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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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

Could it be because we use more current versions of vBulletin? We are running it on vB v3.8.2 now (we update vB as soon as we can). Because we are running 3.8.3 now it won't let us reinstall your mobile style. Do you have any plans on releasing a version for 3.8 or is there a patch or anything available to use it on 3.8?

Is there a way that we can manually edit or replace that template?

Thanks.

I'm running this on 3.8.3 just fine. You wouldn't be running vBAdvanced, would you?

Here is the postbit / postbit_legacy template code:

<div class="$post[statustitle]windowbg2" id="post$post[postid]">
<a name="post$post[postid]"></a>
<a href="member.php?userid=$post[userid]">$post[username]</a> $post[posttime] $post[postdate]
</div>
<div class="windowbg">$post[message]<br />

		<!-- attachments -->
		<if condition="$show['attachments']">
			<div><span>Attached: </span>
			<if condition="$show['thumbnailattachment']">
					<span>$post[thumbnailattachments]<br /></span>
			</if>
		
			<if condition="$show['imageattachment']">
					<span>$post[imageattachments]<br /></span>
			</if>
			
			<if condition="$show['imageattachmentlink']">
					<span>$post[imageattachmentlinks]<br /></span>
			</if>
			
			<if condition="$show['otherattachment']">
					<span>$post[otherattachments]<br /></span>
			</if>
			
			<if condition="$show['moderatedattachment']">
					<span>$post[moderatedattachments]<br /></span>
			</if>
			
			</div>
		<!-- / attachments -->
		</if>
<if condition="$post['editlink']"><a href="$post[editlink]">[$vbphrase[edit]]</a></if>
<if condition="$post['replylink']"><a href="$post[replylink]">[$vbphrase[reply]]</a></if>
<if condition="$show['reportlink']"><a href="report.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]rel="nofollow">[!!]</a> </if>
</div>

@rudeboy - try editing the newreplay template and replacing

<textarea name="message" id="{$editorid}_textarea" rows="10" cols="15" style="width:100%; height:100px">$newpost[message]</textarea>

with

<textarea name="message" id="{$editorid}_textarea" rows="10" cols="15" style="width:100%; height:100px" wrap="virtual">$newpost[message]</textarea>

How would one go about adding a style selector? Say a user doesn't want to view the Mobile style but would rather see the regular style.

[dartho]

Installing the add-on to this style (here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=182692) gives you an option to have a link to the default style, or the style selector.

Alternatively you could edit a template (navbar? footer?) and manually add a link in to the default style.

tried that, unfortunately does not work....

add: not fully understanding, i read that cols is the width of the input box so i changed it to 2 just to see what it does, nothing.. i thought maybe that will help the wrap (or lack there off), wonder why this does not work.

add#2: it works on my laptop when i go to my mobile site... but when i try it on my BlackBerry it does not wrap :]

I got it to work. Nice. Thanks.

[rrudeboy]

is there anyway to FORCE the line break ? because what i have discovered that most if not all Windows Mobile phone do wrap, even older Curve's do...

but not the Storm

There is no difference between browsers on the various Blackberry's. As your Storm is having issues where other devices do not indicates it's a setting on your Blackberry. Ensure all your browser settings are turned on for the device.

i beg to differ, members of my forum with "older" Curve's have no issue and it word wraps for them, i tried all "simulators" in the Storm's browser (Blackberry, Firefox and Internet Explorer) and in none of them does it word wrap.

all browser settings ?

tks.
