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.

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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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

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.

Problem people who log in with FF through the internet are put in mobile style. Is their a fix to this?

This is just a style - its browser independant.

Thanks for your response but one more question. Is there a way to make that users can't choose the mobile style as there default style on the forum while browsing from their computers? People are choosing it and then they can't choose a different style from the mobile theme..

[dartho]

This addon - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=183185 - will allow you to "hide" a style from the style chooser...

[Greek76]

Thank you again but now I have some members complaining that they don't see the subforums while on mobile style. Any ideas?

[dartho]

I've not come across this as an issue before - what is your site, I'll look ...

[Se?or Ramos]

I couldn't find this posted anywhere, so I'll ask...

Where do I go to edit the color of the text, background, etc? I wanted to have white font with yellow links and a green background.

[dartho]

You'll need to edit the CSS file to make colour changes

How can I post a small image at the top of the page? When I post an HTML image tag, it gets ignored? What about a javascript banner tag?

[dartho]

If you wish to use an IMG tag, try and swap the parameters.

rather than <img src="mypic.jpg" alt="My Pic" /> use <img alt="My Pic" src="mypic.jpg" />

this shouldn't get replaced with an anchor tag

Hmmm, this causes the alt text to show up, see attached screen shot. Is it possible to use javascript to show a banner? Last question, I've started reading through this monster thread, and I see that it is possible to show google ads but I'm not seeing where to enable that or put in the code?

Sorry for all the questions!
