Mobile/Cell Phone Style

A version for 3.7 can be found HERE

A super light style designed for Mobile Phones - use in conjunction with THIS or THIS modification to redirect mobile phone users to this theme.

This is a work in progress, and any and all feedback is greatly appreciated - I will do my best to act on bugs and suggestions.

Check http://mobility.mobi (not my site) from a mobile device to see how it looks or you can visit via an emulator HERE

Whilst this doesn't have ALL functionality of vBulletin default, it does allow browsing forums, replying to posts, creating new topics and sending/receiving PMs.

I'm new at this, be kind.

Version History
1.00 - Initial Release
2.00 - Validates Strict XHTML 1.0 on http://validator.w3.org/
Added PM notification, fixed new reply, new thread, new PM to look better. Can edit posts. Added Logout and also an "Up" menu which will take you to the parent forum of where ever you currently are. Images in posts are replaced with a link to the image - unfortunately this meant I had to do teh same to smilies which all now show up as :-) (which is a link to teh smilie itself). It is now approaching a fully functioning skin - not sure what else you would want to do from a mobile phone/PDA. A few small bugs fixed too.
2.01 - Added viewing thread subscriptions, who's online (both only for logged on members) and quick reply
2.02 - Quick reply for logged on members only
2.03 - fix a w3.org validation issue, added "mark forums read" to forum home
2.04 - Internal release
2.05 - added mark as read to 'new posts' added 'sub' (Subscribed threads) and 'online' (who's online) footer navbar forum name in post title (as link) fixed a few things.
2.06 - Page numbers appear in thread bits
- UserCP page, with access to PMs, Subscribed Threads, Edit Signature, Edit Options (which includes changing view from oldest first to newest first
- Basic MOD options added - can delete posts and threads (and undelete also)
- Remember me added to login in footer (duplicate login screens removed
- I should probably test this latest version more extensively and re validate it, but thought you wouldn;t mind a pre-release

2.07 - Added requests, revalidated STRICT XHTML on w3.org. If you have modified your existing install of this, I suggest you backup the style first before upgrading with this new version just in case you want to roll back.
2.08 - Remove backlink from FORUMHOME
2.09 - updated version numbers on templates to 3.6.9
2.10 - added securitytoken field to all forms

A Spanish translation can be found in post # 200 HERE

Install Instructions
Unzip and upload the wireless.css to your forum root.
Import the XML as a new style WITH NO PARENT.

Upgrade Instructions
Unzip and upload the wireless.css to your forum root (overwriet existing).
Import the XML and merge with existing. Alternatively you could delete the existing mobi style and re-upload fresh.

Keywords: Mobile, Cell, Portal, Mobi, Light, PDA, Phone

Screen Shots - Don;t be put off by the colours, these are all very easily changed by editing the CSS file. If you need help, just ask. I did these from a desktop browser with the window resized to 240px wide - to get a proper idea of the look, use the emulator link mentioned above. It looks MUCH better from an actualy small screen device!



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.

How can I make it so that a user's signature shows up when they make a post from their mobile device?

I saw the template changes to show sigs on the posts, but when someone makes a mobile post their sig doesn't show up (even when using the regular style).

I still get vB reporting that the 'theadbit' template needs updating to 3.6.9 ...

Weird I get this error from ready.mobi:

Character Encoding:

Character encoding in Content-type HTTP response header is not UTF-8. It was detected as: ISO-8859-1

Can someone direct me to the post that explains how to deactivate the vbadvanced side columns for this style? Everything else seems to be working good.

Thanks in advance

I just tried to import this style for 3.6.10 and VB wouldn't allow me. Below is the error messsage:

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

Your version: 3.6.10
File version: 3.6.9

Any idea how I can use it for 3.6.10?

[tekguru]

It's not just that issue, on my site at least even if one has the template already installed and upgrades the forum to 3.6.10 then using the style one is not able to post using it as the template upgrade has not worked.....

We need some serious fixing by the author here to give a 3.6.10 compatible version!

Been away on holiday for a bit - will look into issues as soon as I get a bit of time...

[treasureman]

Yeah, the new security check in VB 3.6.10 will not allow a post from this style. I went ahead and installed it with 3.6.10 and can view the forum fine, but get the below error when trying to post:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismached.

[Phaedrus]

hmmm... It worked for me in 3.6.10 before the upgrade.

Does yours have the line:

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

in the "newreply" template?
