A lightweight *forum only style aimed at small screen devices such as Windows Smartphones, Nokias and even iPhones. It has VERY low bandwidth requirements - 15 times less on my site - 20K as opposed to 300K for forumhome.
*forum only - I have done a very small amount of rough work on CMS templates, a simple single column CMS *could* be created to work with this style without too much effort. However I am not sure if you can have a different CMS layout dependent on which style you are using?
This is an update to the mobile style I have previously released.
The changes are predominantly aesthetic to take advantage of larger screens.
It is also much easier to change colour schemes by editing the commented CSS file.
This is a a lightweight style and as such has much reduced functionality/information over the default vBulletin style.
Install instructions:
Firstly, if upgrading, I recommend installing this as a new style rather than overwriting your previous install. This way you get to test it first without trashing your existing style.
BACKUP YOUR EXISTING lightweight.css.php FILE IF YOU HAVE CSS CUSTOMISATIONS
Download ZIP file
Unzip to a local/temp directory
Edit lightweight.css.php file to customise colours if required
Upload contents of the upload directory in the zip file folder to your forum root.
Install style XML via Style Manager in your ADMINCP
Enjoy checking your site from your mobile phone without the need to pinch/zoom/wait etc...
Version Control:
1.0.0 - 25 AUG 2010 - Initial Release on vBulletin.org
1.0.1 - 26 AUG 2010 - Fixed "Mark All Forums Read" link in Search results. Released Lightweight Style Options to customise this
1.0.2 - 21 MAR 2011 - Updated to 4.1.2, removed short tags from CSS, fixed some issues discovered since last release, added some stuff.
1.0.3 - 16 DEC 2011 - Updated to 1.0.3, tried to fix all known issues. Nothing new. If you have updated your site as bugs have been found, probably no need to upgrade. But if you're upgrading your site from to 4.1.9, might be worthwhile.
1.0.3a - 16 DEC 2011 - remove test ad hook code accidently left in postbit_legacy template
Branding Free:
The style is free to use. However I ask that you keep links in the footer. If you want to remove them - send me a donation of an amount you can afford, or that you think is fair/reasonable, it's up to you how much.
for example in red color "your customized value"old default value" and "new default value"
what sould i do? copy paste for new default value and replaced to your customized value?
Just installed and love this style. As a future request, I would love to have the option to tap on our logo at the top of each page and define a target url for that. In our case, we would like a tap on our logo to take us to our main mobile home page which already has links to our various mobile areas of our site.

Thanks for a great addition to vb! -- Rik
That should be easy enough to do. All you'd need to do is hard code the URL in the header template (I think its header...)

2. I'm not able to resize pictures. Normally on other styles I modify the StyleVars "image_large_max", image_medium_max" and "image_small_max" and everything works fine
Do you have some ideas to solve these problems?
Thank you in advance
