About Developer · **Released**: 08-24-2010

A lightweight *forum only style aimed at small screen devices such as Windows Smartphones, Nokias and even iPhones. It has VERY low bandwidth requirements - 15 times less on my site - 20K as opposed to 300K for forumhome.

*forum only - I have done a very small amount of rough work on CMS templates, a simple single column CMS *could* be created to work with this style without too much effort. However I am not sure if you can have a different CMS layout dependent on which style you are using?

This is an update to the mobile style I have previously released.

The changes are predominantly aesthetic to take advantage of larger screens.

It is also much easier to change colour schemes by editing the commented CSS file.

Demo: http://vbdev.org/forum.php?styleid=7

This is a a lightweight style and as such has much reduced functionality/information over the default vBulletin style.

Install instructions:

Firstly, if upgrading, I recommend installing this as a new style rather than overwriting your previous install. This way you get to test it first without trashing your existing style.
BACKUP YOUR EXISTING lightweight.css.php FILE IF YOU HAVE CSS CUSTOMISATIONS
Download ZIP file
Unzip to a local/temp directory
Edit lightweight.css.php file to customise colours if required
Upload contents of the upload directory in the zip file folder to your forum root.
Install style XML via Style Manager in your ADMINCP
**Install and configure "LightWeight Style Options"
See post 2 for a FAQ
Click "Mark as Installed"
Test it out

Enjoy checking your site from your mobile phone without the need to pinch/zoom/wait etc...

Version Control:

1.0.0 - 25 AUG 2010 - Initial Release on vBulletin.org
1.0.1 - 26 AUG 2010 - Fixed "Mark All Forums Read" link in Search results. Released Lightweight Style Options to customise this
1.0.2 - 21 MAR 2011 - Updated to 4.1.2, removed short tags from CSS, fixed some issues discovered since last release, added some stuff.
1.0.3 - 16 DEC 2011 - Updated to 1.0.3, tried to fix all known issues. Nothing new. If you have updated your site as bugs have been found, probably no need to upgrade. But if you're upgrading your site from to 4.1.9, might be worthwhile.
1.0.3a - 16 DEC 2011 - remove test ad hook code accidently left in postbit_legacy template

Branding Free:

The style is free to use. However I ask that you keep links in the footer. If you want to remove them - send me a donation of an amount you can afford, or that you think is fair/reasonable, it's up to you how much.

are you trying to do it as a product or style?

Robbed · #**413** 07-03-2011, 09:38 PM

thanks that fixed the video issue.

Do i have to install this style after every upgrade. Doesn't it automatically merge templates?

dartho · #**414** 07-04-2011, 04:20 AM

I think you can not have the automerge thing happen, or after amn upgrade un-merge? I'll takenote when I next do an upgrade

After I installed this style, I can't see any backgrounds.
I attach 2 pics.
threads appear as a list without divisions

Why?
Thank you.

dartho · #**416** 07-04-2011, 05:29 AM

You haven't upload the CSS file to your forum root

blankpage · #**417** 07-04-2011, 10:24 AM

Ok ! Thank you! Now it works!

Yes, guess who's feeling pretty damn stupid right now. It had been a long day.

Not sure if it has been mentioned but you should add the show signature code in the showthread template as most would probably want it on/enabled rather then off.

Code:

		<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo['signature']">
					<input type="hidden" name="signature" value="1"/>
		</vb:if>

Also I personally replaced vbcms_page with:

Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"<vb:if condition="$vboptions['enablefacebookconnect']"> xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"</vb:if> dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">
<head>
	{vb:raw headinclude}
	<title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</title>
	{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location = "/forums/"
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>

{vb:raw header}

{vb:raw navbar}

<div id="pagetitle" class="pagetitle ui-bar-b">
	<h1 class="pagetitle">{vb:rawphrase vbulletin_message}</h1>
</div>

<div data-role="content">	
	<div class="ui-body ui-body-e">{vb:rawphrase content_not_supported_by_mobile_style, {vb:link forumhome}}</div>
</div>

{vb:raw footer}

</body>
</html>

It redirects the users to /forums/ which is where my forums are.

EDIT: Another thought too, I would add "Top" links to the bottoms of pages as it can be useful in some scenarios.

I've installed this and it's all working fine, however it's done something to all the rest of my styles, and I now can't edit any of them in the Edit Templates screen.

All the templates have turned yellow, indicating they are inherited from a Parent style ... any idea what I have done and how I can reverse it? It's not much help if I can't edit any templates!

dartho · #**421** 07-07-2011, 10:57 PM

Sounds like it has merged with your master style or you have somehow out it in as a parent?

Question: Did you upload teh XML to your forum and install from there, or install from your local machine by browsing to the XML file and installing?

Either way, try uploading tools.php from the vbulletin install files to your admincp, run it and rebuild the master style (I think that's what it is called - it's one of the first options)
