Mobile Device Style Assignment Details »» | ||||||||||||||||||||
This is my first released hack, be nice.
This hack will detect when a mobile device connects to your site and allow you to override the default style/skin with one you specify. Just install the product-file and set which style is your mobile device style via the AdminCP. Has been tested with several 3.6.x versions up to 3.6.8 I am also releasing a skin I wrote (it is based on vbmechanics Alabama skin, so updated or modified would be a more accurate description) for my own needs - it could probably be tidied up a lot more, but it works for me - take it as it is, I may offer limited support for this skin if I get time (no promises), and feel free to offer suggestions. Mobi - My super light skin is probably the one to go for, it has much greater functionailty. =Install Instructions= Go to Plugin System, Manage Products in your AdminCP and click Add/Import Product link at the end of the page Browse for the product-mobile_enabled36-x.x.x.xml product file and click 'import' Refresh your admincp page and in VBulletin Options, select the settings for 'Mobile Device Detection' Change the styleid of your mobile skin in "Mobile Device Style" to the StyleID number of your mobile device skin Change the styleid of your PDA skin in "PDA Device Style" to the StyleID number of your PDA device skin Your mobile/pda skin must be user selectable (although you can disbale the ability for users to change styles in vBulletin Options) Thats it! =Upgrade Instructions= Go to Plugin System, Manage Products in your AdminCP and click Add/Import Product link at the end of the page Browse for the product-mobile_enabled36-x.x.x.xml product file Choose to overwrite Click 'import' Re-configure Styleid of mobile/pda skin if required VERSION 1.0.7a Based on initial release - supports assigning one alternative style to ALL detected mobile devices VERSION 2.1.2 Now allows the addition of exceptions and also specifying a skin for Pocket PCs (Windows CE devices) and a skin for all otehr detected mobile devices. I've also released a very light skin HERE which is great for cell/Mobile phones LAST UPDATE 22-October 2007 VERSION 2.1.3 - removed, small bug VERSION 2.1.3a
To upgrade, simply overwrite product - your existing settings should be preserved. I've left the previous version available for download - to get the new version, download and install the attached XML **BACKUP YOUR DB BEFORE INSTALLING** Other Mobile / Lite Skins: Mobile - My super light skin iPhone / iPod Touch Optimised Style Alabama VBLite WAP Plugin - this is a similar product and skin which I didn't find till after I'd made this one - it seems to be more directed at WAP devices as opposed to all Mobile Devices, and appears to no longer be supported, but worth having a look at. Remember to click install and give a rating :up: keywords: Mobile, PDA, Autodetect, Autoselect, WAP, Skin, portal, cell, phone, iphone 3.7 Version Here Show Your Support

This is one of my styles - you can safely ignore the 'out-of-date' messages with this style too. If the warnings annoy you, you can 'edit' the templates and save them without making changes.

Thanks I love this mod. I have been looking a way to browse my site from my phone and now that is possible.

I hate making posts like this as I know how hard developers work on their mods, and I dont want to sound like I'm begging for stuff, but I wanted to throw something out.
Unlike others who wanted to use the standard style for an iPod/iPhone, I want a specific style for only an iPod/iPhone. How hard woudl it be to make/modify this mod to actually add custom inputs after a default was created? So create a default mobile entry gong to styleID 2, then start entering new lines. iPhone = StyleID 3 BB 8700 = StyleID 8 etc..... This seems like it would future proof your mod and eleviate specific requests. Of course I say this coming from an ignorant standpoint of not being a developer and understanding what its going to take. |

I just checked you site - and the "AV Forums for PDAs" is the same as you default skin. Is this the only 'mobile' skin?

So is adding a 3rd option "ipod" in addition to the PDA and Mobile options difficult to do?
I have been playing with the code and seem to have only screwed things up royally. |

Doesn't work when I have unchecked the 'allow user selection' in style manager. Is there a work around available to get it working without having to allow users to use the mobile style on regular http version.
