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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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

'bout ye!

I should be able to make this an option in a future release, just need to a plugin to chnage the $vbulletin->options['forumhomedepth'] value to 1.

The report post was added as a request, should also be able to make this optional.

You can either upload the new version, or edit each template that says it requires updating, and save it again without actually making changes to remove the vBulletin warnings.

Awesome - thanks for this update. Easy upload/install.

here is what it looks like on my iphone

Apologies - you haven;t done any thing wrong - that's the style, although somewhat reduced in size.

Judging by the fact that the entire forum home is visible on the one screen, I'd guess your iPhone is scaling the page down to make it fit, where it really shouldn't need to. I don;t have an iPhone so can't test but is there an option to automatically scale pages or something similar?

Have you checked ElForros' iPhone style (there's a link to it in the add-on description above) which is designed for specifically for iPhones. It's not well supported, and a bit heavy on bandwidth usage, but looks good.

[Edit: the iPhone may be reducing the page size as no width is set - I'll look into optionally setting the width of the page and see if that looks better]

I have a user getting the error 'handler could not be removed' on his treo - something to do with the javascript, but not sure what. Anyone have any ideas?

[dartho]

I donlt think there are any javascripts in this style, do you have any other modifications installed which could be causing the error? Let me know the page the error is occuring on and I can have a look

I don't think there's anything I've installed that would be causing this. The guy that is reporting the error says that it's happening on every page.

Another weird thing that happens on an env2 is you do not stay logged in. You can log in and post, but when the page reloads you are logged out. This is really strange since it works fine on my voyager and it practically the same browser.

Comment from one of my Moderators:

One small but annoying change in the new Mobile Style is that text typed into the quick reply box no longer word wraps to the screen width; most of the time this is OK but if you need to go back up the posts to check something in the thread, it takes ages to get back to where you were because the standard SIP doesn't have a 'End' or "Home' keys
