Mobile, Cell, Phone, PDA, iPhone Style

vBulletin 4.0 version here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228986

A very cut back style with very low bandwidth usage which renders well on pretty much all small screen devices from old Nokias to new iPhones.

• Supports viewing and replying to messages in Social Groups
• Supports Thread Prefixes

• Supports other stuff too ....

Notes

• If you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found! errors, see Post #329 for more information...
• I suggest you also install this add-on to this style to get more out of it...
• To modify the colour scheme of this style, you have to edit the wireless.css file by hand
• If you use a portal such as vbadvanced which you wish to disable in mobile style, see here

Install Instructions

• Save attached XML to your local computer
• Save attached wireless.css.txt, rename to wireless.css and upload to your forum root
• In AdminCP go to "Styles and Templates"
• In the "Import Style XML File" section browse to where you saved the XML
• Click "Import" button
• Come back to this page and click "Mark as Installed"

Other useful Add-ons to use in Conjunction with this style

• Extend and Customise Mobile Style

  This is a companion add-on designed specifically for this style which allows you to customise some aspects of it without the need to edit templates. Only works with version 0.0.8 and above

• Mobile Phone / iPhone / PDA Detection and Style Assignment

  Will automatically detect a mobile device and force the user to use a pre-defined style

• Different Domain, Different Style

  Will force the user to a predefined style based on URL visited (eg. visiting mobile.yourdomain.com will force the user to use a pre-defined mobile style wilst www.yourdomain.com will display your defaultstyle to the user
  

• Limit Posts/Thread per Page for a Specific Style

  Will set the maximum number of posts and threads displayed on a page based on a style. Whilst you may want to display 25 threads per page on a desktop, a small screen/mobile device would probably benefit from only showing 5 - 10 threads per page.
  

• 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.

[nike.stars]

for those interested, i made lite edition of "what's going on?" box for this theme, you can place this code at FORUMHOME template before the $footer

<!-- what's going on box -->
<div class="titlebg">$vbphrase[whats_going_on]</div>

<if condition="$show['loggedinusers']">

<!-- logged-in users -->
<div class="navbar"><a href="online.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[currently_active_users]</a>:</div>
<div class="oldwindowbg">$activeusers</div>
<!-- end logged-in users -->

</if>
<div class="navbar"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_statistics]</phrase></div>
<div class="oldwindowbg">
<b>$vbphrase[threads]:</b> $totalthreads<br />
<b>$vbphrase[posts]:</b> $totalposts<br />
<b>$vbphrase[members]:</b> $numbermembers<br />
<if condition="$show['activemembers']">
<b>$vbphrase[active_members]:</b> $activemembers<br /><br />
</if>
<phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$newuserid" 2="$newusername">$vbphrase[welcome_to_our_newest_member_x]</phrase>
</div>
<if condition="$show['birthdays']">

<!-- today's birthdays -->
<div class="navbar">$vbphrase[todays_birthdays]</div>
<div class="oldwindowbg">$birthdays</div>
<!-- end today's birthdays -->

</if>
<if condition="$show['upcomingevents']">
<if condition="$show['todaysevents']">
<div class="navbar">$vbphrase[todays_events]</div>
<else />
<div class="navbar"><phrase 1="$vboptions[showevents]">$vbphrase[upcoming_events_for_the_next_x_days]</phrase></div>
</if>

<div class="oldwindowbg">$upcomingevents</div>

</if>

<br />
<!-- end what's going on box -->

anychance you can put the style chooser in the default location of down the bottom on the forum home page?

also, for the vbulletin copyright, I think you are doing it differently, because I have branding free, and in all my other styles the copyright is not there, but in this style the copyright is showing. Maybe you did this to speed up the skin? but I feel it is something that should be left in tact, as the copyright date is off now anyway.

[Hornstar]

I dont see any style chooser at all in the usercp, where is it?

Also, how do I moderate the forums from this skin? I couldnt work out how to close threads or do anything like that.

[dartho]

@SAT2M - Have you installed and configured teh Auto-detect addon here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=173239 ?

@Hornstar - no moderation. You can delete threads/posts but thats about it. Style Chooser is in the Edit Options in UserCP (I just noticed that the title shows even of the user has no permissions to change styles). There are instructions on putting style chooser where you want back a page or two HERE

As for the copyright messages etc - the default uses half the screen so I entered in the minimum allowed. I however didn't want to modify the default phrases so I hard coded it. It's a pretty simple edit to make in the footer template. I'll look at making it an option to have default copyright messages or the reduced one in the future

@nike.stars - nice addition - I may put those in as options when I eventually release a companion addon for this style to allow individual customization without editing templates.

What a nice style to add to my just-upgraded forum. Thanks!

I did notice that if I go into the mobile style and then switch back from within the mobile's User CP, some of my other options are lost, such as time zone, DST usage, editor choice, and default subscription mode.

I didn't see anyone else notice this, so I'm thinking that perhaps I didn't set up something right. I'm going to need to look and see if I somehow messed up the User CP code when I uploded it to the forum.

[dartho]

ooo... That sounds like a bug. It would appear that any options that aren;t explicitly saved in the screen get lost which I think means I will need to add *all* options form the full "Edit Options" screen to the mobile version, or find another way to update them so existing options are preserved....

IN the mean time see here for otehr ways to implement style changing ...

[abrecher]

Great style! Does anybody know how I can create a mobile sitemap for this style to submit to Google ?

[dartho]

Would a mobile sitemap be any different than a non-mobile sitemap? URL's would be the same, just a different style?
