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/posting/replying in forums
• Supports Private Messaging
• Supports Tags (viewing, not adding)
• Supports viewing and replying to messages in Social Groups
• Supports Thread Prefixes
• has an add-on product to customise here: Extend and Customise Mobile Style (It is recommended that you install this also, but not required)
• 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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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.

Thanks for that Keyser Soze - I've been wanting to (but putting off) doing that for a long time. Your list should make it much easier for me...

[jazz_aaf]

Thanks for the style.
You may want to check all those hardly-coded phrases in the style. There are alot of them that do not use vbulletin's phrases system.

@dartho
could you explain why after i post message / PM in opera mini the screen go white? It makes the feeling that the data is failed to sent for most of my member so it increase the chance of double / triple post

[dartho]

I don;t have that problem with Opera Mini on my site. Try testing via the OperaMini emulator (which I assume is using the latest version) and see of you get the same results

Okay I had to get this working, since I have already moved to 3.7 and I have mobile users

According to this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177013

If you are getting this error:

Find the following templates:

Add this just before the submit button:

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

That should at least get you by in a pinch until Dartho puts a new version up.

Umm... bit confused. What's the submit button code we should look for? In some templates, seems to be multiple instances where I see submit; or is it sbutton?

[dartho]

It's already been done in this release - no need to worry about this

[dartho]

I've just put up the template edits need to hide a style form the style chooser so users can;t select it.. see here: How to hide a style from style chooser

I may be able to make this into a mini-product and/or integrate it into the add-on which can customise this style

[Venturing]

Installed and looks good. Some fonts are a little large on the BlackBerry Curve, but I'm sure we'll get used to it, or end up tweaking the CSS a bit.

[dartho]

Someone else on a blackberry mentioned the same thing - edit the CSS and remove all the size declarations....

[BeerLuver]

Installed... tested on my MotoRAZR V3... looks/worked great in the built-in browser + in Opera Mini. Thanks for this excellent skin dartho . Got this setup for mobile devices, and the iPhone/Touch skin for those users. Very cool.
