Add-On Releases - Extend and Customise "Mobile" Style Options

This is an add-on for (and thus requires) the Mobile, Cell, Phone, PDA, iPhone Style.

It adds options to your vBulletin Options for customizing:

• Optionally adds links to default style (in footer or navbar)
• Optionally add 'Posted Via Mobile' message to new posts/threads (message can be customised)
• Optionally display "What's Going On" box in forum home
• Optionally display Style Chooser in footer
• Set 'Home' link URL (rather than editing templates)
• Can hide mobile style from Style Chooser
• More as suggested ....

Install the latest Mobile style (should have same version number as this addon, but may have a different alpha char on end of version number)

Install this add-on and set your options

[Tralala]

Right now the UserCP -> Edit Options for "Number of Posts to Show Per Page" applies to all styles.

I would like to see some customization, so for example, when a user has chosen the desktop style, they can choose to load 50 posts per page. But when they are using the mobile style, users default to loading / seeing 20 posts per page. This makes sense as they are on the go with a slower connection.

Could this mod help with that?


EDIT: nevermind, found this...

Dartho, you rock!

Getting a weird error at the bottom navbar and there's no link to switch to default style, even though I have that enabled.

It shows:

Log Out Search Array['mo37_default_link']

can you help?

[dartho]

Fireproof, could you try editing the footer template and replace $vbulletin->options['mo37_default_link'] with {$vbulletin->options['mo37_default_link']}

Thanks!

Thanks!

Okay, that fixed it - my link now shows correctly. However, clicking on it appears to just refresh the index page, it doesn't switch styles. Am i the only one with this problem?


Also - Feature Request - Do you think it would be easy (or useful) to add in the Mobile Style Options the ability to append signatures when people post via mobile device?

[dartho]

Are you using the autodetect add-on? If so, links to the default style will not work as the autodetect addon overrides any user choice

Oh, yes, that makes perfect sense. Duh.

Thank you.

[dartho]

Thanks, Fireproof - Mobile Style updated to version 0.0.10a to fix bug you found.

I'll look at the signature thing - signatures should be in there anyway even if not displayed with in the mobile style...

[dartho]

Updated - added a new option where you can enter in PHP code to disable certain addons with in the mobile style.

Included sample code to disable MCG CHatbox and Cyb Chatbox by default. This won;t be useful for ALL addons, but will hopefully nelp with some and remove the need for manually editing plugins. If you have an addon which you want disabled in the mobile style, post a link here and I'll see if I can help.

**I have however only tested with Cybernetec Paypal Donate - works with that OK.

Would it be something that could prevent vBAdvanced modules from showing up when integrated using vBA's integration settings?

[dartho]

Possibly. Integrating the forums with vBadvanced in the manner you have is not standard vbadvanced (that I know of) - if you point me in the direction of the instructions you followed to do it or PM me admincp access details as I suggested a couple weeks ago, I could look into this for you. It would likely only require some template edits.
