Mobile Phone / iPhone / PDA Detection and Style Assignment

This add-on will detect most mobile phones, iPhones, PDAs and other mobile browsing devices and automatically for the user to a specific vBulletin style.

What can it do?
Detects most mobile phones and force the user to a specific style (users will not be able to select other styles from a mobile device with this add-on installed). If you have multiple styles installed which are optimized for small screen mobile devices, iPhones, WIndows Mobile devices you can assign a specific style to each of these groups.

Whilst designed with mobile device users in mind, you could also assign styles to self defined browsers. For example you can assign an alternative style to Internet Explorer users whilst Firefox users get the default style. You could also assign an alternative style to Google or Yahoo spiders.

Instructions:
0. Install styles which you wish to assign to Mobile/PDA/iPhone users - some links will appear at the bottom of this post
1. Download the product file
2. Install via Product Manager
3. Configure options via vBulletin Options, Mobile Device Detection (should appear at end)
4. Start browsing from your mobile device!
5. Click "Mark as Installed"

If upgrading from a previous 3.5 or 3.6 version, you will need to uninstall that and the install this one.

To uninstall simply uninstall the product - there are no database changes or additional files.

Styles released on vBulletin which you can use:
Dartho's Mobile, Cell, Phone, PDA, iPhone Style for vBulletin 3.7 (<-- yep, that's mine)
ElForro's iPhone / iPod Touch Optimized Style
Zachery's vB Lite Style
vBMechanics Mobile Alabama Style

Due to the stripped down nature of these mobile styles, you will find that most for 3.5 and 3.6 will work quite happily on 3.5, 3.6 & 3.7 although additional features introduced in vBulletin in recent years such as Social Groups, Blogs and Photo Galleries will not show well on a small screen. All should display your actual forums well.

3.6 Version can be found here

Marked as Beta until I get some feedback, and 3.7 goes Gold

Release Information
1.0.0 Initial release for 3.7 ported over from 3.6.8 version

In your mobile style, edit your adv_portal template to something like this:

Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html>
<head>
$headinclude
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=http://your forum domain/forum/index.php" />
</head>
<body>

$header

$navbar
<div align="center"><a href="http://your forum domain/forum/index.php">Portal Disabled in Mobile View - Click here if your browser does not automatically redirect you.</a></div>

$footer

</body>
</html>

Alright. I guess I am gonna use your code Biker_GA.

Thanks.

btw...What does the two stand for? Isn't that the amount of time in seconds before it redirects?

Alright. Now I have an issue with going back to the normal version. If a user decides they would like to use the normal version of your forum from their phone and they press the button "normal version" it will redirect them to the same skin.

Any fix on this?

Seems the Nextel Blackberry Curve is not working well for this mod. Is there a way to add it and make it work? Or is there a new version out yet?

Define not working. I have members using many different Blackberry models (including the Curve) and they're singing my praises for this mod. LOL

Why should something that is "by design" be fixed? It's SUPPOSED to be that way.
