY STYLE YOU CAN USE

ON another note, if you need to get to otherwise unavailable screens when in your mobile style - just manually enter in the URL you want to go to...

darth mind if I adapt this and make it a product to do this?

Lil status update I've been working on the style somewhat trying to get the new thread interface working right.

[dartho]

Be my guest. I've searched for where I got the info form in the first place, but to no avail as yet...

I have been using a modified version of "Alabama" style (which in itself is a modified version of the "Archive" or PDA style) for a while to work with PDAs. This was under 3.0.9, I only ugraded to 3.5.4 yesterday, so am using this style for the moment till I can redo my mobile style for 3.5.4. I'm not a coder, so it's very much a trial and error thing for me.

I'm looking forward to any further mods you make to it. I have a few regular PDA users (320x240 resolution) including myself and would be happy to test for you.

[Zachery]

I've got a cell coming in a few days and I'll be getting a DS lite in the near future (release day hopefully). Both which should help speed things up.

Hi, has there been any update for this style?

I would like to have it on my forum, but with no way for the user to go back to a normal style. I really can't use it yet.

[dartho]

it shouldn't too hard to have a link which goes to the default style. worst case is have a post with a link to your forum home using default style:


www.website.name/forum/index.php?styleid=xxx

where xxx is the styleid number of your default style...

Has this been done yet?

This looks great Zachery! I just want to wait to install it until it is fully developed.

[Zachery]

Not yet, the cost to develop on my phone would be atad much.

Instead of forcing the styleid, would it be possible to display a different page to a mobile browser? Something like "you have a mobile browser! would you like to see a mobile formatted version or a regular formatted version of the site?" then give them the option to choose which version to use.

[dartho]

probably, but I'm not sure how to do this...

Anyone? Bueller?
