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you are installing this on a vBulletin version higher than the current 'supported' version, and wish to get rid of the Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!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

@Quantnet - You could try editing the navbar template and replacing:

<if condition="$vbulletin->options['mo37_default_style_link']==1">
<a class="navbar" href="{$vbulletin->options['mo37_navbar_home']}?$session[sessionurl]styleid={$vbulletin->options['mo37_default_style']}">{$vbulletin->options['mo37_default_link']}</a>
</if>

with

<if condition="$vbulletin->options['mo37_default_style_link']==1">
<a class="navbar" href="{$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]}&amp;styleid={$vbulletin->options['mo37_default_style']}">{$vbulletin->options['mo37_default_link']}</a>
</if>

There may be some issue I'm not sure of (you *should* in theory clean all server vars before using them, but this *seems* safe (insert wordy disclaimer here) - use at your own risk, if you have knowledge of such this - you input is welcome!

What do I have to change so that when there is a new post in a thread, the thread title is in bold, but NOT in bold after the new post within it is read? The main page behaves this way with the categories-if there's a new post somewhere, the category title will be in bold.

I tried deleting all of the font-weight: bold lines out of the css file, but it didn't have any effect on anything! Thank you!!

try loggin out and then logging back in and seeing if it still remains bold. thx

This seems to work. I'll def let you know when my users notify me of something wrong
Thanks


Edit: When I keep switching back and forth between the styles, I notice that the styleid var is being added to the site url over and over
?styleid=23&styleid=35&styleid=23&&styleid=35&styl eid=23..................

[dartho]

that doesn't suprise me - not much to do about it with this method (other than to not sit idly changing styles ) Should be back to a standard uri as soon as you follow a link

[Hornstar]

dartho, I noticed it has been a year without any updates. Are you planning on doing any updates to this skin? Since I find it is the better of the phone skins available to the public currently.

[dartho]

I've been planning on doing updates, and have made tweaks along the way on my own site - I just need to incorporate these and release a new package for 3.8. There have been no major changes however...

[Quantnet]

Can't wait for the updates, dartho.

One thing in my wishlist would be a way to override the Detect Mobile and Style Assignment mod. I like the idea of giving mobile users the default mobile style but giving them an option to switch back.

Currently your style does not work with with that mod.

The second thing would be the User CP template. Right now, I have to scroll down past the User CP menu item to get to the PM. Somehow the layout is just off.

[Quantnet]

And vb 3.8.4 released today and I have 32 out of date templates found, all from this mobile style

It's a perfect time to release a 3.8.x upgrade, dartho

[Biker_GA]

If it bothers you that much, just go in to the xml file and replace the version with 3.8.4.

What were you thinking?
The templates for 3.7.2 are nowhere compatible to 3.8.4. It's not about changing the version letter in the xml
