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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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

3.8 update needed please,

Thanks

[tekguru]

Seconded are we going to get a 3.8.0 version?

[dbirosel]

Has anyone tested if this works for 3.8?

[dartho]

The Forums aspect of this style all still work well under 3.8 (as far as I know) - I think private messaging is OK too - social groups is a bit broken though with new templates...

[tekguru]

My guys are reporting that the link back to the main forum index has now vanished. Plus the expansion Mod which adds the added functionality is no longer shows any options under 3.8.0

[dartho]

just checked - both are working on my site + my test site - only Social groups not displaying 'mobile friendly'

[MissKalunji]

is there any way to add "approving" posts in the template? some section i require to moderate thread before...

Excellent. Sounds like there's a couple issues with it on 3.8.0 so I'm going to keep watching this thread but this is exactly what I've been waiting for.

You rock - I can't wait!!


edit Okay I couldn't wait. I installed it on 3.8.1 and this looks AWESOME. Checking it out on my HTC Touch Diamond using IEMobile, Skyfire and Opera Mobile - resolves in mobile style perfectly in each.

Making posts, moderating threads, emotes show up and the pages load damn fast.

I'm sure there'll be minor quirks with some of the hacks we've installed but you've nailed the key there here - mobile access and functionality.

You rock.
