BlackBerry Development is typically difficult because of the amount of different operating systems / carriers / phones.

There are 2 aspects to this plugin

1) The vBulletin code
2) The BlackBerry App

If you have issues, you can provide this thread with the following:

1. Your Forum URL
2. Make and Model of your BlackBerry
3. Operating System Version (4.5+)
4. Your Provider
5. The problem you are having

This app has been tested on ALL simulators for BlackBerrys with OS 4.5+ Installed. (Pearl, Curve, Bold, Bold 2, Gemini, Storm, Storm 2etc.. )

vBulletin Install

- Download the attached vBulletin Code
- Unzip to your forum root directory.

- There will be one file in your root named mobiforum.php and a new directory called m_functions

- Find the config file in /m_functions/config.php and edit it to your needs
- Change the icon "forum_large_icon.png" to your forum icon.

BlackBerry Install

OS 4.5+ and OS 4.7 Storm / Storm 2

Use your BlackBerry browser to surf to:

http://www.BerryBlab.com/

If you can't see our mobile download page, surf to

http://www.BerryBlab.com/MobileDevice.aspx


Once installed:

- Open the software
- Press the "BlackBerry Key" and select "Add Forum"
- Type in the full http://address.com/ to your forum, (where you extracted your zip file), including backslash.

That should be it. Your forum should be listed and you can now surf using your blackberry, natively. Use the "options" menu when you are viewing your forum to sign in.

This software comes with an Update Check for your BlackBerry, so you should only need to install it once on your phone and it will check for Updates everytime you connect with it.

You will (as a forum administrator) have to keep up with the updates on the vBulletin side however.

I will do my best to supply as much support as possible for all your phone types / forums.

Please make sure you post a LINK to your forum so that I can test it on my own BlackBerry as well as add it to the list above.

I will do something official tomorrow with an email, but I'm super tired. If you see this post, then you're part of the few that have the Storm Version now You will likely get an upgrade notice if you do install this sometime before tomorrow night.

Oh keep in mind if you did install the non-storm version of berryblab, you MUST uninstall it before installing this version or you will get some conflicting errors.

^^ The first issue is that the icon must be in the m_functions directory, in PNG format. Replace the default icon.

I will have to also install the Arabic language pack on my Blackberry. Know where I can download this from?

hi footose,

its in the same directory that you mentioned ? but still not changed


To download Arabic package Just go to your BlackBerry Desktop Manager then sellect Application Loader after that select Update Sofware --> Press Start button it will show you a box with all the updates that you didn't do it before.. one of the listed update is the languages. you will see Arabic

dont know why they didn't try logging in on their own. hahahaa

so basically u need to add a prompt when someone tries to post when not logged in

users are still trying to post with out logging in and thinking their posts aren't showing.


you need to put a log in notification when a user attempts to posts with out logging in.

also i have a user with a tour that could not reply to a private message.

+1.

Definately needs a "You are currently not logged in" at the top of all pages until the user is.

[footose]

Ok, I shall try to come up with a way to notify the user they are not logged in.

Space is a luxury as you know on a blackberry, so I'm trying to keep it all condensed as possible.

Harry,

One of my board users reported an error to me:

BB curve (8310) user reports getting this error when viewing a thread:

It says: uncaught exception string index out of range -1.

Any ideas?
