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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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

It got me the results I wanted:

When i click on a thread it takes me to the last post, should it not take me to the first post.

[dartho]

it *should* take you to the newest read post, which would be the last one if you've already read the thread, or the first one if not...

+1 for the 3.8.x update. But I've got this going on 3.8.1 and so far so good.

Few things I would ask for though in the update, if you do one that is, are:

• Line breaks between post replies
• Text wrapping on input fields
• Moderator tools access
• Direct link to PMs (showing how many new texts)
• Link to AdminCP (if conditional)
• AdminCP style
• New thread/post flag (most important out of the lot IMHO)

If you could add them in I'd be one happy camper, but please don't see this post as a complaint.

Thanks for your work,

Sy

[cbehan]

great stuff. I eagerly await a 3.8 version...and also second the requests from Sym0n...

[Alfa1]

A 3.8 version would be appreciated. Please include blog and groups.

Installed and working for the most part.

I did modify the threadbit template to indicate new posts exist by having the thread title in bold and old threads in regular text.

My forum supports Linear/Hybrid/Threaded modes and it does seem that things don't display properly if the user doesn't default to Linear mode if the thread has non-linear discussion. If that's the case is there a way to force the user to Linear mode when using the mobile style so all the conversation is visible?

[Biker_GA]

My users are singing praises since I installed it this morning. Just one little request. It would be nice to include an option to redirect mobile devices directly to the forums. Our primary page is a portal page and doesn't render very well with some mobile devices. It would be a god send if the options for the style allowed for a redirect directly to the forum pages.

Great product! Thanks!

To disable (in a manner of speaking) vBadvanced, edit the adv_portal template in the mobile style and replace it's contents with the following or something similar:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html>
<head>
$headinclude
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=forum.php" />
</head>
<body>

$header

$navbar
<div align="center"><a href="forum.php">Portal Disabled in Mobile View - Click here if your browser does not automatically redirect you.</a></div>

$footer

</body>
</html>

[Biker_GA]

Perfect! Thanks!
