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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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.

Help! Downloaded fine, works on my phone fine, but I cannot post on my own site via phone as the password keeps getting wiped. What am I doing wrong?

Also, have one user that gets this hack as 'default' on his PC. I have had to turn it off to stop this, can anyone help?

I did and removed the size declarations as you suggested and now it works great. Nice and small, but very readable. :up:

Is there anyway to remove the template notice in the AdminCP??

It's showing I need to update 10 templates which obviously have been customized for this style.

I'm using Vbulletin 3.7.2

FIXED

**EDIT**

I opened the XML and did a find and replace for every instance of 3.7.1 and replaced it with 3.7.2 then re-uploaded the style overwriting the original.

For a user to get this on their PC, they would have to select it as their style. In the add-on I released to go along with this, you can add a link back to the default style so users can get back to that if they select by accident/curiosity

If you have the mobile detect hack installed and this is what is forcing the user to teh mobile style, check the users useragent string and post here so I can see if it is conflicting with anything. Also if you are using the autodetect hack, it may be worth hiding the MObile style from PC users so they can;t select it by accident - this addon will help

dartho, do you have any intention in the future to add the moderation tools in this style? I have a couple of my mod asking about this feature as most of my moderator prefer to access my forum via the phone

[dartho]

Mods can delete threads and posts. What other sorts of moderation would you want form a mobile phone?

Is there a easy way to add a link to this style?
I have a tab forum like here on .org, but can't see those forums on this style, just the main page. What would be easiet or you suggest I do to view these other tab forums ?

[dartho]

You just need to create a link to "index.php?styleid=xx" where xx is the styleid number. However, if you are using this style in conjunction with the auto-detect add-on, mobile uses will be force to use this style anyway.

THere is also an add-on to this style here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=182692 which allows to to customise a few things in addition to including a link back to your default style and hiding the mobile style form the style chooser for your PC users.

Hi, great mod, will there be a version for 3.7.2? I'm getting this error.

This file was created using a different version of vBulletin from the one you are running.

Your version: 3.7.2
File version: 3.7.1

Any quick fixes?
