Forum Display Enhancements - Mobile Style Options 4.0

This is an add-on for the 4.0 version of my Mobile style. If you do not have this style installed, it is of no use to you!

It adds options to your vBulletin Options for customizing:

• Optionally adds links to default style (in footer or navbar)
• Optionally add 'Posted Via Mobile' message to new posts/threads (message can be customised)
• Optionally display "What's Going On" box in forum home
• Optionally display Style Chooser in footer
• Set 'Home' link URL (rather than editing templates)
• Can hide mobile style from Style Chooser

Install the latest Mobile style (should have same version number as this addon, but may have a different alpha char on end of version number)

Install this add-on and set your options

Version History
1.0.1 - Initial Release port from 3.x
1.0.2 - Fixed up 'Posted via Mobile' options

You can modify how the message displays by editing the "posted_by_mobile_device" template, you could even edit the hook location and have it display above the post

1.0.3 - Reality check for this with issues, no new functionality
1.0.4 - small install change which should stop timeouts on sites with large post tables

Worked just fine. Danke!

Installed - Had to install 40 though, not the 1.0.2a version as that wouldn't install on 4.0.2 (just hung around, and eventually gave me a db error.

I don't suppose you know what the error was?

This is a neat idea, but very flawed.

The style is barely useful, particularly on an iPhone, a product with a modicum of class in its interface. There are WordPress plugins that provide a decent user interface. You should use them as influences.

Also, it's unfortunate that your mod doesn't automatically detect user agents, so when I use the iPhone I still have to switch manually. What's the good of that?

Peace,

Do you have to install the 3.8 version to use this? I have 4.0.2 and I saw that at the top of this thread you said this mod is of no use if I don't have the older version. But I can't upload the XML file of the old version.

Can I just install the one listed in this thread? Or is this just an add-on to the old version? Thanks in advance.

Edit: Nevermind I found the 4.0 version, but I am unable to upload the XML file? When I try to import it it says invalid file specified.

Manoel - there's nothing to see but a few admincp options

Gene - Why does you website not tell me about rugby or rugby teams? It is barely useful. There are other sites which do focus on rugby - you should use them as influences.

As for detection, there is already a product which does this.

BTW - anyone with an ounce of originality could easily modify the CSS to make this style look the way they want. Have a look at http://www.inbeforethelock.co.uk/index.php?styleid=72

Jabong - Not sure - I just downloaded teh style frsh and installed with no error?

My site is a paranormal radio show — and that's obvious to anyone who spends 3 seconds there. Boy are you confused.

Peace,
Gene

Gene, it may be obvious to you - but yes I am confused - when I view your site from my cell phone I get nothing but errors and no content. My own site however looks great!
