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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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

Does this style working with G1 phone?

[dartho]

I don;t see any reason why it wouldn't.

I'm having problems even installing this.

I downloaded everything as stated. I changed the css.txt to remove the .txt. I imported the xml file in product manager...but then it states that "invalid file specified". I've deleted and retried this 5 times now and still cannot get it to work.

What am I doing wrong???

[dartho]

It's a style, not a product. You need to install via the Style Manager as per instructions in first post:

[caldangel]

oops, I meant style. I did that, and it does say invalid.

[caldangel]

OK, I got it uploaded. Now, I have some issues, however I haven't read all 26 pages.

* I would like to see something identifying new posts on the phone, is there an option or code for this?

* Some of my moderators use their phone, and moderate that way, however there's no way to see the mod options other than delete and edit. Is there any way to see the moderating menu in this skin?

Any word on being able to register using this style? I've got alot of users complaining that they can't register from their mobile.

I've edited the navbar to include a link to the registration form, but I'm having big issues formatting the registration form to show up on a mobile device - in particular, the Password and Email fields, the 2nd 'confirm' box doesn't show.

On a note to disabling GARS for a specific style, Morgan over at www.TheVBGeek.com offered this suggestion which I tested and it seems to work:

Edit the "GARS - Startup" plugin and replace

require_once(DIR . '/geek/gars/includes/gars_ignition.php');

with

if (STYLEID != xx){
    require_once(DIR . '/geek/gars/includes/gars_ignition.php');
}

where xx = the styleid of the mobile style.

If there's two style how do i input both number?

[dartho]

if ((STYLEID != xx) && (STYLEID != yy))

:up:

oops - that should have been an && not an || - post edited
